A fact from Laundry Service appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know? column on 18 March 2014 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows: 'Did you know
  • ... that the international success of Colombian singer songwriter Shakira's English-language debut album Laundry Service led to a critic deeming her the 'biggest female crossover artist since Jennifer Lopez'?'
A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2014/March. The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Laundry Service.

Worldwide Sales[edit]

Although the article has a cited source of the album having sold 13 million copies worldwide, I think we should go with the sales figure found on Shakira's official website which states that the album has sold 20 million copies worldwide.

Link:http://www.shakira.com/music/—Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.238.48.237 (talk) 04:58, 24 September 2010 (UTC)

Lyrics[edit]

„The lyrics of some of the songs are a little bizarre, which has led to some criticism” -- I'll remove this until someone finds other source than amiright.com which is basically a site where people are making fun of lyrics. Alensha 14:46, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

Shakira mtv unplugged album

Merge[edit]

Servicio de lavandería, Laundry Service and Laundry Service: Washed & Dried are different editions of the same recording session. All three should be merged to one single article. - Oskarg956 07:26, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

Sales[edit]

Could someone with a little more interest in the album read [1] and other relevant sources and sort out the sales figures, with proper references? Thanks. Nimmo 12:33, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Laundry Service.jpg[edit]

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 this Wikipedia article 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 Wikipedia: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.

Bad writing[edit]

'Shakira Was canceled the single of the new and english version Eyes Like Yours/Ojos Asi in 2005 but Shakira says was a next alnum in 2005'

...really? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.162.122.5 (talk) 23:10, 3 April 2010 (UTC)

/* Critical reception */ WP:UNDUE?[edit]

Is the Rolling Stone Lechner review being given WP:UNDUE? Although it should be covered, it seems that the article is giving it too much emphasis compared to other reviews, who seem to be more positive. Now this might be because Lechner's familiarity with Shakira's Spanish language albums, which the other reviewers might not be familiar with or linguistically qualified to comment on, but if this is the case, it should be stated as such while reducing the emphasis on Lechner's review.

Orphaned references in Laundry Service[edit]

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Laundry Service's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Misc. info[edit]

Just some info that I need to share.

  • #1 on the European Top 100 Albums chart.
  • US Year-End chart (Also has European Top 100 year-end chart on page 56)
