This page says there were 5 tours whereas Change Tour says it was the girls' fourth and final tour. Stifle (talk) 14:16, 22 November 2019 (UTC)Reply

Merger proposal

Latest comment: 6 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Formal proposal to merge Mutya Keisha Siobhan to this article after reversion of this bold merger. MKS article largely repeats information here, with some extra detail that strays into non-notability (such as unsourced tour setlist and long list on unreleased songs). Now the original trio have reclaimed the Sugababes name, there is no distinction between the two bands - they just used a different name for legal reasons for a couple of years. And, although this wasn't known publicly until later, the Jade/Amelle/Heidi iteration of the Sugababes had disbanded before the other three reunited. U-Mos (talk) 19:44, 18 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

Timeline of members

Latest comment: 4 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

The artists were put into non-chronological order. I have reverted this. (Note that Keisha was the third member to join the group, not the first.)
The exact date information has been removed by rounding all the dates to the nearest year. I've corrected this. (Note that the MKS lineup didn't officially reform until mid 2012, while the HAJ lineup were still active.)
The colours were changed to very ugly ones, which could be misconstrued as a political statement, since they are very similar to a well-known political activist flag. I have used more neutral, attractive colours.

However, this new table format has created two problems which I am not able to fix:

The album information had been totally removed
The new table format doesn't allow the chart to automatically update to the current date, therefore it has to be manually updated every year.

In light of this, perhaps the timeline should just be reverted back to how it was in August - with the album information? I invite others to look at both options and decide Grand Dizzy (talk) 01:27, 11 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

801265842 for DIY Magazine is a fake OCLC that I suppose was added to the magazine's Wikipedia article as a hoax; it should be removed from the DIY citation. ~2026-41404-95 (talk) 14:21, 5 August 2026 (UTC)Reply
