message: It looks like world war 3 at this article!! Was it typed by 9 year olds??? It needs a major clean-up which im gonna do this instant!! MajorHawke (talk) 15:02, 3 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, so horribily written that it even gives wrong information: on the one hand, it says "released in March 1984" but, on the infobox for the single, it says clearly on the "Release date" field "July 23, 1984". So, which is it: March or July 1984? --Fandelasketchup (talk) 10:41, 1 November 2016 (UTC)

message: This article lists a reelase date for "Drive" of July 23, 1984.  However this song was in heavy airplay in late May 1984, and the album that contains it was released in March 1984.  Why is Wikipedia keeping track of dates for singles being released?  Maybe I need to ask this elsewhere but I have no idea where to start. -Rolypolyman (talk) 22:21, 4 July 2021 (UTC)
