Gin blossoms are also broken blood vessels in the nose, often found in

alcoholics. 
W.C. Fields is a well known case of this.

If anybody knows the medical term for this condition (and if we have an article for it), we should change this to a disambiguation link at the top of the page. — FREAK OF NUR_xTURE ( TALK) 06:15, 29 September 2005 (UTC) reply

I beleive that the medical term is Rosacea. Most people who have gin blossoms actually have Rosacea, but the alcohol causes flare ups.

• I have added a disambiguation link at the top of the page for clarification. smileyborg 05:26, 21 March 2007 (UTC) reply

what drew me to this band 11 years ago is Jesse Valenzuela's haunting voice....it made me even cry when you listen to the band's break songs like "Found out about you" and "Till i hear it from you"... Kevin

I hear that Philip Rhodes is no longer with the band. I'm hoping somebody knows for sure and and can change the article.--LanceManion1973

That is true, he is not. He was fired in 2002, after he entered rehab. I've made edits - and unfortunately there seems to be few provisions for personal experience, as they keep being questioned. He is my brother, and there are no publications, merely conversations and personal experience. Yardladdie ( talk) 15:38, 23 December 2007 (UTC) reply

I've read from their own mouths their influences, and these were not on the list, or if they were, they weren't the main influences. I'll find the link and correct this, but this is totally inaccurate. Bsd987 19:46, 29 May 2006 (UTC) reply

"From their own mouths" doesn't meet Wikipedia's standards of verifiability, unless they said it somewhere public enough to be quoted by a reliable source. On the other hand, the comment you're objecting to smacks strongly of original research, and should be deleted with extreme prejudice. I'll come back later and take care of it. cheers Xtifr _tälk 06:38, 5 November 2006 (UTC) reply

I've worked a good deal on this article. I've cleaned it up, integrated Trivia, added additional information, etc. Overall, it looks quite nice in my opinion. I think the article is almost ready to have addition sections added such as Style, Influence, Impact, etc. Please try to contribute if possible, by adding relevant info (adding to the Trivia section is not what we need) and adding references and sources! (Those are the hardest.) Anyways, I'm hoping this article will become a solid piece of reference for any person looking for the history, significance, and other general information on the Gin Blossoms! One final thing, I'm sure you can tell, but the GB are one of my favorite bands...with this in mind, I can foresee that POV may somehow slip into the article while I add info...I've tried to keep the article NPOV, but please, feel free to edit wording you think might show a bias! -- smileyborg 05:30, 20 August 2007 (UTC) reply

Please stop editing this article if you are going to simply add incorrect and uncited information. I removed your claim of a supposed changed lyric in "Hey Jealousy" and your own personal interpretation of the meaning behind their second album's title, "Congratulations...I'm Sorry." If you can't back up your facts please don't modify the article. 75.16.43.187 00:41, 19 September 2007 (UTC) reply

First of all, don't accuse me of anything or tell me to stop editing before you check YOUR facts. I admitted earlier that I could have accidentally added POV. But you claim it was I who said Hey Jealousy originally read "you can trust me not to drink" and that I personally interpreted the meaning of CIS. In fact, both those edits were added by other editors, NOT ME. I only reworded them from the trivia section/and or worked them into the proper place in the History section. Proof of this can be found in the article history had you taken the time to search for it: the edits on March 29, 2007 by an anonymous editor added the interpretation of the CIS title (NOT ME). Then once again, the edit on July 23, 2007 added the info of the changed line in Hey Jealousy...once again, from an anon editor (NOT ME). When I recently rewrote the article, I did not try to source claims that were already part of the article, I simply rewrote and integrated them into other parts of the article. (In fact, I ADDED my own sourced quote to the history!) First of all, before you remove potentially factual info such as these two examples, please try to label these claims in the article with Citation Needed tags, instead of simply deleting them. Second, DO NOT accuse ANYONE, including me, of things YOU are not certain of, as you are clearly and blatantly wrong. And also it's not very nice to tell people to stop editing an article, even if they add mistakes here or there...you completely fail to realize the large amount of beneficial work I and many others have put into this article. -- smileyborg 06:41, 4 October 2007 (UTC) reply

This article now has enough original research and unsourced claims that I flagged the article itself. Statements like "Initial attempts to create their first major-label record failed" are left hanging, without explanation or citation. I know the fight against these things may be a losing battle with every fan and Rolling Stone writer wanna-be highly tuned to Wikipedia, but at least readers will know to take many of the article's statements with a grain of salt.

Not blaming anyone in specific; it just is what it is, and what it is is unencyclopedic. If that's a word. :) 98.232.58.2 ([[User

You armchair editors need to register and sign your work. I wouldn't even bother answering you, and just revert any changes you made. -- Jsderwin ( talk) 22:10, 6 April 2009 (UTC) reply

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

I've cut back the external link section; there were more than WP:EL could support, in my view. -- AndrewHowse ( talk) 04:55, 21 April 2011 (UTC) reply

The article needs more sources. I have tagged the article, and several individual sentences, accordingly. SunCrow ( talk) 21:24, 11 December 2018 (UTC) reply
