Small Faces v. The Small Faces discussion

The article is called The Small Faces. On all the group's album covers it's consistently printed Small Faces - i.e., no definite article; therefore, the article should be renamed. --82.9.118.74 15:01, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

I agree - not having a 'the' as opposed to so many of their contemparies was part of what was Small Faces Smurray22 22:53, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

I agree, normally written as just Small Faces. Sue Wallace 02:46, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Agree. Article should be changed to Small Faces with a re-driect. --Design 08:55, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

If I move the page to Small Faces will it auto re-direct, I'm not sure? ♥♪♫♥♪♫ 11:00, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

One interesting note, though...the "Sha La La La Lee" sleeve lists them as "The Small Faces," and while the Deram double-CD shows "Small Faces," the "Immediate Collection" box seems to make a specific point of using the article and never printing "Small Faces" without the "The." I have no idea where I saw this, but I seem to remember an interview with Steve which I read back in the '60s in which he said, with his usual humour, something to the effect that, "Yeh, Small Faces is what we are, The Small Faces is who we are." Not sure if this should enter into the discussion, since I have no idea what mag I saw it in. StavinChain 17:48, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

hmmmm.... interesting, I've never come across that article. In an interview in a Paolo Hewitt book, Marriott is directly quoted in an interview (1984); "They'd say whats the name of the group? - cos in those days it was a very heavy thing. I'd say (mumble) 'Small Faces', and they'd go. "what?... 'Small Faces'. And they'd go 'fuck off, you gotta be joking!" - no 'The'. ♥♪♫♥♪♫ 18:31, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

So is there a definite article or isn't there? Or does it vary from one paragraph to the next, as in the article? (For what it's worth, I remember a 'the'.) Rothorpe (talk) 16:01, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

Clen up v. Clean up

clen up this article; it is dirty as hell. I am not going to donate this year; it is totally rude to ask me for money when such articles are left around un-edited.

"clen" it up yourself, bud. You're just looking for an excuse not to pay.

OK, I'll bite: what needs cleaning? I don't see any problems other than insignificant grammatical issues. Specificity would be appreciated.

Discography

I moved the {{Small Faces}} template from the discography section to the page footer (its appropriate position), and I copied the discography part of that template in the discography section. I leaved the original wikitable code and format, but without the external border. Also, I inserted a {{Main}} template and I changed the See also section from 3rd to 2nd level. IMO, it's better to don't use wikitable, singles and live albums in that section, but I'm not a DELETIONIST! If you have some questions/problems, I'd like to help! —PJoe F.

Hi, didn't realise I hadn't put the discography template at the bottom of the page, thanks for moving it, I did delete the discography section, as it is in effect a duplicate of the information in the template. I hope to add some more info and general adds to this article soon so the extra space will be needed (just need to motivate myself). Sue Wallace (talk) 17:51, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

touring

I do not read anything on their touring through Europe. I know they did , in 1968 ... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Alcid (talk • contribs) 20:01, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

They toured Europe alot throughout their career not just 1968. Sue Wallace (talk) 09:12, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

I tought their touring was worth a few paragraphes Alcid (talk) 17:54, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, it is, didn't mean to sound like I didn't, they were very popular in Europe, esp. Germany and Sweden, I'm just thinking how to integrate it so that it flows nice. Sue Wallace (talk) 18:12, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Medieval re-enactment connection

Were they involved with the medieval reenactment scene?

Infobox

I'd like to tell that I cleaned the infobox as per infobox; "Past members of the group, listed in order of joining with no other notation than names.". The information added in the infobox earlier can be included in the body for sure with citing (WP:CITE) a reliable source (WP:RELIABLE). Cheers! ~ Elitropia (talk) 11:26, 26 January 2011 (UTC)

Referencing and cleaning

This article needs some work done. Okay, I first noticed the infobox and cleaned it. Now going through the article and I see it is lacking of references, and most of the existing ones are dead links. Also, it has original search and repeating facts. They need to be cleaned. I started to add reliable sources for the facts that are stated in the article and cleaning the dead links and for better flow, rearranging the sections, too. ~ Elitropia (talk) 15:34, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

There Are But Four Small Faces

Do we need a separate instance of this in the discography section when it's a US release of a British album? I concede it may merit its own section in the entry for "Small Faces" (as it has a different track listing) but I don't believe it's necessary to include foreign market releases in this section, which (from what I understand) is reserved for canonical releases. --Matt Westwood 06:44, 3 April 2012 (UTC)

Co-wrote with who?

This sentence does not make it clear who Ian McLagan co-wrote with - ". . . Swinging Sixties instrumental "Wide Eyed Girl on the Wall" and "Donkey Rides, A Penny, A Glass", co-written by Ian McLagan." I would assume Marriot/Lane, but clarity would be better than assumption. Anyone have this info who can do the edit? Thoughts?THX1136 (talk) 17:14, 5 May 2014 (UTC)
