Format needs work.

The Outfield Live was released as a free download (see their website - info still there), not for purchase. [1] Also, does anyone know when and where this was recorded? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.18.129.128 (talk) 02:08, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

New Wave?[edit]

Ah, sorry, but no. I have have made this change. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ttenchantr (talk • contribs) 07:51, 9 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Photo ID[edit]

Boy, I swear this is a promo photo from the Voices of Babylon era, featuring then-drummer Alan Jackman in the middle. Can someone provide evidence otherwise?Bawtyshouse 02:34, 16 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

swiped from AMG[edit]

OMG, this entire bio is just cut and pasted from allmusic.com. Let's work on taking the basic info and making a new article.Bawtyshouse 02:40, 16 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Their allusion to Baseball[edit]

Is there anymore information on the Outfield's outright allusion to American Baseball? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.240.63.239 (talk) 07:38, 21 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I heard a story on NPR that said that the group's name is a reference to the outermost area in a cricket field. Then again, I could be wrong seeing as how their original name was the (tongue-in-cheek) "Baseball Boys". "The Outfield" was suggested by their American manager.Bayowolf (talk) 22:43, 30 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Outfield.jpg[edit]

Image:Outfield.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 ensure 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 lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Diamond Days[edit]

The article states that Diamond Days was recorded in 1991. However, I bought the tape in November, 1990. Furthermore, the article for that album states that it was released 30 October, 1990.Bayowolf (talk) 15:52, 30 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
