thread_title: Redirect

message: I think there should be a section about the cover art, or at least the name of the model, since this cover has become iconic.  Unfortunatly I don't know any of this information but rather was actually looking for it.

message: "Surrender" was never released as a single in any way shape or form.  I would like to know where you actually got this so-called Billboard information. AOR radio may have had it chart on playlists, but as a single, it never  happpened—Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.3.189.244 (talk) 04:48, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Hmmm... I'm not sure where this information came from, but I'll look for some sources.  It's possible that it was released in only a small demographic in a similar manner to "40", but I can't remember seeing it mentioned as a single anywhere before.  What may have happened is that, since it apparently charted, somebody may have added it to that location because they were simply unsure where else to put it. I'll do a quick edit now.

replies: text: Well, I've done some searches, but the Billboard records I found only went back to 1984. I'll keep looking, and if anybody else finds anything just drop a line here. MelicansMatkin (talk) 23:34, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Surrender has never been released as a single 

message: Several months ago, I began to add information about each song to the article in a similar way to the information on Stay (Faraway, So Close!).  Later, somebody moved some of the information around.  It's only an aesthetic detail, but I'm curious as to where you all think the information is best placed; under Tracklisting, which is where it was previously, or under History, which is where it is currently.

replies: text: That's actually a copy of the original BBC interview. I've stuck in the bit about the Coconuts being backing vocalists; I didn't realise it was the Coconuts, of Kid Creole fame. It's a terrible shame that they never went on tour together. -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 19:05, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Info 

message: The section than is focused on the War Tour makes it sound as though all Bono did was wave white flags. This is surely a misconception and it makes it sounds as if there was tension in the band about that. I think this should be clarified. Maybe it would look better if it said "The waving of a white flag has become iconic not only with the song "Sunday Bloody Sunday", but also with the War Tour, which spawned both the hit and the video". 
Thanks. I would change it but I don't know enough about the editing procedures to do it properly.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Beanna (talk • contribs) 21:38, 25 December 2010 (UTC)
