replies: text: I don't think changing "Jonsi is gay" to "Jonsi is a homosexual" improves the introduction.  Please see MOS#Identity for why this is deprecated.  Also, check the Sigur Ros FAQ, cited frequently throughout the article.    X3210 01:50, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Opening heading 

message: Folks, can we please all take a step back from the above dispute and calm down? There's no need to get emotionally upset over edits on Wikipedia, and that's doubly true for things such as this.
I mean, come on. I've just noticed this dispute on my watchlist, and expected something about whether the article can state that Jónsi's gay or not (I can see why that would be controversial), and what is it actually about? Whether it's OK to say he's "openly gay" or whether it must be just "gay". Come on, give me a BREAK. Surely you can't be serious. -- Schneelocke 12:43, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think Schneelocke is right here.  I can't see it as a big deal either way if the word openly is there or not.  The fact is that he is openly gay, and it can be sourced.  I don't think the word is intrusive, but don't think it's a huge loss if we don't have it either.  Basically... ho hum.  Aleta 20:21, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I have to agree. As a huge fan of the man's work, I couldn't give a figs what his sexuality is, and I see no place for such an intense focus on it in this article. I'd remove the mention entirely 77.224.22.177 (talk) 22:14, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cool down! 

message: While we're all here, does anyone know how to pronounce his name?  Maybe add IPA to the article?  Many thanks! -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 23:45, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Sure, I just added IPA and an audio file. Haukur 00:37, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Pronunciation? 

message: I think it is inappropriately informal to refer to him by his nickname.  Haukur, would you please explain why you changed it back to the less formal name?  In your edit summary you made a distinction I don't understand - between patronymic and familiy name, saying he doesn't have the latter.  ??? Aleta 00:52, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Birgisson is a patronymic. It means that his father's first name is Birgir. Icelanders never refer to each other by patronymics and this convention has been (mostly) taken up on Wikipedia. See also Icelandic name. But even failing that I think using the nickname/stage name of a musician is often the right thing to do - as with Cher. Haukur 01:01, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: OK, I stand corrected.  Thanks for the information, esp. the link to Icelandic names.  I've learned something! :) Aleta 01:09, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: You're welcome :) I should add this isn't a uniquely Icelandic thing - articles like Mengistu Haile Mariam, Megawati Sukarnoputri and Saddam Hussein also refer to their subjects by their names rather than their patronymics. Haukur 01:10, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Names

message: Are Sigurd Ros in an indefinite hiatus or a non-indefinite hiatus? Both appear in the text.--Mycomp (talk) 07:48, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Indefinite simply means "vague, undefined" so an non-indefinite hiatus would be one with a specific end date, which we don't have. I've changed non-indefinite to indefinite. --JD554 (talk) 08:17, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
