I don't know how to add the "citations needed" supertext, but if I did, I'd put it on many of the paragraphs in this article. I've been trying to clean up some of the article's style, but I can't vouch for the content.
DO NOT REMOVE THE TOP PICTURE!!! the one you people keep putting in is horrible! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Joshmd ( talk • contribs) 21:28, 10 August 2006.
It's really annoying that I created a Release The Stars page and now that page automatically redirects to "Rufus Wainwright" and I don't know how to do redirects. I'm looking but not figuring it out. We have a track listing and an album cover but no album page. Could whoever applied the redirect please undo it? Thanks - Laikalynx 03:54, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
What happened to the photo? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 81.159.6.78 ( talk • contribs) 00:58, 27 February 2006 (UTC).
We have four perfectly good free licensed images on the commons. Use one of them.-- Fallout boy 19:48, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
Hey, this is a really odd choice of pictures, isn't it? None where you really see his facial features - as opposed to almost any picture you will find when googling his name - but instead three really similar guitar pictures AND three from Sundance? (This is unsigned as I don't know how to do that, sorry - but please do think about my comment)
This is listed here as an album due to come out in 2007. Could anyone please provide any more information? Will this be a full-length album? I've tried looking it up on Google but haven't found anything. -- DearPrudence 23:02, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
Image:Poses cover.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
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 insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. BetacommandBot 08:09, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

This article failed good article nomination. This is how the article, as of July 28, 2007, compares against the six good article criteria:

The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:Rufus Wainwright/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.
I beleive this is untrue;
"Rufus has enjoyed many happy years with his wife and the mother of his 3 children, Rachell Elizabeth Stricker-Wainwright." He is not married. He is openly gay. |

Just to point something out, the photo at the top says January 21st and the one at the end says January 22nd. He's wearing exactly the same clothes, in front of the same backdrop, and is photographed from the same angle. Is this a mistake?
Is that really his laugh at the end of Harvester of Hearts? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 201.21.96.49 ( talk) 23:09, 24 February 2007 (UTC).

In the Nick Hornby book "Slam", the main characters baby is named after Wainwright, as his album is playing when the baby was born. The album was a choice of the main characters mother-in-law, but it is not mentioned which song is playing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.138.40.187 ( talk) 01:12, 20 November 2010 (UTC)
The intro says 7 albums. Isn't this outdated with release of so many more? werldwayd ( talk) 05:00, 4 May 2012 (UTC)
