Lineup[edit]

Do we really need every last person who ever shared the same stage as the rest of the band listed as if they were really members of the band? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.204.87.71 (talk) 06:43, 20 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I finally got tired of that trainwreck of a section and changed it to match what most other band articles to look like. If someone can make it more accurate then cool. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kaiserwil (talk • contribs) 05:46, 28 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The members of Still Life played an important role in the sound of 10,000 Maniacs, Guitarist John Lombardo gives them credit on the CD Booklet of the compilation, Campfire Songs. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.43.173.179 (talk) 10:58, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Abrv's??[edit]

This article has a lot of "n'"'s in place of "and"'s and "'85"'s instead of "1985"'s. I fixed some of them but there's a lot of them and they're quite annoying.--Butterboy 03:44, 13 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

More abbreviations[edit]

The abbreviations were mainly fixed, but they've just been readded - but a lot of extra content was also added, so I didn't want to revert.

I've tagged this page for cleanup // Nick || Talk || 03:08, 20 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  is the above really necessary?  Maybe we can include their favorite food?    — Preceding unsigned comment added by 8.225.200.133 (talk) 20:41, 16 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Natalie Merchant in 10,000 Maniacs?[edit]

I heard a song and I was told it was a 10,000 Maniacs song. However Natalie Merchant sang it. I thought she was the main singer but according to the article she's not in the band. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Blester44 (talk • contribs) 21:55, 15 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Natalie Merchant was the lead singer of the group from 1981–1993. On the current revision, she's correctly listed in the Former members section of the infobox and the Band members section of the article. davewho2 07:41, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
