Original author notes

I created the ABBA article as a diversion from my usual GLBT, marketing and Business areas of interest, as part of the CZ Write-a-thon and the ABBA article should be MUCH longer, but wanted to contribute plus it was a nice change from my usual topics. In the words (well almost) of the band, in their first single: 'ABBA Needs Love'. Much to improve so hope to see it grow from here. --Ian Johnson 17:32, 31 July 2007 (CDT)

Abba

This should be moved to 'Abba', as that is their name in English, from their heyday in the British press, to today's TV video channels. Robert Thorpe 11:57, 13 October 2007 (CDT)

Not sure I would agree as I just checked the official site and they seem to go with ABBA rather than Abba, so I guess the all caps version is the current best option. I do remember though in the 70s they were often cited as "Abba" in the media. --Ian Johnson 10:14, 22 October 2007 (CDT)

On VH1 the other day they were still 'Abba'... Perhaps CZ could introduce a reversed capital B, now that would look good - Robert Thorpe 10:24, 22 October 2007 (CDT)

This is a really cool article. I just condensed it a little bit (took out repetition, for example) without changing a single concept; hope it's okay. Jeffrey Scott Bernstein 11:36, 22 October 2007 (CDT)
