Talk:Lulu (singer)

message: In my effort to merge the now-deleted list from the article Gay icon to the Gay icons category, I have added this page to the category. I engaged in this effort as a "human script", adding everyone from the list to the category, bypassing the fact-checking stage. That is what I am relying on you to do. Please check the article Gay icon and make a judgment as to whether this person or group fits the category. By distributing this task from the regular editors of one article to the regular editors of several articles, I believe that the task of fact-checking this information can be expedited. Thank you very much. Philwelch 21:06, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)

message: I've deleted the line about Lulu calling for the death of Muslims.  Something that controversial needs references, and I couldn't see any other mention of it in Google. User:rojomoke 16:28, 14 Feb 2006 (UTC)

message: IMDB lists her year of birth as 1948 -http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0525801/. The liner notes to the 1989 CD reissue of her album "Something to Shout About" also gives November 3rd 1948 as her date of birth.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Zeichner (talk • contribs) 13:51, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Surname 

message: I've noticed that there is a mixture of American and British spellings. Given that she's from the UK, the Brit spelling is likely more appropriate.
IMHO, they should be consistent, one style or the other. Pick one, and I can fix it all up.

replies: text: I think WP:ENGVAR and WP:TIES cover the points you're addressing, including consistency within an article.  I agree that the Brit spelling is more appropriate and that's the one I would pick.  If you're willing to do the work to update the article,  that would be great.  One way or another it should be consistent.  Thanks. Rossrs (talk) 11:50, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

text: Also, the article seems to use British date format (ie day month year) throughout, and that's more support, I guess, for using British spelling. Rossrs (talk) 11:51, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

message: Shouldn't her TV episodes be spun-off to a separate article?  It seems like WP:Undue weight for this article, taking up a majority of space. Or, would collapsible tables be acceptable?  —2606:A000:1126:4CA:0:98F2:CFF6:1782 (talk) 01:23, 24 June 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  TV episodes 

message: Details of Lulu's personal and family life, such as her marriages, are currently just part of her career chronology. Is there any advantage in creating a "Personal life" section? I was looking to place, for example, a general reference to her brother Billy Lawrie as covered here and her ancestry as covered here. Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 15:27, 23 January 2019 (UTC)

thread_title:  Remove  template 

message: Various non-humorous recent edits have been intermixed with serious attempts to document her appearance on The Masked Singer. In an attempt to fix them I seem to have removed all references. In any case, such a claim should be sourced. David Brooks (talk) 21:13, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Digital Spy. But plenty of others. Yes, she was dressed as a cake. 205.239.40.3 (talk) 21:19, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't doubt it, but various versions of the claim were not appropriate, and they were mixed with a DOB change. Fixed using Metro for source. David Brooks (talk) 21:27, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Appearance on Masked Singer 

message: Lulu covers her 1979 car accident from page 194 of her 2002 autobiography I Don't Want to Fight.  Other sources which cover it include udiscovermusic.com, Getty Images, Daily Mail, The Sun and The Times. She severed an artery in her head and shattered her knee, and was in hospital for a week. I think this is notable event in her life and should be mentioned. 205.239.40.3 (talk) 08:25, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
