please change the picture.. and i need more information

Seriously who the heck keeps changing Hyuna's title to Main Vocals? She doesn't hit any of the high notes or sing any difficult parts. Sera and Hyemi are the Main Vocals because they do all of that. Hyuna is a lead vocalist as well as Kyungri because they sing most of the intro and chorus lines. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.33.29.65 (talk) 19:30, 26 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Positions and birthdays

Incessant edit-warring has erupted recently by IPs, SPAs and probable socks over positions and birthdays of band members. They even add comments that their info is correct but never supply any sources. Anyone with reliable sources please supply them so that this information can be safely added to the article without violating WP:BLP and numerous other policies. Thank you.

made attempts to add the birthdays back, while the Korean wiki page was not called "reliable sources", another attempt with http://kpoplists.com/post/3637653486 was called "Random website. Not reliable.
Dr.K., I guess you would call their official fan cafe, reddit (http://www.reddit.com/r/ninemuses/wiki/index#wiki_members) etc. unreliable sources too - yet you tolerate soompi.com and even worse, allkpop.com articles as reliable sources in this article... what's wrong with that you should know best.

@Ryohka: The sources you supplied are not reliable because they are not written by reliable organisations. As far as Soompi.com or Allkpop.com, they don't look all that great either, but at least they have their own articles which means they are notable, if not reliable. So at least they are tolerated. This is an imperfect situation for sure but I don't think it would help if I started removing these sources from all K-pop articles. BTW, the reddit source is not their official site.

@Dr.K.: Of course, the official fancafe is http://9muses.co.kr/ (there's a comma before the reddit link, so it wasn't meant to indicate to be the official site). The point was that it's a daum café which requires a login to view most posts so it generally would be a bad idea to give references to the café (which in my view only reliable official source per se). Though as Soompi.com is deemed a tolerated resource I'll see if I can find the references for each member there again - had already noted down a few but deleted the file after finding that kpoplist.com page. :( Ryo «message me» 08:46, 3 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Edit Request

Can someone please rewrite the section on Eunji and LeeSem's departure? Perhaps adding in the letters they wrote to fans? As it is, the section has very poor grammar and is confusing.

"On January 29, 2014, the groups agency Star Empire released a statement announcing that Eunji and Lee Sem would be departing the group. Both would be focus on individual acitivies in various aspects, ultimately leading to the 'graduation' of both members. Star Empire confirmed however that they would remain with the agency.[13] A few days later, Star Empire dismissed rumours of them adding replacements for the two girls, citing that the group would remain as a 7-piece for the time being."

How about:

"On January 29, 2014, Star Empire released a statement announcing that Eunji and Lee Sem would be departing the group to focus on on individual acitivies in various aspects. The agency confirmed, however, that they would remain with the company.[13] A few days later, Star Empire dismissed rumours of them adding replacements for the two girls, citing that the group would remain as seven members for the time being." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.66.253.198 (talk) 06:37, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, now that I look at it, the majority of the article has bad grammar/unclear phrasing and needs a rewrite.70.66.253.198 (talk) 06:44, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of some awards

I removed the non-notable awards run by a fanblog. Shinyang-i (talk) 04:04, 19 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
