Talk:They Might Be Giants/Sandbox

New TMBG Page

Regarding the second and third section, anyone mind if I just mash 'em up into "Then, Them..."?

-Luke (Lucretius) (who can't sign in on this computer)

What would be the reasoning behind that? Not enough information for them as individual sections? I suppose it should be fine. :] -CapitalQ ♫ talk ♪ 20:12, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Would anyone like to help me out on this thing? Especially on the last two sections! Anything would be nice... :-/ --Luke 06:54, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Hallelujah! Thanks duke! Yay! :D --Luke 18:56, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

I think I'll take a section. Maybe '90-'99... Just covering what came out, etc. I might change my mind halfway though and pick a different section. --Lemita 01:04, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Move to They Might Be Giants/Sandbox?

Since this page is (so far) just a sandbox for the new They Might Be Giants article, wouldn't it be better to put it as a subpage (/Sandbox) to that page? Stalefries 21:20, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

Yes. :) -CapitalQ ♫ talk ♪ 02:31, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

More TMBG inspired titles?

Shouldn't we make all of the titles TMBG inspired? Some of them are based on songs that have no relation to TMBG whatsoever. --Dunklekuh81

Yes, definitely. A couple random ideas (they're not exactly gems, but they're ideas) I just came up with: "When They was only a zygote" for the early-early-early years; "Then: The Early Years" as the section for when the band becomes more formative; "Not much quiet about reinvention" would be adventures in Podcasting and Dust-Bro-Else-ing from 2005/6 to present; "I'm/They're not done talking yet" or "I'm/They're not done, and I won't be..." for what the future holds. "Children obey what the Giants say" etc. for No! through HCScience and all the children's enterprises. And so on. I'm sure other more clever people can do better. And of course, if no lyric or Giantesque or clever title can be thought of for any certain section, it's always fine to revert to being simply informative-- ie, "The Elektra Years" or "The release of Flood and commercial breakthrough".

However, before we come up with fancy names, WE REALLY SHOULD FILL IN THE PAGE ASAP with all that great biographical information that all of us wonderful wikians are simply dying to jot down in a nice chronological fashion on the wiki. Really. ~ magbatz 00:40, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

A note regarding "tone"

when I first started this, and man do I feel lame for letting it drop, my big goal was to keep the tone encyclopedic. much like wikipedia gets its panties in a bundle over formality. to anyone coming in to write new material, thank you VERY MUCH! but try to keep the tone professional. not casual. etc etc. --Luke 01:56, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

Kids section

Do we really need a kids section at the end? Why not merge No! and Her Comes The Abcs and what not with the corresponding time. --Dunklekuh81
