Jamiroquai's Logo
Hey, I thought it would make sense to include the Jamiroquai logo and the Buffalo man because you know, Jamiroquai wouldn't be Jamiroquai without their branding HoovyRoovy (talk) 22:26, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
"third-best-selling" should have two hyphens
https://ew.com/music/2018/08/20/eagles-best-selling-album-all-time/
Note the aforementioned examples. "Third best-selling" implies it was the third album to be a "best-selling album", which is obviously not what this phrase is saying. It's subtle but important. Please don't revert this change. Electricmaster (talk) 15:58, 5 April 2023 (UTC)
Use in movies and TV
Jamiroquai's music has been used in quite a few TV shows and movies (not to mention countless pop culture references); would it be worth mentioning some of their most prominent appearances? Electricmaster (talk) 11:31, 6 September 2023 (UTC)
- Not really. The mention of Napoleon Dynamite was there but I was told by a reviewer to take it out. I feel like when it comes to songs used, they maybe can be mentioned the songs' own articles if notable enough. Otherwise if every appearance was mentioned, it would bog down the article too much.웃OO 04:11, 7 September 2023 (UTC)
- Good response. I agree. Electricmaster (talk) 02:37, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
Member Timeline
I've added a timeline for the core band members (long overdue, really). I have currently omitted Wallis Buchanan (digeridoo), DJ D-Zire, and Howard Whiddett (Ableton Live). There's probably an argument to be made for their (or potentially others') inclusion. Please discuss. Electricmaster (talk) 02:40, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
- I don't want to say that this is a bad idea because it's not. But the only issue that lies is how some of the members would need high-quality and reliable sourcing for their individual timelines, otherwise it could constitute as WP:Original Research. I was unable find them for some of the members hence why I omitted the member timeline. 웃OO 05:38, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
- I've noted your June 22 reply and would like to signal my intent to try to resolve the issues. It can be difficult sometimes even establishing the correct year (let alone month) of when some members joined. While the Beatles have historians that can pretty much pinpoint the day a member joined, it's a lot harder with Jamiroquai, especially considering their peripheral members.
- My question is this, 100cellsman: what details, specifically speaking, need to be addressed to get the timeline in a state where it can be reinstated? How accurate should this be? For instance, if I get a reliable source but can only measure accuracy to an album cycle or year, is this sufficient? Electricmaster (talk) 08:09, 15 September 2024 (UTC)
- It's mainly for Matt Johnson and Simon Katz. Katz was mentioned a few times as being in the lineup but never when he joined or left. 웃OO 07:26, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
June 22
I decided to delete the timeline and several of the listed members from the list. One reasons is the same as I mentioned before. An exact timeline for each member joining and/or leaving should have sources that are of reliable quality. (especially because the article is featured.) Unfortunately, it was difficult for me to research this while I was expanding the article. Also, I realized that I contradicted myself when I shouldn't add any session musicians. I was going with a list from a book source in which the author appeared to have inadvertently listed session musicians or ones that only appeared in one album. From this point on there should only be members who have been widely acknowledged by press as being part of the lineup, hence why Fyffe and Katz appear on the former list. Again, I apologise for doing this, Electricmaster. Hopefully there will be reliable information to either be found or created. 웃OO 08:02, June 22, 2024 (UTC)
