[edit] "A drummer"?
I'm reverting the change in the Will Noon section from "World's greatest living drummer (according to Modern Drummer Magazine, April 2005)" to "A drummer", as it's pretty unremarkable for a drummer magazine to claim that someone is "a drummer". Reporting press acclaim does not violate WP:NPOV; please only revert if you think the magazine hasn't actually written this.
- I not only want to see it in print, I want two sources. It's simply unacceptable to have such cruft in an encyclopedia... unless there are source(s) saying exactly that. And such an extrodinary claim better have some sources to go with it. - RoyBoy 800 07:57, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Very crappy page
This page is pretty much just fanservice. Who cares if some band member prefers automatic transition? I'm marking this with the appropriate tag. --CalPaterson 20:15, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
- I disagree per WP:N threshold, and have removed the {{useless}} tag, which is up for deletion anyway, this being the only page using it.
- Plus, the description seems well-written, sourced, NPOV, informative, mildly notable, and generally non-crappy to me. --James S. 07:07, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] What's Another Word For Desperate?
That's awfully harsh. I hardly think that a few somewhat esoteric lines somehow cause the entire page to be "crappy". Furthermore, most of the biographical notes were initially on SR's actual web site, which prompted someone to add them to this page. While certain details may not be necessary, you're going way to far by abusing the entire page. Is history and discography just "fanservice"?
Having said that, there is certainly room for improvement. I believe that the page is too focused on other bands. Of course, it might be pertinent to say that Nate Ruess of the Format appears on "It's For The Best", and that Jeff DaRosa of The Exit appears on "It Never Gets Easier" and "With God On Our Side" (and is engaged to Michelle Nolan, for that matter). Isaac Burker should probably be mentioned, as he is the major guitar tech/backup instrument guy. An external link to the actual 6-song demo (avaliable here: http://www.straylight-run.com/disco/index.html , a site that is already under the links section) would be a nice feature. SR is also no longer under contract with Victory.
EDIT: So, I think the best way to approach this is to relegate all random facts to each band member's individual wikipedia page (Shaun needs to be differentiated from the football player, and Will needs an actual page). This should definitely reduce clutter on the main SR page.

what does "Straylight Run" mean, what does it refer to? --Shandristhe azylean 15:34, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
