Talk:Gossip (band)

message: The typeface used for their band name looks like it consists of runes and the SS logo. Are they right-winged? Example: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/3/3a/Music_for_Men.jpg 92.105.115.181 (talk) 19:28, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: They're a punk-influenced band that's 2/3 gay and 100% feminist.  Something tells me their politics are about as left-wing as it gets. tdogg241 23:29, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

message: they've had a lot of sucess in the uk recently with 'standing in the way of controll' featuring on the promotions for E4's Skins
:Sure, this is a factor, but they were getting a lot of press anyway since Beth Ditto was rated by NME. Rogwan 16:20, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Skins

message: What does being "open about her weight" entail, exactly?  I mean, sexuality, fine.  But isn't one's weight something one doesn't have much choice about being open about?  It's not like being overweight (unlike sexual preference) is something one can keep in the closet... Does the statement mean that the singer is always talking about her weight?  Or perhaps that the band is controversial for having an overweight lead singer?  I don't know, I just found it an odd assertion.  Since I am unfamiliar with the band, I have no idea what it means, so perhaps it could be addressed more clearly.

message: *Oppose.  This doesn't need merged Ms. Ditto is a figure in her own right, with plenty to warrant an entry of her own.  Also, her public comments and "out" life do not necessarily represent the attitudes of her band-mates.  Runrik Y. 129.98.206.72 15:05, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

message: What do we think about dropping 'The' from the band's name throughout the article, and just adding formerly known as The Gossip to the first line? Wwwhatsup 22:13, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Oh and, as pointed out above, the page would have to be moved. It does seem that the band have dropped the The. Wwwhatsup 22:18, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

message: According to fair use guidelines use of copyrighted images in galleries doesn't fall under fair use. I've gone ahead and put all the information sans images into tables as a quick fix. Since I'm not a regular editor on this page I don't expect these to remain the way I left them. I don't think they look especially great, but I'll leave it to more knowledgeable editors to decide what works best for the article. Happy editing.  --Zytsef 19:31, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Copyrighted images

message: :Image:Gossip bandlogo.PNG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.
