Why the banners on this article? Please can the specific concerns be listed here so they may be addressed? The article has patently been improved since I first submitted it and I'm happy to further update it, but need guidance as to where to focus any changes. Otherwise, I'm inclined to remove the banners. Thanks. Furrypop (talk) 13:57, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

As of December 2008, another banner has been added, but no specific concerns noted on this talk page. Adding a banner without commentary does not add value, IMO. Furrypop (talk) 08:54, 13 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think the first sentence of the Biography section says it all: "Now a spent force...". It is phrases like this that made me place the {{tone}} template. If the band are no longer together, there's no need to beat around the bush. They are not a spent force, they disbanded in 2003. They didn't "flirt" with a breakthrough, they had a lot of press coverage but a disproportionate amount of sales. I think the introductory paragraph is fine, but the main body contains too many euphemisms, unsourced statements and original research. Cycle~ (talk) 16:58, 13 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
OK, thanks for the clarity. Following your suggestions and examples, I've made some changes. If you agree with the improvements, perhaps we can remove the banner? Furrypop (talk) 14:14, 15 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
No probs, I've removed the template. I did a bit of editing too (see page history) and split the biography into sub-sections. One problem though – are there any sources for the early career section (claims such as the single being "recorded for the low sum of £340")? Cheers. Cycle~ (talk) 15:50, 15 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks again. Looks much better now. I looked around for a quotable source for the cost of the debut single and, in the face of unverifiability, removed the statement. Furrypop (talk) 10:59, 16 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
