Why is the main image for this article a photo of Bill Drummond ? Surely one of the duo would be better. King dumb ( talk) 00:25, 29 September 2015 (UTC)
It would be nice if the "This user knows what time is love" userbox have included the category and the link "The KLF fans" or something like this, in the footer of userpages. So that the category would automatically collect the list.-- Kochas 23:52, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

Does anybody know what this "upcoming documentation" is about? 84.58.178.90 20:11, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
What exactly does it mean for an artist to "delete" their back catalog? Does it mean it is now in the public domain? Does it mean it's no longer in print? (I think it means something much stronger than this.) Also, I'm listening to The White Room right now on rhapsody.com, so I don't understand what it really means to delete a back catalog. I think this should be clarified in the article, as I think many readers don't really know what it means. Thanks. -- Rajah 04:01, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
It's worth mentioning that this song also samples The Sweet's song Block Buster. I'd throw that into the article if it weren't prepping for front-page status. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.176.15.79 ( talk) 03:11, 7 March 2007 (UTC).
That's a great article. Well done to all involved. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 202.57.142.229 ( talk) 00:55, 9 March 2007 (UTC).
I just wanted to say that the opening line, The KLF, also known as The Justified Ancients of Mu Mu (furthermore known as The JAMs), is absolutely perfect, and gave me a good laugh. Perfect reference to how they refer to themselves in some of the songs, while simultaneously meeting the need for encyclopedic wording. 72.48.98.26 ( talk) 13:57, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
The intro says: "From the outset, they adopted the philosophy espoused by esoteric novels The Illuminatus! Trilogy". That doesn't sound right to my ears. They obviously used the themes of The Illuminatus, but "adopting the philosophy" probably needs a source. Zocky | picture popups 07:50, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
by the lack of a mention of Lori and the Chamaeleons (presumably since it is hard to spell?) as an early venture. I'm really, really sad. See me grin! LessHeard vanU 13:46, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
So hard is 'chameleon' to spell, that even *YOU* failed! ;oD 'Chameleon', like 'octopus', is what I term 'pseudo-Latin', in that it's originally Greek in origin (the Greek spelling is 'cha-MAIL-eon', which makes the 'ae' technically - and etymologically - incorrect ('ai' is the Greek equivalent, and Greek is an older language).
Yes, I am a language bore, I can't help it; I had a absolutely *FANTASTIC* English and Classics teacher (I'm not sure if Classics is really taught as a subject in schools outside the UK and within it, tends only to be in public schools*) and, because English is my 'specialism' (I'm high-functioning autistic, and lasses tend to gravitate more towards humanities, whereas lads lean more toward science and maths) - I was reading by the age of 18 months - I was doing A-Level (exams taken at 18 in UK schools) English and Latin before I was out of prep school (precocious brat, wasn't I...?! ;oP). Besides, she was one of the few who wasn't a nun! (My other favourite was 'Old Vic', who taught me piano and was the conductor/composer of the school orchestra. EVERYONE LOVED him, whether they were taught by him - or not). Y'see, they saw me for what I was - someone who was simply wired differently - rather than the living embodiment of Rosemary's Baby.
That there is a fully developed article on such a topic is amazing. That someone decided to make it a Featured Article is indescribable lunacy. The decision does a disservice to Wiki. What an interesting time we live in. 68.228.70.223 14:40, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Just curious: what typeface did The KLF use in their advertisements? It looks like Impact, but I could be wrong. Ianthegecko 16:56, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
So, The KLF rocked the house over the weekend, but now there's rubbish all over the floor and we've got to clean up.
Here's the diff from pre-front page to now: [2]
Scanning through it, it looks like most of the changes are good. However, I think we ought to go through it as a team and check for any sneaky changes of meaning, red links, Americanisation of language, and what have you.
I think the front page was a success. Evidently from the obscene amount of vandalism a lot of people clicked through to the article. Presumably there's a thousand or more anonymous readers for every vandal... Also quite gratifyingly folks were obviously interested enough to click through to other articles as there was a lot of activity in other KLF articles too.
Job done but not something I care to repeat for a while! :) -- kingboyk 12:20, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
Looking back at the old threads, what lovely comments we got :) Am most happy! -- kingboyk 22:21, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
I thought they were Scots. A point of contention, surely. Most Scots would bristle at such a mis-step in what is otherwise such a tremendous article. T L Miles
For those not in the know - KLF mean Kopyright Liberation Front. All music and images by them are available for free distribution. — maxrspct ping me 21:29, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
The article on the rave band Messiah ( Messiah (band)) was deleted per CSD A7. I've had a look at the deleted article and don't wish to challenge the deletion. However, I'm not entirely convinced that Messiah are so "non notable" that an acceptable article cannot be written about them and, therefore, I'm wondering if removing the red link from this article (and others) was correct or not. Thoughts? -- kingboyk 21:32, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
I reverted the addition of a Youtube link because Wikipedia is not a directory of Youtube videos. However, the video itself is quite intriguing... seems to be (so far) a behind the scenes/making of from The KLF/Tammy video shoot. Anyone know any more about the video and it's origins? -- kingboyk ( talk) 12:53, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
Thread moved to Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_The_KLF#Images. -- kingboyk ( talk) 10:55, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
I've merged the KLF Communications section into this article (and will copyedit further later on). This is because a combined discography/KLF Communications article didn't go down well at Featured Lists. I think it wouldn't make a great standalone article either. However, if it doesn't fit here or it makes the article too long let's hear about it... -- kingboyk ( talk) 12:18, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
Has anyone thought about mantioning the 2006 KLF/Pete Doherty rumours? There's plenty of sites still active and discussing it. Forgive me if this ideas been brought up and subsequently rubbished already :) Chebbs ( talk) 13:40, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
In their songs, they refer to 'KLF' and not 'The KLF'. So why is this page 'The KLF'? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.214.159.116 ( talk) 13:04, 15 December 2015 (UTC)
What does KLF stand for? :
arny (
talk)
20:46, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
There is no definitive explanation of The KLF's name, nor of the origin of 'K' in the names of the K Foundation and 2K. KLF has been variously reported as being an acronym for "Kopyright Liberation Front", "Kallisti Liberation Front" and "Kings of the Low Frequencies".
Wickethewok ( talk) 20:59, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
I remember it going around when they were on the charts that KLF stood for Kylie Liberation Front in reference to Ms Minogue. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.8.18.55 ( talk) 16:11, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
King Lucifer Forever. Perhaps. According to ' KLF - Chaos Magic Music Money'. Could be a discordian riff though! http://jmrhiggs.blogspot.co.uk/2012/11/klf-chaos-magic-music-money-new-book.html — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.162.232.202 ( talk) 22:55, 15 June 2013 (UTC)
Interestingly, Bill has written about his feelings on this article (which he discovered when it was FA) in his new book 17. I'm just wondering if that's worthy of inclusion... -- Kaini ( talk) 21:48, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
Don't know about Wikipedia classes of articles, but KLF are top class. People forget because the tracks are deleted and thus low key, and so the most important UK band since the Beatles sort of skewed their legacy, but it is well-known KLF were the biggest global singles-selling band in 1991, which led to them machine gunning their BAFTA audience. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.162.232.202 ( talk) 23:02, 15 June 2013 (UTC)
@ Kaini: If you're still around, I think a single sentence (or 2 at most) - with citation(s) - about this article appearing on the Wikipedia front page and Bill reacting to it might be in order. This isn't an FA any more so you don't need to worry about stability, and of course Wikipedia is itself very notable nowadays. The question would be where to put it. In "Career retrospectives" perhaps? (I assume we don't have an article about the book; I don't see it in Category:Books by Bill Drummond). -- kingboyk ( talk) 02:50, 25 February 2020 (UTC)
This article was a Featured Article and it won best in class in Wikimania. Since then standards have tightened a bit, and new edits have not been properly policed. Fair enough that it's not FA any more. But C-Class?! It still remains an authoritative piece on the band even if it doesn't meet all of the Wikipedia rules.
What would a non-expert find wanting? What would an expert on The KLF find wanting?!
There's no better article on The KLF in any encyclopedia. Fact.
The cleanup issues are minor. The article could be rolled back or each individual edit since FA addressed, missing citations added, and images removed or tagged with ALT. This is not major.
As far as I'm concerned this article is A-Class. I will however tag it B since it has not an A-class review. C-class is just ridiculous. -- kingboyk ( talk) 11:49, 7 March 2010 (UTC)
I see the "free content" police have raped this article of pictures and sounds. It looks as dull as dishwasher now. I wonder if it would be worth getting in touch with Bill to see if he'd free up some material? -- kingboyk ( talk) 11:22, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
I listened to a few vidos on YouTube recently of the KLF and really enjoyed them, and the singer Wanda Dee's characteristic vocals. Imagine my surprise when coming to look at the wikipedia article, and she isn't mentioned once - and she was the load vocalist for many of her big hits! And there isn't even a wikipedia page about her, despite her involvement with the KLF, Blueman group and being a singer songwriter in her own right! So I've created a Wanda Dee page with some details, and added some details about her to this article.
Honestly if you see several music videos heavily featuring two performers: A Black female Wanda Dee and a black rapper, and then you google the name of the KLF - the number one hit is this KLF page which very heavily features two white men who initiated the project, but no mention at all of the lead rapper and lead singer it doesn't seem fair or representative, so I've tried to correct this.
Indeed, read this article from ABC a respected news source: "BILL DRUMMOND & JIM CAUTY of The KLF had been around for many years with only moderate underground success, however, their fortunes turned upward when they decided to collaborate with several vocalists (P.P. Arnold, Maxine Harvey, Samantha Brown, etc.), rappers & Wanda as a lead singer, lyricist & sensuous centrepiece of their acclaimed songs & video presentations, throughout the 90's. The result was a multimillion selling album ("The White Room" on Arista/BMG) that scored 6 multi-platinum, international #1 singles" [4]
The vocalists they brought on board thus had a large part to play in the success of the KLF. Certainly the public would have identified much with the black female Wanda Dee as one of the main public faces of the KLF along with several others, and until I altered this article she didn't really have much credit.-- Confusedmiked ( talk) 23:27, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
Why hasn't anyone added anything about the recent illegitimate "undeletions" of KLF work? http://www.tinymixtapes.com/news/klf-record-catalog-undeleted-for-digital-release-in-the-ukthen-re-deleted -- Editor510 drop us a line, mate 18:50, 23 January 2013 (UTC)
Ricardo da Force is not yet mentioned in the article. He is credited as the co-author of 3 a.m. Eternal, Last Train to Trancentral, and Justified & Ancient. He's the African-American rapper who appeared prominently in the music videos. -- 82.136.210.153 ( talk) 14:46, 15 January 2015 (UTC)

According to the article, "A single typeface became characteristic of all KLF Communications' and K Foundation output". Does anyone know what typeface this was? -- 79.123.80.79 ( talk) 10:39, 31 July 2016 (UTC)
My vinyl copy of Shag Times has this quote from the New Musical Express (NME) in the sleeve notes (which mostly consist of about 30 quotes from contemporary music papers):
That's a reference to "The KLF", "KLF" (no "The") and "Kopyright Liberation Front", all in the same article, and quoted by The KLF / The JAMs themselves. I have no idea who "Duane & Co" is referring to. I would add this as a second source to the "Kopyright Liberation Front" explanation of "KLF", but I'm not sure how to add sleeve notes (that in turn quote a music paper) as a source.

Indeed, read this article from ABC a respected news source: "BILL DRUMMOND & JIM CAUTY of The KLF had been around for many years with only moderate underground success, however, their fortunes turned upward when they decided to collaborate with several vocalists (P.P. Arnold, Maxine Harvey, Samantha Brown, etc.), rappers & Wanda as a lead singer, lyricist & sensuous centrepiece of their acclaimed songs & video presentations, throughout the 90's. The result was a multimillion selling album ("The White Room" on Arista/BMG) that scored 6 multi-platinum, international #1 singles" [4]
The vocalists they brought on board thus had a large part to play in the success of the KLF. Certainly the public would have identified much with the black female Wanda Dee as one of the main public faces of the KLF along with several others, and until I altered this article she didn't really have much credit.-- Confusedmiked ( talk) 23:27, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
Why hasn't anyone added anything about the recent illegitimate "undeletions" of KLF work? http://www.tinymixtapes.com/news/klf-record-catalog-undeleted-for-digital-release-in-the-ukthen-re-deleted -- Editor510 drop us a line, mate 18:50, 23 January 2013 (UTC)
Ricardo da Force is not yet mentioned in the article. He is credited as the co-author of 3 a.m. Eternal, Last Train to Trancentral, and Justified & Ancient. He's the African-American rapper who appeared prominently in the music videos. -- 82.136.210.153 ( talk) 14:46, 15 January 2015 (UTC)

According to the article, "A single typeface became characteristic of all KLF Communications' and K Foundation output". Does anyone know what typeface this was? -- 79.123.80.79 ( talk) 10:39, 31 July 2016 (UTC)
My vinyl copy of Shag Times has this quote from the New Musical Express (NME) in the sleeve notes (which mostly consist of about 30 quotes from contemporary music papers):
That's a reference to "The KLF", "KLF" (no "The") and "Kopyright Liberation Front", all in the same article, and quoted by The KLF / The JAMs themselves. I have no idea who "Duane & Co" is referring to. I would add this as a second source to the "Kopyright Liberation Front" explanation of "KLF", but I'm not sure how to add sleeve notes (that in turn quote a music paper) as a source.
