message: loveparade.net says 1.200.000 people were there this year. So what source says 1.000.000?
:There are several sources in german newspaper that the counting for love parade 2007 and 2008 are faked. We need a note that the counting are possibly faked.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.53.80.9 (talk) 15:38, 31 July 2010 (UTC)

message: The intro paragraph says "Only the Acapulco, Tel Aviv, Santiago, and Berlin Love Parades continue to operate." Does this mean specifically "...continue to operate with the official license of the Berlin Love Parade organization"? Because San Francisco still has its Love Fest, which is simply called by a different name and not licensed (according to a later section of the article). I think the sentence is misleading as it currently stands, so I am going to delete it soon unless someone can explain sentence more clearly and provide a good source.

replies: text: I have deleted the sentence since it is at best misleading and unsourced, and at worst false. Dave Runger 17:19, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  It is stated that Zurich has a Love Parade. I certainly doubt it because they have the Street_Parade. Saemikneu (talk) 23:20, 10 April 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Which cities still have Love Parade? 

message: The English in this article is pretty poor, as a native English and German speaker I can see that large parts have been translated directly from the german, for example:
:The Love Parade may be a dinosaur
:the parade produces a sound floor of many megawatts. The parade basically lives through those trucks.
This needs to be worked on. John Hayes - On Vacationtalk 10:57, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Quality of English 

message: "Loveparade" is and has always been spelled as one word (as opposed to "Love Parade"). This article should be amended accordingly.
: Maybe in German, but in English "Love Parade" is overwhelmingly more common: Google finds 1,140,000 vs   334,000 for English-language pages. Jpatokal (talk) 14:55, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: No. Wikipedia naming conventions suggest that the most common name should be used for an article. The current spelling is clearly more common in the English-Speaking world. Averell (talk) 09:55, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Spelling 

message: This statement cannot be accurate:
"With its water-cooled sound systems on every truck, the parade produces an extremely loud sound floor of many megawatts"
The largest subwoofer in the world can only consume 1kW of power*. I don't believe it can be accurate to say that the Loveparade is composed of speaker systems (or a "sound floor") of many megawatts. Thus, I changed the page, and I'm explaining the change here (is that the wrong way to go about using the Talk page? If so, my bad).  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.74.102.163 (talk) 23:37, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Megawatts 

message: How can the Love Parade be the subject of Madonna's song Dear Jessie? Dear Jessie is on the Album Like a Prayer which was recorded back in 1988 and released spring 1989. The Love Parade didn't even exist then!
Anyone knows which kind of "love parade" the song is about?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.65.1.9 (talk) 08:52, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Madonna 

message: I just can't understand. 1-st love parade was in 1989, so what this string means "1997 Dr. Motte and Westbam Sunshine"? is this a year, then single was released, or this means date of love parade?--80.246.245.150 (talk) 10:57, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, 1989.  The anthem is for 1997. Jpatokal (talk) 05:36, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Anthem 

message: I copyedited a part of the article, as large parts sounded like they had been written by a raver as an instruction to go there. I also added some addition info from the German page. I didn't do any additional fact-checking, but the page is dearly missing citations. This shouldn't be so hard as this is a well-publicized event. But facts like "it's louder" or "it's one of the main/first/whatever festivals" need sources, or need to be removed. Averell (talk) 09:19, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Copyedit/Rewrite 

message: I removed "Many critics have suggested that if the Parade had not been forced to relocate from the wide avenues of Berlin this tragedy would not have happened." because of weazel words.
The current consensus in the media is that organizers and authorities have made severe planning mistakes (reference: Just about any German language newspaper).

message: The entire section is written in such bad English, it's pretty difficult to figure out what's going on.
The only thing that is perhaps worth of note is the bicycle lock affixed to a tree. Everything else seems to be just hearsay.
I suggest removing the entire "Trivia" section and simply leaving the picture with the bicycle lock in the main section. Perhaps with an "allegedly" added to it. 2A02:8108:1400:5D6F:428D:D099:8878:583D (talk) 17:17, 19 August 2023 (UTC)
