[edit] Discussion

I thought the Q magazine article had her as saying "...I don't NOT want to." I can't believe there's no comments here. Judging by download activity, this is one of the year's best albums, and definitely one for the history books!--Tednor 11:51, 7 August 2005 (UTC)

You're right, it was "...don't not want to." I've corrected the article. --Gypsum Fantastic 15:14, 5 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Moloko's future

I guess the info about Moloko's future should be placed in the article about the band.

I don't think so. Since it's a colaborative effort between her and Brydon, it depends both on the band's page and in her biography - after all, she spent something like 10 years with that band and it's an integral part of her life. Unless you ment that theinfo should be placed in *both* places. --Kkania 18:40, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

Isn't Murphy signed under EMI now instead of under Echo? Nannick 23:18, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

That won't count until she actually releases something on the label, I should think (and hello my darling Nannick!)--Tednor 20:18, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Whoever keeps changing the the wording of the "announced informally to her fan base" part, please tell me why you are changing this (seems bloody stupid to me) and please STOP. As someone who knows about the subject at hand I assure you the distinction is important (and since when did Wiki strive to be NON specific anyway?). Roisin did NOT announce it on the intro pages to her website, nor did she hold a press conference. Not everyone knows she posts in own forums, and we should respect the "off the cuff" nature of the statement by specifically noting its context. Also, the "redundant" statement about 'Sequins' being issued in series was added only becuase somebody needed a citation to see that the two words are puns (never ceases to amaze me the things people need citations for, like for instance we have NO source for her birthdate and could easily be libellous for misreporting her AGE....).--4.158.198.164 01:25, 10 January 2007 (UTC) :That was me, forgot to sign in. --Tednor 01:28, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

I've reworded it to say "announced on her forum". "Announced informally to her fan base" sounds awkward and forced. ShadowHalo 10:55, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Correct pronunciation

What is the correct pronunciation of her first name? Is it more like Roe-sheen or more like Roy-sheen? Thanks in advance. --Amir E. Aharoni 13:10, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

Roe-sheen (see here). ShadowHalo 00:15, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Shouldn't it use the IPA pronunciation guide? I'd do it, but I'm not really proficient with it: something like ɹoʊˈʃiːn? LaFoiblesse 2007-06-01 10:02 (GMT)

That looks about right. I was going to add it in, but I couldn't figure out how to do the oʊ dipthong. ShadowHalo 06:03, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Awards
