Billy Talent

I have recently done some major revisions (save for the genre field that anons have edit wars over on a regular basis) to this article. Over the past while, it have been slowly working up for a major overhaul like this, and trying to eliminate some of the proseline that used to plague it. I just want some general comments on the revisions so far, and the overall quality of the article prose and format. Some tips on how to further improve it would be nice too. Thanks! -- Reaper X 05:01, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

I have made some more edits today, mainly just adding music samples, improving inline citations a bit, and expanding the lead. -- Reaper X 00:23, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Do you have sources indicating who has influenced them? I'd also like to see a little bit more of what they sound like described in the article. Also, throw in some critical notices, particularly about specific albums, if you can find some good ones. A good example of music criticism worked into an article's prose is located at Stereolab.

I did this to include who (er, who didn't) influence them. I'll follow you other points next time I get going on here. -- Reaper X 06:29, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
