What about her father?
No information about him? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:16B8:C111:4700:E4B4:292A:FFE9:B9F3 (talk) 20:03, 22 January 2021 (UTC)

Birth date
Regarding your removal of her birth date, are you aware that tweets by an article subject can be used for uncontroversial description of themselves (see WP:SPSSELF and WP:BLPSELFPUB)? In light of that, do you (or anyone else) have any objection to me re-adding her birth date? (For reference, this is the tweet in question. There is also a similar birthday Instagram post from a year later.) Thanks. GreenComputer (talk) 18:11, 24 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I have no objection. I just don't see a tweet being RS. Lettlerhello • contribs 19:27, 24 January 2021 (UTC)
 * In most cases, a tweet isn't a RS. However, tweets by a person can be used as a source for uncontroversial information that is only about themself as long as the conditions listed at WP:SPSSELF are met. GreenComputer (talk) 03:50, 25 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Well, there's Biographies_of_living_persons to consider. She made those posts when she had a much smaller public profile. I'd lean toward not publishing it here unless we have a third-party RS, or it's more clear that she doesn't mind it being here in the context of recent notoriety. The longer we retain it here, the more likely it is that it will be propagated to third-party sources via Circular reporting. OhNo itsJamie  Talk 17:07, 25 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Fair point. I've gone ahead and removed it for now. GreenComputer (talk) 01:23, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

Education
Hi, the name of the K-12 school she attended is listed as Crossroads when you Google her, but once you click on the full Wikipedia page, it says New Roads School, which is the correct school. Does anyone know how to fix that? Or is that a Google issue rather than Wikipedia? Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Linmanrique (talk • contribs) 18:15, 28 January 2021 (UTC)

"black" and "black Catholic" are not proper nouns
See the article black Catholicism -- "black Catholic" is an adjective-noun phrase and not a proper noun. It's generic. Elizium23 (talk) 03:09, 30 January 2021 (UTC)


 * You yourself uncapitalized the references on that page, despite the page's original capitalizations and the majority of books, articles, and dissertations on the topic capitalizing both words. natemup (talk) 04:29, 30 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I follow the WP:MOS, and you just edit-war. Elizium23 (talk) 05:01, 30 January 2021 (UTC)

Updating photo - with one from inauguration?
I don’t know how to do this, so hope someone here can help. I noted that on the Lady Gaga page, her photo has been updated as a cropped image from inauguration, coming from public domain government photographer Flickr feed (Office of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff for Public Affairs)

That feed has pics of other speakers and performers like Amanda Gorman. Could someone here help update Amanda picture to this one or something similar? I’m online from an iPad and my editing abilities are very limited. DrMel (talk) 16:59, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
