Talk:Coil (band)

message: i'm going to move the coil discog stuff into its own article, stuff can still be added, like a more comprehensive list of compilations they appeared on and stuff they remixed. AlexOvShaolin 02:46, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Seems like a good idea, Coil's catalog is big enough that it'd distract from the rest of the article as a whole. Twiin 10:54, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  lyrics link 

message: While the death of John Balance takes a (rightfully) large portion of the Coil entry, I'm a little puzzled about the posting of a picture of Balance in his his coffin at his funeral.  It doesn't seem appropriate, as most celebrity or band pages don't feature a picture of dead people.  It doesn't seem necessary, as I don't think anyone is contesting whether or not he is dead.  It doesn't seem useful, as it doesn't illustrate any particular point in the article, as other photos do.  It just seems gratuitous and tasteless.  I'll leave this to experienced editors to hash out.76.226.146.199 06:00, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: This picture was made widely available by Christopherson after the funeral.  If he doesn't have a problem with it, then I don't see why anyone else should.  In addition, I think the non-standard nature of the picture (and the burial itself) have resonances with Balance's pagan beliefs which make it an important image in relation to the man's death.  --Richardrj talk email 08:29, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: How does whether or not he, his bandmates, or his family has a problem with it affect either its gratuitousness and its irrelevance?  There's nothing in the article about the "non-standard nature" of his funeral.  There's just a picture of his corpse in his casket.  Any such material, along with the picture, might be a lot more in context on his actual bio page.  But again, this is a page about the band Coil.  To move the photo to the John Balance page would improve both the Coil page and the John Balance page.  If this were about adding material to the page, I'd just do it, but I'm not eager to remove material without either having a real WP account or having more than a toe in the community.

thread_title:  death of john balance 

message: Would it be at all possible for somebody to replace the photo of the last line-up of the group that used to sit at the top of the article? Surely that image would prove very useful for anyone who wants to know what the COIL members look(ed) like?
What is with this unruly mania for people just removing photos from articles all over the shop? How then is anybody supposed to know what the people featured look like?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.31.180.100 (talk) 15:32, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: the removal is done by admins who apparently feel that it is possible to somehow dig up a CC/GPL pic of all the band members. imma add another pic up with a good Fair use rationale, but i wont be surprised if it gets taken down. --AlexOvShaolin 19:47, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Missing band image 

message: Could Coil be considered an avant-garde band? I mean, there are bands such as Einstürzende Neubauten which (in my opinion) produce similar music to Coil. I could be wrong, but I'd like to hear some opinions. --Wiz-Pro3 (talk) 20:13, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Avant-garde? 

message: Most editors wouldn't object to the use of one or maybe two non-free items to illustrate this article, say a picture and a sound clip. But there are eight non-free pictures and three non-free sound clips. That's excessive by any measure. I'd suggest choosing one or two or maybe even three pieces to keep and getting the rest deleted. The most likely alternative is that they'll start getting deleted at random. Angus McLellan  (Talk) 19:56, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Excessive use of non-free content.

thread_title:  Picture 

message: I'm moving this content here, about a different band with the same name, that was added to the top of this article.  It belongs in an article of its own, if the band meets notability requirements (Wikipedia:Notability_(music)#Criteria_for_musicians_and_ensembles).  Thanks much 
:The first band called Coil was formed in late 1978 in Northampton and is playing and recording today. The band played venues in and around the town and then regularly in London Rock Garden Covent Garden, and Music Machine, Camden) and in Brighton (The Dome). Coil released a double A single ‘ Motor Industry/Alcoholstaark’ on Wood Hill records in 1979. Coil played with Bauhaus as they emerged from Art school in 1979 and played several John Peel road shows with bands like Bauhaus and Crass at The Paddocks, Harpole. Peel had a history of running gigs around pubs in Northampton that went back to the 60s (e.g. Nag’s Head Wollaston). In 1980 Tom Robinson placed Coil’s single in the top ten of all time greats in Smash Hits magazine in 1980 and then reviewed the track again in October 2010. Coil produced a soundtrack for a film Nessuno Piace un Cervellone in 1986. Phil Dann started Meltdown records in 1991, produced and recorded DJ Dougal, Clarkee, DJ Phantasy and Carl Cox on the Dreamscape productions and wrote and produced Denise Gordon’s "Wait for your love/Friends" - single of the month in June 1992 Blues and Soul and front page news on Echoes in 1992e Coil’s first album, How do I love thee? Is scheduled for release on Meltdown in June 2011.

thread_title:  Different band named Coil 

message: I have revisited this page repeatedly because fans of Coil, Christopherson and Balance are avidly editing the page so that it becomes a memorial to the deceased members. I do not deny that this is a worthwhile cause for those who continue to mourn their deaths and immerse themselves in everything Coil-related; however, the incorrect platform has been selected. From a cursory search, Coil fans have innumerable opportunities to declare their devotion to the project of a former advertising contractor, who provided the music to numerous advertisements, even though many fans insist that they are hardened anarchist-types. Anyhow, I have nothing against the band, and in fact own some recordings, but the integrity of Wikipedia is my priority here. If the other online opportunities around the web are not sufficient, may I recommend fan-club gatherings that would please both members, as they would not negatively impact on others? That is, Coil fans would be adopting a respectful mindset when expressing their fandom. Thanks. Regards,--Soulparadox (talk) 15:39, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
