"JoJo"[edit]

Please add "Federica" between Joanie and Siwa. Basteperk (talk) 23:26, 10 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

No, please review WP:NICKNAME which your suggestion would violate. - FlightTime (open channel) 17:27, 25 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Federica is not her second middle name. It’s only her first and only middle name which is joanie. Rosiedanugbtugn (talk) 19:23, 8 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Suggested Edit[edit]

Jojo now has two books published but it's stated in the "merchandise" section she only has one. The New Book is called 'Jojo Siwa things I love fill in book' and the original book is called 'Jojo's Guide to the sweet life'

Labeling of sexuality[edit]

While I understand that saying that JoJo "came out as a member of the LGBTQ community" could be considered a bit lengthy and confusing, using that statement (or something along the lines of it) seems the most appropriate to me because she doesn't have a specific label yet. Her cousin getting her a shirt that says "Best. Gay. Cousin. Ever." doesn't mean that "gay" is the label that she uses, so I think saying she came out as gay is a bit inappropriate considering her statement about her label. If there's anything I'm wrong about here, please feel free to correct me, but this is just what I think. Redandsymmetry (talk) 01:45, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I tried to explain that but they wouldn’t listen. Trillfendi (talk) 01:53, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Does this person identify as male? Or was born male but now identifies as female? I never heard of this person but read the CNN article. https://www.cnn.com/2021/01/23/us/jojo-siwa-coming-out-trnd/index.html I then came to Wikipedia but I'm not sure what is the true story. Answers please or fix article to say what is happening. Vowvo (talk) 22:41, 24 January 2021 (UTC) Both the CNN and the Wikipedia are terrible articles — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.222.180.90 (talk) 19:48, 11 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Ohnoitsjamie: Please add back in the edit you reverted that was made on August 15, 2022 15:53 regarding the detail that Siwa doesn't particularly like the word "lesbian" which caused some controversy. The revert notes that it's because the source is not reliable. The author of the cited source has a masters degree in journalism from Columbia University (author's bio: https://12past12.com/author/10076). The source is reliable. --SurgeIncorporated (talk) 20:21, 15 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No. Please read WP:RS; whether a site is reliable isn't a function of the academic qualifications of the author. You need stronger sourcing than that as to whether Jiwa stating she doesn't like the word "caused controversey." See also WP:RSP for a examples of sources that are considered to be reliable (or not).

Photo update[edit]

I feel like we need a copyright free image of JoJo Siwa that is more recent in 2022. This current one is almost 5 years old. Techoliver298 (talk) 20:38, 30 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of controversy section[edit]

I am still upset at the removal of the controversy segment PontiacAurora (talk) 03:06, 12 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Most of the content I restored. Are you still upset about the removal of the fake pregnancy content? starship .paint (exalt) 05:10, 12 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sexuality label update[edit]

Perhaps we should update the category labels for Siwa's sexuality? If she's said that she's not attracted to men, that would suggest she doesn't identify as pansexual anymore. Beggarsbanquet (talk) 07:51, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

We would need sources to support any changes to the article. Primefac (talk) 07:53, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There is already a statement and source linked in the article at the end of the relevant section that establishes that. Beggarsbanquet (talk) 08:02, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Siwa's pre-2024 singles being reclassified as "promotional"[edit]

I don't agree with the reclassification of the singles from earlier in Siwa's career, while she was a Nickelodeon star, as "promotional" merely because she's trying to change up her image now, so I have reverted this change. I'm not aware of any credible music source describing "Karma" as her first or debut single or that it's even been serviced to US radio, which for a lot of Wikipedia editors seems to be the only thing that makes a song a proper commercial single. (I'm also unsure if "Boomerang" or any other songs were serviced to kids' radio in the US.) "Boomerang" and the others have been pretty comfortably labelled singles for years now. Ss112 05:24, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Did the DREAM tour ever happen?[edit]

It only gets discussed in future tense, as if it were cancelled. This needs to be fixed.

In 2018, Siwa announced that she would be going on her first major concert tour in 2019, entitled D.R.E.A.M. The Tour. She was scheduled to visit a mixture of theaters, outdoor amphitheaters and stadiums, as well as indoor arenas in a total of 52 cities across the United States and Canada. Additionally, other performances would take place in the United Kingdom and Australia. The tour was scheduled to begin in Phoenix, Arizona on May 17. The first leg of the tour was scheduled to conclude on June 26 in Austin, Texas, before resuming for the second leg on July 10 in Orlando, Florida. The final date was scheduled for August 20 in Vancouver, Canada.

174.160.34.16 (talk) 15:21, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I personally see nothing wrong with the paragraph as stated; she announced plans and dates and we have a source to support that. If there are no sources that say it happened, and no sources that say it didn't happen, then it is still an accurate paragraph. Primefac (talk) 15:40, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Jojo Siwa has stated that her new outfit (2024) is inspired by the KISS band Squidical2222 (talk) 20:13, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. Myrealnamm (💬talk · ✏️contribs) at 20:38, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
