Unfortunately, the cover of "Wannabe" is the United States version, and if I'm going to be putting up all the Spice Girls singles, then we require the British versions. This is because the "Wannabe" U.S. version is the same as the "Say You'll Be There" UK version, but the "Say You'll Be There" American version is the same as the "Who Do You Think You Are" UK version, and since it didn't have an American release, the images will create one big jumble. So I'll be removing the image to replace the British version. I hope you understand the situation. DrippingInk 15:04, July 11, 2005 (UTC)


Could someone disag Kings Cross in the article, as I have never seen the video (Shock! Horror!), or been to the location depicted in it. I only see that it needs to be disagged. Yours with wikileisure, Two Halves


[edit] Unsourced

Editing out the bit about getting it back to number one. Karm Locke 18:27, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Well, I was beaten to the punch, the part now looks a bit more encyclopedic, but should really have a link to a source. Karm Locke 18:30, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] video

Apparently, there were two videos, then one got rejected. Geri Halliwell explains that a little bit in "If Only" if I remember well. The other video can be viewed on youtube I believe - or could at some point anyway. If anyone can find the reference in Geri's book I think that would be good - with the page, etc. Zigzig20s 06:15, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Nice work all round. My one complaint would be that four CD covers in the infobox is too many to constitute fair use. My knowledge of fair use and how it's done on Wikipedia is not the best, but it's not unknown for this to be a sticking point in an article. Might be a good idea deciding on the one or two most important and removing the rest. Well done. Chwech 21:37, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
