message: It would be nice if the article mentioned whether Will Gregory tours with the live band or not.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.79.95.148 (talk) 19:08, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Does Will tour with the group?

message: Bath, England's singer/composer/keyboardist Allison Goldfrapp began exploring music as a part of her studies as a Fine Art Painting major at Middlesex University, mixing sound, visuals, and performances in her installation pieces. While she was still in college, she appeared on her friend Tricky's 1995 debut Maxinquaye, which led to appearances on albums from other cutting-edge electronic artists, including Orbital's Snivilisation and Add N to X's Avant Hard. By the late '90s, Goldfrapp began honing her own compositions; one of her friends passed some of her demos on to composer Will Gregory. Finding much in common in their musical tastes and approaches, the duo took Allison's surname as the name for their collaboration. After signing to Mute in 1999, Goldfrapp delivered their debut album, Felt Mountain, in fall 2000. Felt Mountain went on to nealry universal acclaim and spawned several singles, including the Utopia Genetically Enriched EP, which arrived in early 2001. After spending most of that year touring, Goldfrapp spent most of 2002 recording and returned with Black Cherry in spring 2003. ~ Heather Phares, All Music Guide 
 
from the VH1 website.... is that admissabke????
I'm not sure but when I added to the page it was from information I have read in Q Magazine. Some of the stuff was there before but I will look over it again and re-write it if it is a problem. I'll check out VH-1's website. Underneath-it-All 23:50, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

message: Does anyone know where I can find screencaps from any of the music videos from Felt Mountain? I would like to add one to the article. Underneath-it-All 19:19, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Do you want me to help you with upgrading this article to a featured article? It has the potential. However, I don't know if merely including images from the group's music videos is going to be enough — are there any of them performing in concert (or on a program such as Top of the Tops) or attending press conferences? I believe that the image of the "Number 1" music video be placed where it is appropriate, that being its article, which I've just tidied. Both articles have potential. —Eternal Equinox | talk 22:03, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Any help would be wonderful! I would really like to see this article reach feature article status. I will continue to look for some high quality pictures of the band performing, most I have seen have been blurry or taken from far away. Thanks so much.

replies: text: I'm going to give the article the treatment of a copy-edit. The detail is good, but the writing could be better. However, it is quite good for someone who was rapidly information, so I give you a shining star for that effort! I will make haste editing the article within a few days. —Eternal Equinox | talk 23:52, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Screencaps from ''Felt Mountain''? 

message: I'm unsure this section is needed.  Or rather, I don't know if it should be formatted the way it is.  As the songs are almost identical to the list of their singles, perhaps these tables can be combined in some way?  The music videos list simply crates a bunch of repeat-wikilinks for each title, which totally is not needed.  I didn't want to just go ahead and revert this as someone obviously spent a bit of time putting it together.  Any thoughts?  -- eo 19:20, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I think that the table should be removed as it does not add to the article in anyway. -- Underneath-it-All 16:44, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Music videos section

message: Are you sure that only Top40-charting singles should be included? I mean this excludes "Utopia" and "Human", one of the major Goldfrapp songs. I'd say that without this information singles discography would be incomplete.
Dick Stevens 13:39, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm thinking that the main Goldfrapp article is to include the most popular singles, with the Goldfrapp discography page having the full list of releases. -- eo 13:47, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: In the UK, the official singles chart is titled the UK Top 75 Singles. —Eternal Equinox | talk 01:21, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Top 40 vs Top 75?

message: Just to be clear, there has been no official announcement of anyone being signed to do the theme to Casino Royale. In fact the closest thing to any official word dates back to 2002 when Kylie Minogue was reported as being offered the job. EON Productions, producers of the film, will make an official announcement once a theme performer has been chosen, and there has been many occasions regarding this film where EON's decision differed from what had been reported as fact (for example, the casting of the Bond girl, and of Bond himself). File under: take with a grain of salt. 23skidoo 19:16, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: As expected, the report has been officially debunked. 23skidoo 16:48, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Casino Royale

message: in the current picture of goldfrapp, it is Alison, and one of the live band players in the background, i think this might confuse people into thinking that it is Will, as the article only mentions that Alison and Will are in the band, i think we should try to have a picture of both alison and will, what about one from the 2003 ema's? (when they won the award for best website)
:What ties our hands with this stuff is that Wikipedia content (images as well as text), needs to be freely-reproducible, even for commercial purposes. This is not the case for most photographs. So if you can find a photograph that represents the band better and is licensed under such terms, then please do replace the current one. Otherwise, we're stuck with this one for now. —Chowbok 15:53, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: For now, do feel free to add a note in the image caption clarifying what you said; it's a good point. —Chowbok 01:47, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

As of Tuesday, June 19, 2007, Goldfrapp meets Wikipedia's Good Article Criteria. The prose is relatively well sourced, with the appropriate and consistent reference layout. However, as a side note, in the Music Style section, if the reference covers more then just the ensuing paragraph, please allocate it to each sentence which it requires, or add more references. The same applies to the Influences section. If reference 37 covers more then just the sentence it is after (and what I assume to be the two beginning sentences in the paragraph), place them after each fact it applies to. Otherwise, I have nothing to add. Good job. NSR77 (Talk) 03:32, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

message: Don't know how many of you guys watched Hard Candy (pretty good show, makes you whimper though) but Goldfrapp had a pretty major mention in it. Think it's worth a mention?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Squiggle (talk • contribs) 05:59, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Major mention in Hard Candy 

message: In general, the text was already in good shape.
A few copyediting concerns:
*There needs to be a consistent style of referring to Alison Goldfrapp throughout the article. I would recommend using "Goldfrapp" where there is no ambiguity about meaning her or the group, and "Alison Goldfrapp" if there is ambiguity.
*In the Supernature section, I have left a  about a sentence which makes no sense - I don't know how to rephrase it because I don't know the original meaning.

message: This is a British band who, on the strength of current information, have never sought to redefine themselves as 'English'. An inoffensive edit to correct the intro has been reversed, supposedly because the update was 'not discussed' - so let's discuss it. English is not a legal nationality or a cultural marker used by many, even in England, so it would only be useful information here if the band or performer in question had overtly stated that they wanted to lay claim to that identity. Has either member of Goldfrapp done so?HuginAndNotMunin (talk) 12:05, 7 December 2021 (UTC)
