No Doubt
She has been a member of No Doubt for over 18 years.... why is the article for her human accessories so big and there is almost nothing about No Doubt? She has openly stated that LAMB is a side project... why is it the primary focus of this article?
Questions
Does the "free the harajuku girls" movement consist of anything more than the one listed blog? Tcassedy 07:40, 30 May 2005 (UTC)
Gwen Stefani also has a fashion line, called L.A.M.B. due to hit stores in September, 2004.
It says that Eric left No Doubt to work in animation, but on the commentary for one of the Simpsons DVDs they say that he left the show to concentrate on No Doubt. Which one is it? --Plattopus 16:03, Jan 9, 2005 (UTC)
how can i add my photos of gwen stefani so i can put them in the boxes?
Information and what-not
Do we really need to discuss her favorite food here? Or her hair color before the 7th grade? This is an encyclopedia, not a fan site. 66.245.219.5 20:43, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Yes, but we already mention her blonde hair a few lines up, and mentioning that it started in the 7th grade is a bit of overkill IMO. But I'm willing to concede that point if necessary. However I do think that discussing her favorite food crosses the line. DaveTheRed 02:46, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)
I deleted the statement about No Doubt winning Grammy awards for Best Rock Act and Best New Artist, because I cannot verify the statement. I checked the Grammy Web site and found listings for No Doubt winning Best Pop Performance by Duo or Group with Vocals, in 2002 and 2003; but not for the categories that were originally listed. sogainesjr 19:07, 10 Jan 2006 (UTC)
Gay Icon Project
In my effort to merge the now-deleted list from the article Gay icon to the Gay icons category, I have added this page to the category. I engaged in this effort as a "human script", adding everyone from the list to the category, bypassing the fact-checking stage. That is what I am relying on you to do. Please check the article Gay icon and make a judgment as to whether this person or group fits the category. By distributing this task from the regular editors of one article to the regular editors of several articles, I believe that the task of fact-checking this information can be expedited. Thank you very much. Philwelch 22:16, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Gwen was named the 33rd greatest gay icon of all-time. I think that should be included.Implants?
So I was listening to Stern this morning and the guys were trying to figure out if G.S. got breast implants. Any truth to this? I haven't heard anything about it other than what I heard on my drive home. Just thought it might be noteworthy if true. Dismas 00:34, 11 May 2005 (UTC)
I did a Google search and I got a hell of a lot of websites for 'gwen stefani breas implants', so it seems revelant. On a website called 'awfulplasticsurgery.com' it says that you can tell where she has hadthe implants because she was flat chested before and you can see the outline of the implant through her skin... hmm... though you can't always trust the Internet- that website had practically every celebrity down for cosmetic alterations, including Paris Hilton for a nose job. What do you think?
Images
Should we add any other images to the section? 64.231.113.36 20:38, 14 May 2005 (UTC)
Uh, Mel? The band name shouldn't be in italics. Everyking 22:35, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
Ahem, the Tragic Kingdom cover is destroying the article. It really needs to be reduced. DrippingInk 20:55, 24 May 2005 (UTC)
Okay, I fixed it. The image isn't taking over the article anymore as it was before, slipping into the "Solo career" part. :) DrippingInk 20:59, 24 May 2005 (UTC)
We should add another image of Stefani. Any ideas? 64.231.112.29 18:55, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
"Bubble Pop Electric" removal
Someone has to delete the "Bubble Pop Electric" article. The song is not going to be Gwen's fourth single. DrippingInk 20:36, 26 May 2005 (UTC)
The info about the unreleased LAMB songs is interesting but it would probably make more sense to move that info to the album article. Everyking 21:25, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
I'm really tired of seeing the next single switch from Cool to Bubble Pop Electric and back again. Is there a good source for either of them, or are we just guessing? Everyking 00:57, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
But, even leaving aside the principle (with which I disagree), it's clear that there isn't an official source, hence the edit war. Mel Etitis ( Μελ Ετητης ) 10:39, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
It's official. "Cool" is going to be the fourth single as it has debuted at number forty-two on American radio. This war is finally over. Thank heavens, and yay! "Cool" is so much better than "Bubble Pop Electric" anyway... oops, I guess that was uncalled for. Sorry. (If you require evidence, a link has been placed next to the single in the "Singles" section of the article. It will take you to Billboard.) DrippingInk 18:59, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Early years
Would it be reasonable to include information from when Stefani was young? Or would that be considered crossing the line? I do know that there is such thing as going a bit too far. DrippingInk 20:46, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
U.S.
Do we really need to include periods between the U and the S in "US"? It grabs the attention of the reader and makes them focus on the dots instead of the actual reading. I request that we remove the periods. DrippingInk July 8, 2005 13:50 (UTC)
I use the full stops (as we call them here) for U.K. too; it's just not required by the MoS. --Mel Etitis ( Μελ Ετητης ) 8 July 2005 21:26 (UTC)
...Whatever you say. 64.231.71.189 14:33, 10 July 2005 (UTC)
info on gwen stefani is true::Fair enough. 64.231.115.123 20:58, 10 July 2005 (UTC)
Comments
I don't want to vandalise the article, but I need to vent frustration at Gwen Stefani's bold racism; therefore, I'm putting this here, not on the entry.
Her fetishisation of and subsequent association with asian popular culture is unbelievably brash and, yes, offensive. As though asian culture hasn't been systematically reduced by hollywood into demure, giggling, sexy girls and jump-kicking, obedient martial artists, here comes a caucasian woman ready to buy japanese girls and display them on stage. It's good to know that the "exotic" looks of the east are so in-vogue with the hip set. It's good to know that the heritage of Christopher Columbus is still alive in America: good to know that people, when confronted with a different culture, are ready to buy it and unabashedly display it for public consumption, for the gawkers to gaze at, stupefied. Yes. Watch them short japs dance. With their little chinky eyes and yellow skin. Meanwhile, Utada Hikaru finds only a niche audience in the States. I guess them asians don't matter when they're actually singing, just so long as they can dance and look submissive and cute behind a white face. jglc | t | c 19:16, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
...Dare I even comment? DrippingInk 15:24, July 26, 2005 (UTC)
I can understand the original commenter's frustration, but I don't think Stefani herself is meaning to objectify the Japanese, even though it appears that way. I think she admires the style, the culture, but the way it comes across could be misconstrued. --Noxalk 10:58, 1 August 2005 (UTC)
What is the original commentor on about? It's obvious that the things people are most interested in with regards to other cultures are the things that are different. Those include martial arts, various arts and crafts, geisha, fashions, seeming objectification of women (geisha), and other strange customs (including out of date ones like foot binding). Why would anyone be interested in mass produced Avax Trax pop music that people in other countries are already inundated with? The evidence suggests they are not. The fact is that people are interested in the cultures -and that's what sells.
Further, when a Japanese person or organisation does something people like that isn't based on the culture, it's treated the same way as when anyone else does something of importance: no one cares where they came from. e.g. barely anyone cares that Takashi Murakami is Japanese. Barely anyone cares that Linus Torvalds is Finnish. Barely anyone cares that Jonathon Ive is English.
It's not like the Harajuku girls HAVE to perform with Gwen. She asked them if they would, and they said yes. They seem pretty happy and I'm sure they get a decent wage. I agree that it sometimes does seem like she's treating the Japanese girls like dolls, but it isn't really racism bad enough to get a whole section devoted to it, and it certainly isn't intentional. You could maybe put that some people thought that she was expoiting Japanese culture, but Gwen has said that she just admires the culture and the fashion. I really think that Gwen doesn't mean to be rascist.
Isn't Tommy February6 always using non-asian girls (black or caucasian) to dance in her videos? How is this different? So being in love with another culture means racism in your book? Quite a crazy world we live in now. --Dez26 15:08, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
