External link (or lack thereof)[edit]

Originally, an external link was placed on this article to a Geocities page (http://www.geocities.com/punkpsych/matadors.html). However, the page is 1) at Geocities, so merely a fan status without any official standing, and 2) only a review of the album and not of general information to the band. The first clearly runs against the guidelines of WP:EL, and the second also indicates that it shouldn't be included.

Can anyone provide a reason why the link should be included?
I'm guessing they don't have an official web page, but if anybody finds one, can they provide the URL?

Thanks. —C.Fred (talk) 02:43, 28 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re: External link[edit]

1) The article seems to be a copy of an album review. I've seen the same article at various sites already.

2) There is no official Matadors web page. Most infos are available in Czech language only and the source quality may differ. The most reliable and "quasi-official" source is www.musicologica.cz. I have added a link to their Matadors entry: www.musicologica.cz/slovnik/hesla.php?op=heslo&hid=1000505. Of course, since Czech is my native language, I have also corrected many errors and added interesting facts (known to me from Czech only books or from persons who "have been there" - e.g. a friend of mine was a Matadors roadie from the very beginning) to the Wikipedia article. But since I'm neither an experienced nor a very active "wikipedianer", the article may still contain formal as well as grammatical errors... :)

There are other "The Matadors" bands[edit]

I've read about a Danish 60's beat band called "The Matadors", with Tommy Petersen (the Danish one, I guess) as leader. Currently, there is also a "horrorbilly" (or something...) band whose web page is www.thematadors.net. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.59.56.1 (talk) 09:35, 6 January 2008 (UTC) Ups, forgot to sign... --85.59.56.1 (talk) 09:41, 6 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Re: There are other "The Matadors" bands[edit]

Sure there are. I don't even know which one was the first. In the US there were for example Bull & The Matadors, known for their track "The Funky Judge"... Lou Kash (talk) 23:03, 13 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Another band with the same name[edit]

This article was intended to be about The Matadors from Czechoslovakia not about the band from Canada whose article is here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Matadors_(band). Marcin Mińkowski (talk) 23:27, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
