"New Wave Yacht Rock"

Is this a thing? The List of yacht rock artists article divides the list into classic and new wave yacht rock artists, and includes Fleetwood Mac and The Eagles in the latter category.

Does this make any sense to anybody? I'm old enough to remember when New Wave Music was new (early 80s) and it makes no sense to me. A brief search turns up basically nothing other than one article that uses the term rather loosely. Mr. Swordfish (talk) 19:45, 9 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Dispute about the term underground for NWOBHM bands

A dispute arose on Talk:New wave of British heavy metal about the use of the term underground associated with a few British bands, which had limited notoriety and chart success during the New wave of British heavy metal of the 80s. Comments and contributions to the stalled debate would be much appreciated. Lewismaster (talk) 19:37, 24 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Foals (band) a British or English band?

Hello there. I have started a discussion for the article Foals (band) on their origin, and there is a bit of edit warring from an IP regarding the lead section on whether the band is British or if they are English. I have started a discussion on the article's talk page for this thread: Talk:Foals (band)#British or English?. I would like to see some discussion to see if a consensus could be reached on whether they are British or English. The categories say they are an English band, but IP (who refuses to communicate in talk discussion) persists that it is a British band via their edit summaries. So far, there's been no communication from the IP and users I have pinged. Also, adding this to other related WikiProject talk pages for their input.

I'm having similar issues with Deep Purple which formed as Roundabout in London in 1967. An IP keeps reverting my edits without discussion and despite my sources.

Anyway, Foals were formed in Oxford in England, and therefore they are an English band - simple as that! They could be considered British generally, but specifically when referring to country of origin, it is England and therefore they're English. I am English, and we would certainly not say British. Hope that helps Deep Purple Fan (talk) 21:43, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Whitesnake

Needed opinion at Talk:Whitesnake#Lead and else about mentioning "Love Ain't No Stranger" in the lead, and at Talk:Whitesnake#Lead and else#Quote about including a quote/quote box about 2003 live performance. Miki Filigranski (talk) 09:26, 21 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Deep Purple origin discussion/edit wars

Ok, hopefully i can get some clarity or discussion from here. There has been an edit war between myself and an IP address constantly changing the origin of Deep Purple, as in the place where they started. In the book, Deep Purple: A Matter of Fact by Jerry Bloom https://www.wymeruk.co.uk/webshop/books/rock/deep-purple/deep-purple-a-matter-of-fact-jerry-bloom/ It is pointed out that the band forming in Hertford, Hertfordshire is an urban myth. Sources cite that the band's origin begins in 1967 as Roundabout in Jon Lord's flat in Kensington, London. The MK1 line-up came together at Deeves Hall, South Mimms in Hertfordshire near the M25, about 15 miles away from Hertford. MK2 classic line-up came together in Ealing, West London in 1969. The band's origin starts in London in 1967, not Hertford, not were the band ever based there. Yes, there are sources that state the band formed in Hertford, but all of them are news articles that have copied information directly from the main Wikipedia entry, which leads to question the reliability of said source? My issue is that every time I add London as an origin of Deep Purple in 1967 where Lord, Blackmore and Paice came together, it is instantly reverted back to Hertford, despite adding several sources. I am following protocol and have requested it be discussed on the Deep Purple Tak section, but no luck. Where do I stand, can anyone back me up or at least help me find a common ground where I can include London as a place of origin? What is considered a reliable source anyway, if newspaper or blog articles can be used that have copied and pasted info direct from Wiki which is then used as a source to back it up? My intention is not to add erroneous information, but to add London as a place of origin for the band, which is cited by several sources. Deep Purple Fan (talk) 21:39, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Good article reassessment for Hey Now (Tantric song)

I have significantly improved the article "Hey Now" including major structural cleanup and removal of unreliable sources. The edits also improve neutrality, sourcing, and formatting.

Given these improvements, I believe the article now meets B-Class criteria and would appreciate a reassessment. Please let me know if any further refinements are needed for an upgrade Bruteforce7700 (talk) 10:13, 16 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
