[edit] Clean up

This article deserves some little improvement, but basically it is a good article, I can't see the reason of putting here a "clean up" tag. --Doktor Who 16:26, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

Maybe it needs more factual information? I'm confused about where they're from; there's a link at the bottom to "British Musical Groups", and Keith Emerson is British, but the article goes straight into U.S. references and doesn't say where the band was based, which country they were performing with Arnold in, or where the other band members were from. Can somebody clarify? Wendy Collings 02:38, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] My Congrats To The Author(s) Of This Page

Whomever marked this for cleanup should have their head examined. A really nice piece of work. I added a few updates and will add some album cover pics shortly. Good lord! Cleanup deleted. Tvccs 12:07, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

So I'm guessing the line adorning Keith Emerson as the "unquestioned lord of stadium rock" wasn't in the version that you people read, eh? Hilarious? Yes. Encyclopedic and NPOV? Not in the least. I'm taking that out, and certainly scrutinizing this article a little more harshly in the proceeding days. I'm not convinced that it couldn't use a little partiality. (Of course, that's not to say that the whole article is poor of course.) Charles M. Reed 08:38, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Query

It's a good page, very good compared with others I've seen. However, when most of the albums have their own Wiki pages, how much sense does it make to have that information duplicated in the band's main page? It makes maintenance difficult and could thus give rise to inconsistencies. Also, there's no separate page for the album "Nice", which seems to be a glaring omission. I'll happily volunteer to write it. Comments welcome. Rodhullandemu 02:26, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Just had a look at the "Influence" section. It's a more or less solid block of fandom, IMHO, without references and probably violates Wiki:NPOV. There is a lot of speculation which is unsubstantiated. However, from my own POV(!) Nice probably influenced bands like Rare Bird, Atomic Rooster, and others. This needs some looking at, and I have some free time. Also Nice were important enough to be mentioned (indirectly) in "Groupie" by Jenny Fabian, and I would at least include a mention of this. I'll diarise this for a couple of days time & go ahead if nobody objects. --Rodhullandemu 00:06, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Elegy

The Elegy entry leads to a general subject article, and Elegy (The Nice album) redirects to the Nice (The Nice album) article which is quite odd. --kAtremer 19:58, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

page for "Elegy" is under construction & will be up as a stub within a couple of hours; when it is, the links will be sorted. --Rodhullandemu 20:07, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Comp appearance

I don't know if such promotional material is considered encyclopedic, so I'll just mention this and leave it up to the folks more active on this article to decide whether or not to include it. A recent issue of Uncut magazine included a CD bonus called "Fill Your Head with Prog", and the song "America" by The Nice was the first track. - Ugliness Man 06:59, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
