Talk:The Band

Page contents not supported in other languages.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit]

The Band has been evaluated according to the Featured Music Project criteria, most recently affirmed as of this revision. The article's most important issues are listed below. Since this evaluation, the article may have been improved.

The following areas need work to meet the criteria: Comprehensiveness - Sales - Pictures - Audio - References - Format/Style
The space below is for limited discussion on this article's prospects as a featured article candidate. Please take conversations to the article talk page.
  • Comprehensiveness: good start in "overview" section, but needs more on musical style and legacy
  • Sales: Not covered at all
  • Pictures: Need fair use rationales
  • Audio: Needs sound samples
  • References: Inline cites needed, consider adding books on more general topics (e.g. folk rock in general, or music history)
  • Format/Style: needs a copyedit, consolidate short paragraphs, remove "overview" section (lead should be overview)
  • Lead could use some work, but generally pretty good
  • Discography looks good, but why are singles only given for 1965? Is this discography comprehensive? If not, then consider making a subpage for the details

Band at 2008 Grammy's

[edit]

It says in the article that the band is set to reunite for the 2008 Grammy Awards to receive their Lifetime Achievement Award. Does anyone have a source to site for this or proof that this is really true? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Particleman624 (talkcontribs) (20:16, 19 January 2008)

Controversial Content

[edit]

The long-standing controversy about the songwriting credit for the songs recorded by The Band has led some editors to remove content that they disagree with. When such content has citations to support it it should remain. It should not be allowed to be removed. Doug.r.macrae (talk) 03:52, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Timing

[edit]

This article says that they split with Hawkins in 1963 but the Hawkins article says that he didn't move to Canada until 1964. -- Beardo (talk) 14:52, 21 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

“Americana”

[edit]

Just a note when using this word “Americana” for this band to describe their music, it means North American, which, in this case, also includes Canada, not just the United States. Stormydaygirl (talk) 17:34, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
