Nothing links here. Anonymous editors with no other edits. Is this orphan any more than a self-promotion? --Wetman 06:22, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Architecture In Helsinki are quite a well-known indie band here in Australia. Cnwb 08:48, 16 July 2005 (UTC)
Actually, they're reasonably well-known worldwide - I'm from Bulgaria, I was kind of surprised to find such a small entry.
And they're linked to on the Twee page. -- JoJo McLeod 12:31, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
Architecture in Helsinki is gaining popularity throughout the world. This page should reflect it. Someone needs to edit and add more information -Fran
bueno, AiH no es conocida en la Argentina, pero para que haya llegado a conocerla es que deben ser bastantes conocidos en Europa y en EEuu y sobre todo en Australia. Aparte, sus videos (como Do the whirlwind!) se pasan muy de vez en cuando en un canal de musica argentino (rock and pop tv), pero no los pasan por mtv o much music

[edit] Name?

As a Finn I was wondering...why do they call themselves Architecture in Helsinki? --TonyM キタ━( °∀° )━ッ!! 18:53, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

I'm from melbourne, I heard they created their name by cutting up a newspaper and pulling words out of a hat. It is a quirky, weird name, and they play quirky weird music.--211.28.173.53 15:42, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] It'5!

I changed Line 13's reference to their song "It'5!". Someone mistakingly put "It's 5!", a reasonable error, but an error nonetheless. The song is indeed called "It'5!". Thanks! JustinFRANCIS 07:50, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mbrs.

At no point in this article does it clearly state what instruments each member plays. Chubbles (talk) 00:49, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Images

I think the reason the old image was rooted was because it existed on Wikipedia Image:Architectureinhelsinki.jpg and at on Commons under the same name. There is room for both old and new images in the article, but we can't readd the old one until it is deleted leaving the Commons one behind. (I have listed it for deletion already).

The commons image appears to almost certainly be a copyvio... dihydrogen monoxide (H2O) 08:01, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
Special:Contributions/Helsinkids appears to be someone associated with the band by their editing history. The commons image is uploaded by someone using the same name, Special:Contributions/Helsinkids, and if my recollection is correct it was a direct copy of the Wikipedia image. Uploading duplicates between both locations appears to be a newbie mistake. Also, the images contain EXIF data for a fancy medium format camera, most images floating about on the net have the EXIF stripped out, so it makes the 'copy and paste from the net' explanation less likely. Wongm (talk) 08:52, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
Hmm, valid point, and if it is someone associated with the band that'd be pretty cool. However, Commons would require that they are actually are someone associated (OTRS proof works well)...I'll raise the issue there and see what happens. dihydrogen monoxide (H2O) 09:05, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
