I have a few images what i could upload from they were supporting The Saturdays at Rochester Castle, but all the members are not on. Would you like me to upload it anyway? --SitDownOnIt (talk) 10:50, 12 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Members

I honestly don't believe that "Steve doesn't have a favourite breed of dog, but if pressed he'd probably choose fish and chips" is suitable content for an encyclopedia - perhaps it could remain on the Band's own website? Since that proved to be most of the content of the "Members" section, I have deleted it, as the names of the members of this band can be found at the top of the article.

The Saturdays

The girl group is in the template and categories of this article, yet not mentioned in the body of the article. Something about the connection between the two groups should be added, unless there is not a substantial connection, in which case all mention of them should be removed from this article.

I think The Wanted supported The Saturdays on tour. Not sure that's a substantial connection. The category certainly doesn't belong, so I've removed that. AnemoneProjectors 21:41, 9 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Edit Request- Is this really needed?

This line "He was a member of Gloucestershire Youth Jazz Orchestra with Alex Macdougall (Dip ABRSM)." Seems to add nothing to the article, Alex Macdougall is an unknown, there appears to be no reference for it & it seems unnecessarily present. Any chance someone could edit & remove?

On The wanted page chapter Siva Kaneswaran it says he is 22 but he is not he is 21 so i think you need to change it !!! thank you for reading

Yours Sincerly Miss Megan Baker

94.9.58.133 (talk)

Not done: According to the one of the sources for the statement, the band's website, it has his birthdate as it is listed and the age is automatically calculated by that, and is correct at 22 for that date. The band's site has him listed as 21 also but is probably out of date. Jnorton7558 (talk) 04:38, 26 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Deletion Rerquired

Can someone remove the "Tom" from after "Thomas"? After all, Max didn't need "Max" after his first name.

Query spelling of McGuiness

McGuinness is the normal spelling of the name, and McGuiness one among many common misspellings. Both are quite common on the web in mentions of the band, and the official band site doesn't say. Any authoritative source for the correct spelling in this case? 86.11.16.232 (talk) 13:35, 25 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure what you're questioning - the bands official site clearly calls him McGuiness in all cases. That seems authoritative enough. Chaheel Riens (talk) 13:56, 25 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Deletion required

There is no citation for this on The Wanted wiki page. And the supposed award is not from a notable source.

Third Strike

I'm sorry, I don't have the required privileges to edit the page myself. But the album won't be called Third Strike. There's a video in which Nathan confirms it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qe3AWzj4O5A He says "It's not called Third Strike [...] could be a big jinx, like three strikes and you're out" So please, could someone edit this? Fralamp88 (talk) 10:52, 11 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This is VERY true. NOTHING about the third album has been leaked nor confirmed by the band or the record label themselves.

James Kevin Noah Carlos McGuiness (Jay) was born in Newark 24th July 1990 along with his un-identical twin brother, 5 minutes apart, Tom. He has two biological brothers Luke and Dexter, along with a biological sister Debra. However Jay's parents, when he was just turning thirteen, made the conscious, selfless, decision to expand their family and adopt an African American child. Upon arrival of the birth of Jay's new adopted brother (Winston Wiley-McGuiness) Jay led a new path of entertainment due to the pressures at home. He started to attend a Tap Dancing facility where he experimented with the male sex, in order to figure out which path to take in life. However after a year or two he decided that he prefers the female genitala. At the age of 16 Jay lost his virginity (not of the anal kind) to his first long-term girlfriend Lucinda Bartholmude Cumberpatch. However in 2008 they decided to go part ways due to their interests colliding (she prefered the female sex organs) and Jay's auditioning of a new band. In 2009 the band formed and released their first chart topping single, All Time Low, in 2010. Following their years of success the band proceeded to dominate the world. There has been accusations of Jay developing a relationship with the bands only homosexual member Nathan Sykes, however the rumors were promptly denied. More recently there have been worries that Jay is frustrated and would like to create another life. He has been making frequent comments on babies and wanted a 'band baby call Arthur', which could then refer back to his relationship with Lucinda as new information came to light that her and her partner, Shaniqua, have adopted a baby from Uganda. Worries were formed when he made the comment 'it's like we're setting fire to babies or anything', which resulted in a restraining order stating he is not allowed within 100 feet of her, her partner, or her child. We are sure that Jay will stick to this order and hopefully find his own girlfriend - or boyfriend - to settle down with and have a baby. Jay is very excited for the release of their new album 'Word of Mouth' to be released on September 16th, and their upcoming world tour, where we are sure he will be looking for Mrs/Mr right.
