[edit] Misc
Where does it say "Singles titles in quotes"?
I'm not being funny, I just can't find it. I was going to make Heaven 17 compliant but wanted to check the manual first ...
I just changed the singles titles to italicised rather than quotes as this seems to be the more usual protocol in wikipedia quercus robur
Oh dear, but I can't find that in the style manual either, it just says albums in italics ... maybe somone will enlighten me with ref in the manual?
Oh and well done with the pic, it's great! :) Nevilley 00:05 Nov 25, 2002 (UTC)
Songs in quotes was agreed on somewhere, but the MoS page sseems to omit it. I've added it now -- Tarquin
-- actually, there's was an example there:
- "She's Leaving Home" appears on Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
Sorry for causing the fuss - I should've checked the MoS was clear about this. I must have been extrapolating it from "italics for novels, quotes for short stories" and that sort of thing - thanks to tarq for making it explicit. --Camembert
I think you'lle find that "together in electric dreams" was a solo hit by Phil Oakley and not the Human League.
- Dash it Sir! I think you'll find you are right!!! Going to fix it now, let me know if OK? Thanks Nevilley 10:09 Mar 16, 2003 (UTC)
Ermmm I don't want to make trouble - nor indeed a rod for my own back, as I am offering to fix it - but isn't this band really called "The Human League" and not "Human League"??? Minor I know, but I would rather get it right. Especially as I have contributed so thoroughly to getting it wrong, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa etc etc -- Nevilley 19:54 Mar 22, 2003 (UTC)
[edit] Fascination
Shouldn't the 1983 mini-ep "Fascination" be considered an album? This had the 12" of Fascination (which, to this day, has never been released on CD), "Mirror Man", "Hard times", "I Love You too Much", "Reminds me of Gold", and a weird remix of "Fascination". Samboy 21:54, 4 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- Since no one has commented on this, I have added the 1983 EP fascination to the list of Human Legaue albums; I'm surprised this wasn't listed here before. As an aside, this album was released in two colors; a medium grey, and a dark brown-grey; both albums are otherwise identical. Refs: [1] [2] Samboy 22:31, 7 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- The Fascination EP is just that - an EP, not an album. The band themselves named their 8th album "Octopus" ("Love and Dancing" was the 4th) so I'd suggest moving "Fascination" to an EP sub-section of the discography. Afront 12:19, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Secrets
Needs an update for Secrets and beyond...
[edit] Being Boiled
Shouldn't the reappearance of Being Boiled be listed under Travelogue instead of Dare?
[edit] Dare Demos
I was looking for bootlegs from back in the day and I came across Dare demos on several peer 2 peer networks. Now there are 36 tracks with everything from accappellas to instrumentals so I'm really curious if there's a story that explains how in the world did these rarities find their way to these networks?
- Er, people uploaded them!--feline1 09:23, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Trivia Section to be deleted
As per Wikipedia guidelines I have flagged up the trivia section for deletion in 7 days. The majority of the entries in The Human League trivia section are largely irrelevant to the band in the first place and deserve to be deleted 'per se'. Philip Oakey's collaborations with other artists are in his capacity as a Independent singer and should be on Wiki:Philip Oakey not here. The only exception should be Together In Electric Dreams as this has now been adopted as a 'Honory' Human League track by Gayle and Catherall. Covers and samples belong on that Song's page and not on the band's page unless there is some claim to notability, Such as the Controversy created by George Michael's Shoot The Dog

- Removed Trivia Section complete as per guidelines. Also removed Philip Oakey's Independent solo works as this was nothing to do with the band it belongs on Philip Oakey (which it already is) NotThe Human League. POV removed elswhere. Andi064 22:36, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
