[edit] Alternate name

Can we find a source somewhere that shows an alternate name for this group as "Pretty Ricky Ricky Rickay"? I removed it once from the article, mostly because 1) it's just a lyrical version of the same name that only appeared in one of their songs and 2) I have serious doubts that anyone has ever, to my knowledge, thought that was the group's actual name. Other editors keep putting it back, however, so maybe I'm wrong here. Does anyone know a reliable source that can clear this up? If not, I think it should be removed as an alternate name - it looks pretty silly to me, though that is just my opinion. *Vendetta* _{(whois talk edits)} 20:05, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

• Well, they repeatedly say this name various time in videos and appearances. Plus, people have announced the group by this name. Therefore, it's okay to add that name because they're known for it. 72.147.251.93

[edit] The missing years?

The article indicates, in the opening paragraph and in the sidebar, that the group has been active since 1997. Yet the rest of the article contains no information earlier than 2005. Is this article missing a lot of biographical information, or is the statement that they "exploded in the music industry in 1997" hyperbole? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Vogelfrei (talk • contribs) 21:05, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

could be?. i mean how can they just explode in 1997?. what happened before that? [WHY DID I GIVE YOU MY HEART?.] ♠ [TAY♥][SAy iT.] 15:03, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Proposed merger from Amition/4 Play

Someone has proposed a merger. I agree; I'll support deletion too. Gene Nygaard (talk) 21:25, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

Oppose. There's no source given saying that this person actually is a group member. --Geniac (talk) 23:18, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

Support, especially because that article name has a typo. --Geniac (talk) 14:43, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
