Excellent article - well done. It is good to see an article about a music groups which is not just trivia and lists :=)Johncmullen1960 10:54, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
I suggest that in the external links there should only be one URL per site domain - as it stands there is several all pointing to the same site. If all sites were to take a similar approach then the list would become unweildly. Thoughts?
Removed non-factual comments/opinion from the external links.
is it "Stone Roses" or "The Stone Roses"?
- Does the artwork on here answer your question? http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0000004V2/qid=1037706906/sr=8-1/ref=sr_8_1/002-0924825-7928012?v=glance&s=music&n=507846 (its always THE Stone Roses on their cover art) -- User:GWO
Thought as much. Should probably move the page then.

"Made of Stone" and "Elephant Stone" did not chart at the positions stated on their original release. These positions were the re-release positions. This was at the same time as "One Love" was in the charts.
added small portion re browns arrest in the guardian article it says 1998 yet further down the article it says he was imprisoned in 1997....bear with me, this is my first edit.(martinB)
"John Squire's solo career has been compared to Bob Dylan". On what basis?
That they are both incredibly overated?
[edit] Stone Roses song listing
Hi - I recently added a list of Stone Roses songs to the wiki but they were removed. Any reason why? 2 reasons - it helps provide a complete listing of all their songs. It enables people to know where to find these songs. Thanks
Hello, I've just read the article & I don't believe 'Ruby Kitching' should be referred to. The fact that someone changed 'Sally Cinnamon' to 'Ruby is Mint' makes me think this is sabotage. I've never heard of this person before, although I know The Patrol had another vocalist before Ian Brown.
"The Stone Roses were formed in Manchester during the early-1980s by tambourinist Ian Brown and vocalist Ruby Kitching. " Is this correct? There needs to be a correct first reference to John Squire, I think.Nd239 16:41, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
that is totally wrong
[edit] Stone Roses fan survey 2007
hi, to the person removing the link I am trying to place. I do not consider the survey to be a spam link. It will give a valuable insight into the current Stone Roses fans new and old.
I think it will be interesting to see how they fit in with the older Stone Roses fans, many of which were there at the gigs and saw their rise to power and compare and constrast the views across the boards on key issues.
So we'll be able to see finally if all the new fans and the longest fans seem to prefer the debut album, whereas those in the middle (getting into the band at the time of its release) generally prefer Second Coming. And if everyone who saw the Roses first time around really doesn't want a Roses reformation for fear of damaging the legacy while those of the younger generation (some of whom not born til after '89) would want to see it happen and experience some of the glory days for themselves.
I have already received over 100 completed surveys from fans of a very good age range.
The link will also only stay here while I am collecting surveys to get results.
Please post here if you still don't agree, please don't just delete the link again. Feel free to check out that the content is valid. http://www.john-squire.com/fansurvey2007.html
Thank you.
- Thanks for dicussing it here. However, as you have described it, this link violates the external linking guidelines WP:External links. Links should be encyclopedic, provide supplemental information not found in the article, and should not be used for promotion (even non-commercially). Also, since it is your website, linking to it violates "conflict of interest" WP:COI. Please do not relink it unless other editors come to consensus that this link is appropriate for the article. Thanks. Nposs 16:17, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
- Also, the top level domain of the linked website is already linked in the article. Websites should only be linked once from any article. Nposs 16:19, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
OK, well the intention of the survey is not one of promotion of any website but as independent research into the current status of the Stone Roses fans and their view, I am aware of other links to the site in the links established but I thought this link would be suitable here due to the nature of the research and the interest that it should generate once the results have been pooled as it should give a good account of which age groups want a reformation/prefer one lp over the other and just how younger and younger fans are discovering the band. So I hope that it is reconsidered but I will not replace link until that time.
Thank you.
