Talk:KT Tunstall

message: I raise this here rather than edit the article for a number of interrelated reasons, chief being that I really am mainly a Wikipedia user and haven't ever edited an article before, and because there's been such an edit war over this issue (with both "sides", including the one I agree with, behaving rather intemperately), not only on this article but also spilling over to Annie Lennox, Big Country, and Texas (though strangely Sharleen Spiteri has been left alone as simply "Scottish") amongst others for all I know, and I don't really want to step into an open edit war on my first go at saying/doing *anything* on Wikipedia.
Also, I can't pretend to be an impartial observer on the issue as I have met Ms. Tunstall and consider myself a fairly devoted fan of the music and of the person, and as an American of (amongst other things) Scottish descent, I'm a bit sensitive to seeming suggestions that there's really no such thing any more as Scottish identity. 
Be that as it may, I think the following quote from an interview with St. Andrews Radio, which discusses Tunstall's deep connections to the Fife scene in general and Fence Collective in particular, may point towards settling the issue at least locally to this article:
http://www.standrewsradio.com/?q=blog/1174/interview-kt-tunstall
"Rollo: Do you regard yourself as a Scottish musician?
KT: I do, yes."
WP:UKNATIONALS states: 'It cannot be called "wrong" to change an existing nationality (e.g.: Welsh to British, or British to Irish) provided a sufficient connection exists.' It seems to me that "sufficient connection" should be founded neither in an excess devotion to nor an excess hostility to expressions of Scottish national pride, independence, or whatever. But it should weigh considerably that Tunstall is very frequently identified both by her self and by media in and out of the UK as Scottish, and that "Scottish" certainly points to "British" by obvious implication as a member of a constituent nation, whereas "British" can sometimes obfuscate Scottish (or Welsh, or NI) identity, unnecessarily I think in Tunstall's case. It also seems quite curious that this issue--a political one having actually little to do with the performers in question--has erupted over Scottish musicians, whilst Marina Diamandis, Charlotte Church, and Dame Shirley Bassey, amongst others, are named on their articles as "Welsh singers" without any similar objection or controversy or claim that someone is trying to "erase the UK" or such. Exercise to the reader, and all that.
Anyway, as I point out above I don't feel it'd be appropriate for me to actually make the edit at this point, but I hope my posting this here might ultimately lead to cooler heads prevailing and this article reverting to KT as "Scottish" as it has been for most of its existence, based not on politics but instead on the facts as they relate to Ms. Tunstall.

thread_title:  Tunstall considers herself  "a Scottish musician." 

message: User: JSowell98 recently attempted to add a height to the infobox. At 5' 2", I think Tunstall's height is notable although, apart from the disputed IMDB, I am struggling to find a "good" source. It seems, however, that height is not a parameter used in . So even if there is a good source, we can never know how tall musicians are just from their infobox? It seems a bit odd to put a height anywhere else in an article. What do other editors think?

message: Is David Orr her birth father?  The article doesn't say, or maybe I missed it.  This should be clarified because we read that Tunstall "disowns" him.  If he's unconnected to her by blood, it's hard to see what there would be to disown.  Thanks.  GetSomeUtah (talk) 08:56, 5 June 2017 (UTC)

message: Regarding this edit, KT Tunstall is not a work of KT Tunstall, so I have removed this article from the category and instead added it as the main article on top of the page of :Category:Works by KT Tunstall, see this edit. That is how works category pages are usually designed. Hope this is clearer. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:05, 14 July 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Marcocapelle, thank you for the explanation.  I did not understand your reasoning initially, and no edit summary was provided, so I just saw a unexplained confusing removal of a category.  Now I know where you are coming from.  Again, thanks. Mburrell (talk) 21:11, 14 July 2019 (UTC)
