Revision as of 02:37, 13 March 2005
You must add a |reason= parameter to this Cleanup template – replace it with {{Cleanup|reason=<Fill reason here>}}, or remove the Cleanup template.
So, this article hasn't been significantly changed in 2-1/2 years. The original lacked factual information in favor of a musical analysis; in rewriting it, I tried to balance a band biography with an explanation of the group's importance. --ESP 22:46, 2 Mar 2004 (UTC)
Revert?
I didn't understand this revert, since the edits seem kind of clean. I'm thus reverting the revert. If there's a problem with the edits, please post the reason for reverting here. --ESP 03:16, 10 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Drag Queens?
What is the source on the info that Mould and Hart were drag queens and lovers? Mould has consistently denied the lover rumors over the years, and I've never read anything about their being drag queens except here.
Just awful
What a mess! This article is an example of the worst of Wikipedia: The screed about the umlauts (which used to be the FIRST paragraph of the article) is pointless, rambling, badly written, and conveys no information about the band, its music, or its influence. It might be interesting as part of heavy metal umlaut, but it really doesn't belong here. The fact that 20% of this article is devoted to this worthless paragraph is an embarrassment. It ought to be deleted.
In addition, I can't believe that the unverifiable (and likely completely fabricated) passage about drag queens was ever part of the article. Whether or not they were gay has nothing to do with the music or the band. Husker Du was not a "gay band", and Mould is still reticent to discuss it. This isn't Frankie Goes To Hollywood. Sexual orientation belongs on biography pages, not band pages.
