Name
editSince this "band" only had one album, isn't it better to move the name to Pandora's Box: Original Sin? I find the parenthesis slightly inaccurate, and that it'd be more appropriate with the album name. Just a suggestion anyway. EliasAlucard|Talk 15:26, 17 Aug, 2005 (UTC)
- I see where you're coming from, but they were a band (or a musical group, as was the original title). I think it's best left alone. As far as I know, "Pandora's Box: Original Sin" never existed as a complete, solo noun. The JPS 13:30, 17 August 2005 (UTC)
- Pardon me for asking, but "complete, solo noun"? What do you mean by that? EliasAlucard|Talk 15:34, 17 Aug, 2005 (UTC)
- hehe, sorry, a linguistically inaccurate phrases, probably... what I mean is that if we name the article that, we will be creating a title, not reflecting an existing one. The JPS 13:41, 17 August 2005 (UTC)
- I'm sorry, I wasn't implying that you didn't know what you meant. I've just never heard that expression before, although I do know the meaning of solo and noun. Anyway, it was just a suggestion from the beginning, because I find (band) inappropriate, since they never really were an actual band like say, the Beatles or something. You get the point.

- Sure. I liked "musical group," but I guess it was changed because of some discussion between members of the in-group at a WikiProject somewhere. The JPS 14:37, 17 August 2005 (UTC)
- Oh, and don't worry - I didn't detect that you were implying that I didn't know what I meant! The JPS 16:28, 17 August 2005 (UTC)

- Now this I wasn't aware of. Could you perhaps provide some link? EliasAlucard|Talk 18:31, 17 Aug, 2005 (UTC)
- I was just guessing about the debate. I've spent so much time in TFD and VFD etc lately that I'm used to people discussing policy rather than contributing to articles. However, going by Wikipedia:Naming_convention#Album_titles_and_band_names the (band) suffix is correct. The JPS 16:54, 17 August 2005 (UTC)
- All right, I created it as a redirect instead. But considering that the article deals more with the album, than the actual band, shouldn't it be called something else? EliasAlucard|Talk 19:22, 17 Aug, 2005 (UTC)

I'm not sure if this goes into the standard talk page but I have been the co-owner of the Pandoras Box (Band) trademark from 2001 on. It was purchased for the group I co-founded since the old musical trademark was dead according to the TESS website. The original owner was Jim Steinman but he had no interest in reviving it as there was no "band" but more of a "musical project". Since we had signed a national recording deal, toured and released two full recordings in the United States and Europe, we were granted permission and are currently the owners of the name. Since there is only one allowed musical entry, we cannot make a wiki page for the group even though it falls under all of the guidelines listed. The band doesn't currently exist (it hasn't since 2005) but with the trademark rights in place and all of the rules followed, I'm curious what options there are.Rj singleton (talk) 06:42, 23 January 2010 (UTC)
"Lead vocalists"
editIn the CD booklet only four of the six girls mentioned are presented as lead vocalists, or - actually - members of the band together with Jim... Below there is a paranthesis saying "Special vocal performance by Holly Sherwood and Laura Theodore" though.
"The listed members, whose photos were put on the album"
editThis seems to imply that these may have not been the actual people singing? Or am I misunderstanding. This could use some expansion/clarification. -KaJunl (talk) 16:40, 31 May 2015 (UTC)
