[edit] Large Earners for Australian Entertainers

I am not sure where the facts are to be found on this but I have noted with interested over many years The Newsboys turn up high on the list of Australian Entertainment Industry money earns even though they are virtually unknown here in Australia - Waza 05:19, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

Have found some references:
I still believe I saw the Newsboys listed much higher in late 90's or early 00's, does anyone know where references would be found?

[edit] Kevin Mills

The article says that Kevin Mills left Newsboys to join White Heart, but that wiki article has no mention of him at all. Did he join White Heart or not? 64.180.5.239 20:31, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

I looked at the member list of whiteheart on emusic, and there is nothing there about kevin mills, however there is a whiteheart album listed on this page.

not that its an accurate source, but it might be a start.

[edit] Incomplete information

This article doesn't seem to make any mention of the movie produced and starring Newsboys, "Down Under the Big Top". That should be added. Plus their book "Shine" is not mentioned anywhere in the article.

A side note, the tense and tone of the article change constantly, and some grammatical errors make certain pieces of information seem incorrect or at least hard to read.

This article should be re-written entirely, with the help of an expert close to the band to verify accuracy on many of the items. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.15.94.103 (talk) 14:49, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Founding members

According to Peter Furler's biography, he founded the band with George Perdikis in 1986. Sean Taylor joined in 1987, as did John James in 1986/1987.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Newsboyslogo.png

Image:Newsboyslogo.png 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 this Wikipedia article 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. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is 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.

[edit] Christian pop band

Newsboys are a Christian pop band not a Christian pop band. In other words they play Christian pop and are more than just a bunch of christians in a pop band. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Matt 14 (talk • contribs) 13:36, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

I've been referring to them as a Christian pop rock band in my edits. What do you think of that?

[edit] Hands and feet

what album is hands and feet on? I can't seem to find the song listed on any album tracklists, please help out here.

MATT 14

It's not a Newsboys song, it's an Audio Adrenaline song. It's on Audio Adrenaline's "Underdog" CD, as well as on all of their various "Greatest Hits" CDs. 69.236.64.186 (talk) 08:49, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
