The Syn? Hopeless old men trying to pretend they used to matter, when, in fact, they did not. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.6.4.181 ( talk) 01:57, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
Not sure why the page was marked COI. -- Umbrello ( talk) 15:32, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
[Reset indentation] I'll look for a citation re ticket sales. Obviously, if I don't find one, then that sentence should go. My website is my website and I say what I want on it. The edits around Armistice Day were made by someone else, but I found citations for the material. If you can find a citation for a response from Steve Nardelli on the issue, that would seem a good way forward in terms of achieving balance. Bondegezou ( talk) 19:09, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
I've been looking for some more reviews and have already added one for Syndestructible. Another of possible use is here. Bondegezou ( talk) 10:08, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
Need assistance. I was reviewing the citations and they appear to be out of sync. The citation for #2 pointed to a broken link.-- RexerX ( talk) 15:36, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
I seem to recall Chris Squire stating there that the band's name has always been "Syn". Does anyone know of any material ( WP:RS of course) that discusses the band's name, and the fact that, at least in the band's earlier days, they were known without the definitive article? 2tuntony ( talk) 11:09, 20 September 2010 (UTC)
User:Digbyjohn and myself have been going back and forth over what happened at the end of The Syn's 2009 touring. The band played a small number of dates, finishing 1 May. Digbyjohn has repeatedly added text along these lines: "[the tour] was cancelled after 6 dates when Nardelli had to return to England when the UK Government selected his company's eco project for development" and s/he gives three citations, [1], [2], and [3].
Those citations do not support the text inserted, as far as I can see. The North West Bicester link describes the UK government selecting an eco project, but has no mention of Steve Nardelli or The Syn. The text doesn't appear to be dated, but this page dates it as 16 July 2009. nwbicester.co.uk is a commercial site promoting itself related to this project.
The other two citations are both to p3group.co.uk, the website of the company concerned, so again not a reliable source. The first is the company page about Nardelli, which describes him as "a Director" (but he's not the chairman, which is Ian Inshaw, while Graham Johnson is also a director). This page identifies Nardelli as the same person in The Syn, but it says nothing about The Syn's 2009 tour and nothing about the UK government selecting an eco project. The other page describes a June 2013 event related to the eco project, attended by Nardelli, with no mention of The Syn.
So, Digbyjohn has given 3 citations. They are all promotional sites related to company activities. They identify Nardelli of The Syn as Nardelli of P3 Group, not that this was in doubt. They say that P3 Group has been selected for an eco project. This is announced on 16 July 2009. None of these citations support the claim that The Syn tour was cancelled because P3 Group won the contract: none of them make any reference to The Syn's touring. What dates we have (final Syn date, 1 May; nwbicester.co.uk announcement, 16 July) don't particularly line up, but it would constitute original research to start speculating along those lines.
Ergo, I will revert Digbyjohn's edit again. User:Digbyjohn: please come and discuss the changes you are proposing here and how they comply with Wikipedia policy -- thanks. Bondegezou ( talk) 10:54, 11 March 2015 (UTC)
