Biased?[edit]

Very opinionated article. Personally, I agree it's their weakest album, but It's still got it's good points.--Richy 23:18, 6 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I tried rewriting the first paragraph to show a neutral point of view. The rest of it, could still do with some rewriting though.--Richy 14:08, 19 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've knocked it down to NPOV, I believe. I got rid of all the weasel words, blatant bias, etc., and now it probably qualifies for a stub tag again. ;) wilhelm 23:12, 4 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Could this also be edited into somehing that remotely follows english grammatical syntax? lol =p 68.193.87.97 03:41, 29 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Move?[edit]

The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was no consensus. As such, the redirect at The Red Hot Chili Peppers should point to the band's page, as that was the previous stable situation. --Aervanath (talk) 17:03, 6 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • The Red Hot Chili Peppers (album) → The Red Hot Chili Peppers — "The Red Hot Chili Peppers" redirects to "Red Hot Chili Peppers" (i.e. the name of the album redirects to the band). The album itself is on a page with the "(album)" suffix - as this album is actually called "The Red Hot Chili Peppers" (and the band is not, but is called something similar), it seems better to move this to the redirect page, and included a hatnote at the top refering the reader to the band's article. — JCrue (talk) 16:59, 31 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • How is this not controversial? Most people say "the Red Hot Chili Peppers", so I think it is more than likely someone looking for the band would type in "The Red Hot Chili Peppers". TJ Spyke 20:36, 31 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Because out of the two possible topics, one of them is properly called "The Red Hot Chili Peppers" and one of them isn't. --JCrue (talk) 23:34, 31 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. The only possible change I'd support here is redirecting this to a disambiguation page. I believe that almost every person on this planet younger than 40 has heard for RHCP, but the fact they've recorded an album of the same name is much more obscure. Admiral Norton (talk) 16:19, 2 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support In this case The is not part of the name of the band as it is in, for example, The Beatles and The Who, however, it is part of the name of the album. It is a bit confusing, but anyone who gets to either article should be able to quickly figure out how to get to the other with the appropriate hat notes. --Born2cycle (talk) 19:41, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I've changed The Red Hot Chili Peppers to redirect to this article instead of to the article about the band at Red Hot Chili Peppers. Also, if this propose move is implemented, the hatnote I added to the top of Red Hot Chili Peppers needs to be updated to link to The Red Hot Chili Peppers instead of to The Red Hot Chili Peppers (album). --Born2cycle (talk) 20:58, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose and restore the redirect. While "The" is not technically part of the bands name, it is usually included when talking about them (i.e. you would say "The Red Hot Chili Peppers will be performing" and not "Red Hot Chili Peppers will be avoiding"). It is also more plausible that someone typing that in will be looking for the band and not this specific album. TJ Spyke 22:52, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • When I talk about the Honda that I own, I usually include "the", as in, "I'm taking the Honda to work". That doesn't make "the" part of the name. If it's true that that someone typing in "The Red Hot Chili Peppers" is more likely to be looking for the band than the album, that's a valid point. However, in that process they will learn the distinction (which, if they're looking for this band is likely to be of some interest to them), not to mention potentially learning about their first album, and the band will be only one hat note link away. You make a good point, but, overall, I think the proposed move is still the best way to go with respect to meeting the needs of readers. --Born2cycle (talk) 00:08, 6 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
