[edit]

spacehog yeah!

The article says "It went platinum on the Billboard charts, selling over 500,000 copies", though a platnium album is one which sells over 1,000,000 copies. Is this record actually gold, or did it actually sell over a million copies?

Noticed a few grammatical errors while rereading the article, most blaring was the sentence at the end, "In 2002, Spacehog quietly broke up and the band members went their separate ways, though in 2004, Royston Langdon teamed up with the remaining members of Blind Melon to form the band The Quick - later, running into problems touring with the name, they decided on The Tender Trio, sadly The The Tender Trio broke up on March 2nd, 2006." Not only on the verge of being nonsensical, I think my high school English teacher would have beat me to death for how run on it was. Fixed it up a bit. Warhorus 04:20, 25 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Arckid

[edit]

I added a couple of lines about Roy and Ant's new band, Arckid, as well as posing a link to Arckid's site. The new info was was removed (cited as linkspam). The minor reformatting I did was also removed (the need for the reformatting was arguable, and the removal does not cause me any grief). Could someone please explain to me why the Arckid info has been removed. If we aren't going to talk about the band's current activities, why not remove all references to Morningwood and the Twenty Twos? Are we just anti-Landon around here? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Wekoontz (talkcontribs) .

Sorry, that was my spam-detection being overly sensitive. I didn't see the insertion of new material in with the reformatting, and spammers often make trivial changes higher up in articles so that people won't notice links being added. In combination with your red-linked username, I too-quickly judged it spam. I should have checked the link.
Still, I don't think the link belongs here. Notice that the Twenty Twos and Morningwood don't have links—the only external links are specifically Spacehog links. However, I've reinserted the info about Arckid. A better place for the link would be to turn Arckid into an (maybe short to start) article and have the link in the external links section there. Alternatively, the Antony Langdon and Royston Langdon articles could be turned into real articles instead of just redirects to Spacehog as they currently are, and an Arckid link would be highly appropriate there. What do you think?
(Aside from considerations of explicit links to the band site, I do think a reference-link is useful to back up the claim of what Arckid has accomplished so far, and I've put that in with the restored info.) — Saxifrage 16:41, 22 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I say we keep at the bear minimum where the people in the band have moved on to. I think that people who liked these bands would be interested in knowing where the members split to so fans can follow the work. But beyond where they are, I don't think anything else in necessary. Oh, and I added a little note on Cragg joining Arckid. Comatoast 09:07, 8 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I agree about splitting this into other articles—at this point almost half of this article is about stuff other than Spacehog. —johndburger 13:27, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Avril Troll spam

[edit]

Don't know how it was done - but there is an annoying extra div overlapping the text of this page. Calydon (talk) 08:07, 10 July 2008 (UTC)—Preceding unsigned comment added by Calydon (talkcontribs) 07:32, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Chart positions

[edit]

I see that recently someone added a bunch of singles and chart positions to the page. Correct me if I'm wrong but I dont believe that "one of thes days" was a number one single in the US. Ive never even heard of it being released as a single.

Could someone with a bit more knowledge clean that mess up. Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 154.5.119.142 (talk) 09:10, 29 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

They were added by 24.166.143.247. I've undone the edits as they appeared to be vandalism, and I've also undone edits by Roehl56, which is possibly the same user as they make similar edits to the same articles and both have previously received warnings for vandalism (although I'm not sure if the change to the US chart position of The Chinese Album was correct, as I couldn't find a source). snigbrook (talk) 17:13, 8 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
