I changed the bit about "Bruise Violet" being a "wholesale character assassination" of Courtney Love, for reasons of NPOV. The song certainly doesn't contain any direct references to specific flaws. Tuf-Kat

There's no page for Katastrophy Wife, and there probably shouldn't be--it seems very much a Bjelland project and should be discussed on her page.
I'm going to change the B'jellands to Bjellands--if someone has evidence that B'jelland really is the more official spelling, please cite it. Nareek 16:08, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
I think the characterization in the opening paragraph of Babes in Toyland as a "riot grrrl" band is inaccurate. While they were definitely an inspiration for bands in the Riot Grrrl movement, they existed before and during the movement, but never played any part in it.
Can anyone find solid references that Maggie Dunn of We've Got a Fuzzbox and We're Gonna Use It ever played with Babes in Toyland? There are some non-encylopedic sites that claim she was in the band in late 2001. Another person added to the ex-member list who seems to have no support for being there is Jose Camarillo, so I'm removing him.-- Larrybob ( talk) 20:28, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
Just to let everyone know that this page is showing up with the title "House" on the facebook version of the Wikipedia page (see at http://www.facebook.com/pages/House/103092843063891). This seems to be due to the redirecting of the page at House_(Babes_in_Toyland_song). Am not sure how to fix this. Vibracobra23 ( talk) 20:38, 27 May 2012 (UTC)
i'm adding grunge to the info box since this band's mentioned as a prominent non seattle grunge group in the grunge article — Preceding unsigned comment added by I call the big one bitey ( talk • contribs) 09:00, 2 July 2012 (UTC)
I edited down the section on Courtney Love's involvement. Parts of it appeared non-encyclopedic and relying on rumour. The accusation by the band that stole money is unsubstantiated and can be presented as a quote as this is the band's opinion. Karst ( talk) 13:47, 18 April 2016 (UTC)
Maintainers? This sentence:
is unfortunate. It accurately reflects the source, but Unterberger doesn't provide any support for that statement, and he appears to take great offense at the band. It would be great if that statement could be balanced with an opposing viewpoint. The Kathleen Hanna quote that follows kind of does that, but it would fit better in the preceding paragraph, referring as it does to the riot grrl movement. Dementia13 ( talk)
I know there are fans of the band here (myself included) but you just cannot slag Unterberger. 82.132.228.138 ( talk) 10:47, 6 July 2017 (UTC)
Things like this do NOT belong in the introduction. DCEvoCE ( talk) 14:02, 11 February 2018 (UTC)
I agree. Unfortunately I do not have Michele Leon's book, I think she talks about the sexism surrounding their appearance on the scene and Unterberger clearly just talked to one of those sexist critics and very sloppily summed up the band with that one source. It does need to be moved out of the intro and discussed in context. Dubyavee ( talk) 20:45, 11 February 2018 (UTC)
