how is finch a rap group?

Neutrality: I've placed this under Neutrality Dispute as there are many glaring problems with it that present a view point that is just that of the reader's. This in turn hinders much of the writing, for example:

"are still regularly confused with being signed to Drive Thru Records. Why it makes any difference to anybody, is beyond understanding." "The record sold over 6,000 copies only months after being released. A testemant to how infectious they are, despite,then, being nobodies." "The movie turned out to be shite, but the song wasn't." "the sacking of founding drummer Alex Pappas due to musical differences (honestly) and pressure from the label to hurry up and get the album finished (to which they blatantly ignored!"

Another example is this line: "The album also was regarded to have began the post-hardcore genre into the mainstream." Although not an expert, I'm nearly positive this is not the case...not to mention the album isn't really technically defined as post-hardcore. --Bouyeeze 17:56, 3 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, this article is horridly written now. When did this change occur? The above quotes are just a sample of the complete juvenille nature this page now has. Not only is this article now drenched in POV, it appears to be quite amatuerish.

Addendum: There's more of it in the Links section with the "Excellent, band endorsed fan-site" which seems to be more shameless self promotion than providing a useful link.

Factual Error

"and changed tunings from B# to D Flat." There is no such note as B#. Should read as "from C to D Flat."

No, this depends on the key signature used. If the key is say, D major, then the notes are D, E, F#, G, A, B and C#. If the B was to be raised a semitone then yes, it would be a C, but in the key of D major, C is always C#, so it is more musically correct to say it is B#, rather than C natural, which would get confused with C#.

Whilst the above unsigned editor is correct in saying you always have one of each note in a scale, whether or not it's enharmonically changed, this only applies to notes within that scale. Outside that it's a key change - in which context it's Cnatural rather than B#. Onesecondglance 08:57, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

:'(

Finch have split indefinately! :'(

should we have a link for the part about them getting into a dispute with the band disturbed?

So long Finch....

But Cosmonaut looks like it is going to be really good! It is to bad that Finch broke up.....

Finch have anounced a reunion.

Whoever wrote the finch page has got a lot of bits and pieces wrong. I am partial to the "cokehead and raging alcoholic" line, though. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.194.47.34 (talk) 11:45, 14 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Finch.jpg

Image:Finch.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.

Project Mayhem

It's apparent to someone who has seen the film or read the book that at least some of the lyrics to the song Project Mayhem were inspired by Fight Club. It's not ONLY the name that came from Fight Club. Therefore, the change I am now making. C.V. Reynolds 21:17, 5 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"It"

Whoever used "it is" instead of "they are" needs their hands chopping off. I've changed it back anyway :)

Give it a name tour

Somebody decided that finch played a mind-blowing set, apparently. I say it's irrelevant... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.165.188.69 (talk) 00:41, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Cleanup of Finch articles

I've done some cleaning up of this article and related articles, in an effort to improve quality and readability. I've also made a template, Template:Finch. Edit it as you wish, as long as things such as new singles, albums, etc are confirmed. --Windeh (talk) 16:58, 5 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Influential?

Right off the bat, in the first sentence, Finch is described as an "influential" band. Influential to who? They have been around for a couple years and released only 2 studio albums. I have tagged this statement as dubious, and will delete it if I can't find evidence to indicate the contrary. GrahamNoyes (talk) 04:45, 9 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed it as it is a peacock term. Instead of telling the reader that a subject is important, use facts to show the subject's importance. - kollision (talk) 02:46, 10 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Readability

The first 2 paragraphs are horribly written, containing a sentence that is 4 lines long and changes subject no less than 8 times. This bizarre collection of facts should be separated and posted in a more objective manner, otherwise it reads as "Finch are and american band who have done a bunch of totally cool things and here I have listed them for you!", rather than something encyclopaedic.
