Starting Over

The Starting Over link currently points to another group's album. Should I just unlink it? I'm not quite sure what to do in this situation until someone makes that link into an article (or what to do after, for that matter...) BlackTerror 05:47, 19 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

POV and Weasel Words

"They had a run of success in the early 1970s music scene with their crisp pop sound" phrasing like this is used throughout this article. 74.4.198.142 (talk) 16:29, 17 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

To preface I have nothing to do with this article, but the statement you quote is accurate as the band did have success during that time. So I can learn more, how would this phrase need to be restated to be acceptable or more appropriate?THX1136 (talk) 15:43, 17 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The first half of the sentence is fine. However, the phrase, "with their crisp pop sound," is subjective. The article should stick to indisputable facts.24.28.30.65 (talk) 14:48, 25 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Removed the adjective "crisp" since I am assuming it is most responsible for the objection.THX1136 (talk) 14:29, 4 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

POV and Weasel Words

I agree, the article is terrible. It is not written impartially, words and expression of praise included throughout. The whole thing should be rewritten with just the facts and written from a neutral prospective. By the way I am a fan, I came to read about the band but even I don't like people adding stuff into it like this! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stevemor909 (talk • contribs) 05:52, 24 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Could someone revisit this article with an eye towards this objection. Maybe I'm just missing it, but I'm not seeing the sources for the objections throughout the article. If someone would like to take the time I would also appreciate some "education" in this area as I am willing to learn more on this subject. Thanks!THX1136 (talk) 14:46, 4 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
