I honestly don't believe that "Steve doesn't have a favourite breed of dog, but if pressed he'd probably choose fish and chips" is suitable content for an encyclopedia - perhaps it could remain on the Band's own website? Since that proved to be most of the content of the "Members" section, I have deleted it, as the names of the members of this band can be found at the top of the article.

The girl group is in the template and categories of this article, yet not mentioned in the body of the article.

This line "He was a member of Gloucestershire Youth Jazz Orchestra with Alex Macdougall (Dip ABRSM)."

Query spelling of McGuiness
McGuinness is the normal spelling of the name, and McGuiness one among many common misspellings. Both are quite common on the web in mentions of the band, and the official band site doesn't say.

This is VERY true. NOTHING about the third album has been leaked nor confirmed by the band or the record label themselves.

James Kevin Noah Carlos McGuiness (Jay) was born in Newark 24th July 1990 along with his un-identical twin brother, 5 minutes apart, Tom. He has two biological brothers Luke and Dexter, along with a biological sister Debra. However Jay's parents, when he was just turning thirteen, made the conscious, selfless, decision to expand their family and adopt an African American child. Upon arrival of the birth of Jay's new adopted brother (Winston Wiley-McGuiness) Jay led a new path of entertainment due to the pressures at home. He started to attend a Tap Dancing facility where he experimented with the male sex, in order to figure out which path to take in life. However after a year or two he decided that he prefers the female genitala. At the age of 16 Jay lost his virginity (not of the anal kind) to his first long-term girlfriend Lucinda Bartholmude Cumberpatch. However in 2008 they decided to go part ways due to their interests colliding (she prefered the female sex organs) and Jay's auditioning of a new band. In 2009 the band formed and released their first chart topping single, All Time Low, in 2010. Following their years of success the band proceeded to dominate the world. There has been accusations of Jay developing a relationship with the bands only homosexual member Nathan Sykes, however the rumors were promptly denied. More recently there have been worries that Jay is frustrated and would like to create another life. He has been making frequent comments on babies and wanted a 'band baby call Arthur', which could then refer back to his relationship with Lucinda as new information came to light that her and her partner, Shaniqua, have adopted a baby from Uganda. Worries were formed when he made the comment 'it's like we're setting fire to babies or anything', which resulted in a restraining order stating he is not allowed within 100 feet of her, her partner, or her child. We are sure that Jay will stick to this order and hopefully find his own girlfriend - or boyfriend - to settle down with and have a baby. Jay is very excited for the release of their new album 'Word of Mouth' to be released on September 16th, and their upcoming world tour, where we are sure he will be looking for Mrs/Mr right.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but there is no reliable confirmation that they have been dropped by their record label. I think it's premature to say that they have been dropped. Melonkelon (talk) 01:14, 17 December 2013 (UTC)

 * So since then band member Max George has said that they no longer have a label so this rumor was true after all. Should we mention this in the article?--  Krystaleen  07:36, 3 May 2014 (UTC)

Controversy Section
Random question, but how is that a controversy? It just simply says that the police spoke to the band, thats not a controversy at all, if that was the case, then every celeb in the world should say that "so and so were spoken to by the Police" on their wiki page. Just doesn't make sense, it adds nothing to the page, I would understand, if one or some or all of the band members were swearing at the police officer and/or the man who was soaked by the champagne bottle. Unless this is incomplete, it shouldn't be on here as it adds nothing and is most certainly not a controversy unless there was more to it after or if the band was charged and found guilty of doing that! But as far as I know, they haven't been charged and nothing happened (at least from what I read anyways) after that they were spoken to by the police.


 * I agree with what's been typed above me! It shouldn't be on here unless something more came about it, and as far as I'm concerned they were just spoken to and that was all!! That's not a controversy at all, it's sadly but true, what a majority of celebs go through all the time, every artist or 90% of them should then have a section called controversy where they were spoken to by the police! 216.167.239.216 (talk) 10:06, 27 February 2014 (UTC)


 * I'm guessing no one checks the talk pages? It's been since February since this was spoken about but no one had even replied back, kinda rude don't you think! Yea maybe you never check these but still whoever is in charge of this page should be checking this once or twice a week at least! But anyways, sorry if I sound rude don't mean to, but when someone asks a question (read above) it should be answered! 216.104.99.158 (talk) 07:08, 2 May 2014 (UTC)


 * Seems like a valid addition to me. The section does not focus on the being spoken to by police, but the reasoning behind it - throwing champagne out of the window, and subsequent complaint raised.
 * Nobody is in charge of this page - which goes against the core concepts of Wikipedia: "The encyclopedia anyone can edit".  If you feel so strongly about it, remove it, but be prepared to justify your actions - as it will probably be put back in again.  Chaheel Riens (talk) 09:46, 2 May 2014 (UTC)


 * Additional: Just noticed that the page is semi-protected due to constant vandalism.  If you want to edit it, you'll have to create an account.  No biggie.  Chaheel Riens (talk) 09:48, 2 May 2014 (UTC)

Where in the following (and yes I copied and pasted what is said in the section) does it say that the band (or a band member) threw a bottle? On 25 July 2013 the group was spoken to by police after champagne was thrown out of a hotel window, soaking poet Todd Swift. a police statement said "Police were called at around 12.20pm on Thursday, July 25, to a report of a man having been verbally threatened and having had a liquid substance thrown over him at a hotel in Marylebone." If you read closely, it doesn't say The Wanted threw a bottle, or a certain band member had done it. It just simply says there were spoken to, and like it said above in the talk section, every celeb should have this section then if they were simply just "spoken to" by the police! And nothing has been posted about the aftermath, and if I am correct, nothing else happened, so its not something that should be posted in my honest opinion ,I am not trying to start an argument or anything like that, so I do not mean to offend in any way shape or form, but what is the point of posting this on their page, when it was nothing. Nothing happened, no charged were pressed, no one was taken to jail, nothing happened, there for it shouldn't be on this page at all! But again, thats my opinion, and your right its no biggie, as I know it will be deleted later on down the road, (whether its months, years or whatever, it will be removed) as it adds nothing to this page, it's just gossip if you ask me! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.138.180.140 (talk) 05:04, 3 May 2014 (UTC)


 * Mayhap it is gossip, but it was commented on by a reliable source, and the entire incident shows up as a blip against their clean-cut portrayal in teh media. As I said above, the focus is not on the aftermath - whether anything happened or not - but that fact that it happened in the first place and a complaint was made.  How common such an escapade is in the pop world is not for us to speculate.  Also, if you read closely, I don't say that a bottle was thrown either, (nor does the article text) so I'm not sure what your point is there.  The article - and source it draws from - very carefully and clearly states that the object thrown was a liquid, and refutes the claim that it was a glass (not a bottle).
