[edit] Picure?

The picure for this article is hilariously terrible. Any chance of a better one?99.238.59.26 (talk) 01:12, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Article

I would like to discuss if the world needs a Ting Tings Wikipedia page. I'd like to give a few reasons:

1) Their myspace page is highly popular: 271.000+ profile views, roughly 5,000 views a day, people seem to be interested in the band. 2) They performed at Glastonbury festival, which is one of the biggest festivals in the world. 3) They supported Reverend & The Makers in their UK tour and will be part of the Line Up of the NME Tour next year. 4) Both their singles were highly popular on BBC 6 Music and their limited 7 editions were sold out fairly early.

Katie White has just been interviewed on BBC 6Music (02-JAN-2008). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.254.237.50 (talk) 15:13, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
There should be plenty of online stuff to make a decent article. Just a brief history and glastonbury etc. radio1 playlist. regularly feature in NME etc. tours. disography. Person642 (talk) 20:46, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
I have gone back in the articles history to an earlier version, which I and others created with some great references. I wish the Anon's would stop removing huge lumps of text - when its referenced, why do it? The articles now back to something which represents a decent attempt from which to move this whole thing forward. Rgds, --Trident13 (talk) 09:34, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
Classic mistake. It's not whether the world needs a Ting Tings Wikipedia page; it's whether the world needs Wikipedia. 90.212.113.110 (talk) 20:24, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Thank you very much, Trident13, I appreciate your work. I also find the "deleters" very annoying. Keep your head! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.220.188.241 (talk) 23:25, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

Well, some of the internet users of wikipedia seem to have a certain amount of envy regarding the Ting Tings. That's pathetic. Get a life!--Shiver (talk) 14:03, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Merge fromKatie White

Is there a need on an article for the singer? This article is pretty stubby, as is the article on her. Her other asociated act both doesn't seem to be notable and its existence is unsourced. One good article is better than two stubs and merge here would follow standard practice. --Pretty Green (talk) 06:53, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Contradiction?

It might just be me, but I've read this three times and it doesn't make sense to me:

"Shortly after the release of the album, the band released a statement on the social network service MySpace which explained to fans that their single "That's Not My Name" had reached number 1 in the UK Singles Charts, the statement went on to encourage fans to purchase legal copies of the single in order to keep at the top position for the official Sunday Chart release on May 18th."

So it was already at #1, and then they encouraged people to buy it to keep it at #1? No, because it entered at #1 on May 18th, and then fell to #2 the following week (May 25th). So I don't get this. Can anyone assist?Tobycek (talk) 20:47, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
