Polish chart peaks?
Where from they come, pOland doesn't have any singles chart, only radio charts, airplay charts and TV charts that doesn't coun tthe low sales of singles, just SMS votes.
Which Girl Aloud?
Help identify these members of Girls Aloud please. First off the easy ones I got, the ginger one and the blonde one:
and the ones I don't, one brunette, two highlighted "blondes", and they all look the same. Take your pic from Cheryl Tweedy, Nadine Coyle and Kimberley Walsh
(all images are on the commons, so could you note the results there please.). I think I must be showing my age. Cheers. Dunc|☺ 00:51, 3 September 2005 (UTC)
- 1 is Cheryl (or Ashley Cole's bit of fluff)
- 2 is Kimberley
- 3 is a really bad picture of Nadine, seemingly sans makeup.
- I've answered here as well, in case I've not put the name in the right place on the commons (as I never use it). And the ginger one is the best. Proto t c 10:41, 3 September 2005 (UTC)
- Actually I'm pretty sure you've got 1 and 3 the wrong way round. Will you take another looks please. Theresa Knott (a tenth stroke) 20:58, 4 September 2005 (UTC)
- Compare with their pictures on their CBBC profile - I'm pretty sure they're the right way round. Proto t c 08:40, 5 September 2005 (UTC)
- Afraid you are wrong. 1=Nadine (roundish face), 2=Cheryl (eyes), 3=Kimberley (dark hair). If you need a source then: PTSE 16:41, 9 September 2005 (UTC)
ANSWER
English-Northern Irish
Girls Aloud are listed as "a English-Irish pop girl group" however Nadine Coyle is from Derry in Northern Ireland. They are officially recognised as independent, separate, countries and so for the sake of accuracy it should probably be English-Northern Irish 82.8.194.226 (talk) 01:50, 31 August 2023 (UTC)
- She self-ID's as Irish so there is nothing to really discuss here. She would also be free to choose ROI nationality if she so wished. SinoDevonian (talk) 00:24, 23 November 2023 (UTC)

To be posted under subheading ‘2021-present’:
In September 2023, the remaining members of Girls Aloud registered a new company at Companies House under the name “Let's Go Eskimo Productions LLP”, in reference to the group’s highly successful single “Love Machine”, with their own personal companies listed as officers with significant control. This was reported the following month by many British news outlets which sparked speculation over a potential Girls Aloud reunion despite members previously ruling out a reunion.

- Apologises, I forgot to add sources when originally writing the suggested paragraph for addition.

- Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. All three of the provided sources are tabloids, which are generally not considered reliable sources. Two of them are specifically listed in the Perennial Sources table, one as unacceptable and the other as no consensus for its acceptability (WP:THESUN and WP:DAILYMIRROR). -- Pinchme123 (talk) 03:25, 13 October 2023 (UTC)
- I understand that the sources I provided weren’t reliable and there aren’t any other outlets speculating a reunion so I have removed this. Surely adding information about the remaining members forming “Let's Go Eskimo Productions LLP” would still be acceptable as the source (Companies House) is an official registrar of UK companies and is an official UK government agency? Also, I believe that the company formation is relevant to the group’s page as even if no touring or production efforts have been completed yet under it, it still relates to all of the living members of the group and shows current commercial efforts relating to the group.

- Not done: The source provided is considered a primary source, which limits its utility on Misplaced Pages. In this case, using it to support your suggested new sentence would run afoul of our policies against original research, in addition to not supporting most of the sentence. The source doesn't say anything about why the company in question has this name (or if the song it is purportedly named after is successful), it doesn't say anything about who owns the companies that are listed as officers, etc. The original research is in your analysis of the companies, making the determination that the band members are the ones who started this company because they own the companies that are the officers of this company.

- Basically, please provide a reliable secondary source, where the author has done the determining about the facts and presents the conclusion that you are trying to include here.

- Thank you for your feedback, other than tabloid sources, there aren’t any other secondary sources that haven’t come to the same conclusion that I’m trying to include and so I’m happy to leave it as it is unless other reliable sources report on it in the future. As you can probably tell, I’m quite new to editing on Misplaced Pages and so I’m deeply grateful for your help! Goldyshark2 (talk) 23:29, 13 October 2023 (UTC)

In the "members" section under Sarah Harding, change "since 2023" to "died 2021" or "deceased", because the wording for "since 2023" doesn't make sense because Harding died in 2021 and remaining members of Girls Aloud announced their reunion in 2023, unless if they consider her as an "Eternal Member", which might be a violation of MOS:EUPHEMISM. 2603:6081:893D:13AC:D806:CF25:DE2C:EEAC (talk) 01:00, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
