[edit] Temp Page

Uncle G and I have written a temp page for this song. I would be grateful if it could be transferred to the main page after the end of the copyvio process.

[edit] Please remove from VfD.

This is a copyvio, not a VFD! Please remove this article from VfD.

[edit] POV

I hope nobody minds, but since the VfD closed, I moved this temporary article to the main one.

JuliusThyssen has made some unsourced, and rather POV, edits to this article that I have been unable to verify. There does seem to have been some bad blood between Bobby O and PSB at some point, and some sort of litigation, but I've found no indication that WEG was stolen from Bobby O or that there was any lawsuit over it. Unless this can be verified, it has to go, and even if it stays, it needs to be reworded drastically. "Kill Bill-level of vengeance obsession" really isn't appropriate for an encyclopedia article, even on a pop culture topic.

In any case: Julius, have you considered that you might be a little too close to this subject to remain unbiased? AиDя01DTALK 02:55, May 24, 2005 (UTC)

I agree, it's not verified and I'm biased here. Feel free to take it out. I'd love to see Bobby and Tennant/Lowe tell the tale themselves here. "Kill Bill-level of vengeance obsession" did not come from me by the way. JuliusThyssen 10:37, 25 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Title

Okay ... someone want to explain to me why the "G" in this title doesn't take a capital letter? As it stands, this should be a discussion of girls from the West End as opposed to something titled "West End Girls." GassyGuy 18:18, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

Well, uh, a while ago someone added some information from a fan magazine to the Pet Shop Boys article, which dictated that all Pet Shop Boys song titles are to use sentence case capitalization, and things seem to have spiraled out of control from there. There's been a discussion to the effect that we should try to enforce the Wikipedia standard on most of these articles, but frankly I've been putting it off. (If you have feelings on this point, please do voice them as we do need more diverse opinions on this.) –Unint 23:01, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dating Conflict

The sidebar says 1985 for the year the song achieved various chart positions, but the trivia section lists the dates as 1986. 03:56, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Westendgirls-psb.jpg

Image:Westendgirls-psb.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 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.
