:I've had my edit to "British" reverted twice now. English is an ethnicity - you do not become English by being born on the island, any more than you become Chinese by being born there, or becoming Zulu by being born in South Africa. Her ethnicity is Albanian, her nationality is British, and I will keep making this edit until it sticks. Thank you. 16:42, 28 March 2020 (UTC)

Bulgarian Chart

I deleted the "Bulgarian Chart" which was recently added to this page, because I was concerned about its legitimacy, but I see it's been put back. I don't doubt the good faith by the way, but my concern, which I should have made clearer, is whether this chart is in fact the "Bulgarian National Top 40" which Wikipedia:Record charts states is "a non-notable chart with dubious methodology". But I've asked for advice over at Wikipedia talk:Record charts. Pasicles (talk) 17:58, 29 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, so the basic conclusion is that the "Bulgarian National Top 40" is an unofficial chart maintained by euro200.net hosted in the Netherlands. The site contains a whole host of self-created music charts for various European countries. The main problem here is one of transparency -- there is no information known about how these charts are compiled, which is why this Bulgarian National Top 40 page was deleted back in 2008. On the other hand I'm not going to edit-war on my own over this -- life's too short -- so as a compromise, I'll let it be and add a short footnote mentioning that the chart is unofficial.

Orphaned references in Dua Lipa

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Dua Lipa's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "BPI":

  • From British Phonographic Industry: Gallup (4 February 1989). "The Top of the Pops Chart" (PDF). Record Mirror: 4. Retrieved 16 July 2010.
  • From List of music recording certifications: "The BPI". British Phonographic Industry. Retrieved 2013-11-19.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 12:58, 26 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Primary school

I would like to edit some grammatical mistakes that are in this wiki page

@Marin Zajmi and Sakura Cartelet: I'm not sure why but this user isn't autoconfirmed. CityOfSilver 02:29, 21 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@CityOfSilver: Strange. I just relooked at their contribs and it seems that they should have enough of them for their account to be autoconfirmed. Regardless the request doesn't seem to be worded well enough for any correction to be done. Sakura CarteletTalk 02:42, 21 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Ideally, they wouldn't have needed to make this (yeah, iffily worded) request in the first place. I asked User:Acroterion to grant the permission because there could have been a reason it didn't happen. CityOfSilver 02:50, 21 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Marking as answered since the user who made the request has been able to make the edit they wanted to. Sakura CarteletTalk 03:57, 21 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Protection?

Looking through the protection log for the page, it appears as if protection should have ended 3 days ago (and a bot has already removed the protection lock). However, it appears as if edits on this article still require confirmation since the blue background is still present on the article's history log. Is this a bug or am I missing something?

I've had my edit to "British" reverted twice now.

Request

Something needs to be added about her spamdexing and spambot empire she's had since 2016; it's sourced to a deadlink though. --Glodxin2 (talk) 12:54, 12 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 19 January 2019

Change Any reference of Kosovo to Kosovo ( province of The republic of Serbia) Even though they have claimed independence, Kosovo is not recognised internationally as a country Any reference to Kosovo must be changed Also any person born or residing on Kosovo prior to the claim of independence must be classified as Serbian as Dua Lipa was born in the village of Kosovo while it was under Serbian rule Miksyd (talk) 12:11, 19 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

​ Not done: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the {{edit semi-protected}} template. — Newslinger talk 13:46, 20 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Please explain how to obtain a consensus Kosovo is not part of the UN, EU, INTERPOL, or any other international body, 12 recognitions of independence have been withdrawn over the last year or so, These are all facts which need to be clearly stated on every page that has any reference to Kosovo. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.211.97.243 (talk) 20:01, 20 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

To obtain consensus, please see this page. Until then, please don't use this template --DannyS712 (talk) 22:04, 20 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Besides, contrary to what Miksyd said, Dua was actually born in London, despite her parents being from Kosovo. snapsnap (talk) 22:17, 20 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 6 March 2019

change "singer and songwriter" to "singer and pop star" in opening description, as both sources [6] and [7] are cited for this information, and both sources refer to her as such, not as a songwriter. She is also widely known as a popstar. Her eponymous LP released in 2017 has no solo writing credits, but she has gained wide pop success; this page misrepresents Dua Lipa as well as misrepresents the credible sources cited. Imnotascholar (talk) 18:36, 6 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done: The Guardian specifically says "singer-songwriter Dua" and the BBC interview says "Recorded and written? About 130 songs". The article is accurately representing the sources, nothing to be done here. NiciVampireHeart 04:17, 7 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Is she Muslim?

Dua Lipa was born to Albanian parents from Kosovo. Both these nations mostly adhere to Islam. 79.181.17.22 (talk) 14:42, 9 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

And here, her family and hers use the (Arabic) blessing "Eid Mubarak" to her (Muslim?) fans: https://twitter.com/dualipa/status/1007606780170526720 79.181.17.22 (talk) 14:51, 9 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
And here she is visiting a Mosque while wearing the Hijab: https://www.albawaba.com/entertainment/old-rules-dua-lipa-wears-hijab-and-conservative-clothes-inside-abu-dhabi-mosque-pictur 79.181.17.22 (talk) 14:53, 9 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Her parents may be Muslim and outwardly on certain things Lipa may do things associated with Islam like the use of terminology of wearing conservative clothing when visiting a mosque as a tourist, but her lifestyle is not in line with the teachings of Islam and nor has she stated is a Muslim.Resnjari (talk) 05:57, 10 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

What Happened to Her Modeling Career? Also Albanian-British Not English.

Before being just known as a singer/songwriter she had a brief modeling career which was formerly mentioned in the lead section of article page.

Unfortunately, it was completely undue and removed. The same happened to US actress Alicia Silverstone who was previously thought to be a model and environmentalist.

Is it a good idea to have her nationality being Albanian-British instead of English though she didn't originate from there. Fellow Warner Bros. artiste Bebe Rexha is an American born to Albanian parents. I repeat Albanian-British as in "Albanian-British singer songwriter and former model" for lead sentence.

Reply as soon as possible to this improvement.

Lights out,

Specfifically nationality and profession in leading sentence should be transposed from "English singer and songwriter" to "Albanian-British singer songwriter and former model" though she wasn't born as a native Albanian. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.81.163.178 (talk) 22:30, 3 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

As the hidden note in the lead section currently says, a person's ethnicity does not belong in the lead section per MOS:BLPLEAD, so "Albanian" should be omitted. Dua was born in England, so yes, she is English. I'm not sure about adding "former model" to the lead section. Personally I don't oppose it, but it's probably something that requires discussion. snapsnap (talk) 03:59, 4 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Early life: Dua Lipa was born in London (Not Westminster) as Westminster Hospital closed the year previously. Angloscott (talk) 17:52, 15 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Change The Years Active to 2013

Many thought that New Love was her debut song, but in actuality the first song she ever recorded was a cover of Rihanna's Stay at just 17 years old in her SoundClouds on 28 May 2013. Yes 17 years old!

After she released it, covers of Cocoa Butter Kisses, Smoke, Drink, and Breakup, and Here premiered on the dates of 14 October 2013 6 July 2014 and 17 June 2015 respectively. Modeling gig might've been occurring those times before signing up with Warner Bros.

So instead of the years of active being 2015, it should be changed into 2013-present. Link to Stay cover: 1

Cheers to the fall,

"Most streamed female album"

This is extremely strange wording. I don't understand how an album can be female. "Most streamed album by a woman artist" would surely be more correct. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:C7F:DC08:9000:488:95B6:1F16:5C5B (talk) 22:44, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
