There's more information to come here and the entry is growing to the point it should have History etc. sections. I'll do it as/when I have time if nobody else does. As the band are just now gaining national attention, the page is likely to be accessed more frequently. I've been a user and occasional Wikipedia contributor for a few years - but I'm not an expert by any means. Feel free to improve on any of my efforts or to discuss things here. -- Citizensmith 23:51, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
Band are not particularly notable or important. They've had a certain amount of commercial success but have never done anything outside of what matters to them and their fans. Suggest article deleted as not notable. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.17.236.142 ( talk) 15:09, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
This page is massively overlong for such an unknown band. It seems to have been compiled by someone with an interest in the success of the group -- 80.41.227.205 02:08, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
Um...we don't need a detailed itinary here, just a biography. There is so much irrelevant, superfluous crap in this entry it is unreal. Wikipedia is not a promotional tool. -- 80.41.227.205 01:13, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

The original promo photo image used on this page has been deleted by user User_talk:Betacommand as invalid fair use. However this is disputed. See discussion on their talk page. I have replaced this image with one taken by myself, which I have immediate access to, while this is sorted. If anyone has a better image they took themselves or can get written permission from 1965 Records to feature promo shot images in a manner that will satisfy Wikipedia copyright extremists then please do so. Hopefully a better image will be back soon. Citizensmith 13:41, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
Removed " Dance Into The Night and Face For The Radio are scheduled to be the last releases from the album next year." as no verification. Citizensmith 16:54, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
They look about 12! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 81.153.243.62 ( talk) 22:43, 10 January 2007 (UTC).
I really don't see much point in adding the B-sides of the singles themselves to the "Singles" section, as far as I know they weren't double-A sides and i have NEVER seen an article before where the b-sides are listed that way. I won't revert because I'm not a fan of this Deletionist Crap but I also think it looks stupid. Just a comment.-- SteelersFan UK06 15:10, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
Firstly, Kyle Falconer, the lead singer of the band has been convicted for possession of Cocaine at Dundee Sheriff Court (See http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/tayside_and_central/6412105.stm). In addition, it states in the article that the band "made their first trip to the USA, in January 2007, playing dates in New York, San Francisco and Los Angeles". As far as I knew the band had to cancel the eight-date tour of the U.S. as the singers charges for possession of a Class A drug where pending. The source I give above confirms this. In addition the source previously given as supporting the mini tour of the U.S. leads to the bands upcoming tour dates page. This does not confirm that they toured the U.S. as the article implies. I will remove the statement that the band toured the U.S. and the reference for this, add something about the pending charges being the cause of the cancellation of the mini tour, and a small piece about the singers conviction.

Image:The-View-Same-Jeans.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. BetacommandBot 06:14, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

This section of the article has got a bit out hand. I tagged it with a clean up tag. I think that "major appearances" is a bit of an inappropriate title, considering every preformance they seem to have done as of late is being lumped into this.
Overall i realy like this article, i've followed it from the early days. So if this small bit can be fixed, hell, it'll be near-perfect... -- SteelersFan UK06 18:42, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of The View (band)'s orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
