I'm considering adding the categories "American multi-instrumentalists", "American rock pianists", "American organists" and "American rock keyboardists" (Potter's full list of instruments is already mentioned in the
Grace Potter and the Nocturnals article and the term "multi-instrumentalist" is already mentioned in this article) but then I know that this isn't just any article, but a
biography of a living person. However, I have no intention for this edits to be
controversial in any way, and personally, I don't see anything controversial about an artist's musicianship when the information is already mentioned in their articles and/or the articles for their associated acts. Having said that, I'm just gonna
WP:BOLDLY add these categories.--

Please change content so that it shows Potter's religious views. She's Christian, and I know this from the lyrics of songs like "Nothing but the Water" and "Big White Gate", and you can clearly hear in more than half the songs on the
Nothing but the Water and
This Is Somewhere albums, direct references to Christianity, if you have any knowledge of Abrahamic religions.

No. That is what is known as original research, where you take available information that is not explicit in the direction you are interested in, and you infer new information. For a biography, per
WP:BLP, you need to find citations that explicitly state the information that you want listed, known as verifiability. It does not matter what material the songs cover, so please find a news source or a biography that explicitly states Grace Potter is Christian and post the link to the source in the talk page, or we cannot add the information that you are requesting. Always glad to expand and improve and article, but within the rules framework set up by Wikipedia.
