New album needs to be added
editIn the third paragraph of the article before the sections, make sure to add the album, The Forest Is the Path before the sentence that says that Jonny Quinn and Paul Wilson left the band in 2023. 104.33.147.194 (talk) 23:39, 5 October 2024 (UTC)

The Forest Is the Path
editIn the section "The Forest Is the Path (2024-present)", make sure to add more details on that section by writing more sentences describing the new album and singles of the album. 167.88.224.163 (talk) 21:43, 9 October 2024 (UTC)

- Oh right, I didn't notice that. Why not set up an account? 😃 Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 02:27, 11 October 2024 (UTC)

More information needs to be included in the section, The Forest Is the Path (2024–present) Hikingboii (talk) 06:26, 5 December 2024 (UTC)
Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. Cannolis (talk) 09:10, 5 December 2024 (UTC)
Fix hatnote
editIs it okay if I fix the hatnote? I want to change the redirect template to the about template because "Snow patrol" is already mentioned throughout this article. Hikingboii (talk) 06:59, 7 April 2025 (UTC)
Snow Patrol are Irish
editSnow Patrol are an Irish band. All members were born in Ireland, and identify as Irish. None of them are Scottish. They just met in Scotland when in college. Nothing more. That does not make them "Scottish". Please correct. 79.116.101.121 (talk) 13:25, 6 September 2025 (UTC)
- Band origins are generally established based on where the group was founded, which in this case appears to be Dundee, Scotland, and that's why they are considered to be a Northern Irish–Scottish rock band. Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 14:40, 6 September 2025 (UTC)
- In fairness, OP may have a point - the band's self-published [about section] on Spotify describes them as Northern Irish. Sure, they formed in Dundee, but the current three members are from NI...maybe worth a change? Kpedimbourg (talk) 00:12, 25 February 2026 (UTC)
- I'm with Revirvlkodlaku on this one, plus there was already a discussion in the past, in which a consensus was reached to use Northern Irish–Scottish as their nationality. HorrorLover555 (talk) 07:38, 25 February 2026 (UTC)
- I may be willing to revise my original position on this, actually. Since all members are NI, I'm leaning more toward labelling them as Northern Irish... Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 08:10, 25 February 2026 (UTC)
- As they are within that range, I have no objections to labelling them as Northern Irish. HorrorLover555 (talk) 17:24, 25 February 2026 (UTC)
