Talk:2 Unlimited

message: 2 Unlimited were not a Belgian / Dutch band. They were a Dutch band consisting of Anita Dels and Ray Slijngaard until the producers, who owned the name 2 Unlimited, recruited Romy and Marjon to take over. Jean-Paul and Phil were no more members of the band than Pete Waterman is a member of Steps. Triangle e 18:02, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Country of Origin

message: Depending on articles, the band is presented as a Dutch or Belgian band. It should be clear for readers and contributors. 
I think it can be quite simple, based on facts: 
1. producers are from Belgium and singers from the Netherlands. Producers changed the name of the band when they recruited singers.
2. most songs are credited to (written by) De Coster (BE), Wilde (BE), Doth (NL) and Slijngaard (NL). (see Discogs)
Based on this, it's obvious it's both Belgian and Dutch.
BUT
producers Wilde and De Coster own the brand 2 Unlimited. Consequence of this: producers decided to hire other singers than Doth and Stijngaard in 1997-1998 and Doth and Stijngaard cannot use the name 2 Unlimited for their own projects (see article Ray and Anita). So strictly speaking, it's a Belgian band.
What do you think?

thread_title:  It should be decided whether it's a Belgian or Dutch band or both 

message: The article states that the 1st album "Get Ready!" has sold 2.6 million units, and the 2nd album "No Limits" has sold 3 million units. It is simply not logicial for the 3rd album "Real Things" and the their best of "Hits Unlimited" to have sold 12+ million units alltogether. I would not rely on a source of reference coming from 'Artist Direct as it isn't anything official. And as far the units of singles go they need to be stated separately as we all know singles are put out there to push the sales of albums. Harout72
:I assume that the 18 million figure also includes the 16 singles. And early 90s dance acts do not use singles to push album sales. Most early 90s dance acts didn't even release albums. That's a late 90s - 00s pop / rock view on the single. Triangle e 10:23, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: "No Limit" (the single) alone sold 2.5 million copies so it sounds like a plausible figure. AcerBen 21:31, 8 August 2007 (BST)
2 Unlimited (Ray&Anita)sold to date 70 Million Albums,Singles and Digital Downloads!
Don´t forget the fact in the 90s you have to buy a CD!

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:No Limit file.ogg

message: Let's get this straight...
2 Unlimited is supposed to have initialised hardcore (techno)?
All the harder forms of electronic dancemusic mentioned developed
way earlier than 1992.
Got me a video at home (VHS) dating from 1991 showing large crowds 
bouncing to 180 bpm+
Ah well... check Wiki on 'gabber', and you'll find out...
In this case I'd say L.A. Style's 'James Brown Is Dead' has been of 
much more influence on the hardcore/gabberscene
Besides: The claim that 'with out them the music scene would be very 
different indeed' is ofcourse completely POV...  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.159.97.4 (talk) 13:36, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

message: Hi , you recently undid my edit, itself a revert of your previous edit. This constitutes edit warring and is not appropriate. Additionally, your explanation of the revert is inadequate. You can't simply state that the sources are unreliable, as if doing so makes it a fact. As you may or may not be aware (if you took the time to read through the talk page comments and peruse the article's recent history), this has been a contentious issue, and simply pitching up and undoing other editors' work, especially when they already went through a similar process, trying to reach a consensus, is not only impertinent, but disrespectful. Please explain your reasoning for the revert in a clear manner, and do not edit war. Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 00:28, 18 February 2022 (UTC)
