Talk:Jimmy Eat World

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I don't know what you are talking about, but I added the name of the latest album.--Origami dragon 23:18, 29 Aug 2004 (UTC)

  • cprompt and Camembert Elwhy felt it was pointless to listed "to be announced" (TBA) albums.

[edit] My edit.

WTF?

There was nothing wrong with my edit of the Good To Go EP.

Why call it rubbish... thats just mean. -- 195.194.178.252

You copied the text off another article (via your browser) then just pasted it all as text. Seriously, you even copied and pasted the "From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit" from the top of the page, as well as the "Edit" Wiki editing links, and left it in there.
See for yourself, your edit: [1]
Now, compare to how it looks now: Good to Go EP
I understand if you're new to Wiki, but please learn the proper code techniques before starting an article. Pick a couple of long articles, click "edit this page", and do nothing but look at how the pages are written and how things are oriented. Your last edit of this page included several Wiki goofs.
Also: articles (a, an, the) and prepositions (of, on, to) are not capitalized in titles. (There are exceptions if the preposition is used adverbially, as in "Stay On" or "Hold On".) I know that people do it where they capitalize every word, but that's not the accepted standard. -- ChrisB 20:34, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

Heh, consider me told. But seriously, theres NO CHANCE of me ever learning proper code techniques... can't I just carry on doing crappy edits and let you clever people make the changes???

[edit] There is no way that Jimmy Eat World is emo.

Where the hell did that classification come from?

They were the preeminent emo band of the 1990s. You all do realize that emo existed before 2003, yes? When people talked about emo in the late 90s, the first name that came out of their mouth was Jimmy Eat World. Clarity was considered one of the defining albums of 1990s emo. Seriously, just go to AllMusic and read their bio and reviews, for crying out loud.
Jimmy Eat World is one of the main reasons that modern emo is what it is. Before them, emo was something drastically different. Jimmy Eat World turned mainstream and brought the word "emo" to a more mainstream sound. BTW, this is all entirely documented in the article for Emo (music). -- ChrisB 04:18, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

--Look, these classifications are bullshit, TRIVIAL, to say the least. **

[edit] Jimmy Eat World (1994)

Why is this album not mentioned on the first part of the article? I just double checked, and it is mentioned, but not linked. I'll try to rewrite the paragraph.
