New Order provide backing vocals and instrumentation. If that doesn't merit a (with New Order) after the song name, I doubt some of the other ones there merit it either. Reverting. -- Kiand 11:51, 30 May 2005 (UTC)
Well, the first one makes it clear that New Order appear on that track, but it doesn't refer to them being featured (and the journalistic English makes it difficult to judge); the second one (once I'd copied and pasted the text; who on Earth designed that site?) contradicts the first one in most respects, but again implies that New Order appear but not that they're featured; the third one comes closest to backing up your claim, but doesn't quite do it.
Why not point out that the album involved a number of collaborators, and then add their names to the track listing using the form "(with xyz)"? Mel Etitis ( Μελ Ετητης) 13:06, 30 May 2005 (UTC)
In fact I removed "(featuring New Order)", as the History clearly shows ( [1]), and your other edits were the same ( [2] & [3]-- Kiand 21:54, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)). Still, it's good that you've moved to "with" now. Perhaps the others should be edited similarly, and the other collaborations added? Mel Etitis ( Μελ Ετητης) 14:14, 30 May 2005 (UTC)
Enough of this. I own the album and it clearly states that " Rich Girl", "Bubble Pop Electric" and "Long Way to Go" are collaborations. "The Real Thing" is not a collaboration. It's that simple. If you don't believe me, check your closest music store and look at the back of the album. Track number nine, "The Real Thing", has no collaboration. Therefore, New Order does not appear on this record. That's how simple it is. DrippingInk 21:36, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

My view:
Best Buy is carrying a "digipak" version [4]. Hardback book-style CD case with ribbon page bookmarker and a separate Cd wallet included. Not sure how to note this in the article... the CD itself has no extra songs and I'm not sure if this is a Best Buy exclusive(wasn't noted as such when I bought it there). BB's page doesn't even bother to specify the extra details either. 206.162.192.39 14:03, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
An anon wonders (aggressively) why I reverted his/her edit: "*'Cool' (now on radio)". I hope that the reason's clear to everyone else. "Now on radio" is telegraphic and vague; whose radio? where? does this mean that it's been officially released? if so, when?
If it has been released, could someone edit the article accordingly? -- Mel Etitis ( Μελ Ετητης) 22:09, 12 July 2005 (UTC)
...What? The problem with English professors. God. Anyways, "Cool" indeed documents the relationship Stefani once had with Tony Kanal. Maybe not heavily (I highly doubt that), but if you just read the lyrics ("After all that we've been through / I know we're cool", "And after all the obstacles it's good to / See you now with someone else", "And it's such a miracle that you and meet are still good friends", and "I'll be happy for you if you can / Be happy for me".

In discussing the track "Harajuku Girls," I find that stating that the track was "panned" due to its "homoeroticism" is offensive, as homoeroticism is not a negative quality, and was not stated in the cited article as being a reason for its being panned. Therefore, I am , for a "good reason," deleting the words "homoerotic" and "and," irrevocably changing the article. 12.135.58.53 19:14, 11 April 2007 (UTC)scharles

Three singles from the album have been made featured and the other four are good articles,yet the album is not featured.Sounds odd. User: luxurious.gaurav
Now can this article be made featured? User:luxurious.gaurav
I noticed many grammatical errors in this article, mostly involving comparisons between unlike objects. For instance, one cannot compare an album with a music genre, as they are not in the same category of object. Rather, one must compare an album with other albums in the given genre. This happens repeatedly throughout the article in the form of comparisons between L.A.M.B. and pop music or L.A.M.B. and eighties music, instead of L.A.M.B. and other pop albums or L.A.M.B. and albums from the eighties. As I'm not invested in this article, maybe someone else who is invested can give it a grammar check. ask123 15:16, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
I remember Stefani said something about wanting to release the album under the pseudonym GS (her initials), but I can't seem to find anything about it? Does anyone else know if/where she said that? 17Drew 05:06, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
Yes, she said that. It's on the No Doubt official site http://nodoubtweb.com/wordpress/?p=298 I hope you are able to find it. There is a lot written on the page. I know u will be able to find it. To help you, the paragraph in which the line is starts with "To hear stefani tell it.....talked her out of it." Actually, if u want it directly, go to entertainment weekly and get it. but i found it on the No Doubt site. Someone copy pasted it on the site. User:Luxurious.gaurav
Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh....Congrats everyone who worked on the article and supported the article. Luxurious.gaurav 08:13, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
I've removed this:
This is related to a discussion of the specific criticisms, on Talk:Harajuku Girls, and a feeling that overall a small number of criticisms were being over-represented on that article. The criticism being directed at Stefani's use of the dancers, also has inappropriate weighting in this article about an album.
In addition I noticed that the Village Voice reference takes Anne Ishii's statement that "Rumor has it that they were contractually obliged by Gwen Stefani (or her PR gurus) not to speak English while on tour, despite being fluent in the language" as a statement of fact that they were so obliged. This is very inappropriate sourcing.
I'm also at a loss to understand what these criticisms of the Harajuku Girls phenomenon have to do with the lyrical content of a 2004 album. -- Tony Sidaway 10:39, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
Our lead section says it received "mixed reviews", but I can't find much evidence of that. NME and Rolling Stone absolutely loved it. What's all that about? -- Tony Sidaway 11:07, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
Not to dismiss the tremendous cultural impact of Gwen Stefani and her music, but I am wondering how this article came to be a "today's featured article" when 6 months ago (June 13) the "Hollaback Girl" article was featured. Is somebody pulling strings? Dan Levy ( talk) 00:21, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
Not to dismiss the "tremendous" impact you have here on this talk page, but I am wondering if maybe somebody has a vendetta against Gwen Stefani? The featured page recognition just goes to show how dedicated the editors of the pages about she and her music are to great quality.

Hello, after reading this article, I spotted some minor errors.
Frontwoman split into two
The album was designed as an updated version of an 1980s music record it’s "a," not "an"
In early 2003 do not wikilink; unless it is preceded with a full date
"The only significant '80s radio style skipped is the ska revival that No Doubt rode to success". The quotation, I think, is a direct quotation started with a capital letter and ends with a period. Therefore, the period should be written within the quotation marks.
Criticised English or British usage?

Ridiculous. This album is now four years old and information about it should be well-established. Edit-warring about detailed definitions is disruptive to the the encyclopedia, let alone pissing me off beyond belief, and especially when sockpuppets keep on changing it to their own tastes. I've replaced the unreliably-sourced list with one that IS reliably-sourced. Having said that, there seems to be a confusion about the difference between genre and style; the album taken as a whole has a reliably-sourced genre, whereas individual tracks may exhibit variations of style within that genre. I'm not going to fully-protect this article right now, but if any more unreliably-sourced (and that includes completely unsourced) genres appear in the infobox, I'll lock it immediately. anyone changing the genre field without citing a source is liable to be blocked. -- Rodhull andemu 21:49, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
It's dance-pop, it should be done. It's not rock at all, so fuck that stupid article. Why are we basing Wiki pages around biased sources? Who cares if it's sourced, it doesn't mean it's true.

Hi ghuys, how did you manage to keep as many as 3 fair-use audio samples in the article? I thought the basic policy was "minimal fair-use content". Netrat ( talk) 02:01, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
Don't know if this belongs in the article, but her quote about the song Yesterday might be misleading or ambiguous to others as it was just now for me... She talks about songwriting and apparently brings up the Beatles' Yesterday, a huge early example of smashing pop songwriting success. It was written mostly by Paul in the fairly early Beatles days, and that song has pretty much gotten covered by more major artists and just in general more than any other song besides Happy f****n Birthday man, I mean c'mon!!!, no seriously more often than any other original rock/pop tune and I believe that's citable. Which was the reason for her using it as like the Mona Lisa as an example of pop tunesmithing. Anyway, the point is that from the wording of the quote given here, it's kinda tough to distinguish whether or not Gwen realizes a key fact about the song to which she refers: There's NO CHORUS in that song. There are ample reliable sources to verify that fact, which actually occurred to me upon reading the article and seeing the quote, as I am familiar with the tune.* But in her defense, it should be said likewise that she might have known there's no chorus, in which case the quote meant something more like 'if I was sitting there in the room at the time with Paul etc., and the song was being worked on, and it needed a chorus, and I happened to come up with a good one, then that one accomplishment would be forever remarkable...' etc. and should be read as such. *I thought it was quick intro, then a 'verse verse bridge' section that repeats slightly modified somehow, with a solo in there in the middle.

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Love. Angel. Music. Baby.'s orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
Reference named "UK":

The result of the move request was: no consensus to move the page to any particular title at this time, per the discussion below. Dekimasu よ! 21:36, 31 January 2019 (UTC)
Love. Angel. Music. Baby. → Love Angel Music Baby – There appears to be no clear consistency when it comes to how the album title is written in the media. There are various sources for different variations of the title:
I believe that Love Angel Music Baby is the most appropriate title for this article. The reasoning being that the others are simply a stylization, which is not included in albums such as Janet (album), Shakira (album), Mad Love (JoJo album). In addition, Gwen's website, Spotify and Tidal refer to the album as such ( iTunes appears inconsitent). — Status ( talk · contribs) 16:15, 13 January 2019 (UTC) --Relisting.

This happens repeatedly throughout the article in the form of comparisons between L.A.M.B. and pop music or L.A.M.B. and eighties music, instead of L.A.M.B. and other pop albums or L.A.M.B. and albums from the eighties. As I'm not invested in this article, maybe someone else who is invested can give it a grammar check. ask123 15:16, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
I remember Stefani said something about wanting to release the album under the pseudonym GS (her initials), but I can't seem to find anything about it? Does anyone else know if/where she said that? 17Drew 05:06, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
Yes, she said that. It's on the No Doubt official site http://nodoubtweb.com/wordpress/?p=298 I hope you are able to find it. There is a lot written on the page. I know u will be able to find it. To help you, the paragraph in which the line is starts with "To hear stefani tell it.....talked her out of it." Actually, if u want it directly, go to entertainment weekly and get it. but i found it on the No Doubt site. Someone copy pasted it on the site. User:Luxurious.gaurav
Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh....Congrats everyone who worked on the article and supported the article. Luxurious.gaurav 08:13, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
I've removed this:
This is related to a discussion of the specific criticisms, on Talk:Harajuku Girls, and a feeling that overall a small number of criticisms were being over-represented on that article. The criticism being directed at Stefani's use of the dancers, also has inappropriate weighting in this article about an album.
In addition I noticed that the Village Voice reference takes Anne Ishii's statement that "Rumor has it that they were contractually obliged by Gwen Stefani (or her PR gurus) not to speak English while on tour, despite being fluent in the language" as a statement of fact that they were so obliged. This is very inappropriate sourcing.
I'm also at a loss to understand what these criticisms of the Harajuku Girls phenomenon have to do with the lyrical content of a 2004 album. -- Tony Sidaway 10:39, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
Our lead section says it received "mixed reviews", but I can't find much evidence of that. NME and Rolling Stone absolutely loved it. What's all that about? -- Tony Sidaway 11:07, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
Not to dismiss the tremendous cultural impact of Gwen Stefani and her music, but I am wondering how this article came to be a "today's featured article" when 6 months ago (June 13) the "Hollaback Girl" article was featured. Is somebody pulling strings? Dan Levy ( talk) 00:21, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
Not to dismiss the "tremendous" impact you have here on this talk page, but I am wondering if maybe somebody has a vendetta against Gwen Stefani? The featured page recognition just goes to show how dedicated the editors of the pages about she and her music are to great quality.

I've noticed that 'Lyrical content' tends to go from one place to another, and I see no reason for the LAMB dolls to be included in that section, honestly, not even in the article at all. Any reason to be kept? EsocksLAMB ( talk) 00:59, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
It's useless. Here's the song she collaborated with him on: South Side (song). -- Pwnage8 ( talk) 13:04, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
Hello, after reading this article, I spotted some minor errors.
Frontwoman split into two
The album was designed as an updated version of an 1980s music record it’s "a," not "an"
In early 2003 do not wikilink; unless it is preceded with a full date
"The only significant '80s radio style skipped is the ska revival that No Doubt rode to success". The quotation, I think, is a direct quotation started with a capital letter and ends with a period. Therefore, the period should be written within the quotation marks.
Criticised English or British usage?
59th citation which states "Top Album Acheievements" Wrong spelling

on this album are hip-hop?!? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Shirlthemanson ( talk • contribs) 12:46, 12 February 2008 (UTC) this album is not even CLOSE to hip-hop —Preceding unsigned comment added by Shirlthemanson ( talk • contribs) 17:50, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
The part about influences on other albums is TOTALLY unnecessary. If nelly furtado was inspired by Gwen stefani than it should go in NELLY FURTADOS ARTICLE!!!! not Gwen Stefani's Whos idea was this? Its stupid and should be removed.

Ridiculous. This album is now four years old and information about it should be well-established. Edit-warring about detailed definitions is disruptive to the the encyclopedia, let alone pissing me off beyond belief, and especially when sockpuppets keep on changing it to their own tastes. I've replaced the unreliably-sourced list with one that IS reliably-sourced. Having said that, there seems to be a confusion about the difference between genre and style; the album taken as a whole has a reliably-sourced genre, whereas individual tracks may exhibit variations of style within that genre. I'm not going to fully-protect this article right now, but if any more unreliably-sourced (and that includes completely unsourced) genres appear in the infobox, I'll lock it immediately. anyone changing the genre field without citing a source is liable to be blocked. -- Rodhull andemu 21:49, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
It's dance-pop, it should be done. It's not rock at all, so fuck that stupid article. Why are we basing Wiki pages around biased sources? Who cares if it's sourced, it doesn't mean it's true. The sky isn't pink just because a reliable source says it is. 71.59.189.46 ( talk) 07:23, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
Hm, well, that's fucking retarded. It's not rock though, so..go ahead and pick and choose what you want to use for a source. [: Blindeffigy ( talk) 10:10, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
Hi ghuys, how did you manage to keep as many as 3 fair-use audio samples in the article? I thought the basic policy was "minimal fair-use content". Netrat ( talk) 02:01, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
Don't know if this belongs in the article, but her quote about the song Yesterday might be misleading or ambiguous to others as it was just now for me... She talks about songwriting and apparently brings up the Beatles' Yesterday, a huge early example of smashing pop songwriting success. It was written mostly by Paul in the fairly early Beatles days, and that song has pretty much gotten covered by more major artists and just in general more than any other song besides Happy f****n Birthday man, I mean c'mon!!!, no seriously more often than any other original rock/pop tune and I believe that's citable. Which was the reason for her using it as like the Mona Lisa as an example of pop tunesmithing. Anyway, the point is that from the wording of the quote given here, it's kinda tough to distinguish whether or not Gwen realizes a key fact about the song to which she refers: There's NO CHORUS in that song. There are ample reliable sources to verify that fact, which actually occurred to me upon reading the article and seeing the quote, as I am familiar with the tune.* But in her defense, it should be said likewise that she might have known there's no chorus, in which case the quote meant something more like 'if I was sitting there in the room at the time with Paul etc., and the song was being worked on, and it needed a chorus, and I happened to come up with a good one, then that one accomplishment would be forever remarkable...' etc. and should be read as such. *I thought it was quick intro, then a 'verse verse bridge' section that repeats slightly modified somehow, with a solo in there in the middle.

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Love. Angel. Music. Baby.'s orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
Reference named "UK":
I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 18:49, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

The result of the move request was: no consensus to move the page to any particular title at this time, per the discussion below. Dekimasu よ! 21:36, 31 January 2019 (UTC)
Love. Angel. Music. Baby. → Love Angel Music Baby – There appears to be no clear consistency when it comes to how the album title is written in the media. There are various sources for different variations of the title:
I believe that Love Angel Music Baby is the most appropriate title for this article. The reasoning being that the others are simply a stylization, which is not included in albums such as Janet (album), Shakira (album), Mad Love (JoJo album). In addition, Gwen's website, Spotify and Tidal refer to the album as such ( iTunes appears inconsitent). — Status ( talk · contribs) 16:15, 13 January 2019 (UTC) --Relisting.
