Talk:Katy Perry

Russell Brand

On his page he's called an English comedian, while on this page he's given the more generic title of 'british'. Given the difference in comedy style between the countries on the british isles, is it not better to refer to him as English rather than british, not to mention adhering to a standard. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.75.234.209 (talk) 23:35, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

Yes, it is like referring to an American citizen as 'North-American- (which is Canada and the USA). Allow the guy his national identity. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 113.88.15.51 (talk) 07:37, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

Edit request from 71.105.106.173, 12 May 2010

{{editsemiprotected}} Please change "The first single from the album is titled "California Gurls"." to "The first single from the album is titled "California Gurls" featuring Snoop Dogg" because he also performs on the recording. See this link for reference: http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1638865/20100511/story.jhtml 71.105.106.173 (talk) 13:02, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

 Declined "featuring Snoop Dogg" is not a part of the title, it's a performance credit.—Kww(talk) 13:25, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

Matt Thiessen

Katy Perry dated Matt Thiessen of Relient K. This should be added. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.188.54.207 (talk) 01:53, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

Not without a reliable source.—Kww(talk) 02:14, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

Lead section

The lead of this article doesnot encompass the whole body, this should be corrected as the article is a GA, and shouldn't fail on such a trivial thing. --Legolas ^(talk2me) 09:11, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

What should be added to the lead? Jim Michael (talk) 18:24, 26 May 2010 (UTC)

Avril Lavigne has recently become a GA so take a look at the lead of that. The lead paragraph should be a brief summary of the entire article. Zylo1994 (talk) 12:39, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

Edit request from Danmihai89, 5 July 2010

{{editsemiprotected}} I want to add the relationship status with Russell Brand in the Infobox. Danmihai89 (talk) 20:54, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

 Not done: There is no parameter for spouse in {{Infobox musical artist}}, much less fiancé or partner. —C.Fred (talk) 21:03, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

Some types of infobox have a spouse / partner field, others don't. This article uses the Musician infobox, which does not include such info. Brand's article uses the Comedian infobox, which does have said field, which is why she is in his infobox, but he is not in hers. I've never seen an explanation as to why the musician infobox is designed so that spouses / partners cannot be displayed in it. Jim Michael (talk) 16:51, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

Katy Perry On Glee

{{editsemiprotected}}

On July 7th, 2010 Glee Twitter Account, UltimateGleeks fulfilled the wish of Ms. Perry to have an official campaign for her to appear on the popular American Television show, "Glee." UltimateGleeks campaign is in the realm of the Betty White, SNL campaign which was very successful. As of now, there are nearly 800 fans that have shown official support for the cause. Per a little research, Perez Hilton, ET Canada, Columbia Records, Yahoo TV, MTV News, MTV Buzzworthy, & the official Glee UK account (UKGleeDVD) have all gotten behind the campaign as well. I think this is worth mentioning. Please include this in the article.

Katy Perry's 'California Gurls' is the fastest-rising single released by a Capitol Records artist in more than 40 years.

Edit request from 216.221.94.148, 14 July 2010

{{editsemiprotected}} the article contains the word "Learnt" which should read "Learned"

 Done Thanks! BOVINEBOY2008 20:16, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

Teenage Dream to have own page?!

the artworks out, the track listing has leaked, can we not have a page as sufficient information about the single and album has been sourced.

the single also deserves a page too!

It should have its own page. With two singles out and an official cover, tracklist, and release date it should have its own page. Here is a link for the official tracklist on Perry's official website: http://www.katyperry.com/teenage-dream-official-tracks-revealed/ —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.96.178.19 (talk) 15:11, 24 July 2010 (UTC)

GED test

The article states that Perry passed her GED test right after freshman year of high school. This is not possible; in order to take the GED test, you must be 17 1/2 or 18 years old already when you enroll for it. After ninth grade, she must have been only 14 or 15 years old (she is also born later in the year, in late October). Perhaps it can be clarified? Maybe she took it later, after leaving the school. Like her, I left high school at 15, after my first year, and that has only been a couple years (I'm considerably younger than Perry). I was told by numerous sources GED tests aren't available until you're at least 17 and some months. ★Dasani★ 02:34, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

It varies from state to state, and most states that have age limits also have waivers.—Kww(talk) 03:20, 29 July 2010 (UTC)
