Entry needs More Info

I tried to make the bio more thorough by including when they released some of their earlier albums. But information from that time is so scarce. If anyone knows some helpful and TRUE things to add to the bio please do. Links to references are helpful as well. C&R 20:51, 23 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Stop using band's biographies as the article

I noticed many bands seem to have their biographies copied from their webpage or press kit and put into the article. This can be used as a reference but copying it exactly usually makes the article appear promotional (which usually they are).--Tooiha 08:26, 28 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps if you would kindly suggest this ideal instead of commanding it people would be more apt to do something about it.

Name/NPOV

(Cross-posted from Talk:China (disambiguation)) How many people typing in Fine China is expecting to find a band, rather than porcelain? Perhaps the name of the band page should be changed to "Fine China (band)"?

Oh and this page has serious npov problems: Their previous album "You Make Me Hate Music" was so well received by fans and critics alike that it guarantees them a permanent place in the hearts and the record shelves of pop lovers everywhere. Sure. --Sumple (Talk) 11:05, 30 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Changing it to Fine China (band) works just fine. And to answer your question - there may be quite a few people looking for Fine China the band. But, of course, it is safe to say that the majority of the human race would be looking for Fine China the porcelain if they were to be searching for "fine china".

As far as the supposed "serious NPOV problems" - It was merely taken from an article written for the band when they released their 2001 album. Why so snippy? Have you actually heard the album? It is true that it was a very well received album. It was and still is appreciated by many. Perhaps you should actually check out the band before you bash...assuming that you have not already.

I don't dispute that it was a well received album. But phrases like "a permanent place in the hearts and the record shelves of pop lovers everywhere" don't belong in an encyclopedia article. --Sumple (Talk) 02:54, 31 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I might be inclined to agree with you on that - C&R 03:58, 28 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The entire intro is heavily biased, and I don't want to delete it all. Aristotle1990 22:00, 5 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

'Fine China the band' article still needs more work

I toned down the introduction so it does not sound so egotistical. It was difficult to do though since it was originally written as a promotional piece for the band. It is challenging to find any info or history for the band. Which is why I had to resort to using a press release for the introduction in the first place. I also added an image. An image that is safe to use because it was used for press releases and such.

Fair use rationale for Image:Finechinatheband.jpg

Image:Finechinatheband.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 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 lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
