editThis page reads like a promotional release. Needs to be fixed.
In fact, I was looking at their webpage and it turns out that their official biography was just copied and pasted onto Wikipedia.
- Should they really be called a band with only two members? Surely "duo" would be more suitable? Prophaniti 15:22, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
Updates/References
editI'm going to update this page as soon as I can. Within 48 hours. New ref's and everything. Willknowsalmosteverything (talk) 22:00, 3 January 2012 (UTC)
I've now added a couple. I may well come back and do more. Willknowsalmosteverything (talk) 16:35, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
- Cool, thanks for that. However, with your link to the Seven Kingdoms records, you linked to Forefather's article. For future reference, an article should never be linked to itself. Also, while the addition of references is appreciable, it's recommended that the reference format have more than just bare URLs. Peace and happy editing.

Updates/references...finally
editJust made good on my promise...two years later. No longer does the page 'read[] like a promotional release' / contain text from their official biography. Willknowsalmosteverything (talk) 19:12, 23 January 2014 (UTC)

Forefather → Forefather (band) – After being moved, Forefather should be retargeted to Ancestor (same target as Forefathers). 176.42.16.148 (talk) 16:46, 19 April 2024 (UTC)
- Support the band has 171 views but Ancestor has 2,984[[1]] and Google suggests the generic term is primary even from England and would at least be primary by long-term significance. Crouch, Swale (talk) 17:20, 19 April 2024 (UTC)
- Support, obvious really. Hyperbolick (talk) 09:30, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
- Support per common name and above comments. Randy Kryn (talk) 14:08, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
- Support per nom. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:10, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
