Origin

There is conflicts in where she was born. Was it in Australia or UK? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.29.82.188 (talk) 12:19, 27 April 2013 (UTC) She was born in Australia. -peacesignxo they also moved to mullumbimby when she was young

American

First 'non-American' rapper? That's not accurate is it, as she would have had American citizenship at that time right? I think the questions here are how/when did she get citizenship, and did she immigrate to the U.S. illegally? Just coming here and staying isn't exactly legal... -- Erroneuz1 (talk) 02:01, 27 May 2013 (UTC)

she has a working visa, and is still an Australian citizen — Preceding unsigned comment added by Byronworth00 (talk • contribs) 08:07, 28 May 2014 (UTC)

Erroneuz1, are you referring to this sentence?

Also in 2012, Azalea became the first female and non-American rapper to be featured on XXL magazine's annual Top 10 Freshman cover issue.

I don't get what it means. Was she the first female rapper and the first non-American rapper...? Or was she the first non-American female rapper...? Dyspeptic skeptic (talk) 01:51, 4 June 2014 (UTC)

Genre by consensus

To avoid genre warring, changes to existing genre Hip hop and Electropop require consensus. The absence of a reference in the infobox is not grounds for blanking the genre. Flat Out let's discuss it 13:03, 5 July 2013 (UTC)

Photo

The main photo of this article is really vulgar. Can you please change or cut it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.130.19.15 (talk) 16:07, 9 June 2014 (UTC)

I added a PG13 version for you kids....--Stemoc (talk) 22:32, 9 June 2014 (UTC)

I don't see what makes it vulgar. Could someone kindly point out what I'm overlooking? Dyspeptic skeptic (talk) 23:47, 18 August 2014 (UTC)

I agree. But it shows nothing but skimpy clothing. maybe we should crop out the legs? zlouiemark ^{[ T ] [ C ]} 03:59, 28 November 2014 (UTC)

The complaint was about an earlier photo (since changed); see the link in my comment above. I guess the unstated objection is that the photo suggests fellatio. I don't know what could be "cut" to remove that suggestion without ruining the photo, though. Dyspeptic skeptic (talk) 12:55, 18 January 2015 (UTC)

Beatles' achievement

This is what's written in the article: ""Fancy" reached number one on the US Billboard Hot 100, with Azalea becoming only the fourth solo female rapper ever to top the Hot 100. Additionally, with Azalea featured on Ariana Grande's single "Problem", which rose to number two on the Hot 100, the same week "Fancy" topped the chart, Azalea joined The Beatles as the only acts to rank at numbers one and two simultaneously with their first two Hot 100 hits." However this achievement was mentioned in Billboard itself, I doubt if it's right. In Work (Iggy Azalea song) I read that her 2013 song "Work" peaked at #54 in the Billboard Hot 100. Therefore, Problem and Fancy are not her first two Hot 100 hits. Can somebody check this? Clausule (talk) 16:16, 1 July 2014 (UTC)

'Work' entered the Billboard Hot 100 the same week Problem entered the chart. It had previously entered the Bubbling Under Hot 100 chart in 2013. here's the link, (137.147.25.52 (talk) 00:47, 3 July 2014 (UTC))

Photo

Such a horrible photo of her. Can we please change it to something more appealing? User:JoyUnity — Preceding undated comment added 00:27, 19 December 2014 (UTC)

@JoyUnity: It's probably the best free image we have. We can't use a non-free image in the infobox; the image we use must be free. —C.Fred (talk) 03:37, 19 December 2014 (UTC)

Well, where do you find free images, or at least how to find out if they are free? -- Joseph Prasad (talk) 04:13, 19 December 2014 (UTC)

You can restrict a Google image search to images labeled for reuse with modification. —C.Fred (talk) 04:38, 19 December 2014 (UTC)

I've just imported a number of photos from Flickr which appear to have appropriate licensing. You can view them here. They are all titled Iggy Azalea 7-16-2014. Use Flickr's advanced search to find images that can be used on Wikipedia. You need to select "Only search within Creative Commons-licensed content," and tick both options. I then use Flickr-to-Commons to import them, as it checks licensing and uploads the highest resolution file available, and also adds author info, tags and a description. But, people can upload any images to Flickr and claim them as their own, so even though an image may be appropriately licensed, it may not be allowed. Melonkelon (talk) 05:25, 19 December 2014 (UTC)

Which photo within the article were you referring to? The one in the infobox at the time you posted your comment does not strike me as either horrible or unappealing. Dyspeptic skeptic (talk) 13:17, 18 January 2015 (UTC)

Thank You, User:JoyUnity

Criticism

Perhaps it would be worth mentioning the wide-ranging criticism of Azalea? There have been substantial allegations of cultural appropriation from prominent African-Americans, Slate, Azealia Banks (perhaps what most people would have heard about) and there's no shortage of newspaper coverage. A simple Google search for "Criticism of Iggy Azalea" returns no shortage of results. Thoughts? James ^{(T • C)} • 10:54 PM • 11:54, 14 January 2015 (UTC)

If there are specific controversies, then yes those should be included. Criticism would quickly lead to WP:NPOV issues. Karst (talk) 13:02, 18 January 2015 (UTC)

Surely though that is what controversy sections on other articles exist for though. The NPOV issue would be due to if it is written specifically for the purpose of hating someone rather than informing of their unsavoury attitudes. I'm sure if someone is interested enough they'll be more than happy to add a Controversy section and detail every bit of wrong Iggy Azalea has done and provide reputable links, of which there are countless to choose from.
