after which McElhone formed Texas, a group which would have intermittent UK success but is largely unknown in the U.S.

That's a bit US-centric, isn't it? Would it be more accurate to say 'intermittent UK success bit is largely unknown outside Britain'? sheridan 20:59, 2004 Dec 21 (UTC)

You realise the band is called Texas? 80.4.202.8 (talk) 02:05, 8 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Texas are Scottish and named after the film Paris, Texas. 92.0.42.40 (talk) 15:19, 20 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

YouTube links[edit]

This article is one of thousands on Wikipedia that have a link to YouTube in it. Based on the External links policy, most of these should probably be removed. I'm putting this message here, on this talk page, to request the regular editors take a look at the link and make sure it doesn't violate policy. In short: 1. 99% of the time YouTube should not be used as a source. 2. We must not link to material that violates someones copyright. If you are not sure if the link on this article should be removed, feel free to ask me on my talk page and I'll review it personally. Thanks. ---J.S (t|c) 04:29, 8 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes On Merging[edit]

I think my article and the main "Altered Images" article being merged, which already appears to have happened, is a good idea. A deletion of my existing article would be fine with me. It works better as a part of the "Altered Images" article, as the article on just the song is too short. --Putnam269 (talk) 00:49, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merge please. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 61.7.186.232 (talk) 14:32, 2 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

agreed, someone please merge! Feudonym (talk) 12:09, 27 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose if someone were to expand the song properly, which was a fairly successfully charted single, both the song and the band articles would be big enough to survive on their own. My 80s pop knowledge is sadly not backed up by Reliable Sources on my bookshelf though. Casliber (talk · contribs) 21:11, 20 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Yes please merge. the song article is not only short, it's so small as to practically not exist. What's the reason to think that there are sources out there that make it notable enough for its own article? MartinPoulter (talk) 16:51, 26 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Dead Pop Stars[edit]

I am going to edit the sentence which includes "but badly timed in its release the day of John Lennon's death" which claims 'Dead Pop Stars' was released on the day Lennon died but he in fact died in December 1980 and the song, according to Discogs, was actually released on 27 Feb 1981. With reference to the Guinness Book of Hit Singles, the song first charted in the UK on 28 Mar 1981 which ties in with the Discogs release date. If anyone can find a more concrete reference proving it was initially released on the day Lennon died then please revert this edit. Solatha (talk) 15:54, 27 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Straight away Discogs is not a reliable source. Clare Grogan suggests that "[it got pulled on the day it was released because that was the day John Lennon died]"; possibly 27 February was when it was rereleased, but you'll want a better source.--Laun chba ller 16:12, 27 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
