Talk:It Bites

message: Yeah, that whole last paragraph...may wanna take a look at that. Someoneinmyheadbutit'snotme 20:51, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I'd go further - the whole thing is subjective (q.v. "a clever mix of").  Unsupported, subjective statement, and frankly very badly written.  If I knew anything about the history of the group, and citations to call I'd rewrite the thing. Cain Mosni (forgot to sign, way back somewhen)
It's so far from neutral it's slightly ridiculous. Needs a complete re-write, possibly linked in with Dunnery and more of a biography.
It Bites never sounded anything like 'Genesis', but definately like 'Yes' - have you heard the material?
WHAT IS THAT BULLSHIT WITH '.. THAT WE KNOW AND LOVE TODAY' ?!!
Any article that starts like this: 
"The band's initial rise to fame was on the back of the unusual and catchy 1986 single "Calling All The Heroes", which gained them a Top 6 UK chart hit and an unwelcome reputation as a novelty act - something the band was to dispel via their instrumental virtuosity, their reputation as an excellent live act and a measure of sheer determination."

message: Has the reformation been verifiably reported?  I know it's on the cards, and on the wires underground, but has it been confirmed anywhere?  If not, it's not a suitable comment for the article.  Cain Mosni 20:48, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Ah - silly question.  yes, it has been reported on their own web site, and the insertion is a direct lift of text from said site.  Naughty, naughty - that's a copyright violation.  Cain Mosni 21:06, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

:Err, no.  Answers.com uses a snapshot of Wikipedia to provide its content.  Before making accusations of ignorance, it behoves you to make sure you are in possession of the facts. Instead of throwing useless barbs, why not try a little constructive contribution to improve matters?  Cain Mosni 18:30, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry, I don't mean to make an unconstructive contribution, but I just had to say, I find this comment totally funny. SteubenGlass (talk) 00:30, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
