[edit] This music is not "rock or punk"

There's no way that this music is rock or punk like the article used to say, although it is more rock/punkish than normal CCM. The music is either soft rock or a rock/CCM hybrid. 70.25.92.14 20:51, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Discography

The Discography years has been changed a few times. I've left it as the year of release of the albums rather than the year recorded. If anyone disagrees please discuss it here before changing. Nath85 05:41, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

  • I've since simply added the month of release to clear things up. Nath85 05:52, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 2006 Album

2006: Usually, the Saturday night in the Encounterfest convention is the time where United records there new album. This year they are doing something different. They recorded the WHOLE convention and will pick select songs to be in their 2006 album, which will release in Feburary 2007.

This is true...in the past! they are now recording a studio album. and not going to use the live stuff. Check this sorces for back up....

[edit] Album link naming

Why are they all under "___ (Hillsong album)" instead of "_____ (Hillsong United album)"? Hillsong is the name of a different "group", technically, and so the album names should reflect the "real" group. SKS2K6 04:55, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

The "___ (Hillsong album)" is just to disambiguate from other articles that already exist. For example Best Friend is already an article, so Best Friend (Hillsong album) was used to disambiguate. All Hillsong albums had (Hillsong album) appended for consistency as they were all produced by the Hillsong church. I notice the existing Hillsong United albums have been moved to "___ (Hillsong United album)" which is fine, however there are some redirects that need taking care of. Also note the prepositions and articles in "All of the Above" (i.e. 'of' and 'the') should be in lower case (i.e. not "All Of The Above") to comply with album and song name guidelines (see the project link from the album's talk page). Thanks Marky1981 21:07, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
I know they're meant to disambiguate. It's just that there's a difference between a Hillsong album and a Hillsong United album. And most of the redirects were fixed; there are no double redirects. The system just took a while fixing all the template links. SKS2K6 02:07, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Article focus

This article is about a Christian band that happens to be associated with a church. Please, let's keep the focus on the band. Information about the youth group is not needed, and does not meet Wikipedia's notability standards.

I disagree with the above statement "Information about the youth group is not needed, and does not meet Wikipedia's notability standards". Hillsong United is THE youth ministry of Hillsong Church, that happens to release albums. The article should focus on the youth ministry (which is called Hillsong United), with a section (which would be rather large) on the music and albums side of it. The 'Hillsong' table lists the 'Hillsong United' page under 'ministries' rather than 'music', so the page should be centred around the youth ministry, not just the music side of it.

[edit] Dates

Shouldn't the main date be the release date, with a note about the recorded date after? SKS2K6 20:43, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:AOTH lrg.jpg

Image:AOTH lrg.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 17:16, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
