Does anyone know if the 1971 song "Dora the Female Explorer" is related to the current cartoon? -- Laualoha 19:38, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
It has to be said that the Stackridge live performances in the 70's were a sight to behold. Much mirth coupled with a high level of musical professionalism enjoyed by a partisan crowd. An evening of true entertainment that always finishing with a community singing of Slark. Happy days indeed. GrammarTick ( talk) 23:51, 24 February 2017 (UTC)

I inadvertently started a little editing war here recently by casually changing 'were' to 'was': a change I thought such an obvious improvement that it required no explanation. I then discovered that it seems to be controversial. Researching the subject a little, I see that 'group' and similar words have been the subject of editing wars before, as many Americans believe a group to be grammatically singular, while many Britons apparently believe it permissible to treat a group as plural, despite the fact that 'group' is a singular word with a plural form ('groups')! I'm British and have never lived in America, but on this I'm convinced that the Americans are right: the members of a group are plural, but a group is clearly a grammatically singular concept. However, to impose my grammatical beliefs on Wikipedia is beyond my powers, and trying to do is a waste of time, so I won't continue this war. Suffice it to say that you should at least be consistent: in the original text of this article, the group Stackridge was sometimes treated as singular and sometimes plural, even within the same sentence, which is an obvious error that should be corrected one way or the other.

I noticed that there was a "dead" link to Grytpype Thynne, the band that was (in some respects) a precursor to Stackridge. I created a page for the group and included the only link I could find to the band. This was then moved to drafts. Perhaps I am being a bit dim, but there is almost no information about Grytpype Thynne around. Either the link should be removed or the fact that there isn't much information should be accepted and the page made live. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DRMorgans ( talk • contribs) 14:02, 12 November 2020 (UTC)
