Article in need of improvement

I would like to work on this article a bit, seeing as it is not properly sourced. The main issue is that there are not enough sources for their early career - most articles covering the 1996-2003 period could be found on their site only (which is now archived). Would it be okay to use those as long as I clarify that the articles come from third-party sources and were merely hosted on their site? Eva Mitocondriala (talk) 19:43, 7 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Discography

Where did the update to the discography yesterday come from? What is the source for the new album title? CiallNollins (talk) 11:35, 10 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed the unsourced bs. Thanks! Rob van vee 12:00, 10 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

English band?

Beyond the fact of their being formed in London -- stated separately in any case -- I'm struggling to see how a "Scottish-American" and a (possibly British-naturalised?) Swede who met in Luxembourg constitute an "English" band. "British" might be a slight improvement, but maybe we should just skip a band-demonym entirely. 109.255.211.6 (talk) 23:23, 12 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Bad link

there is a link in Other Awards, 2006 Kerrang! Awards for the song Infra-Red but the hyperlink goes to the scientific page of Infra-red light. Correct link should be https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Infra-Red_(Placebo_song). I looked at the "Edit Source" and did not see where to correct it. ^[1] — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jackie.Elle (talk • contribs) 19:42, 13 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
