Who's making these fanboy entries?!

I'm not sure what edits you are talking about, but you can always check the history tab to see who made which edits. Sparsefarce 19:55, 18 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The link to noise band Unicorn is a link to the famous, and obviously real animal the Unicorn. I tried to find something but then I didn't. Maybe they don't exist on the internets(is that possible?) Dorsh 08:34, 31 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Picture

Can some one list the personell as they appear in the picture (eg; text directly beneath the image saying "The Unicorns: (Left to Right) " et cetera. I tried to do it, but I couldn't get it right. Nervousbreakdance 05:45, 27 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

someone please get a new picture up asap. aeymxq 08:21, 1 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

i contacted jamie, he said he'd look around through his pictures for something. what a cool guy! aeymxq (talk) 23:59, 6 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

to do!

off the top of my head, here's some shit that should be done:

add more info for alden's solo recordings.
add info for the alden + adam recordings, with links to the radio archives if they're available.
add info on how alden is an awesome charitable person working at head&hands.

complete that list of unreleased tracks. i am basically 100% positive that list should be like twice as long.

add more links to the various side projects. alden and nick, in collab or solo, have a bunch of different little sites up with tracks under different names.

also it would be cool to add quotes in the article about things like their subject matter, and why they broke up. there are plenty of interviews to draw from. possibly add a Themes section or something.

another thing: someone with a copy of the 2014 EP should check if nickolas coatsworth or whatever was real, and then cite it. i'm too poor to buy the thing.

Breakup

"On December 28, 2004, a short message appeared on the Unicorns' website reading "THE UNICORNS ARE DEAD, (R.I.P.)", leading fans to speculate as to whether they had broken up. The Unicorns last show was slated to be on December 21, 2004 in Houston, TX but the show was cancelled. Nicholas Thorburn looked over at Alden Penner and said something along the lines of, "I quit, I can't do this anymore" and walked off stage."

This section doesn't have any cites and it's not strictly accurate-- I was at that show and it wasn't cancelled exactly, they did go on, played 2 or 3 songs, yelled at the crowd for an hour and then basically stormed off stage. (I can't confirm or deny the quote.) I may try to edit this a bit and find a cite? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Awk (talk • contribs) 18:42, 17 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
