New wave? fuck that they're NOT new wave.

[edit] separate pages

I think we should create separate pages for JFK and Seb, since they both work on different projets as well as DFA, but right now typing their name in automatically links you to the DFA page. --81.243.234.31 16:03, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 'from' capitalization

I guess this is a trivial matter, but for the sake of correctness, I think the 'from' in the article's main page should have the F in upper case. If you look on their MySpace page in the About section, they have the F in their name capitalized.

Prepositions in titles are usually never capitalized. - CMK 02:31, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

Quite right, but there are several occurrences in the article itself where it has the word capitalized. Seeing as how that's the way the band does it, why not change the article title? I'd just like to reiterate that it is a trivial matter, so it's no big deal to me.

Prepositions are never capitalized, unless they're longer than four letters. That means basically only "about" and "under" are capitalized. I'm going to go through and fix the article and links to reflect the lowercase "from". Evan Reyes 20:52, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
