Sorry, they're not my kind of band. However, one thing - for the appearances section, they also had a song on the fairly high-profile Liberdade: Viva East Timor album a few years ago. Ambi 08:23, 22 Sep 2004 (UTC)

  • Can link The Congo: ...ack 4: Una Noche (Get Up) (Unplugged In The Congo Mix)...

Did Warner's take down the press release, and if so, why? Justin 06:14, 13 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Pronunciation

[edit]

How is the name pronounced? Is it a silent 'p'? Fig (talk) 08:59, 17 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Name origin

[edit]

got an old copy of DJ mag kicking around that has an interview with them where they state the name is the only word from a language they made up while tripping on acid, if i remember i'll try to find it for an issue number for the reference.

actually pretty much all the sources for the name origin back this claim, including the band's press kits. however, I wasn't sure if this was wiki appropriate. Nick Littlemore in more conventional interviews just says he was speaking in tongues, and the acid trip claim has even been proposed by one publication (forget which, I think allmusic) to just being a joke.

Pnau and PNAU

[edit]

@Elton-historian: Please stop changing "Pnau" to "PNAU" because doing so is not only not in accordance with MOS:ALLCAPS and MOS:TMRULES (i.e. Wikipedia's manual of style), you're also introducing quite a number of syntax errors that are causing links and templates to not function properly. I'm quite sure you mean the best, but this isn't how this is done on Wikipedia. -- Marchjuly (talk) 05:12, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Okay. I mean no disrespect. I respect rules and copyright and all those things involved. When I was finished editing the name, I was gonna find a different pic and correct that.
Now, as far as changing Pnau to PNAU. They are actually PNAU, always have been. Because of music streaming platforms and other things involving metadata. It helps to get this right for integrity and making sure that the artists' work all goes in the proper places.
Now, having said that. You may be thinking, "Well why come on here and make a mess of this?". LOL. Well, I had previously made minor changes before, so, I thought this would be a breeze. Apparently, I'm going about this the wrong way. I apologize. How should I go about this? Elton-historian (talk) 05:25, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm sure you mean well, but Wikipedia's Manual of Style is intended to try and keep things as consistent as possible across all of the project's articles for the sake of Wikipedia's integrity. Music streaming platforms and other things probably do things differently according to their style guidelines, but that matters not here. Unlike such sites, Wikipedia articles are typically interlinked to one another using WP:WIKILINKS and often make use of WP:TEMPLATEs to provide. So, when you change a name like you did, you're also potentially breaking such links and causing such templates to not function as intended. The band may stylise their name as "PNAU" and reliably sourced content about this can be added to the article, but this article is not the property of the band; in other words, none of its members or representatives have any final editorial control over it.
As for the image stuff, you need to find a freely licensed or public domain image to use for identification purposes. You should assume that pretty much anything you find online is copyrighted and probably can't be uploaded unless (1) the image is clearly already released under an acceptable free license or (2) you're able to convince its copyright holder to give their WP:CONSENT. Sometimes free images/video content can be found already published online (there's some info on that Wikipedia:Free image resources), other times you can try contacting copyright holders directly per WP:PERMISSION. You could try contacting the band's representatives and see if it would be willing to provide an image that Wikipedia can use. You could also try looking on sites like Flickr to see whether anyone who has seen the band in concert uploaded any photos and is willing to release one of them under an acceptable free license. -- Marchjuly (talk) 06:22, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for all the advice and help. Going forward I will try doing doing better. I have uploaded a new pic and provided the website link and a description.
Thanks again! Elton-historian (talk) 15:40, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
