: Galás herself suffers from hepatitis C. "I have Hepatitis C, so the parallels are quite close with HIV, if somewhat different," she related in a 2006 interview with Michael Evans. "It's so huge now. So many people have hepatitis now. You see magazines now describe it as the AIDS of the new millennia. How stupid."
which is a misquote on several counts; i'll state other objections to its restoration later.--Jerzy•t 23:29, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

message: Hello Lourdes, in regards to your actual additions:It seems like your additions were deleted by a bot so I was not able to view all of your additions clearly. The additions that I was able to access seemed relevant to the topic.I would like to let you know that your addition of the tattoo is great because it demonstrates her resilience in fighting for rights. On the other hand, your comment about her brother passing away is slightly irrelevant and distracting, but if you believe that this particular addition is important then please explain.
Hello the article seems to be neutral and everything is relevant to the Galas, but it is rather important to review the citations because several sentences in the article are missing citations. However, in general the links of the sources work fine and are reliable because several of them are from reputable news sources like the New York Times or San Diego Union Tribune.Therefore the majority of the claims are free of bias and are supported by neutral sources. Also, it appears as though there is a huge devotion to the musical performances that Galas participated in, but it was rather distracting to notice that her awards are underrepresented because only 1 of her awards is noted. Therefore it may be worth adding additional awards that she may have received. It is organized nicely because everything is placed in chronological order. I also made adjustments to the article because I added a citation to "Galás was awarded Italy's prestigious Demetrio Stratos International Career Award" and I added a link to the word "AIDS" because people without healthcare experience may not know what AIDS were.

message: I added hyperlinks to the AIDS activism section. I added one to Masque of the Red Death, to Plague Mass as well as to AIDS. These topics should be linked to another page to further explain them in detail. I also added to the Background and Education section. There I discussed how her father influenced her music and how her and her brother were influenced by dark literature artists. Smich2017 (talk) 00:37, 9 December 2017 (UTC)

message: Maybe I just didn't get this sentence, I'm not a native English speaker:  Can someone please elaborate and preferably modify the sentence as it is misleading? Or does it sound clear to you?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by V0174 (talk • contribs) 10:21, 21 December 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Good call. It was added here by . I've taken it out because, as you pointed out, it doesn't make sense. It's also not in the source, which isn't a reliable source. Cheers, -- irn (talk) 16:05, 21 December 2017 (UTC)

message: i unlinked Masque of the Red Death because her trilogy is called Masque of the Red Death and is only related to Poe by the title. 173.87.168.242 (talk) 08:29, 15 February 2018 (UTC)

message: "At 19, Galas moved to Oakland, CA where she studied biochemistry at the University of Southern California, specializing in immunology and hematology studies.[9]"
This sentence conflates two separate events, as the University of Southern California is located in Los Angeles, not Oakland.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Korladis (talk • contribs) 09:05, 15 March 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Good call. I couldn't find more information on that, but at least I separated the two sentences and changed it so that it no longer reads that USC is in Oakland. Cheers, -- irn (talk) 14:30, 16 March 2018 (UTC)

message: I removed (from the Further reading section):
  
    *An official biography by John Payne was to be published in 2016.
This has still not been published, but also no reference existed about it and why it was delayed (or possibly abandoned). And an announcement I found in a magazine article states 2014 as its publication date (http://www.bluefat.com/Diva/Diamanda_Galas.html). 
Would it be wise to re-insert it (possibly in a more appropriate section, like the Background and education section) and change 2016 to 2014 using the reference I found, or would it be better to wait and keep this information here until more information is found on this?
