Article creation

[edit]

I've created this article by splitting it off from the article called The Other Ones. That article is about an American band that included some former members of the Grateful Dead. This article is about the Australian-German band that had the hit single "Holiday". -- Mudwater 01:24, 16 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Is this from the same group? The article as it stands shows no reference to it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.234.130.7 (talk) 22:40, 6 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Definitely the same group: Allmusic.com gives the track listing of their album and both tracks are on it. Feel free to add a short discography to the article if you've actually got the album handy. Daveosaurus (talk) 10:15, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
[edit]

The last section in the article, which currently links to seven other web sites, is in fact a References section, not an External Links section. Per Wikipedia:Citing sources#Types of citation, "A general reference is a citation to a reliable source that supports content, but is not displayed as an inline citation. General references are usually listed at the end of the article in a References section." Per Wikipedia:External links#References and citation, "Sites that have been used as sources in the creation of an article should be cited in the article, and linked as references, either in-line or in a references section. Links to these source sites are not "external links" for the purposes of this guideline... " For an example of a featured article that has Notes, References, and External Links, see Harry Cobby. That article is also a good example of the guideline that External Links should be few in number, and often limited to the official site or sites for the article subject. So, I'm going to change the section name back, from External Links to References. As far as the "No footnotes" tag -- "This article includes a list of references, related reading or external links, but its sources remain unclear because it lacks inline citations. Please improve this article by introducing more precise citations." -- that's true, and inline citations are preferable to general references, because they show exactly which sources relate to which parts of the article, so, while I'm not a huge fan of such tags, I'm going to leave it in.
