message: Annie Lennox was hardly "unknown" in 1983. The Eurythmics released their first album in 1981 accompanied by three singles. 67.188.226.210 23:43, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Various

message: I am pretty certain "Love Missile F1-11" only got to number 3 in the UK charts so I have changed this.
sputnik means companion in Russian as in travelling companion, just as a satellite can be seen as a travelling companion of another (planetary) body, satellite is a more specific sense of this word. Perhaps online translation software is not the best source, might I suggest a Russian-English dictionary. Mrscruffy 19:44, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Love Missile UK Chart Position 

message: Album listing needs references. E.g.  shows different facta than this article about 1990s release. --Tbonefin 13:26, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Sigue Sigue Sputnik (electronic) 

message: This article, which is virtually without a single reference, is full of opinionated, unsourced fancruft and froth.  Seemingly this has been the case for some considerable time. Therefore I have added the {POV} tag. Further editing should first resolve the lack of verifiabilty, before treating the reader to more codswallop and hype. I have made several edits but, on reflection, think it needs a radical rewrite.  And yes, that is my opinion - other editors are, of course, welcome to add their thoughts.

replies: text: I agree. It's largely crap and desperately needs sourcing, and the latest Zarjaz-spamming additions don't help at all.--Michig (talk) 13:47, 25 September 2010 (UTC)

thread_title: POV

message: I've just read through above section ("Deleting sourced information that is important to the true origins of this group") and was curious why even the little information, one sentence, that was agreed on after an extensive dispute hasn't survived since then.
Former Tronics member Zarjaz has also been identified as an influence. (Source: "The 80s Fight Back", Record Collector, July 1988, Issue 227, p. 6)
Digging through the edit history shows it was removed about a year later by an anon IP (like me) over three consecutive edits (1, 2, 3) without any reason given. I'm restoring the information. Please help watch so it isn't (accidentally, I'm sure) lost again.
