 * Red information icon with gradient background.svg Not done: six decades is right. M.Bitton (talk) 15:22, 22 October 2023 (UTC)
 * It says a six-decade solo career, and a number-one single on a Billboard chart in seven consecutive decades. 2600:8802:571B:E00:4DDF:2F50:5E62:9975 (talk) 17:22, 23 January 2024 (UTC)

Oldest achievements in the UK
Perhaps someone can add that Cher holds 2 records in the UK. In 1998, aged 52, she became the oldest woman to reach #1 on the UK top 40 with "Believe". In 2023, aged 77, she became the oldest woman to have a top 20 hit with "DJ Play a Christmas Song". It also gave her the longest chart span (7 decades) of any artist in the UK. "Cher becomes the first solo artist to achieve a Top 40 hit with new material on the Official Singles Chart across seven consecutive decades. While Cher's UK chart debut originally came in the form of Sonny & Cher’s chart-topping duet I Got You Babe in 1965, her debut solo single All I Really Want To Do broke the UK Top 40 the same month, and Cher has gone on to chart a solo single of new material in the Top 40 in every decade since." https://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/cher-chart-record-dj-play-christmas-song/ 2A02:8309:2183:7800:D1AB:5A74:3073:6C7D (talk) 14:36, 1 January 2024 (UTC)

Giving birth to Chaz
Cher did not give birth to Chaz Bono. She gave birth to Chastity, a girl. Chastity's choices later in life do not change her birth gender. I believe the proper reference to any changes is "Cher gave birth to Chastity Bono (now Chaz Bono). 2600:1009:B006:7232:0:47:8830:E301 (talk) 16:07, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
 * We are not engaging in conjecture about the difference between recorded "birth gender" and subjective gender. But I added the birth name of Chastity to complete your request. Binksternet (talk) 19:57, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Per MOS:GIDINFO Chaz Bono's birth name is not appropriate here. Removed. PianoDan (talk) 00:06, 28 February 2024 (UTC)

I request an edit be made right after this sentence: "her mother, Georgia Holt (born Jackie Jean Crouch), was a former model and retired actress who claimed Irish, English, German, and Cherokee ancestry.[2][3]"

The edit should go as follows:

"However, Cher does not in fact have Cherokee ancestry and has disavowed her previous claim." Here is a source. https://dnaconsultants.com/cher-the-half-breed/ Alexis Rouleau (talk) 22:13, 12 February 2024 (UTC)

Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. I'm not sure this website meets the bar for a reliable source. PianoDan (talk) 00:07, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
