Spelling
I moved this to Blond Ambition Tour (from Blonde Ambition Tour). See, for instance, official memorabilia and merchandise here.

Show Cancelations
I was watching Truth or Dare and Madonna says she had to cancel two shows in Italy.. Only one is mentioned in this article??UltimateKylie 07:42, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
Warm Up Acts
someone keeps removing Adele Humphrey from the warm up acts part. Technotronic is not cited either, but i dont see a problem with that. i'm sure thousands of people can vouch for technotronic and adele?
could someone please return that data to the page?
Tour title
There seems to be some disagreement about the title to the tour. I have added my scan of the official tourbook which clearly depicts the title as Blond Ambition World Tour. I can also prove this by showing links to the official laserdisc and tv broadcast: [1] and also a site which has scans of official posters and concert tickets [2]
If you go to Madonna's official site [3] there a various errors which some seem to be taking as real;
- The title of the tour is Blonde Ambition Tour which is incorrect.
- There is a date for the tour on July 21, 1991 in London which is incorrect.
Just because its an official website does not mean there is no mistakes, I think that I have proved my findings. Thanks JWAD (talk)
- Unfortunately, there are two copyright documents that acknowledge the title (as referenced in the articles, ref link 1 & 2) as "The Blond Ambition Tour". Regardless of posters and VHS releases, I believe a legal document trumps all of this. Dancefloor royalty (talk) 03:53, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
- I've already explained in great detail (on your talk page) the name of this tour and yet you still continue to protest it. You are not always right, someone proved you wrong...get over it. I sure if Madonna herself told you it was call The Blond Ambition Tour, you would still try to argue with her. KM*hearts*MC (talk) 06:50, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
- Please do not leave messages which are childish and condescending. Your attacks on other users are not going unnoticed and any further will result in you being reported. I started a discussion in the discussion page for this tour and you have reacted with personal attacks and childish behaviour which quite frankly is immature. If you find the changing of the title as petty, then why do you keep changing it? I have proven the tour's title through concert tickets, the official tourbook, the laserdisc release - ALL OFFICIALLY released by Madonna and her record company. Your arguement is unfounded and is basically being created by you to cause trouble. The copyright entries you are refering to are the TV special from Barcelona and the Laserdisc release from Nice. imdb.com is a more reliable source and shows the final release title. Many Thanks JWAD (talk)
- I have added in further tour posters which clearly identify the tour as a WORLD TOUR. This is official and an advertisement for the tour. I think with proving through the OFFICIAL tourbook and OFFICIAL tour ads what the tour was actually named. Many thanks JWAD (talk)
- Yet, all of your "references" are from England/The UK. The tour title did not appeared in the tourbooks during the JP/NA leg as "The Blond Ambition World Tour". I have provided several print explanations of several tour names. Included all tour "titles" within the intro para and main body of the article to reach consensus.

Arbitration For Title Dispute
I have requested arbitration on this matter. I have reverted any recent edits done to the article and I kindly ask that any and all editors refrain from making any edits until this case has come to a conclusion. Alkclark (talk) 16:41, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
This article subject of sockpuppet operation
FYI, this article was subjected to a sockpuppet operation running over the last six months. User:Alkclark and User:Dancefloor royalty and User:KM*hearts*MC and User:64.140.0.3 were all the same person, operating in conjunction. See Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/Alkclark. In particular, the above "Arbitration For Title Dispute" was pure theatre; as can be seen here, it consisted of Alkclark pretending to be a neutral player between his/her socks Dancefloor royalty and KM*hearts*BC on one side and Jwad on the other. Any changes made to this article due to the bogus apparent consensus of the socks or due to edit war bullying by the socks, can be reversed. Wasted Time R (talk) 00:14, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

Incorrect sample in "Like a Prayer"
"Like a Prayer" doesn't sample "Act of Contrition" in the tour. The samples used (namely the oh my god and the "churchapella" in reverse) belong to a remix of the original "Like a Prayer": the 7" Remix Edit. It sounds more similar to that remix than to the other track of the album.

Critical Reception
Surely there must be some kind of reviews of the tour?
