Not to be confused with? Is any confusion remotely possible with the kiddie cartoon, Phineas and Ferb, or is the distinction warning based merely on the cute rhyme and therefore taking up unwarranted header space? There is certainly no mirror-image warning on the P&F page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.195.76.34 (talk) 22:44, 10 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]


"Reunited", the unlikely follow-up single, which reached number 1

Can anyone describe what is "unlikely" about the follow-up single? DeSales 19:32, 22 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The "unlikely" description was stolen from Hogan's All-Music bio, which has been copied (sometimes with considerable error introduced) all over the web.

Other articles reveal that the producers knew exactly what they were doing in maintaining the brand's legacy of combining the upbeat and the ballad. Apparently, "Reunited" was intended to recall the original duo's "United".


Francine Hurd Barker, the Original Peaches and namesake of the group, died unexpectedly on August 13, 2005 due to health related issues

"died due to health related issues?" Well, as you would, I suppose.

There's not much point in describing her death in the article. The cause is unmentioned in the sole easily accessible obituary, at http://www.spectropop.com/remembers/FrancineBobit.htm, and furthermore she appears to have been a very ill woman, having suffered coma, aneurysm, and amputation according to an unsigned Bio at http://www.soulwalking.co.uk/Peaches%20&%20Herb.html

Of all the material out on the web, only the obituary and a brief paragraph at http://www.soulwalking.co.uk/Been%20Missed%204.html appear to have been based upon first-hand contact with Barker's family. The former offers some clarification on her early singing and recording career, and the latter offers insight on her early use of the stage name Francine Day.

The 2009 Washington Post and 2008 Jet articles correct several facts mis-reported across the web, most notably that Herb had two distinct careers in law enforcement, not a singular one with the police. They also offer first-hand quotes from Herb on the subject of his 1970 retirement from music, both at odds with the widely repeated Hogan/All Music bio claiming depression/despondency were behind his actions. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.195.76.34 (talk) 23:05, 1 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Most web sources are either signed or from reputable media (such as NME). One exception is the "Reunited" article at http://www.superseventies.com/1979_6singles.html, which has some unique (on the web) facts, such as a quote from Barker on breaking up the group, but is unsigned and overall seems like a verbatim copy of some uncited print article. The text does confirm NME's report about the importance of Kapralik in the early years, as well Barker's stage name Day. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.195.76.34 (talk) 23:22, 1 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
