Former first first

Three singles from the most recent album are listed, and then the page says "the former of which...". Former can be used that way, it's not improper exactly, but it's a poorer choice than "first" when referring to a list of three or more things. Dictionary definitions don't rule out use in a longer list, but make special reference to a comparison of two things when using "former". It's a distraction at least, so I suggest a change to "first". 70.187.141.56 (talk) 15:41, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Change made. This is pretty similar to using the comparative form of an adjective ("-er") for two, and the superlative form ("-est") for more than two. MPFitz1968 (talk) 16:20, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. Also, that parameter would generally be reserved for long term relationships Cannolis (talk) 09:43, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Abortion

How many women have died since Roe versus Wade was overturned? We should point out if her statement is valid or not.73.133.252.58 (talk) 03:15, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
We already know from both history and in other countries that when abortion is banned, women who are forced to carry babies "to term" even if the baby itself has little/no chance of living or has already died can die, too.

Heritage

Where does it state that Rodrigo's father is only "three-quarters" Filipino descent as this version claims?[1] This sentence is attributed to two sources[2][3] which do not state her father is 3/4ths Filipino ancestry. The Guardian and many sources call her "Filipino-American"[4] while ABS-CBN notes her mother is German/Irish descent.[5]

They both state a paternal great-grandfather immigrated from the Philippines to America without other context, possibly implying that she's only 1/8th Filipino by descent. But I don't think that's the case. Clear Looking Glass (talk) 04:15, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Argument for pop-punk addition to genres?

Preface by saying I'm no professional analyst of music genre, but her songs like "all-american bitch", "good 4 u" (especially), "brutal", "get him back!" seem very pop-punk to me, and appear inspired by Paramore and Avril Lavigne, notably pop-punk artists. Although it's only a handful of songs and her style is clearly foremost pop, but with only 2 full albums released it seems large enough of her discography to warrant the addition to me. I can understand the argument that influence and inspiration do not equal being a part of the genre or scene, but it's just some something I'd like to see be discussed.
