text: See the Muse articles. The album was re-released in Aus in 2007 as cd/dvd. (aside - I agree, loved the song, but it was such a shock to hear it won for 2007!) •Florrie•leave a note• 04:49, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

message: This sounds like the ban on flags at the Big Day Out...seriously though, you can set yourself up for a lot of work, debate and fuss over which flags to include.  Should "Stronger" be listed as a French (for Daft Punk) as well as an American (Kayne West) song?  What about groups comprising of artists of different nationalities?

replies: text: Stronger is listed twice this year, once as being by KW, which is noted as American, and the other by DP, and is indicated as being French. For composite groups where origin is dubious (such as Crowded House), it's a matter of going with how the band represents themselves (in the case of Crowded House, they're an Australian band, but are led by a kiwi and have 2/4 American members, which does make matters difficult to justify calling Australia home, but they do nevertheless). A band like the Travelling Wilburys could also be difficult, because it's intentionally an international supergroup. For that, you'd go with wherever they recorded (in that case, the USA), because often those kinds of groups are put together by a music producer, and usually they'll record in their own home town. Whatever the case, there's almost always a simple one-answer response to the origin of an artist. There's a russian born American girl in the list, but she's listed as American because she started her career there. --rm 'w avu 22:31, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: That was part of my reasoning for being against flags.  In other articles in which flags are used, they are usually sports teams, governments etc. which are clearly a part or representative of one country - no ambiguity about it.  If you have a football player who parents are Ukranian and Croatian, was born in Australia, but plays for Australia, then Australia is obviously the defining country.  Bands/artists are more ambiguous.  People can be born in one country, grow up in another, be "discovered" in another, live in another, record albums in another...  -- Chuq (talk) 00:47, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

text: The flags were given up on 5 February! All lists use text to identify nationalities and several nationalities can be recognised, as with Trout, Neneh Cherry & Michael Stipe -  Sweden & United States on the Triple J Hottest 100, 1993 list. This could also have been accomplished with flags but, as mentioned previously, that idea was squashed earlier. •Florrie•leave a note• 01:35, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

message: Where possible I've tried to incorporate the trivia comments into the text as per WP:TRIVIA. One comment is now a footnote and one remains under the 'trivia' header - the Living End reference. •Florrie•leave a note• 09:44, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I thought the Joy Division bit was Trivia.....oh well, I'm fairly new to this I guess. --Skyhawker666 (talk) 14:43, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, it is trivia, but wikipedia discourages sections of 'trivia' which is why I've incorporated the bits and pieces into the text or footnotes. There's just the one left and I don't know what to do with it! Cheers, •Florrie•leave a note• 15:01, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Trivia 

message: Florrie has pointed out that the sortable option used for the tables makes this "Artists with multiple entries" list a little redundant. While the sortable table lists the same artists together to show the number of entries, it doesn't actually list the artists in the order of the most number of entries, like this list does. Any comments about this? RaNdOm26 (talk) 08:18, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: You forgot to link to the table - here it is •Florrie•leave a note• 08:28, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

text: ETA - no, I don't think the list is redundant, I don't think it needs to be replaced with another table. I think the list is sufficient. Sorry for the confusion. •Florrie•leave a note• 08:30, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
