[edit] Requested move

According to their official site bio: [1] and many press clippings, their proper name is Nomeansno. I've changed the occurances of NOMEANSNO and No Means No within the article to reflect this already.

  • Agreed. Jkelly 18:40, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Agree and Comment It wasn't blocked and isn't controversial, so I moved it. Redirects still need to be fixed. Kafziel 18:48, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
    Will do, thanks :-) (i assumed wrongly that moving onto a redirect would be problematic) -Quiddity 18:55, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
Glad to be of help. It would have been a problem if the redirect led anywhere but here, or if it had ever been edited more than once. As long as it was set up correctly to point here on the first try and never touched again, the system will allow the move. Happy editing! Kafziel 19:03, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
  • I'm not going to agree or disagree, but the capitalization on their website[2] changed from NoMeansNo on 6/28/06 to NOmeansno on 7/16/06, then went back to NoMeansNo on 7/26/06, and changed again back to NOmeansno on 7/31/06. Also, on 6/21/06, the name was simply Nomeansno. It's really not set in stone as to the "right" way to capitalize the name. -Phillstac3 04:40, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Record label history

I believe the History section is inaccurate. I do not believe it's correct to say that Nomeansno "initially" released records on Alternative Tentacles. From what I have been able to reconstruct, Mama and the two early 7-inches were self-released, Sex Mad was originally released by Psyche Industry, Wrong was originally released on Cargo Records, and You Kill Me was originally released on Undergrowth.

I think it might be more accurate to say something such as: The majority of the Nomeansno catalog was available on the Alternative Tentacles record label at some point, although the band worked with several labels (Cargo Records, Psyche Industry, De Konkurrent, Southern Records, and others) including their own label Wrong Records.
