Untitled[edit]

I thought that fingertips did reflect the number of fingertips in the band - is that not correct? Mark Richards 22:03, 22 Feb 2004 (UTC) PS thanks for fixing the links - I was doing it and got beaten to it!

It sounds like speculation to me. I'm curious as to where you heard it; it may very well be true. -Branddobbe 23:54, Feb 22, 2004 (UTC)

I seem to recall an interview with them, but don't have a source, it was a while ago. Mark Richards 16:37, 23 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Should I mention the animutation called "The Fingertips Project," based on the songs in "Fingertips?" Davidizer13 20:03, 24 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comments very good, a few minor style comments really.

Can we avoid the use of the hash to represent "number" per MOS:HASH please?
"managed to chart" -> "charted".
"This disagreement caused a rift between Elektra and the band that took a while to heal." is this really relevant? I'm not sure about the encyclopedic tone of "took a while to heal" either.
"during a span of about nine to ten weeks" why not just simplify to "in approximately ten weeks"?
"used "old standbys"." quote needs ref.
Link "fuzz-box" if possible.
Unlink common terms, e.g. encyclopedia.
Can you adjust the fair use rationale for the ISY logo so it points at the album article rather than the disambiguation page for Apollo 18?
Don't overlink International Space Year, and since you abbreviated it, I'd use the abbreviation the next time round.
" A User's Guide to They Might Be Giants: Melody, Fidelity, Quantity would take its subtitle from." -> "from which A User's Guide to They Might Be Giants: Melody, Fidelity, Quantity would take its subtitle."
Allmusic -> AllMusic.
Album table is sortable with a single entry, no point, especially since the singles table is not sortable.

Otherwise this is a decent article. I'll put it on hold for seven days. The Rambling Man (talk) 08:07, 3 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thank for reviewing this article. I believe I've changed and/or fixed the issues. How does this look?--Gen. Quon (Talk) 16:30, 5 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your timely response and your efforts. A good article indeed, so I'm happy to promote. Good work. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:09, 5 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
