Talk:Holly Valance

message: For long time it was here that she is Serbian Australian, what she is and her name was shown in Serbian Cyrillic: Холи Рејчел Вукадиновић. Who now vandalize this page and remove all of that even when it was fine referenced? Her surname goes after Serb dad Rajko?
Some sources:
" Gilles Nuytens: You are also in the cast of the hit TV show Prison Break, how did you land on the show?
Holly Valance: Like everyone else. I auditioned. I didn’t think I had a chance though because the girls I was up against really had Slavic accents so I thought I was screwed, turns out my Serbian roots kicked in and I was able to pull it off. "

replies: text: Quoting from WP:OPENPARA, "Ethnicity or sexuality should not generally be emphasized in the opening". There is no evidence that she holds Serbian citizenship. Nymf hideliho! 19:48, 5 April 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Does she have English one? However even if she doesn't have it, she belong to Serbian Australian. And I will let her know on twitter that you or whoever delete such facts. She is not ashamed of her roots, as you see, she speaks about it in interview.178.253.217.190 (talk) 19:54, 5 April 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  [[Serbian Australian]] 

message: I've managed to secure images from Universal Online Australia  to use images of Holly Valance and albums so long as we abide by their terms and agreements. All shots, except :Image:Kiss_kiss_-_limited_edition.jpg (which is a limited edition cover which I think should be fairuse for historical reasons) will be publicity shots and we'll have their permission to use them. - Ta bu shi da yu 07:39, 28 Jun 2004 (UTC)
thread_title: Images

message: I'd like to know how many songs she's actually written herself, or whether she just gets away with being a singer because she wears next to nothing. I also haven't noted the fact that she got sued (and lost) after she dropped her old manager. - Ta bu shi da yu 09:16, 28 Jun 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Being a singer does not necessarily mean being a songwriter. Tin Pan Alley is alive and well. -- Karada 10:18, 28 Jun 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Fair enough. Well, I've added the sections where she dumped her manager, as well as links to the court transcripts and online newspaper articles - Ta bu shi da yu 10:35, 28 Jun 2004 (UTC)

text: Well, the article needs info on how her Sister got sick and her current movies she'll be making. I don't keep up with her much though. She might look good, but she seems awful. - Ta bu shi da yu 11:28, 20 Dec 2004 (UTC)
thread_title: Lawsuit

message: It says her father is "Serbian-Croatian". What does that mean? Is he a Serb or a Croat? Is he from Serbia or Croatia? Vukadinović seems like a Serbian name.
It also says she was educated at a Roman Catholic high school. Does that mean she's catholic or she just went to a catholic school?
:Answer: she's Serbian, her father's both name and surname are typically Serbian. (Verbatimdat (talk) 16:08, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Ethnicity and religion 

message: It seems like their inclusion in the main article just adds a cluttered look and even at the expense of having more album stubs added into the mix, it would be fair to at least separate the full length releases into their own articles if they are notable enough to even be mentioned. Anyone else agree? 65.145.212.238 05:55, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Albums as separate articles? 

message: I know this might seem like splitting hairs, or however the saying goes, but wouldn't it be more likely, given her Serbian heritage, that the song "Kiss Kiss" was based on the Serbian cover-song "Afrodiziak" by Jelena Karleuša (which in turn was based on "Simarik") rather than on the Turkish original? Hecko 02:28, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: No, I recall interviews at the time stated that it was based on the Turkish song.  Would be good if someone could find a reference to substantiate this, though...  Robwingfield (talk) 08:59, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  CSI in 2007 

message: Can somebody please go through the article and clean up please. I am not a fan, (linked from one article to another), but find the lines toffee crisp, £3  record and sponsorship deals quite hard for anyone to believe. I looked back through several revisions and it appears to be vandalism still left over from previously that nobody has spotted. I did however burst out laughing when I read about her 147. Didn't even know she played snooker.

replies: text: You can edit the article and remove anything you think is nonsense (explain what you have done in the edit summary). If you are not sure about something, add  after any 'facts' you question. This will place a (citations needed) tag in the article. If citations are not supplied in a reasonable time the item can be deleted. -- Donald Albury 21:27, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

message: I have added the merge template to the Please Please Please Me article on some reasons per Wikipedia:MUSIC#Albums_and_songs:
*"It ranked on national or significant music charts". This song has not.
*"That have won significant awards or honors or that have been performed independently by several notable artists". This song has not.
*"Separate article is only appropriate when there is enough verifiable material to warrant a reasonably detailed article; permanent stubs should be merged to articles about an artist or album". This song has only two lines in the whole article. Lillygirl (talk) 10:34, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

message: Her singing career effectively ended years ago, I'm not sure of the protocol, but does that still warrant a music artist template or should it change since she's full-time actress now? 155.69.192.22 (talk) 08:13, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Infobox 

message: I removed spelling of her name in the Serbian language as I saw it as unnecessary; she is an Australian while only her father is Serbian. Mattbuck reverted me without much explanation, "may as well keep it...". Is there any reason to have the spelling in Serbian?
P.S.: This is a typical case like the one with Jennifer Aniston, where spelling of her name in the Greek language was removed; her father is Greek while she is American. Any input? Cheers. — Kedaditalk 16:54, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: There appears to be no more need for a parenthetical Serbian spelling in this article than, say, an Arabic one (هولي فلانس). The subject of the article appears to have no particular connection to Serbia other than ancestry, and there isn't even a Serbian version of the article, which emphasizes that lack of connection.
