message: The third album listed under this heading gives the UK as both ranks, rather than one UK and one US.  I'm not going to guess the listing convention didn't change, so I'll leave it to someone familiar with the group to change it.  Ryan 1 July 2005 20:07 (UTC)
Her singing could be described as keening.
Several edits have expanded or revised the sentence about Britpop bands in this article, but what's the point?  If you feel the need to classify, the Cranberries would be pre-Britpop. Those bands don't have much to do with the Cranberries. I've deleted that sentence.
Added to the fact they are not British. Snowbound 00:11, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

message: The chart section of this article is good, but I think it should include the lists from the UK. I dunno if I can get them, I think so, but I don't know how to create tables in here. If someone wants to do it, please do so. I'll post the lists once I find them.
I made the charts and I'll be happy to edit the UK data in if you find it. Allmusic.com only provided me with the US Billboard info.

thread_title:  Wow 

message: I was shocked at the amount of POV included in this article, for an internationally-renowned band like the cranberries this the article was very poor. It was obviously written/eddited by a Cranberries fans who was reluctant to include the criticism, especially with the bit where she described the third album as being released to rave reviews, as far as I remember it wasnt very well received and I saw it was included in Q magazines 50 worst albums ever. I've eddited it as much as I can but I would hope someone could scan over the article and see if anymore POV can be found. I'm a big Cranberries fan, but I dislike it when people show biased views especialy on encyclopedic sites like Wikipedia.
I still dont think the article is great and for a band like cranberries who have sold around 40 million records it should be a lot better.81.153.14.1 01:09, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  serious amount of NPOV 

message: http://www.cranberries.com/read/bio_monoband.html contains the exact phrasing of the last paragraph of the article on the break-up. Is the rest of the article original? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 196.207.40.213 (talk) 
:Good point. The third paragraph of the origins section (beginning "The demo tape earned the attention of both the U.K. press and...") appears to come from here. And that's the first test I've done! I'll have a look later (when I have more time) and try to cut out what seems to have been lifted from elsewhere.--A bit iffy 10:29, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Ethereal 

message: It looks like WesleyDodds and I disagree about whether references are needed for genres, so I'll paste our edit comments here so we can discuss it with longer comments, without starting an edit war:
WesleyDodds: You don't need to cite the genres, because they aren't widely disputed
Angelastic: Added back refs for genres... they may not be widely disputed by experts, but people sometimes change them in this article, and without refs it is difficult to tell whether an edit is vandalism.
WesleyDodds: Simply restore the genres if they are changed. The references are unnecessary, and certainly don't belong in the infbox.
My response to 'simply restore the genres...': I did that once, and I checked the reference first to make sure that I was doing the right thing. Music genres don't seem to be very well-defined, and I don't know what most of them mean, so even though I'm a fan of The Cranberries it would have been difficult for me to know whether to revert that edit if I hadn't had the references. I'm sure WesleyDodds, and many other editors, would have known immediately that The Cranberries weren't Post-Punk, but although I suspected as much, I couldn't immediately be sure (they did, after all, come after punk) and it was easier and more accurate to check a source than to read the Post-Punk article and make a judgment. Surely the more people are able to confidently revert vandalism or POV-pushing (and there are a lot of different points of view out there when it comes to music genres, if not in the music press then amongst the general public who edit wikipedia, which is why it helps to use the former as a source), the sooner such things will be corrected. I've seen similar edits on other articles where there haven't been any references to check, and it's very frustrating. Furthermore, I don't see how having references for things causes any harm. Although, perhaps it would be better to check other sources for the genres, or change the genre list, since the Allmusic article actually gives 'rock' for the genre and 'Alternative rock' and 'Celtic rock' as two of many 'styles'.  What do people think? --Angelastic (talk) 12:02, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  References for Genres 

message: I don't know anything about the music business, so I'm reluctant to change the use of this phrase in the article, but it sounds odd.  If this is a phrase used in the music business, then perhaps it's appropriate.  I would think that "highly successful commercially" or something would be better.

message: Rather than changing it back and forth anymore, can we get some consensus about the main article image?  I've reverted it back to the image its been since (at least) the beginning of the year.  Any editors have thoughts on the image that should be used here?Caidh (talk) 23:01, 5 October 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi Caidh, this has nothing to do with choosing a picture. The pics that keep being inclued cross wiki and then removed since not OK are always done by consecutive socks of this long time structural cross wiki vandal. Please read the description there. This vandal costs many vandal fighters including me as global sysop much work alas. Kind regards, MoiraMoira (talk) 10:38, 7 October 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: This long-term abuser has been uploading low quality images for quite some time now and replacing the good ones with the bad quality equivalents he uploaded. This is vandalism as he does not reach consensus and keeps on reverting, that's why we are still reverting him. Further accounts will be locked as this is clearly sockpuppet abuse. TBloemink talk 10:42, 7 October 2012 (UTC)

text:  Thanks MoiraMoira & TBloemink for clearing that up.  Since the image had been here since the end of last year (or longer) I hadn't realized there was an issue with it (I didn't look back at the original uploader of the image, and didn't see the username you referenced as being the one changing it recently).  I understand now.Caidh (talk) 14:59, 7 October 2012 (UTC)

message: Did TTFD really attract "favorable reviews"? I just remember the album getting a thorough kicking, chiefly because of the clumsiness and banality of the lyrics. "He had perceptively known that it wouldn't be nice / Because in 1980, he paid the price", that was a cracker. Oh yeah, and "Sarajevo erects an undertune" as well.

thread_title:  Protection 

message: The section about the band's musical style quotes O'Riordan as saying, in an interview with Paste magazine, that Peter Harvey's yodelling was an influence for her own vocal style. I'd never heard of Harvey prior to reading this, but I've removed the wikilink to the page for Peter Harvey (baritone), as I find it fairly implausible that a baritone would yodel (I'm going to take a guess that she was mis-heard and she actually said "PJ Harvey"). I've added a comment on Peter Harvey's talk page inviting editors familiar with his style to respond. ~dom Kaos~ (talk) 13:55, 16 January 2018 (UTC)

thread_title:  DOLORES listed as PAST MEMBER 

message: Why is this article written in Irish English (like it says in the source at the start)? I understand that the Cranberries was an Irish band, but when would that ever mean switching dialects just talk about them? Should all articles on people who were from the Appalachians be written in that accent, or every article on someone that spoke or speaks Scots be written in Scots? I'm not 100% sure what the reasoning for this decisio isn, because I'm sure for most people outside of Ireland reading the first line of the article it just reads as incongruent with the style of much of the rest of the site. I'm not necessarily saying there is no reason for it to be written this way, but I'm just saying there's no reason given.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mustard, huh?
