WE could really use some pictures, i mean there has to be at least one? what is the policy on video clip stills?

uhh, is it possible to change the title to The Dandy Warhols instead of just Dandy Warhols? Shakeer 03:10, 28 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Just did so. In the future, you can move pages through the link on the sidebar that says "Move this page". RADICALBENDER 03:12, 28 Mar 2004 (UTC)

This wasn't what i had in mind.. this picture. A. Is in the wrong place B. Doesn't even include Zia. Could we find a better one?

OK, I contacted Capitol Records A&R and was given a page full of promotional photos and got the crediting info and proper licensing. I chose this one (Dandywarhols_1.jpg) because I felt it illustrates all four members of the current group well. Maxxo 23:06, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] dandys rule ok

how come this article doesn't mention the debut lp, 'dandys rule ok', or the rejected 'black' album.


[edit] "Godless" single chart placing

The chart placements are fairly accurate, although according to the "Guinness Book of British Hit Singles," the "bible" of all UK chart placements, listed "Godless" as charting briefly on July 7, 2001, peaking at #66. I just noticed it said "ineligible for chart placement" on Wikipedia. Feel free to verify with the chart book, but I'm looking right at it as I write this.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.52.58.168 (talk • contribs) 18:22, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

Hmm, that's strange, the "Godless" single (in CD and 12" editions) has four tracks, and singles with more than three tracks (and/or totalling greater than 20 minutes in length) have been ineligible for inclusion in the singles chart since some time in the mid/late '90s. I'll take your word for it, though -- I assume it must have been an oversight on the part of the chart company.--CapitalLetterBeginning 13:39, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

YOOOOOOOO THESE GUYS ARE GOOOOD

[edit] Dandys Rule, OK?

They made a great album in 13 Tales From Bohemia. Definitely a band you listen to while chilling, not while watching live on TV. Guroadrunner 06:34, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Website section

The section describing the Dandy's website only has the ridiculous suggestion to vandalize Wikipedia with inaccurate information. Also, the quote is uncited. I would like to see it removed, and will do so if noone objects. GilliamJF 20:25, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

It was on their website for a little while, I think in the 'fans' section.

Such vandalism appears to have been done with the unreferenced creation of Peter Loew, a name not used in this article, the merging of the Peter Holmstrom article with it, and the creation of a navigation template. Note that somebody has also tagged this article as unreferencedGene Nygaard 06:51, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Peter Loew was an aka used by Holmstrom on their recording Welcome To The Monkey House. It was to pay homage to hiw wife's surname. --Satyricrash 23:16, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Thirteen Tales.jpg

Image:Thirteen Tales.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 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.

[edit] Undeclared

The show was so short lived and kind of a long time ago relatively speaking, so I can't remember, but wasn't their track 'Solid' the theme song for it, and shouldn't it be included at the bottom in the list of pop culture uses?? President David Palmer 17:02, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Unverified, possibly damaging claims

I reverted the article, removing this addition: "Although 'Bohemian Like You' was a massive benefit to the Dandy Warhols, it should be noted that 'Little Bitch' by The Specials is a major influence on the single."

Since the user also inserted "~The Dandy Warhols borrowed 'Little Bitch' for 'Bohemian Like You'." on Specials I imagine this is something the user cares about personally. If there are independent sources that can be cited for this (Please consult Wikipedia:Reliable_sources), please feel free to reinsert the text with appropriate citations. Otherwise, it's best to err on the side of not including potentially damaging allegations on wikipedia pages.
