==Devil May Cry==
The information about the song "Barbarella as a Boy" is false, it never appeared in the Devil May Cry video game. The song was among others that Izzy Novak did in a group called [http://izzynovak.tripod.com/bio.html Devil May Cry]. I'll try and change it myself, but I don't edit on Wikipedia often.

==Fair use rationale for Image:Barbarella-a1.jpg==
[[Image:Nuvola apps important.svg|70px|left]]
'''[[:Image:Barbarella-a1.jpg]]''' is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under [[Wikipedia:Fair use|fair use]] but there is no [[Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline|explanation or rationale]] as to why its use in '''this''' Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the [[Wikipedia:Image copyright tags/Fair use|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 [[WP:FU|fair use]].
 
Please go to [[:Image:Barbarella-a1.jpg|the image description page]] and edit it to include a [[Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline |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. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
 
If there is 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 lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#Images.2FMedia|criteria for speedy deletion]]. If you have any questions please ask them at the [[Wikipedia:Media copyright questions|Media copyright questions page]]. Thank you.<!-- Template:Missing rationale2 -->

== "chanteuse" ==
 
Is "chanteuse" different from "singer"? If so, is it standard enough English not to need a link to a wiki entry explaining it?--[[User:Richardson mcphillips|Richardson mcphillips]] ([[User talk:Richardson mcphillips|talk]]) 15:30, 15 February 2014 (UTC)
:It's not really different, no. It's just a colorful (read: pretentious) French loan-word that means "female singer". (Pretentious in English, I mean.) No different than saying "songstress" or "crooner" instead of "singer". It is ''fairly'' common English, at least in some circles, but if people find it problematic or feel it needs to be explained then I'd suggest simply changing it to "singer" instead. — [[User:FeRD NYC|FeRD_NYC]] ([[User talk:FeRD NYC|talk]]) 09:23, 17 March 2014 (UTC)
 
== Can't see the Forest (Who put all these trees in my way!?) ==
 
There's an entry on this article's [[Barbarella (comics)#Popular culture|Popular culture]] scrap pile that reads: {{quote|An aged Barbarella appeared in Forest's ''Mysterious Morning, Noon and Evening''.}}
The item isn't merely uncited, it's completely devoid of WikiLinks, which makes it impossible to connect to... reality. That presents a bit of a conundrum for me, because honestly ''I have no idea what those words mean when arranged in that particular order.'' Is there anyone who can unpack that reference, for the rest of us? — [[User:FeRD NYC|FeRD_NYC]] ([[User talk:FeRD NYC|talk]]) 09:09, 17 March 2014 (UTC)
:Now that I look at it, the last entry suffers from the same problem: {{quote|The character is mentioned in the MIA song, Bamboo Banga.}}
:(I thought I could guess who "MIA" refers to, but as it turns out that's not true at all. There are at least three possibilities.) — [[User:FeRD NYC|FeRD_NYC]] ([[User talk:FeRD NYC|talk]]) 09:36, 17 March 2014 (UTC)
