Re: Guided by Voices
NPOV mess, repeated target for vandalism, is this an encyclopedic article?  RickK 21:07, Jul 6, 2004 (UTC)
*Keep. Perfectly encyclopedic and largely factual/neutral (which obviously wasn't the case a week or two ago). What is there to object to in this article? --rbrwrˆ 21:31, 6 Jul 2004 (UTC)

replies: text: The band's name appears as Guided By Voices on Do the Collapse, the only album where the name isn't in either all capital or all lowercase letters. QuentinJamstar 01:45, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: How the name is capitalized on album covers is mostly irrelevant. Wikipedia policy is to normalize capitalization of band names. See WP:NC#Album titles and band names. --PEJL 09:41, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

message: I think we need a new photo of the band, as Bob is barely featured in it, and Bob has been the only constant GBV member - ZEROpumpkins 08:13, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, it's really strange to have the GBV picture not featuring Bob. QuentinJamstar (talk) 03:22, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Any new photo is fine, as long as it's free license. I recommend looking through Flickr. --Brandt Luke Zorn (talk) 03:29, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

message: All references to the band begin in the year 1983 but the timeline currently begins in 1975 and the first members beyond Pollard join in about 1978. Not sure what's up with it but I don't know enough about the band to attempt to correct it.
TheoGB (talk) 04:48, 6 June 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: So the band's first recording is Little Jimmy The Giant heard on Suitcase: Failed Experiments And Trashed Aircraft and it was recorded in 1975. There has been different variations of the band named many different names until 1986. Freefalling660 (talk) 00:15, 7 June 2019 (UTC)

text: This should be made clear then. Right now it's an apparent contradiction, as TheoGB indicates. I started listening to the band in the early 90s and don't know enough about the very early days to write it up accurately. 2604:2000:EFC0:2:4DF6:6328:1154:9482 (talk) 18:03, 4 November 2019 (UTC)

text: Follow up: This seems in part to actually be based on the GBV Family Tree prepared by a graphic designer for Jim Greer's book, but this is a wholly unreliable source. Here are just a few glaring problems with the family tree: it includes Steve Wilbur as a band member; Ed Jon is misidentified as Ed Dwyer; Bruce Smith is credited on bass for Anacrusis when he actually played drums; the Needmores are listed as a 1987 side project, when we know through live recordings and other testimony that the Needmores date to 1984 and possibly 1985 with a different lineup; Tobin Sprout's band fig. 4 is marked as ending in 1985 but they were active when they released their lone LP in 1987 as part of the Gotham City Music Collective along with GBV and the New Creatures; Coyote Call is given as a 1982 band but their unreleased album, Pissing in the Canal, was recorded in 1984. (They probably just confused Coyote Call with the Crowd.) Dionusios (talk) 23:47, 15 October 2022 (UTC)
