European English does not always describe bands like this, does it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Clrichey (talk • contribs) 23:50, 2 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Second most successful Swedish group after ABBA

Could this article please point out that Roxette are the second most successful Swedish group after ABBA? The article on Ace of Base says that Ace of Base are the third most successful Swedish pop group after ABBA and Roxette - ergo, Roxette must be the second most successful Swedish pop group.

Possible deletion of Category:Female-fronted musical groups

The category Female-fronted musical groups is up for deletion at Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2024_August_6#Category:Female-fronted_musical_groups, and this music group article has listed it as a category. If you have an opinion either way please join the discussion. Thanks. Fyunck(click) (talk) 06:54, 7 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

GA concerns

I am concerned that this article no longer meets the good article criteria because of the uncited information in the 2022-2023 and 2024 sections, as well as some sentences elsewhere in the article. Is anyone willing to add the necessary citations, or should this be sent to WP:GAR? Z1720 (talk) 20:26, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the talk page message @Z1720: 185.161.117.124 has added a lot of unsourced, WP:FANCRUFT content to this article over the past few months (beginning in June). I was hoping to just do a quick revert, but there were other, substantive edits in the following weeks. It will take some time to revert their edits without removing the substantive edits. That being said, I brought the articles for Roxette's last 3 albums – Charm School, Travelling and Good Karma – to GA over the last few years, as well as Marie Fredriksson. I also did some work at Bag of Trix and Pop-Up Dynamo!. The best sources on all those articles could easily be used to bring the latter sections of this article in line with current GA criteria. It may take me a while to do all this though. Will try to work as fast as I can do all this. Homeostasis07 (talk/contributions) 23:53, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Homeostasis07: If someone is willing to work on an article, I won't bring it to GAR. Let me know when its ready to be checked again. Z1720 (talk) 00:57, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
