Talk:Everything but the Girl

Ellen sentence clarity
"As evidence of their popularity, on the television show Ellen, she started a short-lived band with Bonnie Raitt and Aaron Neville which they called "Everything and the Girl"."
 * Who is "she" in this sentence? Is "she" Ellen DeGeneres?  If so, "Ellen," here is the title of a show, not the name of a person and cannot serve as the antecedent of the pronoun "she."  Since I do not know, I cannot clarify, but a user who can, should.--128.186.13.112 13:32, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm with you - entire sentence removed pending its clarity and regardless mentioning "Ellen" is irrelevant when determining their popularity (sales and chart history confirms this already)- Gl e n 02:52, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

This is definitely not finished, what have they been doing the last 10 years?

Capitalization of the band
Ok, Manual of Style (trademarks) says to "[f]ollow standard English text formatting and capitalization rules even if the trademark owner encourages special treatment". So in the case of Everything But The Girl vs. Everything But the Girl vs. Everything but the Girl, I have determined the last to be the most correct. To cite myself, I give you section 47c of The Little, Brown Handbook Brief 2nd Edition: "capitalize all the words in a title except the following: articles (a, an, the); to in infinitives; and connecting words (prepositions and conjunctions) of fewer than five letters. Capitalize even these short words if they are the first or last word in a title or when they fall after a colon or semicolon." So there you have it.--SeizureDog 08:17, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Does anyone know why EBTG is flagged as part of the VG project? This seems incorrect.
I was going to kill that, but I will post about it on the project board, instead. sinneed (talk) 23:58, 10 December 2008 (UTC) On review, the tag was added by a bot. Killing it. sinneed (talk) 23:59, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Are they video game musicians? There seems to be a category indicating this. - The New Age Retro Hippie used Ruler! Now, he can figure out the length of things easily. 00:03, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I see nothing on short searching to indicate so. I think this flag was in reference to a VG that never came to be.  In any event, I added the note on the flag removal at the project talk page.  If someone knows a reason for it to be here, I am sure they will click undo on it. :)  Cheers.  sinneed (talk) 00:48, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

Template
I created a template as many bands have one but EBTG didn't it, could have more added to it but I've at least started it half the battle. hope people are happy with it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Brydo16 (talk • contribs) 21:12, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

Discography
Created a full discography page in line with other music articles on wikipedia and moved all to that page but left mention of studio albums not compilation on the main pageBrydo16 (talk) 00:27, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

Personal Life Info in Intro
The Paragraph:

"Watt and Thorn are also a couple; they are very private about their relationship and personal life. It was not a publicised fact for some time that they were a couple, or that they had married subsequently.[2] The duo have professed a strong desire to raise their three children with as much privacy as possible."

This doesn't really seem like info that should be included in the intro paragraph for the band's wiki page. It seems more appropriate for the personal life section of each artists respective page or a sub section later in this article, not really in the intro.71.190.182.22 (talk) 20:22, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

Something About This Sentence Is Wrong
"Thorn was also a member of the trio, Marine Girls, and Watt contributed a photograph to the cover of their first album, Lazy Ways"

Lazy Ways is Marine Girls' second album, so either he contributed a photo to their second album, or to their first album, Beach Party... 216.160.102.23 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 08:17, 26 July 2012 (UTC)

Citation for the name "EBTG"
In the little info panel someone's requested a citation for the band being known as EBTG. Well, how about the album cover for Walking Wounded? The Japanese, イービーティージー, reads EBTG phonetically. CrisH7 (talk) 15:55, 28 April 2020 (UTC)
