 * Please read the article! This is explained there. Notinasnaid 07:56, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
 * The pic in here is not bad. That is the REAL cover and it is supposed to be like that. Also, I don't know why whenever you're talking about the pic you just mention Meg. Jack looks a hell of a lot different then the guy in that pic, I don't know how you can't see that and only mention Meg. But that is the REAL cover, and it is MEANT to be like that with the fake Stripes. --S-man 15:30, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Backwards?
When you go to the White Stripes website, at the beginning some music is playing that sounds like Blue Orchid backwards. It might not be BLue Orchid, but it definately sounds like a song played backwards. 24.93.234.207 21:10, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, it's definitely Blue Orchid backwards, although they removed the song. I think someone just played it backwards and the site adapted it, I also heard 'When I Hear My Name' backwards, I know neither has been released or anything. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.238.255.214 (talk) 09:21, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

The horse
Doesn't anyone else think that the girl in the video was trying to have sex with the horse? >Actually, the horse is trying to have sex with the girl
 * Apparently, some people do place this interpretation on the video (at least, a few have posted it here). However, this sort of controversial information would need a source before it was allowed in an encylopedia article. Not someone's blog either, but something like a review in Rolling Stone or NME, or an interview with the video director. Notinasnaid 08:32, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Anyone who has a problem with this controversial "interpretation" needs only to watch the video. The horse isn't even positioned to stomp on Elson.  The implication is clearly going to sleep with her, something to which Elson does not seem opposed.  How the opinion of a journalist would legitimize anything baffles me.  (P.S.  I don't know how you claim responsibility for your comments on this piece.  Uh, tilda tilda tilda me, Alice.) 69.138.104.214 02:58, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

The opinion of a journalist is pretty much everything under Wikipedia's policies. Wikipedia's rules mean we can't include what we, as editors, think. We can only report what other reliable sources have said. Notinasnaid 07:27, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:BlueOrchid.jpg
Image:BlueOrchid.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Post-punk?
Somebody put post-punk as a genre, but it sounds more like garage rock revival than rather post-punk revival...I is it really post-punk?

"Scary" Music Video
Although I agree the video is sort of scary, I think we need a citation, and perhaps a link to that list. RebDrummer61 (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 17:59, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
