Talk:Mansun

message: "Often derided as clingers-on to the tail end of Britpop, Mansun are considered by a loyal fanbase to be one of the finest rock bands of the 1990s."
Any 'loyal fanbase' is going to regard the object of its affection to be great.  This paragraph is POV, so I am going to remove it. Beerathon 00:14, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, but the article is now too anodyne - it does not give casual readers any idea why the band were so great. -- Beardo 19:15, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

message: On most of this band's album pages, they are described as being a "rock" band, but the word "rock" is wikilinked to "rock and roll". I don't think, by any stretch of the imagination, they have all that much in common with Bill Haley or Elvis Presley, so I've reset the wikilinks to "rock music" Dom Kaos (talk) 13:50, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

message: An image used in this article, , has been nominated for speedy deletion at Wikimedia Commons for the following reason: Copyright violations 
;What should I do?
Don't panic; deletions can take a little longer at Commons than they do on Wikipedia. This gives you an opportunity to contest the deletion (although please review Commons guidelines before doing so). The best way to contest this form of deletion is by posting on the image talk page.
* If the image is non-free then you may need to upload it to Wikipedia (Commons does not allow fair use)
* If the image isn't freely licensed and there is no fair use rationale then it cannot be uploaded or used.
* If the image has already been deleted you may want to try Commons Undeletion Request

replies: text: I am afraid that I don't really follow the detailed rules regarding referencing. I think that change created a conflict as there was already a reference called archive1. I have renamed both as different things to remove the conflict - I don't know if there is a rule on naming references. -- Beardo (talk) 23:26, 14 May 2016 (UTC)

message: Take It Easy Chicken now redirects to this page. That leads to various unneeded links, and redirects back to this page. Before I tidy those up, I would like to suggest restoring the single's own page - I think there was enough there to warrant that, and I cannot see any discussion when the redirect was done. -- Beardo (talk) 05:32, 14 May 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: It did chart (just) - the article was quite substantial. I will restore it. -- Beardo (talk) 04:09, 16 May 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: It lacks substantial references to indicate notability. And the title is confusing. Is the article about the EP or the song? Check WP:SONG for notability guidelines.   was right to implement the redirect last year. Karst (talk) 07:15, 16 May 2016 (UTC)
