message: The image that was being used was from google, and was almost certainly a breach of wikipedia image policy (though I am not familiar with said policy). An anonymous user fixed the issue - we should get a new (legal) picture. Erich Blume 08:17, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

message: In response to some concerns above I'll explain this more fully.  Unless Brian Reddyb accepts my offer soon I will act upon the compelling evidence, banning him from this site.  From that point onward any editor may revert his edits immediately even if those edits come from shared IP addresses.  No more good faith discussion is required, no examination of sourcing, etc.  It's a simple matter to watchlist pages and revert.  Moreover, from the moment of sitebanning onward, if reasonable suspicion exists that this user has evaded the ban then we can run checkuser whether or not he wants it and we'll checkuser all the suspected sockpuppets including Sanchezsteamer (a Google News search turned up nothing for this band in the last day, by the way).  Checkuser has been known to turn up additional unsuspected sockpuppets where those also exist.
So unless some surprising development happens in the next few hours, I'll probably downgrade the protection on this article to semiprotection.  If problems persist any editor can report them to this noticeboard and request additional userblocks and page protections.  Any editor would also be able to request follow-up checkuser reports as necessary.  If things drag on you can add a report at Wikipedia:Long term abuse.
Brian, if I'm mistaken please act quickly.  You can use the "my preferences" link at the upper right corner of your screen to enable your e-mail address as the official band e-mail.  Once you receive the verification e-mail from Wikipedia you can click the "e-mail this user" option at the left hand column of the page User:Durova and send me a message confirming your membership in the band and give your voluntary consent to undergo checkuser.  These actions should clear up any doubt. DurovaCharge! 17:08, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: To be fair, Brian Reddyb has earlier stated that "I rescinded all my rights to the brand after my departure"; thus, it is highly unlikely (even if he is genuine) that he would have access to the official band email. I am not doubting that this is a hoax, but I want to avoid running the risk of having him come up with a complaint of us being prejudiced against him in the future. Brian: stating your voluntary consent to undergo checkuser would be sufficient to show your good faith for the time being, so I encourage you to take up the challenge. Ayla 17:40, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

message: Brian Reddyb and registered sockpuppets are blocked indefinitely.  The static IP addresses haven't edited in a long time so I haven't imposed any specific blocks on them: semiprotection will prevent them from editing this page.  If problems continue, report to WP:ANI and file a class F checkuser request.  I've downgraded the page protection at this article to semiprotection.  Post new requests to WP:RFPP.  Best wishes all and thank you for your assistance.
FYI, sometime in the coming months I'd like to revive an old noticeboard that used to centralize complex investigations.  Please review Wikipedia:Requests for investigation and voice your support if you think it would have helped in this case.  Regards, DurovaCharge! 01:54, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Thank you for the kind words and the generous offer, but... don't bother with the monitoring. You're soon going to get blocked anyway. Ayla 13:16, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

message: :From their official Pop Band For Sale! website: "The original lead singer Mary Joe came back to the band in 2004 after a 6 years absence. She is the person running the everyday business of the band, including releases etc., as she has a power of attorney to do so until 2008." Still not sure whether she should be considered a "founder". Ayla (talk) 22:23, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The article doesn't use the word founder but says "Rednex was initially the brainchild of Swedish producers ...". Maybe "Mary Joe" was the first real musician but came after others got the idea for the band. The article says "The first female vocalist was Mary Joe". As you point out, the MySpace source appears to be written in-universe. I don't think the article and the sources directly contradict eachoter and I think we should keep what we have. I haven't seen a source which gives Mary Joe a "brainchild" role. And if she has power of attorney until 2008 then it implies somebody else gave it to her for a limited time period.

message: Page states "Their song Cotton Eye Joe is also featured on the Hampster Dance CD released April 2004." ... I'm wondering why thisone compilation would be mentioned out of the hundreds, possibly thousands of compilations that the song is in (I personally own twenty or more compilations that hold the song).

The game is sort of a Myst clone. The protagonist visits Brunkeflo and has to round up the band members by playing mini games and solving puzzles, to eventually escape Brunkeflo to the big city. One can also see a few of their music videos in the game. 130.238.15.192 (talk) 09:11, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Their CD-ROM game "In b(r)ed with Rednex" is not mentioned! 

message: According to their site, under Band Members (http://www.rednexmusic.com/band-members):
"The performers that are currently in the Rednex group include Dakotah, Abby Hick, Misty Mae, Dagger, Ace Ratclaw, Joe Cagg, Boneduster Crock, Rufus Jones, Spades, Mup, Billy Ray, Bobby Sue. Pictures below." 
... Billy Ray, Bobby Sue, and Mup are 3 of the original band members who - with Mary Joe and Ken Tacky comprised the first Rednex band... question is, are these three the originals, or are they just recycling names?  Anyone else got any info? I know Pat Reinez, who played Mup in the original lineup, now owns the trademark, but does he do anything in Rednex (though if not, why list his character of Mup as back in Rednex?) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Travelsonic (talk • contribs) 06:46, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
