[edit] Musical
I might have missed it, but is there any mention in the article of the jukebox musical that will be made based on their music? -- Annie D 06:56, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
I have added reference to the musical. Light Defender (talk) 08:51, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
The musical is unofficial, so only warrants ONE mention in the 'Other Media' section - not a link at the TOP of the Take That page, a separate weblink, an image AND a paragraph about it along with the 'other media' point. This is blatant advertising, not information and you Light Defender need to stop vandalising this page. The band have clarified that they don't support the musical nor have any connection to it other than their songs being featured in in. EITHER WAY the information about the musical can go on it's OWN page (which it has one already filled by you), not the Take That page. There is FAR more relevant information about the actual article - TAKE THAT - that isn't on the page as it is. Please keep the topic relevant. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Thatter (talk • contribs) 12:23, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
The musical is not unofficial? Whether Take That are 'officially backing the musical or not does not change the point that it is a 'Take That' Musical. It is referred to in the press as the 'Take That' Musical and it is based solely on the music of 'Take That' . The music has very officially been licensed by 'Take That'. It would be strange if there wasn't a link to the musical page from here. (As the user above pointed out in June last year) Light Defender (talk) 09:21, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
- Sorry to butt into this discussion, but the more interesting question for THIS article is, what effect has the musical had on the band, if any? Did the creation of, publicity for, and tour of the musical actually help the band popularise its comeback? I have no idea if this is relevant, I'm just asking - if it is so, then something else ought to be said in the article. If not, then I agree that the material that is now shown under other media is probably good enough for now. After the musical opens on the West End, if it becomes a really big hit, then perhaps a little more about it will be of interest in this article. Best regards, everyone, and try to be calm. -- Ssilvers (talk) 15:16, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] biographies
There is no mention of Gary Barlow's brief acting career He appeared in the TV show "Heartbeat" (1 episode, 2000)in the episode "The Son-In-Law" (2000) as character "Micky Shannon" — Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.192.22.33 (talk) 11:44, 11 March 2008 (UTC) source: imdb.com — Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.192.22.33 (talk) 11:46, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
Also, the biography for Robbie Williams has a link to his personal Wiki-page, none of the others have the internal link.
[edit] no joke
I honestly thought they were a christian rock band. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.63.78.95 (talk) 00:34, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Page protection
The following edit is the matter of an edit war:
Barlow is unconnected to the musical and commented that it has “the smell of the end of the pier” about it. (Reference: http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/music/article1907803.ece We can relight our own fire, thank you])
Please reach a consensus on whether to include or exclude this statement at Talk:Never_Forget_(Musical)#Edit_dispute so that this article can be unprotected. Thank you. -- Netsnipe ► 11:19, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
- A compromise statement can set forth the facts that the musical uses songs composed by Barlow in the 1990s and that in 2006 Barlow and EMI licensed the songs for use in the show. -- Ssilvers (talk) 14:41, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Disambiguation link
{{for|the musical based on Take That songs of the 1990s|Never Forget (Musical)}}
I've removed the above disambiguation link for Never Forget, the Take That musical. According to Wikipedia guidelines disambiguation "is the process of resolving conflicts in article titles that occur when a single term can be associated with more than one topic, making that term likely to be the natural choice of title for more than one article."
As it's incredibly unlikely that users would type "Take That" into the search box and expect to arrive at the page to an article practically (it seems) unconnected with the band, and as the titles are not even close in being similar, this usage of disambiguation links is incorrect in my view.
