Are we sure International Dateline was released in 2005? I'm a pretty devoted fan and I certainly didn't notice. At present, it's being advertised as a forthcoming, strictly limited edition single, which will be available by pre-order only (and the pre-orders are not yet being accepted). Thus, the 2005 date seems rather premature - do we have a source? Magicalsushi 12:45, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

Also, I just noticed this on eBay (the link will expire at some point). Cracked LCD Live 7" single, b/w USA vs White Noise Live, catalogue number EMN39-7, 1000 copies worldwide. I don't know where that fits in chronologically, or in which territories it was released, but there's a photo of the picture sleeve so clearly it does exist.  It ought to be in the list of singles, but I don't know where it should be inserted. Magicalsushi 13:41, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

I can't find the International Dateline or Weekend singles on the official site news or discography pages. Extended Play is a 2 disc EP - North America only. We need to identify "proper" releases from unofficial releases, promos, Japan only etc. Ebay is a particularly unreliable source of information - I think we should take the official site as authoritive to be honest.

Anyone else think it'd be a good idea (in general, not just for Ladytron) to differentiate between the different formats of albums/eps/singles, as they often contain different tracklistings and sometimes completely different versions of songs? Not to mention remixes etc.


 * Also, Helen Marnie redirecting to Ladytron seems rather pointless, unless it's done for Daniel and Reuben too.


 * Sorted his out, but I do not have any source information.--Bulleid Pacific 20:25, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

Background Information, genre
Is it really a good idea to make it say Rock as one of the genres for Ladytron? I don't think Ladytron is rock at all. Electropop is good, if you need to fill it up, perhaps other genres like electronic, electronica, electroclash (subjective), electro, etc. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by M1xmast3r (talk • contribs) 23:54, 16 January 2007 (UTC).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Ladytron2009.jpg IMO, this picture is too dark to show anything.. might as well just remove it —Preceding unsigned comment added by 218.186.9.228 (talk) 00:44, 15 October 2010 (UTC)

Ladytron and Korg
I changed the part about the synthesizer names. I think it's easier to understand why they name them. My source was this article. Perhaps a more skilled user would add it to the main article's external links? It's fairly interesting stuff about their choice of equipment. Reslo79 05:37, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Members of band?
Who are the members of the band and how come NONE of them are mentioned on the main page of the article? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.68.216.199 (talk) 20:05, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

Removed Pop Levi from "previous members", as this isn't true; he was never a member of the band, only a session musician in 2003, and there have been many others. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.41.36.90 (talk) 08:01, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

official external links
Someone is repeatedly posting a link to an unofficial site which has a related messageboard. It shouldn't be in there and should be considered vandalism if it continues. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Goblin12 (talk • contribs) 12:36, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

How about adding a section for Unofficial External Links? The Ladytron Unofficial forum is a great place for fans to discuss the band and the only message forum for them on the net I know of. Or are only officially sanctioned sites allowed on Wikipedia? --Zoltar42 (talk) 16:13, 23 April 2009 (UTC)


 * External links explains why sections like this do not exist in Wikipedia articles. More specifically, fan forums are excluded on the reasons 10. & 11. given in WP:ELNO and in this case possibly also 4., because of the possible conflict of interests. Quibik (talk) 17:53, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

accuracy
please do not undo factual edits. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.192.227.171 (talk) 00:06, 22 July 2011 (UTC)

Music genre
What do you think are the most accurate tags to describe the Ladytron's music style? I suggest these genres: Electronic, Electropop, New Wave. Anyway they are not electroclash (read more here). Deepblue1 (talk) 19:02, 23 October 2011 (UTC)

Similiarity
I think they sounds similiar to Dubstar, also english band which is well known worldwide. Its worth mentioning. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.205.132.228 (talk) 12:46, 26 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Not quite similar. Anyway Sarah Blackwood (the Dubstar vocalist) was also the vocalist of the electropop band Client. This band is more similar to Ladytron than Dubstar. Deepblue1 (talk) 13:20, 26 March 2012 (UTC)
