I think its unfair to call the Wildhearts metal... they're just a very good hard rock band. - Deathrocker 13:10, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Wildhearts logo.jpg

message: I see that this article has been the subject of a neutrality question for 5 months without comment. I'm a diehard Wildhearts fan, and like the contributor who commented above on the verification problem, I view this article with a bit of trepidation myself. Thanks to everyone who has built the article, because it has enhanced my knowledge of the band's history considerably. But I see the reason behind the neutrality question. Much of the article has fanclub-like praise, like calling Fishing for Luckies "an instant classic." That's just one example. Maybe it's not really non-neutral, but for an encyclopedia it can probably be seen as non-historical or non-journalistic. Maybe if we can hunt down and neutralize some of those fanclub opinions, we can resolve the issue easily. I'll wait and see if anyone else has comments on this, then I'll get started on this task myself. Thanks, Wildhearts fans! Doomsdayer520 (talk) 18:26, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  {{helpme]] ---- This article has had a neutrality question for six months, with nobody apparently discussing it except me. Today I made major revisions to this article and removed a significant amount of fan-style material that probably inspired the original neutrality question. Since I'm the only one discussing the article's neutrality, I would conclude that I fixed it today. Wiki Editors, please advise on how we can declare the issue "resolved" and remove the POV tag. Thanks! Doomsdayer520 (talk) 21:12, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

message: In the band projects side project there is this phrase "Devin Townsend is a successful recording artist, being in two main projects currently, The Devin Townsend Band, and Strapping Young Lad." - how is this related to the Wildhearts? I don't think he ever was part of the line-up, was he? Maybe there should be clarifications in what role DT has in the band career. Doesn't strike me as obvious from reading the article. --Mister Denial (talk) 15:24, 16 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Correction, he appears in the members section but not in the formations section for the appropriate year. Has he ever been a fully acknowledged band member, was he an interim, session guy, live help-out... what did he actually contribute to the band?--Skehrkrow (talk) 15:27, 16 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I can't figure this out either. Townsend appears in some biographies of the band that can be found online. I suspect that he is/was a friend of the band who helped out once or twice and maybe sat in on a few gigs as a guest. Other than that, it appears that his "membership" in the Wildhearts has been inflated over history into something more than it should be. --DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 15:41, 18 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: He filled in one summer on a tour between working with Steve Vai and starting is own solo work, so he was a touring musician. I'm not sure if he wrote the Urge B.Side 'Kill Me To Death', but he certainly appeared in the recording. citations will need to be googled, but there's plenty about.Yellowxander (talk) 15:43, 26 June 2013 (UTC)

message: The Wildhearts Wikipedia article started out many years ago as a big pile of fancruft that attracted the ire of serious editors, and for several years the gang has been weeding it out. Today I axed the "Cover versions" section for excessive fancruft and also because cover versions are discussed at the respective articles for the albums or singles involved. Note also that if some cover songs were attached to CD singles that used to have their own articles that were since deleted by the WP community, that means that the main track itself was deemed non-notable. Besides, the practice of cover songs is not unique in the biz anyway. Cheers, --DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 18:26, 17 August 2012 (UTC)

message: MarkOfTheRani and I recently had a minor disagreement about whether the December 2012 one-off show meant that the Wildhearts reformed, that the band should be listed as active again, and that the current members should be listed with "2012-present" is the timeline. It appears that the one-off December gig has now become a small tour, and whether this is just a reunion or a true reformation of the Wildhearts remains to be seen. Regardless, various editors have adjusted the timelines as if the band is currently "active" so we'll go with that until they go on hiatus again. --DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 22:42, 4 January 2013 (UTC)
