I think this is where people who talk to me do it.

Duels (band)

[edit]

I cut out this:

Their sound has been likened to David Bowie, the Kinks, Syd Barret and the Pretty Things, while obvious comparisons have been made to fellow Leeds band Kaiser Chiefs, who they have toured with extensively and count as friends.

Because it sounded like fan-site info rather than encyclopedia article. Every band can be compared to a ton of diverse bands - it's usually not terribly helpful unless it's really specific (do they sound like "Jean Genie" or "Waterloo Sunset"?) - and talking about who their friends is classic fan-talk that doesn't inform the reader of anything. Pretend you came to the article by hitting "random article" - what would you want/need to know? Don't pretend you're somebody who knows the band already, looking for confirmation of its importance or of what you know. Obviously, of course there's an element of subjectivity in making this distinction - such is the joy of wikipedia! - DavidWBrooks 18:52, 12 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
