Talk:Scissor Sisters

message: They're currently listed as rock, pop and alternative, which seems a bit vague. I think glam rock will suffice, so I'm deleting the others.

message: It's a wonder why there's no mention of 'Remixed!', there remix album.
It's a bit difficult to find but some good record stores might have it.

P.S. What's Crystal Meth abuse?

thread_title:  Remixed! 

message: I'm pretty certain that it's fair to say that most Pink Floyd fans are not appreciative of the Scissor Sister's violent attack on Comfortably Numb.  It's not attacking them to admit this - it happens to be true.  Many PF fans are/were irritated.
: Violent attack on Pink Floyd? I love Pink Floyd to death, but perhaps you should be concerning yourself more with Eric Prydz's remix of Another Brick in the Wall Part II, Proper Education. Now he must die. But Pink Floyd have said themselves that they like the Scissor Sisters' cover. How ironic that they are amongst the few who don't find it horribly offensive.

message: I'm from the UK and love reading UK-based articles. However, this does seem a bit British for an American group, no?
:It's probably because they've been a bigger hit in the UK (and to some extent Australia) than they have been in the US itself.  --Robert Merkel 11:57, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

message: As this is an encyclopedia and not a collection of fan sites, the purpose of external links is to provide further information for the reader of the article, which is not the case when it comes to message boards or fan sites that have not been updated in months. Therefore, I removed the following three links (again):
*The Party Bus
*StudioSpooky
*The Ana Matronic Appreciation Society
Just that someone might think these are *notable* doesn't mean they're relevant. Although it's a fansite, I did not remove wass.tk from the link list because it seemed to me that this one actually does provide some further information, but the ones above do not. If one of these is even linked from the official site (which is included here), what's the matter?
And as for StudioSpooky, which "is site of album artist" (according to the edit summary): if the uninformed reader using wp as a source of information about Scissor Sisters really needs to know something about it, it should be mentioned in the article (incl. a link to the respective wp article, if it derserves one). --a.bit 11:22, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Gay Icons 

message: I have just found that the information for this band member, which formed several paragraphs, has been deleted and the page turned into a redirect to this one. Why was this done, when was this done, and why was none of the deleted material merged into this page?
Not sure why that happened, but if there was a lot of info about any one member or something not specific to the band, someone may have edited it out. This should be an article about just the band. More detailed individual biographical information about each member can go in their own articles. I see there is an article for Del Marquis out there. Thanks! NickBurns 19:34, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

message: "Mary, the inspiration for the Scissor Sisters song "Mary", died of a brain aneurysm in mid April, 2006. The band was said to be incredibly distraught."
This seems to have been indiscriminately tagged to the bottom of the page. There is no citation or context to the statement.
* I would assume it was placed at bottom as it is a recent event, and as for citation, the fan community found out via a Popbitch mailout which was confirmed by the Official Site admin at this link >  http://www.scissorsisters.com/board/viewtopic.php?t=12287
** Furthermore, here is a link to Jake speaking of this event, among other things. http://www.scissorsisters.com/board/viewtopic.php?t=12433&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0
Well any mention of it seems to be deleted now. I didn't think it was irrelevant, I just thought it didn't seem to sit well where it was. (Macca7174) 
Macca7174: There is a reference to it. It is under "Content of music", at the end of paragraph one. The reference is there, along with the link (shown as [2]) to the posting on the message board that's listed above. I just put the link there so it was properly cited.

message: Looks like the website of "video hits" (a music film clip show on the Australian commercial television station "TEN") likes to use your text without referencing. http://www.videohits.com.au/artist.php?artist_id=8237
Very unfortunate as the article is highly inaccurate! Besides being highly inaccurate the very source it references states Scissor Sisters NEVER reached Tob Album Sales in 2004 not even close, they were actually 18th and the album was number one for only one week.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.17.204.1 (talk) 19:38, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

message: I am curious as to why the link from the discography links to a page on the Pink Floyd version of the track Comfortably Numb - this seems out of place, as that is not the single released by this band, even if the one was a cover of the other.  Surely the SS's version of the single should be the page linked to?  And if one doesn't exist, someone with the single could possibly start an article off so that we can encourage other people to add to it.  John Coxon 22:39, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Link to Pink Floyd Version of Comfortably Numb 

message: The group is named after a sex position between two women. Is there actually any proof of this? I can't find any evidence that "scissor sisters" existed as a sexual term before the band was formed, so it's possible the band just created the term themselves. 172.161.214.87 16:57, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  [[List of songs recorded by Scissor Sisters]] 

message: This is a band that did well in the UK, indeed better than in the US.  Yet the US spelling "meager" is used.  What is Wikipedia's policy regarding that?  In effect, it's incorrect in the territory (the UK) from which I am viewing.  It's a minor thing, and it doesn't detract from the meaning, but it does rather clash with me, so I'm changing it to "meager/meagre" to reflect both territories accurately and avoid the use of "meager" [sic] arousing my angst!
