message: "H has also recently anounced that he is gay. This came as a surprise to fans, however, H had already informed fellow, former band members and his family at the age of 21."
H's sexuality was a matter of discussion whilst he was in the band. I disagree that the recent news is surprising. Needs a source and short rewrite. --ScMeGr 20:56, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: H Sexuality

message: What a poor article, full of critisism and niff-naff. I hope that someone can rewrite the whole lot in to a sensible article highlighting the success of the group through very popular music and showmenship/showwomenship. In fact what on earth has Big Brother 2007 got to do with Steps as a group? I think I will remove it as it is completely irrelevent.Sidney Bung 19:42, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: what about the charts? the UK section lists them as having had 12 number ones lol which is not true, and besides, negated by the rest of the article. Dollvalley 14:07, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

text: I agree.  Nearly every sentence is just random opinion.    The usual course of action seems to be to request a citation for every sentence in the article.    I think that is often rather excessive, but this article doesn't seem all that reliable to me.  In particular, statements such as "heavily criticised by their own fans" likely are not true, especially in the frequency at which they occur in this article, as anyone who dislikes so much of what a group does isn't likely to be a fan of that group.    The information in the article generally doesn't feel trustworthy.    --  The one and only Pj 01:23, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Awful Article

message: Why is the title of this article "STEPS" instead of "Steps?"  Aside from the fact that the English language doesn't capitalize things like that unless they are acronyms, the rest of the article uses "Steps" rather than "STEPS" and I've never seen anything aside from this article to suggest that the proper capitalization is "STEPS." --  The one and only Pj 01:23, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

message: Please do not change British spellings to American spellings... Guess which country the band are from? Guess which spellings we are going to use? No American spellings.
And, also, no double spacing after sentences please! I keep having to do change them.  Don't you agree that the gap in between sentences is just too big?  Like these?  It's like wasted room. And no POV, please. I removed a whole bunch of that crap; "shocking", "actually", "carefully", "considerable achievement", "the mastermind behind the group" etc. Ugh...

replies: text: If you can see the difference between single and double spaces while viewing the article normally, then it's due to a bug in your browser.  Every browser I've used follows this particular HTML standard by collapsing multiple spaces into a single space.  As such, most of us cannot see any difference, and so see it as perfectly reasonable to type whatever number of spaces between sentences they're naturally accustomed to. -- Smjg 14:45, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

message: Just saw that the article said that the winner of the first series of Steps to the Stars was a young Joss Stone - this is complete rubbish. I actually recorded the series when it aired and was watching it again last night - the girl's name was Jenny-Lynn Smith and she looks absolutely nothing like Joss Stone. I don't know who wrote that unfounded claim in but I'm editing it now. :) KoopaCooper (talk) 19:23, 4 August 2016 (UTC)

message: So there has been some edit warring regarding the definition of the Years Active in the infobox. After reading the explanation of this on Template:Infobox musical artist it seems clear to me that this just refers to when they are active as a group not if they had split up. So i think the page should show '2011-2013 & 2017-present'. Just like it does on One Direction, for example. 
Any thoughts on this, otherwise i will revert to this and place a hidden note saying to discuss before changing in future. 
Cheers,

replies: text: I would agree with this, as defined here.   However it does of course leave it to interpretation what counts as "active". What level of activity counts as active?   I would suggest it means the members working together in some capacity, with at least a year leeway, and accounting for other projects members may be involved in.  But it may depend on band statements or past history. --Escape Orbit (Talk) 10:41, 25 November 2020 (UTC)
