Infobox genres

[edit]

@TheOnlyOne12: How are these genre changes not necessary? I added genres that are supported by reliable sources but I guess five is too many. Maybe we should go with four. I suggest cutting indie rock and just going with Britpop, alternative rock, pop rock, and neo-psychedelia. Bowling is life (talk) 22:24, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Bowling is life: How about this? I'd suggest reducing them down to four genres but restore rock and remove indie and pop rock. TheOnlyOne12 (talk) 19:54, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@TheOnlyOne12: I was thinking maybe we could go with Britpop, alternative rock, pop rock, and neo-psychedelia. Or I guess Rock, Britpop, alternative rock, and neo-psychedelia would work too. Either one would be better than what is included now. Bowling is life (talk) 06:19, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Rather than performing original research, we should point to reliable sources to determine which genres are most often associated with the band. Tkbrett (✉) 17:52, 17 September 2024 (UTC) Edit: I see these genres are sourced in the article's body, so scratch the stupid pointed remark at the start of my comment above. Still, I think we should find general sources here before changing the infobox, since those listed in the article are somewhat arbitrarily ordered. Tkbrett (✉) 17:58, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oasis Reunion Lineup

[edit]

I notice Bonehead keeps getting readded to the official member section despite the fact there's no official conformation on this and just speculation in the press, we never updated the Oasis page to say they were back together before it was officially confirmed, so why are we doing it with Bonehead? And if he's being added back to the official members section, then why isn't Gem as what's the difference other than Bonehead being specifically named in the press? Should we agree to keep it as just the Gallagher's until it's been officially confirmed by the band what the line up is? Edandoucho (talk) 09:24, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

yes, the official lineup should be listed at just the brothers until there is any announcement otherwise, I removed Bonehead and Gem from the official members timeline as they were in the touring members timeline (which matches up with what is known so far.

Jessica Greenfield? Russel Pritchard? There's really no confirmation they're gonna tour with Oasis, no names were given so far, this is just pure speculation. Bonehead and the High Flying Birds members should be removed from the touring member list and timeline until we get a proper confirmation. 190.21.40.6 (talk) 10:33, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
this isn't speculation, it has been confirmed, please read before you make comments like this TriPiece (talk) 04:58, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nothing has been confirmed by the band. Are you telling me Jessica Greenfield and Russell Pritchard are confirmed to be in the band? The "source" clearly says that Noel "has brought in some of his band", but we don't know the members yet. If you insist saying they're officially confirmed then show proof. 190.21.35.242 (talk) 05:28, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Change "Oasis are" to "Oasis is" as the band is singular 86.25.194.195 (talk) 20:12, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done We would say "Oasis is" if they were an American band because then we would have to write the article in American English. In American English, bands are treated as singular nouns. Oasis are a British band so we have to write the article in British English. In British English bands are treated as plural. Bowling is life (talk) 15:04, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Section heading

[edit]

Since there is a new section that starts in 2024, shouldn't the previous section's last year be changed?— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 18:36, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
