Signature

Shouldn't we add her signature to the bottom of the info box? Just an idea... --GagaLittleMonster (talk) 22:58, 8 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There's no field in Template:Infobox musical artist for a signature. –Chase (talk) 23:47, 8 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Then why does Beyonce Knowles have one? --GagaLittleMonster (talk) 09:19, 9 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If you look at the source code, an editor added the signature in the URL field and using a break <br />. Editors can do the same to Lady Gaga's infobox, providing that there is a signature available that we can use.  Davtra  (talk) 09:28, 9 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Why is this exactly needed? As far as I know, Beyonce and Rihanna uses the signature in their official decorums like their clothing labels, perfume etc. I don't see Gaga using her signatures in anything as of now. Hence such an image has no encyclopedic value, right now, but may be later. — Legolas (talk2me) 10:20, 9 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

She used her signature on her Mac lipstick. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.59.191.79 (talk) 08:44, 23 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, on her Mac lipstick so I've heard.. and her heartbeats headphones.--41.199.157.2 (talk) 23:32, 28 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request from Creaturedude7, 24 August 2010

{{editsemiprotected}} Please change the amount of text discussing why Lady Gaga is named Lady Gaga and add the fact that in the September of 2010 Vanity Fair article she said "One day I tested my friend Tom and asked him what he thought of 'Lady Gaga' and he loved it and I was like, O.K., that's it." This conflicts with previous explanations she has given and possibly reveals the fact that Rob Fusari is sueing her for the rights to her name. The actual origin of the name Lady Gaga is not concrete, and I feel this deserves some recognition. Creaturedude7 (talk) 20:01, 24 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I can't really change the article unless I can see the reference (is it online somewhere??). Do you own that issue of Vanity Fair? if so you just have to wait until your Wikipedia account has 10 edit and 4 days and you can edit the article yourself.--Commander Keane (talk) 03:53, 25 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes I have the Vanity Fair article but it's not online I believe. I might need to wait.Creaturedude7 (talk) 16:41, 26 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The reference doesn't have to be online. If you have the issue of Vanity Fair, simply state which issue, the date, author, page number(s), etc. Or you could wait, but you'd have to include that information anyway. 69.181.249.92 (talk) 16:49, 26 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Electronic genre?

User:SnapSnap has been using this source to cite the electronic music genre, despite Gaga only referring to her music as electronic pop (electropop). I am of the opinion that using a quote that calls her electropop to source the statement that she is an electronic musician is a violation of WP:SYNTH, but after a long dispute that has dragged out over several days, I am curious as to what other editors have to say on the matter. –Chase (talk) 21:32, 1 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]


albums sales

lady gaga sold 13 million albums not 15 million i was in the concert when she first heard about it 

http://www.theprophetblog.net/lady-gaga-reaches-sales-of-13-million-scores-third-consecutive-top-ten-albu

as a fan , you should fix the mistake —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bar17 (talk • contribs) 20:25, 12 September 2010 (UTC) --Bar17 (talk) 20:57, 12 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The problem is, that's a blog post that says she's only sold 13 million. The New York Daily News says she sold 15 million.[1] That's the source that's in the article currently, and I see no need to override that based on a blog post. —C.Fred (talk) 21:30, 12 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

r u kidding me ? i was in the concert and i saw it !!! in all the blogs there is the picture of gaga with plaque for sales of 13 million albums and gaga was so excited ... it was a few days ago .... why you stick with the old source ????? chack in her website its clearly that gaga sold 13 millions , gaga know that , all her fans know that .... --Bar17 (talk) 21:49, 12 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Awards lag actual sales. If you've got a recent reliable source that says she's only sold 13 million, put the link in a comment here. Blogs and first-hand accounts aren't reliable, however. —C.Fred (talk) 21:55, 12 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
