This redirect is protected from editing because it has been the target of cut-and-paste move vandalism. Mel Etitis ( Μελ Ετητης) 13:24, 7 May 2005 (UTC)
I've removed the article from this page; this is a talk page, and articles should not be created here. Mel Etitis ( Μελ Ετητης) 09:33, 8 May 2005 (UTC)
If anyone is vandalising, it is none other than the person who posted the previous two messages. DrippingInk 23:25, 9 May 2005 (UTC)
"The original release-date of "Spice Up Your Life" was delayed for seven days to allow Elton John's "Candle in the Wind" to spend another week at the top of the charts" smells of PR-speak.
Does it really mean "it was delayed so that it would enter the charts at number 1 instead of number 2 as it was feared it would have had it been entered the previous week?" Morwen - Talk 08:14, 7 September 2005 (UTC)
The result of the debate was no consensus for moving. -- Dijxtra 11:44, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

There are no sources for any of the statements in the article. Chart positions, trajectories, sales data, etc. all need sources. Also, many statements are quite slanted. Things like "the song received an overwhelmingly positive initial reaction" and the fact that the video is supposedly "considered by many to rank among the Spice Girls' best" is just not very encyclopedic, not to mention weasely. For such a long page, considering it's for a song, i'm surprised that there are no sources, and that's it's been left in this condition for so long. SKS2K6 09:10, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
A quick search on iTunes shows that this song has been covered by the following: Little Voices, Spice Squirrels, The Hit Crew and The Twang (Curiously enough, a country artist), among others. Is this worth noting in the article? Retro Agnostic ( talk) 03:02, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

Musicfan122 and SnapSnap: You've both now been warned for 3RR. You both seem to feel there is some shame in being the one to start discussion on the article's talk page. Well, shucks, I'll take the shame for both of you.
Feel free to discuss the issue here. I don't care who did what to whom or how horrible the other editor is. Discuss content. - SummerPhD v2.0 16:21, 3 March 2019 (UTC)
