French FA improvement opportunity

Frwiki's copy of Soundgarden was promoted to an FA in 2023; would anyone besides me be interested in transcribing information or sources in the future to perhaps finally get this one promoted to the star? mftp dan ^oops 14:33, 11 January 2025 (UTC)Reply

Inconsistent - should the Nudedragons performance in 2024 be included?

In the infobox, next to the 'years active', someone had wrote 'Do not add "2024" here! They did not perform as Soundgarden in 2024.'

But, in the Members section, 2024 is included next to the members' years and also in the timeline graphic.

Ultimately it needs to be consistent. So, should 2024 be considered as part of Soundgarden's 'active years'? If yes, then I assume Shaina Shepherd should be listed as a Former Member or Former Touring Member then, since she performed during the full night.

Though I'm personally inclined to not include 2024 at all. Xanarki (talk) 19:42, 9 November 2025 (UTC)Reply
