North American city links edit

In tour articles on Wikipedia, North American city links are expressed as either [[Buffalo, New York|Buffalo]] or [[Buffalo, New York]] and not as [[Buffalo, New York|Buffalo, NY]] because the postal codes are not well known outside of North America and they go against MOS:POSTABBR. If readers need "instant clarification" instead of clicking on the links provided, then the appropriate links to use are the city, state links. As such, I have made these changes to the table. If you disagree, plus explain here so a consensus can be reached instead of reverting. Aspects (talk) 04:45, 29 October 2016 (UTC)Reply

Supergroup? edit

Is ARW really a supergroup? By the WP definition, they are not. The definition clearly states such a group is comprised of members from separate previously successful groups. This does not seem to apply to the members of ARW. I believe that ARW is very plainly a spinoff group of Yes but is not a supergroup. An example of a supergroup would be Asia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.64.207.75 (talk) 17:41, 4 December 2016 (UTC)Reply

Actually a supergroup is either what you describe or a group with enormous international success, like Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Muse, The Who which are relatively few in number. However, for fans of ARW/Yes it seems wholly unsatisfactory to refer to ARW as a "spin-off", just as it seems equally unsatisfactory to refer to the earlier group, ABWH as a "spin-off" group. The term "supergroup" may be better here as Rabin and Wakeman have never been properly part of a band together before ARW. They performed together on the Yes tour of 1991-92 but their album was recorded as 2 bands, Yes and ABWH who simply joined together to tour. This band is much more of a single unit consisting of ex-Yes members of very different periods. Dyolf87 (talk) 11:54, 5 December 2016 (UTC)Reply
What terminology do reliable sources use about the band? Bondegezou (talk) 08:08, 6 December 2016 (UTC)Reply
