More coverage of special edition albums and bootlegs? Zephyrprince 22:32, 11 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

We need definitive information on the Live At The Wireless album from 2004 Zephyrprince 20:04, 27 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Irreverence

Release date for Irreverence is incorrect - it was first released in 1996 on Cheeky Records in the UK as a bonus disc with Reverence (http://www.discogs.com/release/8033), I will update when I have the time :)

Therefore,'Sunday 3AM' can't have inspired Faithless into remixing their debut album (as is currently stated on the page). This needs to be modified. (I certainly remember having the Reverence remix cd before their 2nd album came out).

Remix, Instrumental Albums

All these remix or instrumental albums should be merged with their parent album articles. they are the equivalent of a tour edition release, or limited bonus disc edition. People shouldn't be fooled into thinking that these are albums in their own right when they clearly aren't. Also i've separated them in the discog section for the above reasons. Please don't revert without adding to the discussion first. 165.228.105.74 20:53, 4 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

These albums are albums in their own right, hence why faithless gave them their own name, especially Everything Will Be Alright Tomorrow which was released as a single cd release. The albums are still widely available hence are not the same as tour editions or limited edition releases. All also have original material present on them Irreverence has "Soundcheck Jam", Saturday 3AM has "Thank You", Reperspective has "Lotus", "Daimoku", and "God Is a Beckham" (which has nothing remotely similar in it to God Is a DJ) and Everything Will Be Alright Tomorrow has "Blissy's Groove". The article has had these in the studio albums section for a long time with many editors agreeing that these should stay as they are. The anonymous user is simply trying to have the page as he sees fit and not incorporate the views of the large extent of editors to this page. Please refrain from reverting again, the three revert rule will come into effect. Chappy84 22:51, 4 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Did they produce singles? No. did the band tour these albums? No. do they have damn near the same artwork? Yes. Soundcheck Jam is a demo of the title track Reverence. As for those other tracks, they are probably b-sides or aborted tracks from the same album sessions. That blissy track alone doesn't justify the album receiving 'album' status. you know i'm right about this. 211.31.169.191 10:41, 5 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

whatever, you win. are you just bitter coz the english cricket team got slammed by the aussies again today? and after the poms got off to such a great start, they had to screw it up gloriously! 211.31.169.191 12:44, 5 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If you think that then that's your choice. Firstly I freely admit the England team are without a doubt 2nd best in the winter 2006/7 ashes series on current performances and the Australian team deserve to regain the trophy. On the subject Albums don't have to produce singles just to be given album status, check the definition of album on Wikipedia. Bands never play all songs from an new album on tour, they never have enough allotted time to fit them in, plus how are you to know that they haven't played these songs on tour?

rewording

the history section reads like a review in a highschool paper's AV section —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Dummies102 (talk • contribs) 06:38, 15 March 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Agreed. Rewrote the first paragraph. Mhoskins 19:25, 28 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:ForeverFaithless.jpg

Image:ForeverFaithless.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Hip Hop/Trip Hop

Are they really anything to do with the Hip Hop genre? They have none of this "gangsta" shit they're purely dance/rave that sorta genre.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.135.45.14 (talk • contribs) 12:35, 11 August 2007

I think you've mis-understood the trip-hop genre. I wouldn't say Teardrop by Massive Attack it anywhere near Hip-Hop but it is Trip-Hop. Chappy ^T_C 16:31, 11 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Scoring points

The purpose of this article is to inform readers about a British band, not to score points on the Israeli–Palestinian conflict. Please stop inserting point-scoring "background" or "context" material that has nothing to do with the band. —Anomalocaris (talk) 22:37, 15 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

They themselves are scoring points by joining the racist BDS campaign. So just do one.

Media that Faithless Songs Appeared In

Can we add movies, television shows, and possibly games that Faithless' songs appeared in, in its own category on their discography? Lacon432 (talk) 19:01, 18 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Source on lyrics being quoted in US Senate/Parliament?

I note that this line is unsourced and I find it very dubious at best. Trying to find any reference to it with a quick search just digs up thousands of sites that have merely quoted Wikipedia verbatim without any extra checking. Coryoon (talk) 02:37, 9 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
