Talk:Maybe You've Been Brainwashed Too

message: This article no longer complies with the Good Article criteria, more specifically, the part of the criteria dealing with Neutrality. When it was passed back in February it seems, I don't think we even had criteria.....but the point is, we do now, and look at your section on songs. It is compleatly filled with unsourced quality judgements, a theme i've noticed in almost every single article related to musicians or bands, and I don't know if people just want to be music critics or what, but if you must be a music critic here, you should know that is not a Neutral point of view in terms of Wikipedia's policies.

message: :Image:New-radicals Mother.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

message: I've reworded the "critical reception" section for neutrality, but here's the old version, if anyone feels there are salvageable parts of it. - Anotheronewiki (talk) 12:20, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Critical reception section 

message: The following information, while interesting, is unsourced on the page:
The drums on the album's title track were sampled from the XTC song 'All of a Sudden' (from their "English Settlement" album). According to XTC's songwriter Andy Partridge, "the sample was used without permission" and the band and its record company eventually received £70,000 in compensation for its use.
As there is no source listed, and I am unable to find a source anywhere that lists this information, I have removed it from the article. If anyone can find a source with this information, please put the information back into the article. Anotheronewiki (talk) 12:19, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Unsourced Info 

message: "In a rush for some "filler" to shim out the single: The drums on the The New Radicals Debut album's Maybe You've Been Brainwashed Too title track were sampled from the XTC song 'All of a Sudden' (from their English Settlement album). According to XTC's songwriter Andy Partridge, "the sample was used without permission" (read: plaugerised) and the band and its record company eventually received £70,000 (K-Smacked) in compensation for its use." It is unsourced, misspelled and biased; if a source were mentioned, then some of the info would be helpful, but no sources are cited.Anotheronewiki (talk) 00:59, 17 December 2016 (UTC)

message: The lead section does need some work. What should be added? I'll try to add some info on critical reception and the recording of the album.Anotheronewiki (talk) 00:23, 4 January 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Lead Section 

message: I just removed some more info from this page that I was unable to verify. Here it is, if someone can find a source for it and add it back into the article.
Note
*The Japanese release of the album is listed as ブレインウォッシュ (Romaji: Bureinwosshu, or "Brainwash") on its spine.

thread_title:  Unsourced info 

message: I noticed that a wikipedian removed all mentions of "Someday We'll Know" as a single. I would like to discuss whether it was the proper thing to do. True, the group disbanded before the song was officially released, but it was still a single, and it still had a music video and charted in several countries. Further, multiple sources (including Discogs and Consequence of Sound) include info that supports its being called a single. Therefore, I think it would be best top still refer to the song as a single, since it was released and it did chart. Thoughts? -Anotheronewiki (talk) 21:26, 3 March 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: For now, as a compromise, I added back in the info about "Someday We'll Know" but refrained from calling it a single, instead calling it a song and noting the group's separation before the song's release. Before anyone removes it again, I think it would be good if we could please have a discussion regarding its removal. I also added more citations, so if you plan to remove it again, please provide some rationale, or better yet, find citations that support its removal. -Anotheronewiki (talk) 21:32, 3 March 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Singles 

message: I've removed the "B-Sides and Outtakes" section from the article, for two reasons:
1. Basically all the citations in the section were from Discogs, which is user-generated and not reliable, per WP:ALBUMAVOID.
2. Since none of the songs mentioned in the article actually appear on the album, it doesn't seem like they should be mentioned on the page about the album.
If anyone has any suggestions for how to improve the section so we can put it back into the article, be my guest. However, I feel that, in its present state, the section doesn't really belong in the article. Thoughts? -Anotheronewiki (talk) 12:30, 4 April 2017 (UTC)
