 * Ignore that, seems to be working fine now, I put it back. Appeared as the code with if statements and all sorts of gubbins. How odd. kylet 10:33, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

Can someone put in a sentence to say approximately how many of their songs are in the English language and how many in Welsh ? Johncmullen1960 08:07, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:EqualCurse.jpg
Image:EqualCurse.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 Wikipedia articles 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 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 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.BetacommandBot 04:17, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

Collaborations

 * "The Ballad of Tom Jones" - Space with Cerys of Catatonia - 1998 - #4
 * "Baby, It's Cold Outside" - Tom Jones and Cerys Matthews - 1999 - #17
 * "Cyclops Rock" - They Might Be Giants featuring Cerys Matthews - featured on the album 'Mink Car' 2001 (album track)

This section (moved from the article) seems to be more about Cerys Matthews than the band. --Northernhenge (talk) 22:20, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

POV
The article currently contains the following, clearly biased comments: ''Catatonia deliberately tried to make their songs accessible to a broad audience, while at the same time not shying away from original, experimental, or even potentially abrasive sounds. The result was a mix of hooky pop and underground indie rock. Their songs are characterized by clever lyrics and Matthews' enticing, raspy, prominently Welsh accented vocals, which made her something of a sex symbol.''

I suggest this needs either referencing or removing.

Dead from the waist down
A reference to A Grammarian's Funeral by Robert Browning? "He settled Hoti's business let it be! Properly based Oun Gave us the doctrine of the enclitic De, Dead from the waist down."

Post-Britpop
I strongly believe Catatonia are part of the post-Britpop era and not the Britpop era. Britpop came to an end in 1997. Catatonia came to prominence in 1998, when Britpop died, and post-Britpop began, much like with Embrace. Therefore, they should be listed as a post-Britpop act, and not a Britpop act.

 * The only thing that really matters is whether or not your addition of post-britpop is reliably sourced.  Rob van  vee  18:56, 10 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Hence my reverting several of your other edits!  Rob van  vee  19:14, 10 January 2019 (UTC)
