Talk:Lady Gaga

Updating

Something needs to be mentioned about the religious uproar Gaga caused in Indonesia regarding her tour. Also, once it's aired, her appearance on "The Simpsons" should be noted. --90.195.223.61 (talk) 01:17, 19 May 2012 (UTC)

Let's be clear; the uproar was caused by the Islamist groups that threatened violence. Gaga was the victim, not the cause.William Jockusch (talk) 16:48, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

Can somebody please update the link to my course page on Lady Gaga and the Sociology of Fame (my university pages are being moved). The reference appears in note 164. http://deflem.blogspot.com/2002/08/socy398d.html I also write a lot about Gaga from an academic viewpoint. Use sources as applicable: http://deflem.blogspot.com/p/publications.html#gaga Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MathieuDeflem (talk • contribs) 17:44, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

Did any of the web archivers pick up the pages at their old location? It may be better to link to the archived version than to a blogspot version. —C.Fred (talk) 00:17, 22 June 2012 (UTC)

Lady Gaga cameo in a Katy Perry new movie

Gaga will appear in a new documentary Katy Perry: Part of Me. Should it be added to article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by JovanMonster (talk • contribs) 21:08, 24 June 2012 (UTC)

Do you have a reliable source to support this? teman13 ^{TALKCONTRIBUTIONS} 21:57, 24 June 2012 (UTC)

Yep > http://www.clevver.com/music/music-news/2084/lady-gaga-makes-a-cameo-in-katy-perry-movie.html — Preceding unsigned comment added by JovanMonster (talk • contribs) 11:46, 25 June 2012 (UTC)

That is not a reliable source, reliable sources are established companies such as NBC, ABC, MTV, etc. I'm quite sure Clevver is not a relaiable source, when you find one it will be added. teman13 ^{TALKCONTRIBUTIONS} 16:12, 25 June 2012 (UTC)

Edit request on 26 June 2012

I want to edit Lady Gaga's wikipedia because there is a news that Lady Gaga was worshiping satan.

125.164.144.195 (talk) 11:34, 26 June 2012 (UTC) With this confirmation, I will edit the article.

You cannot for two reasons:

1 - This is a BLP article, all content must have multiple reliable sources - especially for content that will cause somewhat controversy.

2 - Only Autoconfirmed Users can edit this article. -- MST☆R ^{(Chat Me!)} 11:40, 26 June 2012 (UTC)

Trimming "associated acts"

Does anyone else think the "associated acts" section of the infobox needs trimming? Most if not all of the people listed there do not meet the definition of "associated acts", and instead seem to meet the various criteria the field is supposed to avoid. Normally I would go ahead and trim it outright, but for this article I thought I should bring it up here first. Thanks. Acalamari 11:55, 26 June 2012 (UTC)

An associated act it is a group or duo the artist has been a part of. Lady Gaga's only associated act is Lady Starlight. The Bookkeeper (of the Occult) 20:51, 26 June 2012 (UTC)

MIB3

Lady Gaga does not appear in the film, only appears in two images, that does not make a cameo, must remove that part, this information is false. Ozkithar Salas (talk) 23:00, 26 June 2012 (UTC)

I'll take it off the Filmography list, and post a note not to add it back. --Electric Ooh La La, ^{Who brings a gun to a knife fight? The winner.} 01:31, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

Lead infobox image

Could I suggesst this image Lady Gaga in Rome for the Lead image?? Its a better quality picture, more flattering and a wee bit more recent than the current one. Feel free to drop me your opinions folks! BrotherDarksoul ^{Blether 03:38, 03 July 2012 (UTC)}

I like it! I really do! It is time for a change, I think, and I can definitely see that as the new one. --Electric Ooh La La, ^{Who brings a gun to a knife fight? The winner.} 01:31, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

The problem with that image is Lady Gaga is known to be a blond instead of having blue hair. Likewise, she may be hard to recognize for some. --GouramiWatcher ^(Gulp) 01:41, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

I agree I think it is time for a change too! Also gourami watcher, isn't Gaga known for having several different styles and for being in a state of constant change? I do get what you are saying though, especially when she first started out. I just felt that when I found that picture that it was slightly more flattering to her. BrotherDarksoul ^{Blether 13:00, 04 July 2012 (UTC)}

Both of you make excellent points. Let's not forget, though, there are plenty of recent instances where Gaga is seen with blonde hair. If it is decided a change will be made, there's a ton of image options out there to make everyone happy. --Electric Ooh La La, ^{Who brings a gun to a knife fight?
