[edit] Polyglot?

Why is he classed an American Polyglot if there isn't even any mention of what languages he speaks in the body of the article? 71.247.42.134 05:12, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Edits

I edited the page. I added info and quotes from reputable sources, and was in the middle of citing everything, but then the bot went in and reverted it to the old version. Has this happened to anyone else? Or does anyone else know how to make sure it doesn't happen in the future?

Do we know for sure he quit cigarette smoking? I think that should be taken out. He could go back to it tomorrow and none of us would know.

[edit] Some help

So I'd really like to update this page, but I want to make sure I've got it right. Can anybody tell me where I might be able to find old articles about Julian and/or The Strokes? I've been looking through the New York City Public Library archives, as well as the NYU online archives and neither of them seems to have anything. Any suggestions?

[edit] What?

what the fuck is wrong with this page? It sounds like it was ripped from a shitty music magazine. 137.186.145.102 04:57, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Picture?

Can we get a photo on this page? 70.162.37.27 03:27, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Not up to scratch

It's true there are some real problems with this article. It includes speculation about the future, it's written in a very non-encyclopaedic way...in short...bizarre. Needs someone's attention.

[edit] cleanup

this still has some good info on Casablancas, and after a pic and a clean up, will be a good article. I did a little...I'll probably do some more laterOsbus 20:37, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Uh, what??

Yeah this article is really weird. What's with the constant Kurt Cobain comparisons? Is whoever wrote this shit trying to say that Julian is going to shoot himself (or that Juliet is going to shoot him)?? Plus most of the information under "Music" is more about the band in general.

Anyways, I am going to definitely clean this up whenever I have the time. Also I added a photo. It's kinda oldish, but oh well.

Later edit: Okay, I don't think the entire last section has any real information or facts in it whatsoever. And it should be deleted... which I tried to do, but apparently someone had a problem with that. So I am asking everyone: what do you think about it? Should it stay or should it go?

I know! Whats up with that! Can Nirvana and the Strokes BE any different? And I dont think Jules could ever be Kurt, even if he wanted to.

[edit] Nepotism

There were some rumors of nepotism when the strokes first came up, particular because of Casablanca's father's connections. Anyone find anything on that? 201.21.20.196 16:23, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

--> there is no nepotism. Julian doesn't talk to his dad.

[edit] Category:Bass guitarists

I added Julian to the list because he does play bass for Albert. --74.34.217.222 00:03, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Marriage

I heard somewhere that Julian and his wife have separated, can anyone confirm this and if true modify the entry please. 86.135.175.186 15:17, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

I don't know if they have separated but it appears that Juliet is no longer working at Wiz Kid. Apparently, the Strokes have an assistant manager named Aleks Cisneros. 03:45, 27 January 2008 (UTC))
