[edit] POV

This doesn't seem like a very flattering article for Australia's number one musical group for decades... but I don't have time to rewrite it now. Several generations of Australian children grew up to the music of the Seekers (I was one of them...) Sure their songs were conservative but they were also bloody good musicians/songwriters/performers... KJ "Remarkable string of hits" doesn't sound much like a neutral pov either —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.43.199.150 (talk) 19:53, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Photo

Please put more photos on. I will not have none on here while little fads like Delta have pleanty.

[edit] Discography

This article would benefit from a selective discography and a table showing their charting singles in Aust/UK/USA. --Design 03:34, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Capacity of Sidney Myer Music Bowl

"In recognition of their achievements, the group was named Australians of the Year for 1967 and in March that year they returned to Australia for a triumphant homecoming tour, which included a record-breaking concert at the Sidney Myer Music Bowl in Melbourne which was attended by over 200,000 people."

Is this accurate? The Sidney Myer Music Bowl article claims a capacity of 30,000. Two hundred thousand people would be one heck of a squeeze! 217.155.20.163 00:31, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Well, according to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, The Australian Heritage Database and the Lord Mayor website in Melbourne, it is accurate. Athough I was not at the concert itself, I have it on DVD, and I can confirm that it definitely was one heck of a squeeze. Here are links to the information about this, at the following websites:

That's no longer even the biggest crowd to have attended the Myer Music Bowl! The limiting factor is visibility... people down the back of a 200,000+ crowd can't see much, but they can hear surprisingly well and they can say "I was there". Andrewa 15:37, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Buddy England

I have transferred the personal info about Buddy England from The Seekers article to his own Buddy England page. Figaro 01:37, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:The Seekers dvd.jpg

Image:The Seekers dvd.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 lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
