Recent changes[edit]
@WaltCD: Please can you explain yesterday's major changes to this article further? Making it 13,515 bytes smaller obviously does much more than changing the treatment of "The". The diff is so complex that I can't easily see what's happened. The introduction of links to disambiguation pages and the removal of the short description makes me wonder if the edit may be based on an older version of the article before those improvements were make. Any explanation would help us to understand why to keep the new version. Thanks, Certes (talk) 08:42, 7 June 2023 (UTC)
- My apologies. It would appear the link I copied from further down on the page was incorrect and may have even further changed the page.
- I was simply making the edit the name of the band is "Eagles" and not "The Eagles" which further down the page illustrates (hence why I copied the unknown-at-the-time outdated link confirming as much).
- Many other Wikipedia pages about single name bands do not refer to them as "The ..." including Heart, Bauhaus, Queen, America, Kansas, Orleans, Boston, Sparks, and many more. WaltCD (talk) 22:08, 19 July 2023 (UTC)
- I'm confident my change(s) were to simply remove "The". However, it's certainly possible an older version may have played a part. For that, I apologize. WaltCD (talk) 15:37, 13 December 2023 (UTC)
@EPBeatles: @Btheweeknd: @Garagepunk66: Thank you for your recent edits. Do you think that this edit accidentally reverted us to an old version of the article and that many of the subsequent edits are restoring, piecemeal, the good version before that edit? If so then we should probably just revert to before that edit. Certes (talk) 23:08, 8 June 2023 (UTC)
- Hi, Certes. I don't know what the others (WaltCD included) have to say, but agree we should go back to the edit before WaltCD's. The citations got mangled a bit but there are many other significant changes, all undiscussed. In fact, I think WaltCD's 6 June edit took us to something very nearly a version of July 2019, the main differences being the hyphenation of "access-date" and mention of Deacon Frey. I suggest we simply revert to the edit before WaltCD's and tweak Deacon Frey, et al., as needed. — JohnFromPinckney (talk / edits) 12:37, 9 June 2023 (UTC)
- Hi Certes and JohnFromPinckney, I also agree to go back to that previous edit. Then, we can tweak what little has to be done from there and fix most of the issues that the article currently has. Is this enough users agreeing to work for WP: CONSENSUS?
- Thanks, EPBeatles (talk) 13:17, 9 June 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks for the confirmations. I've restored the 25 May 2023 version ready for further improvement. Certes (talk) 13:30, 9 June 2023 (UTC)
