Dates[edit]

Filled out the page a bit more. Hopefully at some point someone else will fill in some dates. I have only been able to provide a vague timeline, such as "in the early 90s," etc. Hopefully someone else can add more precise dates at some point. Aesculapius75 17:19, 14 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

B'jelland?[edit]

Where did the apostrophe come from? I don't have a complete collection, but it seems like she's spelled it Bjelland through most if not all of her professional life. Here's something written recently on her Katastrophy Wife website where it's "Kat Bjelland": [1] The newish Babes/Bjelland collection says Bjelland on it, in Kat's distinctive handwriting. So...shouldn't it be Bjelland throughout? Including in the name of this article? Nareek 18:35, 29 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah it's just all kinds of bizarre, I mean really. Felicity Knife 14:15, 19 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move[edit]

Per above, Kat B'jelland → Kat Bjelland – apparent typo, no spelling with apostrophe in article, needs administrator assistance. Bjelland is a fairly common name, and I've never seen it spelled with ~~a hyphen~~ an apostrophe in either North America or Norway. — Gene Nygaard 07:17, 27 February 2006 (UTC) [corrected 19:26, 1 March 2006 (UTC)][reply]

Support. I don't doubt that you could find her using the apostrophe spelling somewhere, but she goes by "Bjelland" in all the listings I've been able to check. Nareek 23:11, 27 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support as above. Looking at the liner notes for BiT's Fontanelle, Painkillers, and the Crunt album, there is no apostrophe—the Crunt disc lists her as "Kat Bjelland Gray". dfg 05:48, 28 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support I've never seen her name listed as "B'jelland." I think it might be something to do with a mispronounciation of the name. Felicity Knife 14:00, 1 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Riot Grrrl?[edit]

I don't think it's accurate to say that Babes in Toyland rose "as part" of the Riot Grrrl movement. While they were inspirational to many in the movement, they did not participate in riot grrrl culture.--Larrybob 19:19, 29 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Stripper in 80's[edit]

Although mention is often made of C. Love's work as a stripper, Bjelland also worked in Minneapolis/St. Paul as a stripper for private parties and gambling boats on the Mississippi during the mid-80's.74.38.65.178 10:07, 24 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in Kat Bjelland[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 Kat Bjelland'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.

Reference named "vh1":

From Hole (band): Behind the Music: Courtney Love. Episode 212. VH1 Networks. June 22, 2010.
From Courtney Love: "Courtney Love". Behind the Music. June 21, 2010. Vh1.
From Sugar Babydoll: "Behind the Music: Courtney Love". Behind the Music. 21 June 2010. Vh1.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 10:44, 22 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
