"Gay for the cribs!!!" - Piers .. seen em 4 times to date :-)

This isn't the Crib's website, I suggest a re-styling of the opening paragraph for less bias and more accuracy

The Cribs from Wakefield
Surely the Cribs are from Netherton? Yorkshire Post Wakey Express Wouldn't "Netherton, near Wakefield" be more appropriate if this is correct? Behind The Wall Of Sleep 10:16, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Cribs promo.jpg
Image:Cribs promo.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 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 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.

Johnny Marr
He was in the members section, when he only worked in the studio with them for a week (unless there is something i missed, but i don't think so) Ianbittiner (talk) 21:29, 27 January 2008 (UTC)


 * No I think this is true, I read in NME a couple of weeks back a short interview with them were they said that they now considerd Mr Marr a full time member.

cribsmas
over christmas the cribs played all of thier albums through over 3 days called the 3 days of cribsmas, is this worthy of going in the article —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.29.41.236 (talk) 20:21, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Genre Discussion
I think they nicely fit in the post-punk revival tag as for various stylistical similarities in sound and image with other members of the scene as The Strokes, The Futureheads and Maxïmo Park. But I don't know if I'm wrong about them fitting on this tag. —Preceding unsigned comment added by The-15th (talk • contribs) 00:25, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Line Up
"They met at Ossett School" did they, they are all brothers aren’t they? are you saying that they hadn't chanced to bump into each other until they went to school, I find this pretty hard to believe especially considering that two of them are twins.

POV
Unfortunately the comment above is rather typical of the fancruft claptrap in the article. Consider - These shows held many potential problems for a band playing in front of an incredibly partisan audience, but The Cribs proved their mettle, sticking to their guns by fearlessly chastising the crowd for being 'part-time punks', and lamenting that "If this is what punk-rock means today then you should all be ashamed". Can someone kindly reduce the hyperbole, and stick to verifiable facts. Thank you,

Unreferenced/POV/Original Research
I have added several citiation needed tags to the article, as though the section are plasuable they are unreferenced. A good article should cite their sources.

I have also added a original research/unverified claim box to the top of the article. As some of the POV stuff probably falls into this description.

The article really needs a radical re-write, which I may aewttmpt in due course. It seems to be completely neglected. Even the new realease info was put in slapdash (it was under live performances). --Footix2 (talk) 13:47, 30 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Within a day an anonymous user has removed the tags, despite this discussion. --Footix2 (talk) 12:43, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

b sides
i remeber there being a list of b sides on this page.... i dunno why someone took them off, they are loads of them. only right they should be included — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.86.125.142 (talk) 18:50, 1 June 2011 (UTC)

Discography section?
The discography section is getting quite large now would it be a good idea to start a discography page for the band? OBLIVIUS (talk) 23:52, 1 December 2020 (UTC)
