Hi. 'Ranking Junior' farwards to this page, but it's a different guy, albeit his son. Next time someone edits, could they change that please? Ta. 86.134.126.234 ( talk) 12:57, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
Here we go again with this nonsense, apparently. Again, MOS:THEMUSIC (the result of a long and protracted RfM), says not to capitalize the definite article mid-sentence when it's part of the band's official name. It even gives the helpful examples of "the Beatles" and "the Velvet Underground". In a manner that personifies the perfunctory insanity that is en-Wiki, I was reverted, citing the very fucking guideline that instructs us to use a lowercase "t". Now, I'm going to make everyone proud, and wait a full 24 hours before reverting this, but why should that even be necessary? Just fix your mistake. Joefromrandb ( talk) 22:19, 1 April 2019 (UTC)
This article refers to The Beat's 1983 breakup, but I heard on the BBC Radio 4 programme Last Word tonight (7 of April 2019) that the Beat split up in 1984. Does any one know which is correct? Vorbee ( talk) 19:57, 7 April 2019 (UTC)
