[edit] makes no sense

i removed the sentence "Billie Joe Armstrong said about the song "One of My Lies" that it was of a record no one has at Woodstock '94." from the album notes section as, aside from being worded very poorly it makes very little sense. especially when you consider the fact that the album was redorded in '91 so it would be kind of hard for a song off of it to be about an event that wouldn't take place for 3 years.69.211.149.52 18:45, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

I think what it meant was that the song was on an album which nobody owned, which was said at Woodstock 94. It's not notable enough for the article anyway. -Joltman 10:54, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merge

Discuss the merge of Dominated Love Slave and 2000 Light Years Away into Kerplunk here. --JoeBlowfromKokomo 21:14, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 680,000 = Platinum?

"As of June 2005, Kerplunk! has sold 680,000 units in the US, and is certified platinum."

I thought one million are required for platinum. -newkai | talk | contribs 11:06, July 24, 2005 (UTC)

680,000 units have been sold in the US.
worldwide sales have made it platinum. --JoeBlowfromKokomo 02:03, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

Isn't Platinum status an RIAA certification though, representing only sales in America? Or is this "Platinum" status awarded from some separate international entity?Ringer7 04:36, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Exclamation Point in Title

I'm not sure that the exclamation point in the title is necessary, especially seeing as it is not included on Green Day's own website and they do include the exclamation point in the title of International Superhits!. The album cover itself doesn't even feature the exclamation point, only the back cover and a few other areas. I feel that, especially because the typeset of Nimrod and Warning have recently been changed, this must be fixed.Ringer7 04:38, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

That would be acceptable, only because the front and back cover are inconsistent. --PEJL 09:08, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

import the cd to itunes and come back--Greenday21 (talk) 23:22, 2 June 2008 (UTC)Greenday21
