Orphaned references in Christine and the Queens
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 Christine and the Queens'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 Lilly Wood and the Prick:  From British Phonographic Industry:  

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 ⚡ 15:36, 22 July 2016 (UTC)

New stage name
Hello.

I read on the French Web site Pure charts that she had changed her stage name in 2018. It was Christine and the Queens previously and it is CHRIST̶I̶N̶E̶ ̶A̶N̶D̶ ̶T̶H̶E̶ ̶Q̶U̶E̶E̶N̶S̶ now. On the images of the YouTube audios of her new single "Damn, tell me" (French version) and "Girlfriend" (English version), this is the same name. Others Web sites speak of a new stage name as "Chris".

4 new singles in 2018?
Hello,

According to the french web site Pure Charts, Damn, dis-moi / Girlfriend is the new single. But, 3 other songs are presented as singles : Doesn't Matter (voleur de soleil) / Doesn't Matter, 5 dollars and La marcheuse. Are they really all singles? 2 of thes esongs were sent to radio : Damn, dis-moi / Girlfriend and La marcheuse. Can we say that these two songs are singles? And can we say that Doesn't Matter (voleur de soleil) / Doesn't Matter and 5 dollars are promotional singles? Land and travel (talk) 08:14, 26 August 2018 (UTC)

Vie privée
En mars 2015, pour le magazine Terrafemina, elle se définit comme pansexuelle et affirme d'ailleurs à propos du milieu des clubs travestis londoniens qu'elle a fréquentés : Ces travestis sont devenus des amis, ils ont été ma source d'inspiration et de création. Ils m'ont donné l'idée de me créer un personnage, de m'inventer une autre silhouette, une autre manière d'évoluer dans l'espace. Christine, avant d'être un projet musical, a été ma solution pour exister correctement. Les Queens de « Christine and the Queens », c'est un hommage que je leur rends. Sans eux, je ne serais pas là aujourd'hui}}.

Private Life and Inspirations
In March 2015, Letissier told the fr::Terrafemina magazine that she defines herself as pansexual. She said of the London drag clubs: "These drag artists have become my friends, they've inspired my creativity. They gave me the idea of creating a character, inventing another silhouette, another way of being in this world. Before it was a musical project, Christine was for me the answer to how to live properly. The Queens in Christine and the Queens is my tribute to them. Without the queens, I wouldn't be here".

Page move
This page was moved from Christine and the Queens to Redcar (singer) because this is supposedly his new artist name. This was done hastily, without accounting for all the other articles still using the old name, and ignoring the fact that major sources still call his project Christine and the Queens as recently as a week ago, even when referring to the Redcar alias: "Christine and the Queens: Redcar les Adorables Étoiles review – clouds of sorrow from the artist’s new persona | Music | The Guardian" Artists use alternative aliases all the time, it is a stretch to say this is a change worthy of page moving just a week after this name change was first announced. Did we change Snoop Dogg to Snoop Lion, or Kanye to Ye? This is a totally improper move, and if the mover wants to attempt this move again, they should undertake the proper RM process rather than unilaterally moving the page.

 * @Criticalus I looked at it again and found that you didn't change the group name. Although it is now labeled as He. No need to move. Dušan Kreheľ (talk) 19:47, 23 November 2022 (UTC)
 * @Dušan Krehe I have reverted one of your recent edits, you are using improper English and also incorrect pronouns. Not in a gender sense, but in which pronoun to use. The possessive male pronoun is his, not him. Please use correct English when editing in mainspace.

Sex of the singer. 46XY or 46XX?
I am confused. I came on the page to find out the sex of the singer. 46XY or 46XX but this information was not available just gender. Wikipedia the fountain of knowledge is unable to provide the information. help.
