Talk:Third Day

link question / proposal
I'd like to propose inserting at the top of this article
 * For the Wisconsin musical group Gomers, see The Gomers

as on The Gomers page, this is at the top helping direct people here:
 * For the fan club family of the band Third Day, see Gomers

i hope this would be satisfactory? Bifftar (talk) 21:00, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

The first person is inapropriate for an encylopedia article and some of the explanation are unclear. I will attempt to correct this. 24.137.78.34 01:21, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Before you work too hard, it may make sense to revert back to the May 5 version of the page...At that point it was in pretty good shape. -Rholton 01:31, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Dang, I didn't check that. Oh well it's mostly done now. Except for that bit about Gomers. I don't really think the whole long story is aproptiate, it sounds a bit like a sermon, not an article, but I'd like some one else's opinion who knows more about the band to see if they can improve it more consrructively. The best I could do has been done. 24.137.78.34 15:25, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

I don't know the band well, but I can tell that the Gomers section needs a major overhaul to begin to meet wikipedia standards. Someone should tag this page... I don't know how. I think this page should be reverted to the May 5 version, bat that's going pretty far back, so I thought I should ask if anyone has (reasonable) problems with that? --TorriTorri 05:16, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm a fan of the band, but I think the current version lacks NPOV. Reads like a word-by-word promotional excerpt from their webpage. Thief12 14:06, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

Proposed Revision
Awards; 2004: The LP Wire was nominated for Best Rock Gospel Album of the Year but did not win. (Audio Adrenaline won for Worldwide)(source: CNN) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Booradley7 (talk • contribs).

Proposed Deletion
I received a message saying that this article was proposed for deletion, yet I don't see the reasons for this. The article was subject to several edits ending up in a POV version that seemed lifted from their webpage (as stated in the above comments) but I think I did a decent cleanup of it. Any words about this? Thief12 18:01, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

Cleanup Tag
I've just added a tag to this article marking it as essay-like. I don't want to edit it myself, as I don't have any knowledge of the sector. However, it needs some serious re-writing to make it comply with Wikipedia's standards. Phrases such as "We appreciate Brad’s many contributions" that have been lifted from a blog make up large parts of the Members section, which potentially contravenes the copyright rules of the site. Much of what has been lifted from other sites is unecessary and doesn't illustrate any point that cannot be made by rephrasing. Other sections, such as "the worship portion of the concert was becoming more "powerful"" seem to quote a source that is not cited. The history sections seems to have been written by someone either in the band, or involved closely with them, and is written as an emotive biography, rather than an encyclopaedic account. If someone who has knowledge of the band already would be able to perform a cleanup, it'd be much appreciated. drewmunn (talk) 16:05, 6 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Interesting. You also added some dangling bold text as well. I removed both, however the editor who has done a lot of work on this article recently should see this discussion. --
 * I've reinstated the tag, but not the text, seeing as that was the overall aim. The text was a result of a a misplaced tap of my iPad when I was editing, but the tag remains. It should be kept until the article has been edited to meet Wikipedia's standards. Until then, it invites other editors to help clean up the article. drewmunn (talk) 20:42, 6 November 2012 (UTC)
 * I understand how the tags work. You don't understand who will be editing the article though. It's not a big deal either way. --Walter Görlitz (talk) 22:03, 6 November 2012 (UTC)
 * I don't mind who edits the article, and I don't really need to know to place the tag. I placed it there as a visual prompt for people who know more than me about the subject to edit the article, as well as to mark it in the cleanup category for editors to find. I don't mean to demean you by describing above how to tag is used, I wrote it to clear up the facts for other, potentially newer, editors who do not understand.

What Happened There!?
Why does Wiki show that I made the change TO thrash metal when it was me who reverted the change? That makes no sense. I noticed someone had changed the genre from Christian Rock to Thrash Metal, and all I did was revert the change, with the comment "Uh... No" and for some reason, it makes it look like i was the guilty party. UtahCountryBoy (talk) 20:55, 31 May 2017 (UTC)
 * while says "Reverted 1 edit by 71.75.51.112 (talk) to last revision by UtahCountryBoy" (emphasis mine). Can you provide a diff that shows you were reverted or made a change to thrash? Walter Görlitz (talk) 21:08, 31 May 2017 (UTC)

That's just it. It makes me look like the bad guy. But all I did was change it back to Christian Rock. I don't know why it shows the edit to Thrash was mine. It wasn't. UtahCountryBoy (talk) 18:24, 1 June 2017 (UTC)
 * No it does not make you look like the bad guy. It makes it look like you had the last good revision. There is no edit that shows you to have added that genre. You're reading it wrong. Walter Görlitz (talk) 19:30, 1 June 2017 (UTC)
