Talk:What You Waiting For?

message: Fresh from the featured advert for "Cool" we now have yet another free advert masquerading as a legitimate Wiki article. Please explain to me why you feel that in 100 years time someone will type the words "What you waiting for?" into our search engine expecting to see this article? Yes she should have a bio, but a track by track uncritical puff piece for each song? No. --HasBeen 14:13, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Yet another Gwen Stefani Commercial Advertisement? 

message: OmegaWikipedia keeps reversing me on this, so a longer explanation is needed.  First, the account of the video was overlong, and fan-gushy in its exhaustive detail and wording.  Secondly, it was full of poor style and outright grammatical errors.  I've pruned and tidied it in an attempt to make it look like something that's not too out of place in an encyclopedia. To be honest, it still needs more work, so call this an interim compromise. --Mel Etitis  (Μελ Ετητης) 08:32, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: How about a compromise in length; one version has 1 paragraph and the other has 6, so how about 3 or 4 paragraphs? This seems like a relatively easy thing to compromise on. Personally I'd tend to favor more detail rather than less but I think 3 or 4 paragraphs could certainly cover the video adequately. Everyking 14:01, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

message: This paragraph makes little sense. If someone can make sense of it, then fix it and put it back in.
There are also some parts of the song spoken in Japanese. During the 'Tick-Tocks' Music (Rino Nakasone) in the video says 'Gwen ha, suru no?' 'Ha' which is pronouced 'Wa' and at the end of the song after Gwen says 'Take a chance you stupid ho' "Hey, so she is saying, 'komatterunjyane' which means, instead of thinking worry, just go for it but very forced way." Music And after Music says, "Go back, Do Japan!"

thread_title: Confusing paragraph.

message: Looks good to me -
*Critical reception - has two critics name (like PopMatters' Jason Damas) while the others refer just to the website, might want to add the critics name
* highlight of Love. Angel. Music. Baby. This is the first mention of it in the body - so i think a wikilink would be appropriate.
* to initially strong airplay. I don't like how this is worded
* The song performed moderately on other Billboard formats, what formats? How does a song perform "moderately", comma missing in that sentence also
Good work. M3tal H3ad 06:38, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Writing and lyrics

message: Just because you are angry at me for my edits at the 7 Things article does NOT give you the right to edit my TRUTHFUL adittions to this page.
The video DOES depict scenes from the book (and if you want "proof", watch the damn video yourself) and indeed the "fantasy land" is supposed to be Wonderland.
And Gwen is clearly performing the song in that show as Alice since:
1- The dress she wears matches the one in the music video.
2- It also matches the way Alice is usually dressed, specially the original Tenniel illustrations and the Disney film.
You lashing out because of edits in an entire different article is WRONG, and I WILL report you for that.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Agustinaldo (talk • contribs) 08:41, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
