Texas A&M

[edit]

So were Keen and Lovett roommates outside of Texas A&M? Otherwise I think that sentence and its parenthetical aside should be removed altogether. --Bateau (talk) 16:48, 5 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Question

[edit]

What label does LL record for? 67.62.75.193 13:58, 29 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The answer is "Curb Records". I'll see if I can find an appropriate place to mention it in the article. Vandelay 15:50, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

trivia

[edit]

Is the Insane Clown Posse reference at all relevant, or is it another example of random trivia cluttering up a wikipedia entry? I'm clipping it and placing it here for now.

Lyle was mentioned in the Insane Clown Posse's song entitled "Fuck the World". In this paricular song, band member Violent J said "Fuck Lyle Lovett ugly ass bastard, who ever the fuck that is". What about the fact that LL physically resembles a young Noam Chomsky? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.90.149.230 (talk) 05:00, 21 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Expand This Article

[edit]

I was surprised at how short this article is in relationship to how influential Lyle has been so far in his career. I would think that his biography would be much longer. I am certain that history will look extremely favorably on many aspects of his talent.

I am not sufficiently knowledgeable about Lyle or how to improve a Wikipedia article of this level of complexity.

I don't know if this is a proper thing to say or the proper place to say it. If I am out of line here please correct me.

[edit]
Some things just grow by incremental edits and get out of hand. The "External links" section, one of the optional appendices, has grown to 8 entries. Three seems to be an acceptable number and of course, everyone has their favorite to add for four links when they can.
The problem is that none is needed for article promotion.
  • ELpoints #3) states: Links in the "External links" section should be kept to a minimum. A lack of external links or a small number of external links is not a reason to add external links.
  • LINKFARM states: There is nothing wrong with adding one or more useful content-relevant links to the external links section of an article; however, excessive lists can dwarf articles and detract from the purpose of Wikipedia. On articles about topics with many fansites, for example, including a link to one major fansite may be appropriate.
  • ELMIN: Minimize the number of links. --
  • ELCITE: Do not use {{cite web}} or other citation templates in the External links section. Citation templates are permitted in the Further reading section.
  • WP:ELBURDEN: Disputed links should be excluded by default unless and until there is a consensus to include them.
It would seem preferable if one of the article regulars could look at these. I have not been involved with the article. My solution of moving the bottom four or five here for discussion might not find consensus so a swap-out might be desired. I have found that oftentimes links stray from the guideline. Inclusion would contain further research that is accurate and on-topic, information that could not be added to the article for reasons such as copyright or amount of detail, or other meaningful, relevant content that is not suitable for inclusion in an article for reasons unrelated to its accuracy.
