message: Where do you guys take that from?
I think Marty Wilde is Marty's real name, so she should be a Wilde too.
pretty confused,
andy
:Yep, it's right. Marty Wilde's real name is Reginald Smith. This info wasn't included on his entry, so i've just updated it. Crisso 17:45, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

message: I don't think so. She might do it in her personal time, but WP is not the place for what she does every single second of her life when she is awake. Iolakana|T 20:01, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I would think making TV shows about it (As this article says she has), and writing about it might make it something slightly more than "personal time". --Kiand 20:08, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

message: I read a 1987 Paris Match magazine article of Kim Wilde and from my memory, it stated her great-granduncle is Oscar Wilde, the famous 19th century Irish poet. Can anyone find the magazine article on the web and confirm it a fact or my misinterpretation of French...my mistake. 207.200.116.10 02:31, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm unable to find the claim on her great-granduncle was Oscar Wilde, one of those fans' speculations that goes nowhere. The article clearly stated her father, Marty Smith took the name "Wilde" for business purposes in his rock band. I don't know Marty Smith is related to Oscar or this is his middle or nickname used in the family. Kim Wilde isn't only a singer, it turns out she's a garden expert (that's cool to have hobbies aside a job), and the hobby is quite popular in England, you'll find some celebrity garden enthuasists, like Prince Charles with his own organic food farm. + 207.200.116.135 13:55, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  I seriously doubt that they'd be related, "Wilde" is supposedly strictly a stage name. As for Kim's gardening career, it's been a just that - a career, not simply a hobby ;)  Calanor 09:56, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

message: I've cleaned up the first part of this article and also the discography tables.  I also removed the decorative copyrighted images per WP:FU.... still a lot needs to be done here.  I second the comment above about removing all of the individual album sections.  This article reeks of POV, informal tone and fangush - it really reads like a Kim Wilde fansite and a lot of formatting errors remain. - eo (talk) 17:56, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

message: I can't bear to see all those budget (and unofficial) compilation albums listed here - they have no real place in the article (and certainly don't deserve a page each). As far as I can work out the only true 'official' compilation is The Singles 1981-1993 and perhaps the 2001 Very Best of (since it was on EMI and included new material). Even the 1985 compilation was released by RAK after Wilde had left the label - therefore not an official release by her. I'm going to clean this up, but if there's anyone who disagrees, you can always revert, but I think it would lead to a better understanding of her output.--Tuzapicabit (talk) 04:02, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Anyway, while I was at it, I added in loads of single covers for the appropriate pages. Phew! For example...--Tuzapicabit (talk) 05:47, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

The debut single from 'Here Come The Aliens' was 'Pop Don't Stop',(https://www.bbc.co.uk/music/tracks/n4q4hx) which was made 'Record Of The Week' on BBC Radio 2. It went on to be playlisted all over Europe and has become a staple of the Kim's live shows in 2018. The second single, 'Kandy Krush'(https://www.bbc.co.uk/music/tracks/n4mfc4) was also made 'Record Of The Week' on BBC Radio 2 and the video has notched up an impressive 450,000 views on YouTube. The 'WideBoys Remix' of 'Kandy Krush'(https://www.discogs.com/Kim-Wilde-Kandy-Krush-Wideboys-Remix/release/12090887) was Wilde's first entry into the Billboard Chart in the United States in over 25 years. (https://www.billboard.com/music/kim-wilde/chart-history/dance-club-play-songs/song/1073238) The third single from the album, entitled 'Birthday' also made the BBC Radio 2 playlist (https://www.bbc.co.uk/music/tracks/n4mhx4) and was well received all over European radio during the summer of 2018, making the run of three singles a high point in the latest stage of Wilde's career.
