Talk:The Detroit Cobras

It seems to me that the article, at least the beginning, sounds too much like some kind of promo or ad for the bad, as opposed to an objective description. I dunno, just me.
 * Nope, not just you. Reads like an enthusiastic review, not an encyclopedia entry. Definitely needs re-wording. Closenplay 20:31, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

Fixed any praises that might be present in the description...along with Closenplay's misspelling of "encyclopedia" -CountStyrofoam
 * Thanks for catching that. I alway get confused by that whole "i before d except after e" rule. Closenplay 10:55, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:7Pieces.jpg
Image:7Pieces.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.

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.

Some Sources
I noticed this article is undersourced and I went looking. I'm dropping them here. Most are old (2006-09) but would still be worth adding.

End of band?
Not sure what this person’s connection is to the band, but pretty presumptuous to be stating that the singers death “effectively ending the band” on the day of her death. Don’t you think that’s a decision for the band, and not you to make? 2600:1012:B010:D138:E050:DFDA:9ACE:4FC5 (talk) 07:25, 16 January 2022 (UTC)


 * The band basically had only one other permanent member (guitarist Mary Ramirez) and Nagy had a very distinctive voice and personality. It seems hard to imagine the band continuing without Nagy, but there seems to have been no announcement that the band has ended, either effectively or ineffectively.

Cause of death
Is there a cause of death for Nagy? Sylvain1972 (talk) 23:03, 6 February 2023 (UTC)
