thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Editors-logo.png

message: Melvo, the dates must be in the appropriate wiki format, be it "mmmm d, yyyy" or "d mmmm yyyy".  The article as it stood had a mix of these formats, which is not allowed per our MOS, and poorly formed versions that omitted some of the links.  The use of the second style shown above is preferred here because it is an article about a band from Britain.  violet/riga (t) 16:42, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

message: "Editors are currently being lauded as the second biggest British band of the decade after Arctic Monkeys."
See, this is where the "WP: ANYTHING PUBLISHED BY ANYTHING BIGGER THAN SOME DUDE'S BLOG CAN BE CITED AS FACT" policy falls down.  There is no way in hell Editors are "the second biggest British band of the decade" behind anyone, let alone Arctic Monkeys (who I like, but I think Radiohead might have something to say about it, let alone The Libertines or the rubbish but massively selling Snow Patrol).  Because it's been published by ONE journo in ONE publication (and i'm going about this without even mentioning the rampant corruption in the British mainstream music press, especially the newspaper music pr...oh wait, oops) it warrants merit in the introduction.  That is utterly and completely preposterous.  Jamieli (talk) 22:51, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: You're right its a bit OTT. I'll make it more specific in mentioning the Mail on Sunday so it won't be quite as 'preposterous' for your average reader.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mulacho (talk • contribs) 23:51, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  The second biggest British band of the decade 

message: The constant reverting between "British" and "English" to describe the band's nationality is getting quite ridiculous. I have started a section here in the misguided hope that it can be discussed properly, but I guess there's no need to discuss when you can simply revert back and forth, ad infinitum. No need to discuss, ignore all rules etc. The only edit I made was to make a "neutral" version with the nationality removed completely, but it didn't survive long so I gave up. I requested page protection, which was denied, and the edit war continues. The IP editor's edits are certainly disruptive, but as far as I can see no clear consensus has built against him/her, otherwise they would be receiving blocks by now for vandalism. Hence I think discussion is required. But I'll just talk to myself here for a while, you guys carry on reverting. --Jameboy (talk) 16:44, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

message: What on earth does "This new sound was created by adding more textured layers to the songs as well as incorporating new forms of music into them" mean? Could this not be replaced by a sentence that actually describes the new sound, or explains more clearly how it was achieved?

message: shouldn't more influences such as depeche mode, flock of seagulls, and other 80's influences be added to their musical style section of the article? because they have similar sound and inspirations as those artists.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Daveg17mgtfie (talk • contribs) 07:05, 10 May 2011 (UTC)
