Talk:Starsailor (band)

PR
This article seems like fan praise instead of a clinical representation of facts. Lines like 'They just connect with people' seem like the author is part of the band's PR crew.

Copyvio
Parts of the "Recorded history" section is exactly identical to the biography at AMG, isn't that some kind of copyright infringment? 01:28, 20 October 2005 (UTC) [[User:Salmon|Salmon]

Band image
Could someone add an image of the band? The infobox is looking a bit odd without it.--MemeGeneScene 21:15, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Accusations of cock in Gallagher's mouth
"Gallagher had called the Starsailor singer a "cock" in an interview for NME magazine, something denied by the accused."

I'm confused: was Gallagher accused of calling Walsh a cock, an accusation that he denied; or did Walsh deny that he was a cock? Tsuguya (talk) 10:35, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Now biased against band .. ?
no longer fan praise, the article now seems partially very biased against the band.

the first line of the article suggests that they have lied about their roots; "although they claim to be a Wigan band, only one member is actually from the town."

Quotes such as "They played a concert in Wigan in April 2009 at the Tavern pub in front of just 200 - this was the first time they have actually played in the town," "[...] release dropped out of the Top 40 rather promptly," and "[...] which made the Top Ten (#9, the band's highest placing)" serve to further illustrate this bias. (Emphases mine)

These weasel words are unnecessary and do not serve to inform the reader.

I'm not a fan, but coming across the article, it's clear that a great bias against the band has been introduced since the claim that it is solely "fan praise." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.112.246.45 (talk) 21:52, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

I am a fan and I think Sinebot hit the nail on the head

what happened to the famous neutrality Wiki used to be praised so much for, this band is a legend and yes I understand this is my own opinion, the lyrics alone are brilliant

article claims: They are best known for their 2003 single "Silence Is Easy" ???
I'd argue Poor Misguided Fool and Alcoholic are their best known songs. Setenzatsu.2 (talk) 07:16, 16 October 2022 (UTC)
