Talk:PJ Harvey

message: That Polly was quitting appears to be an exaggeration made by NME.  They were the only magazine to report this.  Polly scheduled shows almost immediately afterward and has made no comment on the incident.  And given that the touring retirement of a major artist received no other media coverage, I think it might be wise to exclude the statement from PJ's entry on Wikipedia.
Further evidence that the NME sucks. I know this isn't really the right place for this but seriously they're not a genuine music magazine they're just like heat magazine or some other crap.   —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.42.168.4 (talk) 23:42, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

message: If the touching collaboration on Uh Huh Her refers to "The End", then this is mistaken.  Harvey has said that she put it on the album at his request, but they did not collaborate on the song.--Weebot 21:41, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

message: No referance to Harvey's membership in the Bristol-based band 'Automatic Dlamini'.
Someone with more information and better skills in written english please help and add the missing info.
All I know though, is that she was invited and joined the band in 1988 as a guitarist/saxophone player/backup singer. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 213.216.199.10 (talk) 09:51, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

message: I call bs on the following:
She drew fire in April 1992 when she appeared topless on the cover of the British magazine New Musical Express; until then she had been assumed to be unambiguously feminist.
This statement doesn't seem to have anything to do with any real feminism. Ok, some feminists believe pornography is evil in some strange reactionary way, but real feminists believe women should be free to do what they want with their bodies. Don't let fringe groups hijack good causes. Not even in Wikipedia articles.

message: Does anybody happen to know what PJ Harvey plans to do with the song "Bitter Little Bird?" For example, if she plans to release it as a B side? I was under the impression, after having seen a clip of her performing it live, that it was meant to be on the tracklist for "White Chalk." It's an incredible song, just absolutely gorgeous, hopefully she isn't scrapping it.

message: I'm a little dismayed to see that there is not much information on PJ's personal life in this article.  Nothing too personal of course.  But is she single?  Has she been known to date men/women?  Is she married to her music?  Is PJ an extremely private person, hence why we know next to nothing about her private matters? -Laikalynx (talk) 03:52, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: It's now 2010, still no mention of her personal life, single, rel's, children, quotes?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.246.58.37 (talk) 12:10, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

message: I've removed the 'Replay of the Disco Dancing' as a title for this, because it's unsourced, and I noticed people around the web are starting to use wikipedia as a source for this; that shouldn't really happen. Until we find a name from a reliable source, I've taken it down.

message: What's the deal with this producer, "Head", who's worked on a lot of her stuff? Does anyone know enough to add a small blurb in this article, so that Head (producer) can redirect here, or enough to create a separate page for itself? -M.Nelson (talk) 21:47, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

message: Someone (an IP) added hard rock as a genre, but it got reverted as undiscussed. I think this additional genre makes sense: most songs on Dry and Rid of me sound like hard rock to me, and she has worked with hard rock and heavy metal musicians. --Thüringer ☼ (talk) 22:09, 11 March 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Hard rock isn't really a great classification for her. Her hard moments are alternative rock or punk blues for the most part. Mrmoustache14 (talk) 01:01, 21 August 2013 (UTC)

message: Blastmaster11 can you please stop removing the information about the reissue campaign and unreleased demos info? You cannot compare it to the artists of the past, who constantly re-issue their albums all the time. This was a single event for the first time, and the uniqueness of it: each album was accompanied with separate demo albums. In this way, your argumentation is groundless. 92.195.79.71 (talk) 12:46, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Record labels often times reissue music (yes, sometimes with extras), and in this case they reissued hers. I fail to see how that is noteworthy for her bio. Also, the source in the article for these reissues just takes you to her online store. One could argue that there's a failure to adhere to WP:PROMOTION, and in general, to WP:WPMAG. Mentioning these reissues on the album pages themselves makes sense (here), but in the context of her actual bio, it seems trivial. Overall, it isn't valuable information for the average reader, nor does it enhance this article. --Blastmaster11 (talk) 02:55, 3 October 2022 (UTC)
replies: text:  Also worth noting; this article states that the reissue campaign was by her labels (not Harvey herself). I don't see that as the "significant milestone in her career" that you proclaimed in one of your edit summaries.  --Blastmaster11 (talk) 02:08, 4 October 2022 (UTC)

text: This kind of information would be cemented in place if independent media sources were talking about it. See WP:SECONDARY. Without attention from uninvolved sources, it seems promotional, and the arguments for removing it will win, according to WP:ONUS. Binksternet (talk) 03:23, 4 October 2022 (UTC)
