Semi-protected edit request on 8 February 2018[edit]

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

For the line:

In 2006, the band toured extensively in Europe and North America with their new guitarist, Ben Christo, formerly of UK punk/metal band AKO.

Add hyperlink to "Ben Christo" as a page is now active for him. Audrovia (talk) 23:43, 8 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The Head & star is WRONG[edit]

The picture captioned "The Sisters of Mercy logo, used by the band throughout their history" with the head facing to the right is wrong. The logo on the bands merchandise and records faces to the left. You've just caused some guy on facebook to get the wrong logo tattooed on his hand FFS!!

Hi there. I think you may be looking for the Sisters of Mercy article. This article is about a rock band. A really, really good rock band, but not one that has much to do with the Catholic Church. CAVincent (talk) 02:44, 14 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Line up changes[edit]

At the moment things appear to be in a state of flux and who beside Ben Christo and Eldritch is in the band at this stage remains unclear. Until we have some sort of statement at the end of this tour (probably) I would suggest monitoring the events closely before making any additions. Karst (talk) 12:14, 16 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Outdated URL[edit]

The official website link is broken in the band's details box, and cannot currently be edited due to semi-protected status. Note the difference between the link as displayed, which does not lead to a site, and the full URL which is https://www.the-sisters-of-mercy.com/. Metlurg (talk) 20:41, 9 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Should be fixed now. Thanks for the catch! CAVincent (talk) 21:37, 9 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
