text: Also a side effect of the template that people might not be aware of but this page can be used to monitor all switchfoot related changes --T-rex 20:30, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

message: Where would it be appropriate to mention this song as it has yet to appear on any of their own cd's --T-rex 06:15, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Go for it.  If it is a Switchfoot song then I see no reason why not, even if not on a CD. Andrewduffell 09:39, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

text: The issue is more on where to put it.  Except for their radio singles no songs are mentioned in the main artical, but thats ok because every song is listed on the cd's.  However Evergreen has only been realesed on a compilation cd (by Tooth and Nail records I believe) and lacks an obvious spot to list it --T-rex 03:41, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Evergreen

message: I have moved this of the main page to here because it makes no sense to list every San Diago award, and barley mention the doves or grammys
*1997 -- ASCAP award for "Best New Artist" at the San Diego Music Awards
*2001 -- Jon Foreman awarded the "Les Paul Horizon Award" at the annual Orville H. Gibson Guitar Awards in Los Angeles
*2001 -- "Best Pop Artist" at the San Diego Music Awards
*2002 -- "Best Adult Alternative Artist" at the San Diego Music Awards
*2002 -- "Best Pop Artist" at the San Diego Music Awards
*2002 -- "Best Pop Album" at the San Diego Music Awards -- Learning to Breathe
*2003 -- "Best Pop Album" at the San Diego Music Awards -- The Beautiful Letdown
*2003 -- "Album of the Year" at the San Diego Music Awards -- The Beautiful Letdown
*2004 -- "Song of the Year" at the San Diego Music Awards -- Dare You To Move
Switchfoot also had a 2001 Grammy nomination for Learning to Breathe, 3 Dove Awards in 2004, 4 Dove Awards in 2005, and 5 Dove Award nominations in 2006, besides a slew of nominations for the San Diego Music Awards.
:You're right t-rex, the reason I didn't compute the Dove Award list is because I haven't yet been able to get a comprehensive list of the Dove awards. I've conclusively found what they won in 2004 and 2005, but not the previous years... so I didn't wanna include Dove Awards to the list until I had em all nailed down. I had my doubts too about the relevance of so many SanDiego music awards, but I put em on there anyway primarily to get started, to give you guys an idea of what an 'Awards' section could look like. As for the grammys, I've now found it was "Learning to Breathe" nominated under "Best Rock Gospel Album" category. So once I nail the Dove Award pre-2004 list, we can have the 'awards' section back on the main page? What if I don't, shall we list just the post-2004 awards (3 in 2004, 4 in 2005)? The Grammys might have to stay in the bottom-note, because its only a nomination. I think we should limit awards *won* to the awards list.. and relevant nominations can be mentioned in the note at the end of the list. -phil
::I don't know, it's kindof long.  Maybe just mention that they had like 8 doves 9 sandiago awards and a grammy nomination, and move the details to the album/single pages? I'm not saying that it doesn't blong here, but they've won alot, so I don't know --T-rex 17:22, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: An annon has added a list of all of Switchfoot's dove awards to the article (although omiting the one they got like last week), should we just added the above awards back in (and subsection them), or take everything out.  I'm for including them all, but would like some more opinions on the matter --T-rex 21:40, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Awards 

message: I have been moving this section up and out of the Influences section for a while. T-rex keeps moving it back down under it. However, the section doesn't talk about how Christian music influcced them. It talks about how they are considered part of the Christian rock and greater Contemporary Christian music industry. It should not be a sub-section of Influences. --Walter Görlitz 04:05, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Can you explain to me how this is not considered an influence?  (also note that this section has been a subsection of influences as long as it has been a section, and no, not by my edits either) --T-rex 04:25, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Switchfoot and Christian music section

message: Okay, I was thinking that the members section should be moved before band history, but then I saw that they're mentioned in the intro section and the infobox.  I don't think the section belongs toward the end of the article, and on second thought, is it even a necessary secion if it is mentioned two other times, for redundancy's sake?  If not, we just need to incorporate their instruments in the right place. —Akrabbim 15:01, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Well the section is usefull for the clear instrument refrences, but you're right it dosn't look right either.  The insturments arn't going to fit into the infobox without looking even worse, but if you can find a better way to work it in then by all means do it. --T-rex 16:12, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

message: One may want to add to this article the fact that this band has a song on this compilation cd. -EdGl 01:01, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks, we have disscused it above, but havn't found a good way to include it yet (although it appears as if it was relesed on the "Listen louder" cd first, so it would probably be mentioned there instead) --T-rex 01:52, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Okay. -EdGl 03:38, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  [[X Worship 2006]] 

message: I just wanted to let you all know that I have started a brief article outside of the main article namespace for switchfoot's upcomming album.  Meant to be unofficial, but to help us out later --T-rex 02:56, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Album 6

message: I've linked switchfoot's newer album to their pages in a sligtly different style, to avoid the need to scroll to the bottom to click to them, however I would like to get some feedback, as to if everyone else thinks that this approach is a good idea --T-rex 21:15, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Well no feed back, but as it's been almost 2 months now I gues you all like the layout --T-rex 07:20, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: New Album links

message: Is anyone against adding a link to the lyrics of Switchfoot's music?  I have a couple sources which I think are pretty much as close as we can get to the authentic source of their lyrics. (Jdingman 03:04, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: um, we already have a link for lyrics, see Lyrics and song stories --T-rex 03:19, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: oops, missed that, thanks rex! (Jdingman 03:24, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
