Lyrics Question[edit]

"and I cried at the Common One; for weeks aft' he died" (from "Place Your Hands") Q: Anybody know what 'Common One' refers to?68.174.8.118 (talk) 17:11, 9 December 2007 (UTC) I think the song was about the death of his grandad so it may be refering to him.[reply]

I believe Common One is a reference to a song by Van Morrison. 178.17.43.194 (talk) 11:20, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

And it only took 14 years to answer. --Muhandes (talk) 18:29, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion?[edit]

Why has this been marked for deletion? Reef is a famous rock band and should have an article written about them. They played at the Reading Festival in 1999. There offical website is http://www.reef.co.uk. That link doesn't work any longer. 68.174.8.118 (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 17:21, 9 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

They were at the Reading Festival in 1996 as well, I was there. Digit4l (talk) 14:00, 16 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Needs work[edit]

This page needs a lot of work done to it. For a famous band, they've sure been fobbed off a lot when it comes to having a decent Wiki page.

But surely it is a lot better now ?!

I have got a lot of information that I want to add to this page including some major-ish changes. I think Rides should be under later work rather than commercial success. I do have sources for most of the things that require citation, but not all. I may try and replace some of those with other quotes (I have tons of stuff) that say the same thing. Roktraktor (Dan)

Fair use rationale for Image:Reef-rides.jpg[edit]

Image:Reef-rides.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 22:58, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Terrible page[edit]

Every single date in the Commercial success section is out by a decade.. Just look at the discography to see how the chronology is all messed up. —Preceding unsigned comment added by LivinLOS (talk • contribs) 07:28, 22 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
