[edit] Wrong label
Lordi is a Hard Rock/Rock band, they have nothing to do with metal. Please fix it.Executex 17:29, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Wrong picture, again
The picture in the infobox is again wrong. It shows former band members and fails to show current band members. JIP | Talk 11:16, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
I think that a still from Eurovision footage would be great, and probably still within fair use Duke toaster 16:35, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wrong name in band members
Kalma is said to be Pekka Tarvanen with reference to BNR Metal. However it's worth to notice that BNR Metal page has been last edited August 04, 2006 whereas Pekka Tarvanen was first added to wikipedia on July 22, 2006. So it's very likely that the BNR Metal simply took the name from wikipedia and this is a cyclic reference with absolutely no credibility.
On Finnish wikipedia all references to Kalma's real name are already changed to Niko Hurme and it has stronger evidence supporting the name (reference to official Lordi book, band together with Kita with whom he's from same city etc.). There's no evidence supporting Pekka Tarvanen whatsoever. Therefore I'm now editing the page to have same information as Finnish wikipedia. Juhovh 09:44, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] G-Stealer
About the above 'Former member' that is continuosly added to this article by anons and hastily reverted back out of it, I think he may really exist. Take a look at This from Lordi's official forum. It's quite revealing, but unfortunatly not acceptable as a reference. Also, Finnish Wikipedia has This, a whole article on G-Stealer, which is convincing but, again, not directly referenceable. I couldn't get a decent translation; we need someone who speaks Finnish. A good summing up (in English!) of him con be found at yet a Third unreliable reference. Various other references availible, but all are meaningless to me as they are in Finnish. Hmmm... this sounds like a good challenge! Can anyone get a good reliable cite for him? Or at least track down a free online Finnish-English translater!? For now, I'm putting him back in the article with a fact tag. Blood red sandman 23:07, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
- Although, that will rewrite Lordi's early history as written here from scratch if it is verified. Even the date of the forming of the band is made incorrect by it. Blood red sandman 23:21, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
see lordi book mie oon lordi also pic of him at the back of get heavy master lordi worlds sourse is also the book
[edit] héy!
héy why dit somebody rewrite the names of lordi?! Please, they asks to DON'T publicate their real names and photo's. Its just don't having respect for their work, they don't use that heavy, very hot costumes because it is fun!!! ...Because this is an encyclopediac article on the Band that should cover all pertinent information - not their website. We know the bands members real names so they should stay in the article. Peripitus (Talk) 23:32, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Lordi single AfDs
All the articles on Lordi's singles/music videos (bar Hard Rock Hallelujah) have been niminated for deletion; please see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Would You Love a Monsterman?, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Devil is a Loser, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Blood Red Sandman and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Who's Your Daddy?

[edit] Formation date
I've changed the band formation date from 1997 to 1992. Not only did 1997 conflict with the information given in the article, it also conflicts with the formation date given in this article: http://www.hs.fi/english/article/Lordi+to+carry+Finnish+Eurovision+greetings+to+Athens+/1135219141003
