American English by the way. I am not going to go on a debate about this like I had with 2 other users because it is no longer worth it. Most people do not know how to use collective nouns correctly and they think they should use plural because the name of a band is plural. Whatever their names are, they are still one entity. I hope you will learn this when you get to college. English can be complex and not everyone is familiar with complex rules in the English language. I don't use sloppy English and that was an insult. If you must know, I am a copyeditor of a local newspaper and I had consulted with my former college English professor and she confirmed the usage is indeed correct with regards to bands having plural names (they are still one entity <--- singular). Yes the usage is rather odd to you and some people, but is indeed correct with the rules (most people aren't aware of this). I don't expect you to understand this. There are band articles that I have not touch that use "Nine Inch Nails is," etc. I am not the only one using "sloppy" English as you would say. Very few people know how to use this correctly. Maybe you should consult this with your English teacher once you return to school (if you haven't already done so) and make sure you let them know that these are band names. --

1990 I got in 1995, so I don't have a proof to give you, just my memories.... Still, I can tell you in those days the albums used to be very underground and they were usually found before they were officially launched. I know you think the official launch and release dates are the same, but to give an example, The
Chronic was released in early september 1992, but it was launched in late november that same year. The same goes for Straight outta Compton... So it is just a couple of months what we are discussing about. At the light of the proofs you might have your copy which says 1989 while I have a tape that says 1990, in this matters It is you who has the reason... but be BOLD in identifying your sources, because I was listenting to that album When you had not been born (if your personal data is to be believed). To conclude, for now, Let it 1989.

the United States". Do you disagree with this? Do you understand what I am trying to explain to you regarding band names? It is okay for you or anyone to not be familiar with all the rules and usage in
English (no one is expected to know all of them and some are very tricky like the case of band having plural names—yet they are still a single entity and therefore must use singular). Some rules are weird and don't make sense. Remember humans make rules—they don't have to make sense. Do your own research/look into things closely before you call someone's corrections "sloppy".
327:
so we should use "Mr. Williams were"? Band names are the same! Not everyone on here know how to write correctly. My usage is no where near "sloppy." I also don't appreciate that you are wiki stalking me on here either. I am not the only person on here that will correct to "XXXXs was" or "XXXXs is". As far as blink-182, it is correct to say "blink-182 is" and I would never change it to "blink-182 are". You are already accusing me of editing articles that I have not because they are already correct. Go ask your
English teacher when you return to school.
623:. If you show your anger to them, they might dig in their heels and become more stubborn (and your anger may make you become more stubborn too). The differences in wording aren't really that major, there ought to be some compromise wording that everyone can accept (it's not like this is an article about Israeli-Palestinian disputes or some other major controversial subject). You can try

happy with how little info was on this site when I came upon it a day ago... I've been a fan of this band for 10 years now, and after viewing the one they have built for Nine Inch Nails... I thought this one needed to be redone. Hopefully people will appreciate me completely redoing the biography from scratch -- I think it is 10 times better now.
605:
You shouldn't have let the anon upset you... he really should have worked with you to come up with suitable wording instead of just reverting.

I explained on one of the talk pages that I rediected them because they were either utterly unencyclopedic, unsourced tripe, or basically just saying "So and so is a memebr of this band" which the redirect makes abundantly clear.

Dear Alex, About the release date for this album there has always been a kind of discrepancy. I remember having in late 1988 a copy of that album, Still, it was not legal as it was a tape a friend's older brother copied to me .. whatever, I don't have a copy of the album on CD, just an old tape from

Let say your name is Alex Adams. If we were you use this in a sentence, it would be, "Alex Adams was a skateboarder" not "Alex Adams were a skateboarder". If you were to form a band and call it "Alex Adams," the sentence would be "Alex Adams is an
American rock band" or "The Alex Adams band is from

For example, Williams is a last name. The correct usage would be "Mr. Williams was at the meeting" not "Mr. Williams were at the meeting." Mr. Williams (even though the last name has "s" does not mean it is plural). Mr. Williams is one person or do you argue with me that since his last name has "s"
312:
I didn't change blink-182 to "blink-182 are" or "Green Day are". Those articles have "blink-182 is" and "Green Day is" and they are correct so I did not change them. If you were to do some research, however, "Green Day are" would be correct in
British English (which I don't support). I am a speaker

AMG is contradicting itself because the text in the article itself says 1986. 1990 may have been a reissue date for the CD version as that title first came out on vinyl only in '86. The three songs on it are three songs that first appeared only on the cassette and CD versions of

He just pulled the same stunt with me. I deleted one of his erroneous and nonsensical subimissions and he reverted it as "vandalism." If he keeps this sort of thing up, soon we won't have to worry about him anymore.
