New full length jazz album with Tony Bennett. Can someone please add this? http://www.nme.com/news/lady-gaga/66376 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.61.73.208 (talk) 23:36, 29 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Correct the pronunciation

It is requested that edits be made to the following semi-protected articles:

D (edit · history · last · links · protection log)
V (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

It should be /[invalid input: 'icon']ˈstɛfəni/ and /[invalid input: 'icon']dʒɜːr/. 109.245.60.87 (talk) 18:46, 15 September 2012 (UTC)Pronuciation Request[reply]

Not done I agree. Please provide a reliable source. Closed edit request. Vacation9 (talk) 23:34, 26 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

FAME fragrance

The release of "FAME" along with her collaboration with Steven Klein and Ridley Scott (producer) on the trailer should be added to the page, surely? --90.195.223.242 (talk) 15:11, 18 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It's also just been named the second fastest selling fragrance ever, following Coco Chanel, after selling 6 million bottles in 1 week. --90.195.223.189 (talk) 18:27, 22 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Lady Gaga's Unreleased Songs

What about songs of Lady Gaga which wasn't released on official singles? Galzigler (talk) 19:58, 19 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

They are, most like, not notable enough to have their own articles. --I dream of horses (T) @ 20:30, 29 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I wasn't talking about articles for these songs. I meant it should be mentioned in the article. Galzigler (talk) 19:45, 2 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Update To Political Activism/Personal Life

I can't edit the page but I would like to suggest an alteration to the Lady Gaga wikipedia entry. Under Political Activism, I think it should be mentioned that Lady Gaga supports the legalization of marijuana in the US and plans to discuss it with Barack Obama. She also smoked marijuana on stage in Amsterdam. Here's a link as a source: http://www.celebeat.com/articles/10570/20120920/lada-gaga-smokes-pot-stage-amsterdam-video.htm — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yankss9 (talk • contribs) 03:58, 21 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

New profile picture

File:Lady Gaga BTW Ball Antwerp 02.jpg — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.223.227.92 (talk) 17:22, 5 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I have changed the profile picture to a newer one, since it's good to use the freshest picture there, and while the previous one was taken in 2010, this one was shot in September 2012. Also, the singer's face can be seen clearly thus it's a good portray of her to be used in the main information box. Anyone disagreeing, please share your opinion here, instead of reverting the edit with no explanation other than being hung on the previously used photo. --Sricsi (talk) 09:04, 4 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I say leave the 2010 photo as is. Tribal44 (talk) 23:15, 4 October 2012 (UTC)Tribal44[reply]

This is not reasoning. If you want to keep it, let me know why is it better than a new one. --Sricsi (talk) 10:15, 5 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I think we should change it to the 2012 one, because it is newer, and has a better quality. Kirtap92 (talk) 10:23, 5 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This is a matter to be determined by consensus. Please don't change the image until consensus is reached. Cresix (talk) 17:28, 5 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

And what's your opinion, Cresix? There won't be a consensus soon if nobody shares an opinion. --Sricsi (talk) 17:33, 5 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I don't have an opinion, nor is one required on Wikipedia. I'm simply asking for the add-revert process to stop until consensus is reached. Cresix (talk) 17:35, 5 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

93.74.237.242 (talk) 19:43, 8 October 2012 (UTC)So editing for the page is closed. Hmmm... This fact breaks the main rule of Wikipedia - a free encyclopedia which anyone can edit. Bad.[reply]
