[edit] "Joe's moms basement"

"Any good-faith effort to improve the encyclopedia, even if misguided or ill-considered, is not vandalism." The statement in the article should clearly and obviously be spelled "Joe's mom's basement." Twice, now I have tried to make this simple and helpful edit for no other reason than to be helpful instead of a passive user. Twice some a long-time policer has revert the change. I am only told first it is unconstructive, and secondly it is vandalism. Why? Why is this? You are native english speakers, right? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.137.151.62 (talk) 04:19, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Not verified, needs copyedit

Please don't take it as an insult, but I reinserted the tags, for several valid reasons. Regarding the copyedit-tag: there are still a lot of spelling errors in this text, even after SKELETOR666 kindly made some corrections. Just to list some examples from the first paragraph of the bio: begain -> began, widley -> widely, their bands -> their band's, freinds -> friends, technicaly -> technically.... and so forth. Regarding the verify-tag: The article makes a lot of claims that are hardly or not verifiable at all regarding the style of the references. Wikipedia:Citing sources and Wikipedia:Citing sources/example style might help. It's a lot easier for a reader to have notes and citations, rather that some general references at the bottom, which give the article credibility without being of much use to actually verify single facts (like "They begain the band with the idea of starting 'The World's Worst Band'", "with the intention of acting crazy onstage", "The band was so technicaly inept, that Joe (then playing bass) had to color code his bass so that songs could be learned by color, such as "red, green, blue, blue, green" ect."). Basically everything that is not obvious should be verifiable by a common reader. I know that is quite a lot of work, but one has to start somewhere.. so best wishes to the article and it's editors .. --Johnnyw 15:45, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks to the anonymous...

Thanks to the anonymous editors that filled in the early years, names & facts - I'm not too familiar with the early days... But I'm glad that since the 'official' site is now gone, Jello's legacy will remain here (hopefully forever).

OBEY!

Just wondering, isn't Three Little Pigs a cover of the same-titled song by Mucky Pup?? And if so, shouldn't this be mentioned in the text?

No, and no.12.31.192.209 19:54, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

No, it is a different song, although they both have the same name. Skeletor2112 09:25, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

Actually, they don't have the same name: one is called Little Pigs (Mucky Pup), the other Three Little Pigs (Green Jello).72.181.26.55 21:08, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bad Writing Style

Zoo signed them on the spot...only problem was, it had been a bluff, and the band had never made a "video album" before

This does not seem like encyclopedic wording to me. —Preceding unsigned comment added by OMNI (talk • contribs) 06:30, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

The whole article needs a rewrite, but to be honest I don't even know where to begin. We also need a lot more references and such. Nobody of consequence 14:32, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Incorrect Fact Removed

"They were the first band to have their music featured in a video game." - Not true, see as examples the Atari 2600 game "Journey Escape" and SEGA's Motley Crue-themed effort. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.125.133.142 (talk) 23:20, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
