As far as I can find the Flamingos never had a UK no1 single with Boogaloo Party. The song got to number 29 in 1969, but that was it.--158.143.151.251 23:26, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:FlamingosOriginal.jpg
Image:FlamingosOriginal.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 09:48, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

They are called the Flamingos
User:David100b, no one is saying they are called just "Flamingos". They are called "the Flamingos", which is written "The Flamingos" at the beginning of a sentence, or anywhere else where a capital T is necessary. Customarily lowercasing the "the" makes no difference to their name, it’s just a convention that publishers follow, with the Flamingos, the Pelicans, the Emus, the Ostriches… Rothorpe (talk) 22:43, 15 April 2015 (UTC) Rothorpe Perhaps it's a difference in UK and US English, but consider The to be their first name and Flamingos to be their last name. That's the title of the group. The trademark says The Flamingos. No matter where the title of the group shows up in the structure of a sentence, you still call them The Flamingos.

 * No, it's not a matter of British v American. Have a look at this page from The New York Times, which, as it happens, mentions the Flamingos, as well as the Moonglows and the Cadillacs: http://www.nytimes.com/1993/01/17/arts/pop-music-the-durability-of-doo-wop.html.

 * I see you have reverted again, mentioning the Chicago Manual of Style and your willingness to follow its recommendation. Here’s the relevant page from there (you have to click on 'answer'): http://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/qanda/data/faq/topics/CapitalizationTitles.html?page=1 "When the name of a band requires the definite article, lowercase it in running text: When I first saw the Who…" Plus two further examples; that's as clear as can be that the CMS, like the NYT, agrees with the Wikipedia Manual of Style.
