Talk:Florence Welch

Too much band-related information?
Much of the information here seems as if it has been copied and pasted from the Florence and The Machine page - is the excessive amount of purely band-related information necessary to form an article on this individual?

Florence Welch is of American descent
I'm new to this site but I have the hyperlinks where Florence says her mother is American as well as live performances on youtube where she constantly mentions her American descent and is even an American passport holder. Thanks to whoever can do this for me and point me in the right direction. Like I said, I'm still kinda of new.

She's not Dutch-English, she's American-English, I don't know why someone put that in. Jmusc85 (talk) 05:57, 4 May 2012 (UTC) You should edit date of birth from 1976 to 1986

Born in two places?
The Family and Childhood segment states Florence was born in "Camberwell, England" while the info box states "Rotterdam, The Netherlands".

I don't have the knowledge to know the correct location, but someone should fix this. SirQuackTheDuck (talk) 17:36, 26 April 2014 (UTC) It looks as if this has been fixed now. Vorbee (talk) 20:52, 18 April 2019 (UTC)

"Artistry" and "Influences"
I just heard and saw Florence Welch for the first time on TV. What struck me, and held my attention, was the tonal quality of her voice, reminiscent of the late Sandy Denny. Curious that Sandy Denny is not mentioned in the "Artistry" section, but that others are with whom I don't hear much commonality. However, in the "Influences" section, it says: "Welch stated that her lyrics related to Renaissance artists". Also, later in the article, she is quoted as expressing an affinity to Stevie Nicks, which also makes sense to me. This may all eventually get sorted out. ---Dagme (talk) 14:53, 5 June 2015 (UTC)

Florence Welch infobox image
I have listed the previous Florence Welch image (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Florence_Welch_performing_in_2013.jpg) under speedy delete after going through reverse image lookups. It was deleted due to copyright violations; it was attributed to a well known photographer, but the uploader assumes "own work". The photo description had contrary informations: "The Sound of Change" was held on June 2013; the photo states that it was created on September 2013. To add icing on the copyright violation reasons, the previous photo was previously published on August 2013 on a different site. For now, I have put a similar image relevant to her recent years, except the image shows her at Austin, Texas instead of Twickenham, London, England. Misterpither (talk) 08:19, 19 August 2017 (UTC)
