Talk:Elbow (band)

message: Re: the quote: "In 2004, Elbow went on an unofficial tour of Cuba": theis needs clariifcaiton to explain what an unoffical tour is. Surely you are either on tour or not? Other bands don't attempt to get some kind of 'offical' status when they tour.
it was not a promotional tour sanctioned by their record label.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.146.148.240 (talk) 15:21, 22 September 2011 (UTC)

message: John Cale has expressed a liking for Elbow, but can you say Velvet Underground has? --80.41.172.180 14:38, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm intrigued by this "greatest song of all time" quote - where is the source? And where can I find the song 'Switching Off': it isn't listed in the discography?--GeneralJumbo 17:59, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: "Switching Off" is from the Cast of Thousands album; you can find the video on YouTube.  I'm not sure where one would find the quote from Cale, however, as the article's not explicit about where it came from. María (críticame) 18:21, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

message: It is not mentioned in the article, but Elbow has also recorded a cover version of Massive Attack's 'Teardrop'. "The British band Elbow did a live cover of the song for the BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge, and a recorded version is also featured as a track on their CD single for "Not A Job" (released 23 February 2004)."

replies: text: Anyone can edit Wikipedia, so why not have a go? Just one point: we don't use Wikipedia as a source, but you could use, for example, this source instead. Don't forget to put the source between  and  tags at the end of the sentence. Cheers -- Timberframe (talk) 19:01, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  They've also done a cover of "1 Thing" by Amerie but I don't know when it was recorded or anything. If anyone has information about that, it might as well be added to that covers section. ---Ally (talk) 16:47, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cover versions 

message: Does this article really need this interminable list of live appearances? Apart from the fact that an awful lot of this section is full of unsupported/unsupportable statements ("were widely regarded as one of the absolute top-acts of the four-day-festival", "left the audience stunned"), it's not really adding anything to the biographical story and is lengthening the article unnecessarily. I'd vote for it to be substantially shortened, at the very least.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.86.245.6 (talk) 13:15, 20 December 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree that the tone of the article is not appropriate and have inserted a corresponding template. I will address this over time.--Soulparadox (talk) 10:27, 25 September 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Live appearances 

message: I have fixed the recent spate of vandalism (I think), but will keep an eye on it over time. A copyeditor with a sense of humor has converted some statements so that their meaning indicates the opposite of that which is intended.--Soulparadox (talk) 10:25, 25 September 2013 (UTC)

message: Removed the Unreferenced section template from the 1997–2001: Formation and first EPs section as I've added citations and done some cleanup/corrections. There's still a lot of copyediting to be done on the subsequent History sections. --Spiegalr (talk) 22:04, 18 May 2014 (UTC)
