Is it necessary the picture of ABBA in here? It's just a copy of ABBA article. fizzerbear 00:37, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

It somewhat bothers me that well over half of the article is in the introduction (before the table of contents). Perhaps I shall put in section headings and the like. -- John Hupp 03:37, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] cleanup tag

This article is kind of a mess, mostly due to formatting/MoS issues, i.e. referring to Fältskog by her first name throughout the entire thing, boldfacing albums and songs when they should be italicized/quoted, etc. The writing is a little awkward as well. Probably doesn't need a complete re-write, but some overall maintenance would be beneficial. -- eo 03:31, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Is it necessary?

Is it necessary to list all those European countries - Finland, Norway and so on - where Agnetha's albums were particularly successful? Shouldn't it just say "in Europe", "in several European countries"? In my opinion, the article should inform about overall success of the artist, specifically naming only the biggest markets like US, UK, Germany, Japan, and the native country of a performer. Those who need very particular details can always visit Agnetha's chartography Websites. Scholar91 08:15, 25 July 2006 (UTC)Scholar91

[edit] How her name is pronounced?

Could someone please attach an audio file? Tnx

It is pronounced an-ye-ta hehe

I'd say ang(ora)-nea(r)-(fan)ta, i.e say "Angora near fanta", while omitting ora, r and fan - and you'll be near perfect. Found a name pronounciation clip on a site dedicated to her: http://agnetha.net/agnetha.wav Metallion (talk) 22:09, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] I really want to remove all this redundant European (and Chilean) chart information

I really want to do it. It'll make the entire article much more cohesive and digestible. I'll wait for a week and if noone objects to it, I'll proceed.

[edit] I think the cleanup tag should be removed.

I think the article now is much more cohesive and digestible. I think the cleanup tag should be removed.

[edit] Additional picture

The article contains a single picture of Agnetha 'today', but none from during the Abba era when she was at her most famous. The article on Anni-frid Lyngstad, by contrast, features a picture of her taken in 1977. I would suggest that a picture, such as that on the following link, from 1977, be included in the Agnetha Fältskog article:

[edit] Regarding One Way Love

Please have a look at the article concerning that particular release, the chart position is disputed. -- Chsf 13:02, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 2007 Album

The rumored 2007 solo album has no place in the discography here. It is mentioned in the body of the entry as rumor, and that is sufficient mention. I have twice removed this entry from the discography, and I hope that this time it will stay removed.

[edit] After Abba - Faltskog did not invest in the musical Mamma Mia

I do not understand why the few sentences regarding Faltskog not investing in the musical Mamma Mia, should be deleted. It is correct information and neutrally written. Please could it be left there and if someone disagrees with me, please contact me, (Sally1309) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sally1309 (talk • contribs) 04:02, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
