ALL CAPs references

I believe that they should be changed to normal text. Instead of boldly doing so, I'm checking here first.— Dæ dαlus^Contribs 17:39, 28 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I am going to do it. A user has been adding them for the past few days. I plan to properly format the references using inline citations. The job will take time, but I'm on it. I will get to it sooner or later. Suede67 (talk) 17:47, 28 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

British or Scottish or N. Irish

based in Scotland with member from Northern Ireland and Scotland, surely that makes them British not just a northern Irish, and really I'm sure the only people changing it are Northern Irish nationalists who change everything--86.136.245.67 (talk) 15:33, 10 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

But the band themselves call them Northern Irish, and not Scottish, that what the reference is for. Consider AC/DC. They're "Australian", even though the people who form it are English/Scottish, only the drummer being Australian born. The band consider themselves Australian, simple! Suede67 (talk) 15:53, 10 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hope we can lay this to rest. The source is a BBC interview, which says: "Despite living in Glasgow for the past five years and having formed in Dundee, McClelland told BBC News Online that the band still and always will class Northern Ireland as home."

Kilt Wearer??

I'm just wondering what this means: "He later left to pursue a career as a kilt wearer." --Wikiddc (talk) 03:28, 11 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That's vandalism. I've removed it. Thanks for the heads-up. -Phoenixrod (talk) 04:32, 11 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Gomez Whippin' Piccadilly

At the very beginning of the song "Warmer Climate" on the Eyes Open album, you can hear the song "Whippin' Piccadilly" by Gomez being played. Listen carefully though. I decided i better post it here because not many people might see it on Talk:Eyes Open. --213.83.125.225 (talk) 10:37, 14 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Northern Irish

What the hell is Northern Irish,Northern Irish is not a nationality.The people of Northern Ireland either call themselves Irish or British with either passports.What is the point in referring to them as Northern Irish when there is no such international term?This is just more of the typical oudated sectarian nonsense from a group of people. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.107.8.233 (talk) 13:02, 24 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Timeline Inaccuracy

Hi,

I was wondering if the creator of the timeline could possibly update it as I (Michael Morrison) was in the band with Gary and Mark through to December 1996, i.e. just over two years. For some reason I only show up as being in for about half a year. For the record, I can recall the last gig I played with the band being at a private 'toga party' in near Roseangle in Dundee; perhaps the most unusual gig I've ever done!. Very soon afterward however, I had a breakdown and had to leave bothe the University nd the band.
