This article is about a British band and the article is written in British English, which uses the plural for "nouns of multitude". Please see Comparison of American and British English#Formal and notional agreement for a fuller explanation.

The very first section of WP:ENGVAR is WP:COMMONALITY "Wikipedia tries to find words that are common to all varieties of English." If XXX was the only acceptable word in XXX, then under ENGVAR, that should be used on relevant articles. However, as there is a word "common to all varieties of English" then COMMONALITY requires that it is used, even if other spellings exist

Hi - I am a little WikiGnome, who goes around tidying up spelling mistakes especially words beginning with R. I have learnt a lot about XXXX, changing "Retreived" (ei) to Retrieved (ie).
I know how easy it is to copy and paste one mistake into numerous articles - but could you please correct this spelling before adding it to any more articles? Thanks

Hello, I am a little WP:WikiGnome, who goes around tidying things up.
I notice that you have been adding a lot of flag icons into infoboxes. The policy on this is WP:Manual_of_Style/Icons#Avoid_flag_icons_in_infoboxes which says that "flag icons should not be used in infoboxes, even when there is a "country", "nationality" or equivalent field".
I have removed those flags that I have found, but it would help me if you did not add any more. Thanks ~~~~
