French article says formed in Montreal.. fact check

On the official April Wine website it says that they were formed in Nova Scotia; so Montreal is out. "By the spring of 1970 April Wine had relocated from Halifax to Montreal" is also stated...looks like the French page is wrong. Décartes 23:24, 30 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This might be helpful. According to album credits from "The Nature of the Beast" and "Power Play", artists are credited as Steve Lang not Jeff Lange and Gary Moffet not Gary Moffat.

Improper referencing style

With regard to today's addition of referneces: I am sure they are great but the method of aligning tham at the top of the page is lazy and improper (ie, inconsistent with wiki style). Perhaps the editor could put them in their proper locations to back up assertions in the text? Verne Equinox 01:55, 2 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Lack of Images - Looking Bad

Now that the Wiki administrators (and know-it-all's) have marched through and trashed all the images, I think this article is in desperate need of a little eye-candy. The lack of images makes this article look bad, and very poorly produced, when compared to the appearance of other rock artist's wiki's... April Wine deserves better. I'm sure there's no shortage of valid April Wine images available, which can be used tastefully, in true wiki-form. Let's go!

April Wine discography page

I will be considering creating an April Wine discography page, for the area in April Wine's main page looks dull and I would like to make it a whole lot neater and in order. Ltlane777 (talk) 20:53, 11 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Band Member Timeline

I am attempting to put together a timeline of band members (below). Input is appreciated, and I don't have exact dates for all the transitions. → $J J O l s e n$ 22:44, 8 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Timeline

This one is a helluva lot better than the one being used in the article; that one looks like someone just scribbled all over the place. — Ched (talk) 20:17, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

==B-class, 16 February 2007==

Article has a lot of good content and media, but may need more references to get a Good Article status. - cgilbert^{(talk|contribs)} 20:43, 16 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

==Start-class, 20 February 2007== I have downgraded this article from B to Start because of the fallowing reasons:

The lead is to short.
The article has only eight references.
There are numerous red links.
The external links section needs to be cleaned up.

Problem with label information in the article?

Two articles in BillBoard seem to indicate that the band was being represented by Much Productions until 1974.^[1]^[2] The article here says that they were signed much earlier.—Anne Delong (talk) 15:09, 3 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
