Final Performance

We also need to have references cited for the "Last Years" section, specifically for the paragraph dealing with the Soul2Soul reunion. luckado 00:17, 30 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I added that last paragraph there about there last performance, which I was lucky enough to be able to attend. Unfortunately I can't provide citation, since this was based off my personal visit there and from what I heard from the band leader both onstage and off. --Gamehiker 23:07, 5 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I added a citation for the Soul2Soul Honor award and concert, but Gamehiker or someone else will need to make a citation for the statement about the "no intention to make any future performance" and "final encore." Kirkman 19:03, 7 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well this was via an actual conversation after the concert. Is there a way that I could even cite myself in such a manner? --Gamehiker 01:45, 9 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know how the big-wig wikipedia guys feel about something like that, but I think it could be acceptable if you were thorough in the citation. But you should also clean up that sentence and make it definitive. In other words, don't say "it appears that..." which is quite wishy-washy. If Florian told you there would be no future appearances, then say that. If he wasn't definitive in his conversation with you, then you probably should remove that entire sentence. Kirkman 03:14, 15 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think that for an announcement that important, we would see some sort of press release or news article on that; maybe even a simple statement on their website. Unfortunately, a simple conversation from a Wikipedia user can only be categorized as hearsay, and nothing more. I think we should leave this information out until we can get some sort of article, release, or official statement from the band. Since the information has been removed, I also removed the "unreferenced" tag from the article. luckado 10:05, 21 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Spelling of the band's name

The spelling of the band's name is "White Heart". There is a space in between. It appears that some folk are mistaking album cover graphic design art for new spellings -- no, it may look different in some stylized artwork, but it has always been "White Heart". Check the liner notes of your White Heart albums -- not just the cover artwork -- and you will see it is so. - 68.117.207.28 09:01, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

On both of the Curb records releases it was officially WHITEHEART as displayed on the spine and WhiteHeart (on Inside)/W:hiteH:eart (on Redemption) as displayed on the cover of the insert. No space before "heart" in either case. --Walter Görlitz (talk) 04:44, 11 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

www.whiteheart.com

www.whiteheart.com is listed here as the Official Web Site for the band. It is not -- it is merely a fan web site which bills itself as "The Official White Heart Fan Home Page". We must be careful about referencing sites that claim to be "official" and are no such thing. - 68.117.207.28 09:20, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Album Pages

WHY IS THERE NO ALBUM PAGES????

24.64.223.203 23:13, 6 July 2006 (UTC)HappyBoy[reply]

Sounds like you are the perfect candidate to add those pages! luckado 00:17, 30 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Kevin Mills

I have heard that Kevin Mills (bassist for the Newsboys from '93-'95 or so) played with White Heart at one point before pursuing an acting career. Does anyone know when he was in the band? If so, that should be added. BassMaster208 20:45, 11 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I found the info you want on these pages - [1] [2] He played with them on Inside tour, also the road manager.OfficialDoughboy (talk) 22:02, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Scott Douglas/Mathiesen

Somebody removed the section of the article that dealt with Douglas/Mathiesen's arrest and conviction.

To me, this is a pretty important part of White Heart's history, and it should be left in. Especially in light of the way it had potential to affect their testimony (as seen in the av1911.org link)

However, I concede it may need to be sourced better. To that end, I'm going to see if I can find newspaper or magazine articles on the subject. Mathiesen is listed on Tennessee's state sex offender registry, though.

Kirkman 01:02, 22 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Totally agree that the info should stay but I think it's about time that the Dial-the-Truth Ministries page gets an update to show where the attacks come from.

I'm sorry if I sound harsh but I think in all things the truth should be shown and the reader should make up their own mind. It's okay to source the attack site but I think it's time to show their "truths" for what they are too. They can't be bothered to do any real research, partially quote songs and then say a band is evil based on this.

Again your statement is true, therefore shouldn't be removed but I want to see the other side of the coin shown.OfficialDoughboy (talk) 15:30, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with your point of view on the content of the av1911.org site. But plenty of other preachers and ministers were decrying Christian rock with similar criticisms (though most have changed their stance since the 80s and 90s). Mathiesen's arrest just added fuel to their critical fire. In any event, this is significant to Whiteheart and to all of Christian rock. Kirkman (talk) 03:45, 13 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I added it back using the reference about Douglas being listed as a sex offender. Feel free to build up. WAVY 10 Fan (talk) 20:24, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, so someone removed Scott Douglas' name from the list of band members. The reason given for the change was "unsourced." That's pretty ridiculous, as technically none of the names on the list have sources. But for future reference, here are links to a magazine article and a FAQ from whiteheart's website which clearly establish his being in the band:

Kirkman (talk) 02:49, 5 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'll add this Associated Press news update to the talk page.

https://www.apnews.com/cd7de4d92bcc0b840f3a009c64219eb4

I don't see the FAQ live or in the archives. --LABcrabs (talk) 12:55, 9 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Tales of Wonder..most "popular"?

Any kind of citation on this? I'd have to check my "Hot Hits" chartbook when I get home but as I recall this album didn't sell particularly well nor had a ton of Christian radio "hits". I think it would be much easier to make a case for FREEDOM as their most "popular" if sales and radio airplay are the indicators. This seems like author's POV.

Writing is worse than the first rehearsal

I liked the band, but there are some significant issues with the article. Please, someone who passed College Composition or has a Journalism background, have mercy and spend five minutes editing it. RenaissongsMan 01:53, 9 July 2023 (UTC)
