The End?

Hey I've heard rumors that Fall Out Boys Latest Album may have been there last. Im guessing this was stirred up since Patrick is on his own solo time doing collaborations and Pete having a kid. This was pushed furhter when Pete stated on his Twitter account in a Q&A that asked "Hey can we excpect Fall Out Boy album by next year?" He said "The truth is I dont know. Folie a Deux may have been our swan song but we might have another one in us well see." Is Fall Out Boy disbanding? (FallOutBoyFan123 (talk) 01:22, 13 July 2009 (UTC)) FallOutBoyFan123


AS of 11/20/09 Fall Out Boy is on an indefinite hiatus. This article explains everything.

Greatest Hits Album...

Might want to add that they're releasing a greatest hits album sometime in November. No date is set yet for the release, but it will also feature two new songs.

It will feature the complete version of the song "Alpha dog" which appeared on Welcome To The New Administration and a brand new song.--190.226.76.139 (talk) 21:54, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

Fall Out Boy GA Reassessment

This discussion is transcluded from Talk:Fall Out Boy/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the reassessment.

Starting GA reassessment as part of the GA Sweeps process. Jezhotwells (talk) 14:49, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

Checking against GA criteria

To uphold the quality of Wikipedia:Good articles, all articles listed as Good articles are being reviewed against the GA criteria as part of the GA project quality task force. While all the hard work that has gone into this article is appreciated, unfortunately, as of December 1, 2009, this article fails to satisfy the criteria, as detailed below. For that reason, the article has been delisted from WP:GA. However, if improvements are made bringing the article up to standards, the article may be nominated at WP:GAN. If you feel this decision has been made in error, you may seek remediation at WP:GAR.

GA review (see here for criteria)
  1. It is reasonably well written.
    a (prose): b (MoS):

#:: History ...best friends, Joseph Mark Trohman and Peter Lewis Kingston Wentz III wanted to play songs by bands they listened to growing up such as Green Day and Descendents. Clumsy and ungrammatical.

  1. I rewrote this to be closer to what it was when it achieved GA.
    Trohman met high school student Patrick Martin Stump in a Borders book store. Is Borders significant, why is it wikilinked?
    I removed the wikilink, but I left Borders. I think it helps illustrate the meeting better for the reader.
    The band received an advance from Island Records to record its proper debut, but the advance came with a right of first refusal for Island on Fall Out Boy's next album. But?
    Corrected this.
    it would take place with +44, Cobra Starship, The Academy Is... and Paul Wall as supporting acts. The show at Phoenix would be taped and become Fall Out Boy's first live album. Replace would with was. simple past rather than conditional.
    Corrected.
    and the song is currently on its chart run. Still? Replace with less specific timeline wording.
    Corrected. Also fixed similar issues with outdated wording (or the potential to become outdated) in other areas of the article.
    In general, the group has direct ties to melodic pop music,... What does in general mean?
    No idea, and none of it was in the provided source. I cut the whole sentence.
    Charity work Does this need a separate section?
    Removed.
    Lead: should fully summarize the article, please familiarise yourself with WP:LEAD.
    I restored this to be closer to what it was when it achieved GA. I'll expand with the more recent history soon.
    Thorough copy-editing throughout is needed.  Done
  2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.
    a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):

#:: Ref #12 is a dead link; ref #32 [1] is not RS; ref #33 needs properly formatting as news item from the BBC; ref #30 is a scan of a Rolling stone article, not RS, cite the print article if you like, but scans prove nothing; ref #32 redirects to band website; ref #35 - youtube is not RS; ref #27 is a social networking site, not RS; REF #34 is a blog, not RS; ref #26 is a blog; ref #25 is a dead link; ref #21 is a blog; ref #19 is a car sales site, not RS. Overall referencing is poor and poorly formatted, bare html should be properly formatted using citation templates.

  1. The numbers are off now because of changes, but tinymediaempire.com (what was #32) is an RS. That's the website and blog post of the artist that did the cover art for the album, which is what is being referenced. So that's a primary source. Also, the personal blog of Pete Wentz would also be an appropriate primary source, but the site seems to have been taken down, so I've removed that. I think everything else has either been updated with archive info or removed, and all formatted. Going through now to replace dead links with new ones.
    Ref #11 [V] Vivid Seats is a full service ticket marketplace - not WP:RS; ref #23 looks as if it may be a WP:SPS, makes no mention of song appearing on a n album, rather on a DVD; ref #28 [2] doesn't support the statement, just a few lines of text; ref #31 suggests that it has been announced as "Blink and Weezer will be touring together this summer, and they're taking Fall Out Boy with them. ". Yet the article says thathey toured - past tense - tours are announced all the time, not all of them happen; ref #32 is a blog, which may or may not have been posted by the cover artist - not RS, please read the policy; ref #2 "Musicmight is a Rock database established online by Garry Sharpe-Young in 2001. Want to add information to this database? Just register - it's simple!" - not a RS; ref #5 Tv.com "Registration allows you to write reviews, participate in our lively discussions, and contribute to show, episode and person guides" not a RS; ref #34 is not a RS
  2. It is broad in its coverage.
    a (major aspects): b (focused):
  3. It follows the neutral point of view policy.
    Fair representation without bias:
  4. It is stable.
    No edit wars, etc.:
  5. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
    a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
  6. Overall:
    Pass/Fail:
    Concerns listed above, please focus on providing reliable and verifiable sources. On hold for seven days. Major contributors and projects will be informed. Jezhotwells (talk) 15:36, 22 November 2009 (UTC)
    Responses above from Lara ☁. 17:18, 22 November 2009 (UTC)
    Ok, the prose and style side is greatly improved, thank you. Just the referencing to fix. Jezhotwells (talk) 21:09, 22 November 2009 (UTC)
    They're all fixed. Lara05:34, 29 November 2009 (UTC)
    I beg to differ, we have quite a few new unreliable sources. Please read up on verifiability and RS, consider statements such as "Articles should be based upon reliable, third-party published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy" and "How accepted, high-quality reliable sources use a given source provides evidence, positive or negative, for its reliability and reputation. The more widespread and consistent this use is, the stronger the evidence. For example, widespread citation without comment for facts is evidence of a source's reputation and reliability for similar facts, while widespread doubts about reliability weigh against it. If outside citation is the main indicator of reliability, particular care should be taken to adhere to other guidelines and policies, and to not represent unduly contentious or minority claims. The goal is to reflect established views of sources as far as we can determine them." and how they apply to many of the sources in this article. Until this article is reliably sourced it is not worthy of GA status, so I am delisting it. Jezhotwells (talk) 18:32, 1 December 2009 (UTC)
Dubious section moved to Talk:Fall Out Boy#Dubious. Lara04:23, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

Dubious

Someone tagged one of the refs with the dubious tag but didn't start the obligatory discussion, so here it is.

While the reference for Wentz referring to the band as "pop-punk" is clearly a scripted video meant to be comical, this particular aspect of it doesn't seem to be a joke. This comment is made early in the video during the build up to the joke and appears to be a literal reference to their genre. Lara03:39, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

It is a you tube reference, so fails WP:RS, hence the tag. Please address the referencing issues other wise the article will be de-listed. Jezhotwells (talk) 03:51, 29 November 2009 (UTC)
I did address some, in the process of addressing others, but there seems to be a misunderstanding about what constitutes a reliable source. Certain websites are not automatically unreliable, just as certain formats (like blogs) are not necessarily unreliable. Primary sources, of which this YouTube video is, are considered reliable sources.
As an aside, I put this back under a level 2 header because 1/ it's relevant for discussion outside of the GAR regardless of how it goes, and 2/ the link on the dubious template automatically directs to this section, so it needs to be separate. Lara04:21, 29 November 2009 (UTC)
The fact that it is YouTube does not make a reference unreliable. If the video is posted by a legitamate source, for example the official Fall Out Boy channel or their label's channel, then it may be used. This avoids copyright infringement, there is really no other reason not to use a video as a reliable source. If i get time I'll put some work into this page and help get it back up to GA. kiac.

Please change "Chenney" to "Cheney".

 Done I've reworded the sentence to something clearer and more encyclopedic. There was no need to mention Cheney. Timmeh 13:08, 25 July 2009 (UTC)


On the Folie a Deux section, mention is made about the meaning of "America's Suithearts", supposedly from Wentz's mouth itself. "Wentz said at a recent concert in Sydney, Australia, this song is about the ongoing Bush administration." Citation needed, perhaps? Surf Wisely. -dolst —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dolst (talkcontribs) 21:56, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

It says in the Believers Never Die: Greatest Hits section that the Madison Square Garden show was on September 27. It was actually on October 4th, 2009, and Pete Wentz did not exactly announce an indefinite hiatus, but that it would be "their last show for a while." —Preceding unsigned comment added by Katinthehat1414 (talkcontribs) 21:07, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

Please edit out the "indefinite hiatus." In this article (http://omg.yahoo.com/news/fall-out-boy-keeping-abreast-of-digital-revolution/28990), Pete explicitly states that the band is not on a hiatus:

"Maybe we will start recording again in two weeks; maybe it will be three years. I don't really know. There is no plan in motion at all and no one has said the "H" word (hiatus) no matter how many times people try to get us to say it. " —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.112.153.33 (talk) 01:18, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

Please change the genre of the band from Rock to Pop or at least Pop/Rock because their music is about as rock as Lady Gaga, thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.240.114.232 (talk) 12:49, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

List of Tour Stops

This page needs a listing of the stops on their tours. Someone deleted the pages for the Believers Never Die tours that had it, but it's significant information. PrepJock101 (talk) 14:52, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

Picture

My god, that picture is ancient. Someone please update with a more current one, with all the members in it actually. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.220.10.94 (talk) 03:43, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

?

what did they do that made every one thin they were a sell out? i dont think thats adressed in this article--65.2.10.12 (talk) 02:30, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

Break Up?

Did Fall Out Boy officially break up? cause unless theyve stated its absolutly over then we shouldnt say its over. If it is we should update the article then. mrnintendoman (talk) 14:52, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

As of Feburary 3, 2010, the band has unofficially broke up. I updated the parts of the article that had not already been updated with such information. --Freaky Face Films (talk) 02:05, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

According to Andy Hurley and Pete Wentz they are still on their break and therefore are not in the band right now, as in they aren't in Fall Out Boy mode if we just back off and give them time they'll come back to being the band when they are ready.Bookbrace (talk) 18:38, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

So can we change it back to just break? Were misinforming the readers and probably scaring the crap out of 13 year olds everywhere mrnintendoman (talk) 14:52, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

As stated in the section below, I refreshed the "Unofficial Breakup" section and added new/more current information, which yes, does include the fact that band is technically again on "break" and has still not broken up. The indefinite hiatus has therefore been re-confirmed and that has been added in as well. Best of all, once more, the article starts with "Fall Out Boy IS" and not "Fall Out Boy WAS" :D --Freaky Face Films (talk) 04:42, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

Pete Wentz offically quit the band the other day. He announced it on Twitter. Joe Trohman later went on to say that he quit to then twittered that he was just joking and he really didn't quit the band. I don't know if they broke up or just found a new band leader, all I know is, as I stated earlier, that Pete Wentz quit the band. —Preceding unsigned comment added by ChelseaDavis1901 (talkcontribs) 19:01, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
