Talk:Sharleen Spiteri

Untitled

This piece ("Interview with Diva! magazine re Lesbian fan base")

http://www.divamag.co.uk/diva/features.asp?AID=1712

(that is linked to at the botton of the article in "External links") is - in part - strikingly similar to the article itself.

Is it Sharleen Spiteri singing the song used during breaks on Sky Sports News? (UK digital channel.)

Is it possible to use more of a "closeup" picture of Sharleen to head the article? I can hardly make her out from the one that's there at present.

Update - that's better, thanks.

RE: Norton interview - where she had words with Paris Hilton - I remember seeing the interview and the facts are accurate but I cannot find a reference for it - I did not write the original text. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.6.14.212 (talk) 19:50, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

There is the URL site for the Graham Norton interview [1]. Hope this helps. - Tony 171.71.55.235 (talk) 18:00, 21 September 2009 (UTC)

Needs to be edited.

This article is far too focussed on Texas. There already is a Wikipedia article on the band. SS's article should focus on her.

Also, there is some redundancy in the writing.

For example, "she co-founded the band while still a hairdresser" is repeated.

I think that Geography might also be a useful subject to take: Bellshill is not “nearby” to Balloch, as the article suggests; it’s over thirty miles away, and on completely the other side of Glasgow. I realize that some may argue that it’s “nearby” comparative to Tokyo or Sydney Australia, but would suggest that dropping it entirely removes any sense of false proxiity.

The bulk of the article is essentially a robotic list of chart statistics - "the next single was released on DATE, reaching #3 in its first week before dropping to #6 in its second week and then dropping to #17 in its third week and then dropping to #26 in its fourth week etc". It feels computer-generated and it's horrible to read because it says almost nothing about the subject. What went wrong? 81.174.211.132 (talk) 00:28, 8 November 2015 (UTC)

New infobox image

I've re-worked another image on the Commons to make it suitable for use in the infobox, as I thought the background of the previous image, and the previous version of the new image, was a little distracting. The new image is more focussed on the subject. nagualdesign 22:15, 14 July 2017 (UTC)
