[edit] Awards

We should highlight the band's awards and their achievements. what do you think?Katser 05:23, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] PASS THE MOTION FOR REWRITING

The article is obviously a biased description of the band expressing statements more on adjectives than facts.

  Regine Velasquez's page makes this article look like a very factual news report.71.129.232.138 22:20, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Controversy?

What's with the questionable info stated in the controversy section? This is very degrading to the band and should be confirmed, otherwise, immediately deleted!

[edit] YAY HALE!

love it. if you don't then don't listen to them. simple as that.

Amen! -eniarrol- 10:03, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

Not a venue for you personal related talks. Thanks. BritandBeyonce 12:51, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Arbritrary Deletes

It's too bad information was deleted from the page that told about musical roots and influences. I believe this is very important information to have about any musical group. I don't understand what makes the information irrelevant, or makes the page simply a fan site.

The deleted sections should stay if they are not original research, and I don't think they are. If someone else has said this, lets slap a citation on it and keep it. Let's not let delete hawks ruin another informative article. --Malecasta 09:13, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

Much of the info came this. As such, it is a clear and blatant violation of copyright. Also, even if it stays there, it still violates this Wikipedia policy. As a matter of fact, I'd suggest everyone to read those policies and you'll see that although the article has lots of info, it is in bad shape and needs to be copy-edited.

Simply resloved: First, cite the sources: there will be no more copyright violation, and nothing needs to be deleted. Second, copy-edit seems fine, but if you feel the need to revise, then please do so. Let's keep information on the page that gives insight into what "hale (band)" is. If we can save information, cite it as a secondary source (not propaganda), and revise it, then we should not delete the information. Additonally, no policies are being violated in this good-faith attempt to write a valid article. I want to do this work, but I won't if content I work on keeps being deleted. The only question not answered here is "is the information encyclopedic?" After the above conditions are met, why wouldn't the information be encyclopedic?--Malecasta 01:45, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

Citing sources won't make it copyvio-free; if the whole section/s is/are copied from a website, word-by-word, then that is copyvio, even if you cite them. And a whole paragraph/section for roots and influences? Isn't that an overkill? And equipment (only a sentence, even a phrase could do)? Howard the Duck 02:28, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

Thank goodness for quotation marks and paraphrasing. And no, I don't think it's overkill, but if it can be stated more succinctly, then I'm all for it. --Malecasta 02:47, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

Paraphrasing will be enough. Also, the copyrighted text was in a bad shape anyway, so paraphrasing will help in the improvement of the article. Howard the Duck 03:08, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] hay

iba talaga pag pinoy gumagawa. parang naga-advertise sa magazine, leche.--124.104.41.55 (talk) 18:54, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
