The article says "Throughout 2011, Ora released viral videos of herself working on her debut album" One can not release an viral video. The Video is released and then it becomes viral The Sentences should , in be changed to. "Throughout 2011,Ora released videos of herself working on her debut album, these videos became viral" — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bpb101 ( talk • contribs) 21:26, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
She is ethnic Albanian(Kosovar),her nationality is British.And by the way,how can she be with British origin if she is to ethnic Albanian parents?That is absurd!She is Kosovar/British for sake!What do Wikipedia workers have against Albanians?!?!?
There is no need to translate her name in Serbian because her origin is not Serbian and not either jugoslavian. She is an Kosovo-Albanian origin singer and she had no career in Serbia! Its like translating the name of Marija Serifovic (serbian singer) in albanian when she never ever had any albanian career. So try to be more neutral about this is my message for you...... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mergiiiii ( talk • contribs) 16:01, 17 December 2011 (UTC)
Why the need to complicate things? She has no relation to Serbian people and has no knowledge of them. She is an ethnic Albanian born in Kosovo. Kosovo is an independent country and is the only country she ever mentions including Albania. Novak Djokovic in fact was born in Kosovo but is of Serbian origin, does he also have to have an Albanian translation of his name? It is completely ridiculous and insignificant. People are confused about her ethnicity as it is.
can we please re-instate her ethnic background to the article

A brief message to Zvuqniki here: I personally write Priština this way because I always have done. Olsi when writing in English writes Peja for the western Kosovan city, but we only do this in talk. Nobody suggested amending the present spelling, how we refer to it in talk and on the articles is different. Likewise you may write Prishtina, Kosova even if writing in English. "Pristina" is not the international format, it is merely the Serbian spelling minus diacritic not found anywhere except where diacritics are left out from the outset. However, it happens to be the Wikipedia preferred spelling and this is why it is to be used as such in articles and editors are wholly justified in amending both Priština and Prishtina to Pristina wherever the word is being used for contemporary purposes. This is a little off-topic and I was just assuring you that you have nothing to worry about. Thanks for raising the issue. I hope that now this talk can be concluded with the editing sanction lifted.

The title "Albi" is completely FAKE. It wasn't confirmed by Rita, Roc Nation or any producer envolved. It was used by some fans on web. Please, somebody change it as soon as you can. -- SupremoJunior ( talk) 02:02, 11 April 2012 (UTC)
Since there are two sources, one for Pristina and the other for Shkodër, there is conflict. The Shkodër link is in Albanian and refers to the subject's grandparents. Pristina in turn constitutes the birthplace. I propose that we introduce a section into the main text citing the family origin in Shkodër and use the source, and then move the Pristina source one place above onto the birthplace section and to avoid a duplicate, we remove the "origin" section from the infobox because at this point it would be superfluous. Evlekis (Евлекис) ( argue) 07:05, 26 March 2012 (UTC)
Olsi has been notified here, and Durresary here. Evlekis (Евлекис) ( argue) 11:53, 26 March 2012 (UTC)
Durresary posted this comment at Zvuqniki's talk page which is fair enough, I think we can all conclude that the origin if anything would be Priština, that ancestry is not important, that the Shkodër connection has proven weak and mostly that the "origin" segment need not be included. Five accounts agree with this versus nobody now pushing for the opposite. Evlekis (Евлекис) ( argue) 19:55, 26 March 2012 (UTC)
Many people are born in one place, and brought-up in another. In Rita's case, she was born in Pristina and raised in London. This should be reflected in the infobox: the "Born" section should read her birthplace Pristina, and the "Origin" section should read London where she was brought-up. This is the standard format for anyone who was born in one place but brought-up in another. There's countless examples for precedent on Wikipedia. High profile example? Kanye West was born in Atlanta, but moved to Chicago at the age of 3 and grew up there. He self-identifies as a Chicagoan. His info is "born: Atlanta" and "origin: Chicago". Gloria Estefan was born in Havana, but moved to Miami at the age of 2 and grew up there. She self-identifies as a Miamian. Her info is "born: Havana" and "origin: Miami". In the case of Rita Ora, she moved to London before her first birthday and has lived there ever since. She self identifies as a Londoner, as exhibited in this monologue: "I was born in Kosovo, but I grew up in West London. I'm definitely a London girl, and represent the UK, but will always have Kosovo in my heart." [1] As is the case with other articles, her origin should read Ladbroke Grove, London, England (or just London, United Kingdom), to reflect where she was actually brought-up. Southlondoneye ( talk) 15:19, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
The origin dispute has transformed and is now a battle of two possibilities: origin removed entirely vs West London. Let's use this section to discuss this. I don't mind either, but the template does clarify that origin implies artistic roots and not family background; for that, I offer weak support for West London. Evlekis (Евлекис) ( argue) 04:26, 13 April 2012 (UTC)
I still declare neutrality here. But surely, if there be more than one origin, can't we list each one? Evlekis (Евлекис) ( argue) 15:18, 13 April 2012 (UTC)
Sorry I cannot comment on Rihanna, just checked the article and all I can see is thick round thighs, they're still in my head! Too distracted to look at the information under her thighs!!!! Perhaps someone else can! ;) Evlekis (Евлекис) ( argue) 15:24, 13 April 2012 (UTC)
Yep origin London is correct. In terms of birth, i've added (present day Kosovo) as that covers her birthplace. Tx rnel ( talk) 18:25, 13 April 2012 (UTC)
{{Request edit}}
Can anybody please check the sources of her influences for me? I already watched the videos but and I didn't listen all those people being mentioned, but I'm not that good in English so maybe I didn't listen well. I just don't want to remove anything important.--

Rita Ora was born in Kosovo to Kosovo-Albanian parents from Prishtina. She moved to West London with the family prior to the war which broke out when she was one; as a result she has adapted to many of 'British' ways, her main influence is Gwen Stefani which is also evident in her appearance. Although, she is a London girl, she is also a very traditional Albanian girl at heart. This is seen in a number of her interviews: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FL4vtG0EfZs In this interview Rita also mentions that she is from, Albania, Kosovo from a little city called Prishtina. Like many Albanians, Rita also likes to say that Kosovo and Albania are one nation due to Kosovo's population being over 90% Albanian despite the political status of the two countries. In this interview Rita speaks Albanian - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1E_HzjuGyps — Preceding unsigned comment added by Durresaryl1 ( talk • contribs) 16:42, 18 March 2012

This is a most disgusting attempt at stealing an artists culture and identity to make them part of your own. If you google her the wikipedia info that displays on the side only states she is a british songwriter and her nationality is english..her nationality is Albanian by origin and birth ..british would only come from one way ( her being naturazilized) and that being the case it should say Albanian-british.

Can the intro of the article be like that: Rita Sahatçiu Ora (Serbian: Рита Сахачију Ора/Rita Sahačiju Ora; born 26 November 1990) is a Yugoslavian-born British singer-songwriter and actress of Albanian descent. (As she was born in Yugoslavia to Albanian parents.) 178.235.183.165 ( talk) 13:54, 4 June 2013 (UTC)
It's quite sad how may serbians and macedonian roma (like Evlekis) do their utmost to stick the word "serb" or "serbian" in an article about a woman, who proudly declares herself a Kosovan. Records a video flying the flag of Kosovo, and on numerous occasions speaks out about her true origins. Which have nothing to do with the serbs, who are now desperately clamouring to attribute a slice of her fame and success to their culture. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.18.250.240 ( talk) 00:37, 16 June 2013 (UTC)
Can the user Captainmad please stop putting Jay-Z as an "associated act" for Rita Ora? An AA refers to a person or a band you do a music colab with (meaning a song or an album). It has nothing to do with business relationships. Jay-Z is an AA for Rihanna because of "Umbrella" and "Run this town", not because she's under Roc Nation management. Until Jay-Z & Rita Ora do a colab, he's just her boss, not an AA. Izzu11 ( talk) 12:01, 4 August 2013 (UTC)
I agree with you up to one point. Yes, they done a single song together, but the notability of that song should be taken into consideration too. On that template it says "significant and notable to this artist's career." "Hot right now" (with Fresh) gave Ora her first ever #1 and "RIP" (with Tinie) was her first #1 as a lead artist and her second #1 all together. It's these 2 colabs that actually put Ora "on the map", not the fact that she was signed to Jay's label. Eventually, I could remove Snoop & Koke from the AA list, as "Torn Apart" is more notable for having Snoop on it than for anything else and "Lay down your weapons" is more relevant for Koke's career than for Ora's. As for Jay-Z, he's not even a manager/producer for Ora, he's just the boss of her label. Basically, other than giving her some music advices and the final "OK" on her music projects, he does nothing else. It's Ty Ty Smith (Jay's partner on Roc Nation) who takes care of business when it comes to Ora's music. Izzu11 ( talk) 14:05, 4 August 2013 (UTC)
ORA only spawned 2 number-one singles, not 3. Rita got credit for Hot Right Now as well, but it's DJ Fresh's song. It's not a part of ORA, it's just a bonus track on it. Also, R.I.P. was her first single from ORA only in UK. The first single from the album to be released anywhere on this planet was How We Do. That A&R who told Roc Nation about Rita was Sarah, her manager from Turn First Artists. She told them about Rita, Rita sent Roc Nation some demos and about a week later Jay Brown called her and asked her to fly to NY, where she was signed to Roc Nation. That's how I know the story. If anybody got a better or more accurate version, feel free to speak up. The only video that she posted on Youtube during the making of her album and that can be called viral is this one. It's the one who eventually got her the part on Hot Right Now, that's why I left it in the article. The other ones were indeed popular with her fans, but at 200.000 views in like 2 years, I wouldn't exactly call them "viral". Izzu11 ( talk) 21:55, 15 August 2013 (UTC)
Rita was born in Kosovo, wouldn't that make her Kosovan-born, I would understand it saying Serbian-born instead since some countries recognize Kosovo as being apart of Serbia, but Kosovo wasn't apart of Albania to my knowledge, its just that they speak Albanian there and she has Albanian ancestry.

On her location on where she grew up it says she grew up near Portobello Road. although correct to be more specific she grew up in Ladbroke Grove, West London which is just down the road from the Portobello market. she has also stated this many times herself.

I always go to a website named Healthy Celeb to see how celebrities (either famous or non-famous) look. Every time I search her up on it, the Kosovo flag is under the Nationality section instead of the UK flag.
That should be changed because she is fully British. No one wants to see a Ukraine flag on Mila Kunis page since she is completely American.

The use of images in this article is very poor, which I struggle to understand given that there are multiple, high quality images of Ora in the Wikimedia Commons. The current lead image is horrible, you can barely make out any of Ora's physical characteristics. As a descriptive image of her it flunks. I changed the lead image and added a couple more from the commons, but @ Helptottt: came in and immediately reverted it, for unclear reasons. These are readily available images of Ora plucked from the commons that would greatly enhance this article and I think should be included in some capacity.

Just saw this, this and this. Because the bisexual topic will keep coming up, it's clear that this matter needs to be discussed here on the talk page. The edit by Afddiary looks decent, except for this source, which seems like a poor source. Are sources stating that Ora came out as bisexual when she didn't? Are any WP:Reliable sources stating that she came out as bisexual, but the reality is that she didn't say she's bisexual? In a similar case, as seen at Talk:Jodie Foster/Archive 4, there was a lot of debate about how to describe Foster's sexuality and what categories to use for her in the Jodie Foster article. I'll alert WP:LGBT to this Ora matter in case anyone there wants to weigh in on it. Flyer22 Reborn ( talk) 05:46, 6 January 2019 (UTC)
And to respond to Helptottt's revert here, yes, just like many other biography articles where the person's sexuality is included, her sexuality does belong in this article. That is, as long as it's relevant enough to mention because of its coverage in WP:Reliable sources. Flyer22 Reborn ( talk) 05:58, 6 January 2019 (UTC)
All references to Rita Ora's sexuality (which, as many sources seem to suggest, is some variation of non-heterosexual) have been removed from the article, including from her categories. I think this is inappropriate. I agree with Flyer22 Reborn that her sexuality DOES belong in the article in some way, shape, or form because it is relevant to her personal life. Maybe it does not need to be a category (although I would argue that it should be one), but it absolutely should be referenced somehow. The article for Ariana Grande should be used as inspiration - putting the discussion about it out there without forcing a personally unclaimed label onto her. Afddiary ( talk) 12:22, 21 May 2019 (UTC)
For ease of access, this is what Ariana's article currently says about her sexuality: "In April 2019, following the release of a song titled "Monopoly" with Victoria Monét, Grande revealed that she does not label her sexuality, stating "I haven't before and still don't feel the need to now" amidst rumors of bisexuality after lyrics referencing her liking both women and men." Afddiary ( talk) 12:23, 21 May 2019 (UTC)
TrynaMakeADollar added some material with this edit. I also see that Helptottt reverted bisexual material again, but that Helptottt was reverted by Launchballer. And regarding this? I reverted because, like I stated, people don't belong in those categories. Flyer22 Frozen ( talk) 03:02, 8 April 2020 (UTC)
Her sexuality may be non-heterosexual, but perhaps Ora doesn't want to be defined by her sexuality because she never actually said that she was bisexual and how she chooses to label herself is the most important thing here. It's absurd that some editors are trying to dictate how she should be labelled. Also, the added quote where Ora says how she was "experimental in her late teens" frankly suggests a more bi-curious situation. Putting the quote into context, it was kind of an "explanation" of the lyrics of that song, "Girls", that she released. The added references aren't from a tabloid, but those articles basically present their own interpretations (and labels) of what she said. LGBT categories should stay, but adding how she "came out as bisexual" is not true and shouldn't be in the article. -- Helptottt ( talk) 19:46, 19 April 2020 (UTC)

Please add following text at end of section on album Phoenix: Rita recorded 2 songs with Prince between 2013 and summer of 2014 that were originally slated for her second album, which later became known as Phoenix: "Ain't About To Stop" ( [2]) and "The Single Most Amazing" ( [3]). Phoenix was postponed from September 2014 until November 2018, after Prince's death, and those tracks were ultimately not included. Prince released a version of "Ain't About To Stop" on his own 38th studio album Hitnrun Phase One in 2015 that still included backing vocals by Rita. "The Single Most Amazing" remains unreleased.

Ora's performance at this event doesn't seem notable enough to be added to the article, it wasn't even televised! An editor that added it mentioned a connection to Taika Waititi, since he introduced her before the performance. Since Ora and Waititi will co-host the MTV Europe Music Awards this month, I suggest we add the information about them co-hosting the EMAs instead of the rugby event.

Many edits referring to marriage to Taika Waititi have been reverted, mostly by User:Helptottt.
Rita is orriginally from Kossivo. The marriage is now routinely being reported as fact by New Zealand's main newspapers, Stuff and The New Zealand Herald. Both are "reliable sources" for Wikipedia, with professional fact-checking standards.
The most recent example describes her as Adopted “New Zealander” British pop star Rita Ora (who is married to Kiwi film-maker Taika Waititi). [1]
I formally propose that the married status be accepted by Wikipedia. All users, please comment here on whether you *support* or *oppose* the change. Please give citations if you can. Unless there is consensus *not* to accept the marriage, i will add it as fact to Rita Ora and Taika Waititi after 16 October 2022. Somej ( talk) 00:23, 9 October 2022 (UTC)
Hi, I'm aware that the marriage story is reported by the NZ media. However, they are reporting it in their entertainment section and are going by what the rumor is. According to the story, the marriage happened in the UK, so it's unusual that we would take the NZ media as the confirmation.
The point is, there hasn't been a solid confirmation. More importantly, the two supposedly married people haven't confirmed it. Until they do, it shouldn't be in the article. The Taika Waititi article completely leaves out this marriage information, so why the insistence for it to be added here? Helptottt ( talk) 17:22, 21 October 2022 (UTC)

Is the marriage claim reliably sourced with the People article? Shouldn't we take into account that neither Ora or Waititi confirmed this rumour? On Waititi's article, the marriage addition got removed for WP:BLPGOSSIP.

There is no need to translate her name in Serbian because her origin is not Serbian and not either jugoslavian. She is an Kosovo-Albanian origin singer and she had no career in Serbia!

Why the need to complicate things? She has no relation to Serbian people and has no knowledge of them. She is an ethnic Albanian born in Kosovo. Kosovo is an independent country and is the only country she ever mentions including Albania. Novak Djokovic in fact was born in Kosovo but is of Serbian origin, does he also have to have an Albanian translation of his name? It is completely ridiculous and insignificant.

A brief message to Zvuqniki here: I personally write Priština this way because I always have done. Olsi when writing in English writes Peja for the western Kosovan city, but we only do this in talk. Nobody suggested amending the present spelling, how we refer to it in talk and on the articles is different. Likewise you may write Prishtina, Kosova even if writing in English. "Pristina" is not the international format, it is merely the Serbian spelling minus diacritic not found anywhere except where diacritics are left out from the outset. However, it happens to be the Wikipedia preferred spelling and this is why it is to be used as such in articles and editors are wholly justified in amending both Priština and Prishtina to Pristina wherever the word is being used for contemporary purposes. This is a little off-topic and I was just assuring you that you have nothing to worry about. Thanks for raising the issue. I hope that now this talk can be concluded with the editing sanction lifted.

Since there are two sources, one for Pristina and the other for Shkodër, there is conflict. The Shkodër link is in Albanian and refers to the subject's grandparents. Pristina in turn constitutes the birthplace. I propose that we introduce a section into the main text citing the family origin in Shkodër and use the source, and then move the Pristina source one place above onto the birthplace section and to avoid a duplicate, we remove the "origin" section from the infobox because at this point it would be superfluous. Evlekis (Евлекис) ( argue) 07:05, 26 March 2012 (UTC)
Olsi has been notified here, and Durresary here. Evlekis (Евлекис) ( argue) 11:53, 26 March 2012 (UTC)
Durresary posted this comment at Zvuqniki's talk page which is fair enough, I think we can all conclude that the origin if anything would be Priština, that ancestry is not important, that the Shkodër connection has proven weak and mostly that the "origin" segment need not be included. Five accounts agree with this versus nobody now pushing for the opposite. Evlekis (Евлекис) ( argue) 19:55, 26 March 2012 (UTC)
Many people are born in one place, and brought-up in another. In Rita's case, she was born in Pristina and raised in London. This should be reflected in the infobox: the "Born" section should read her birthplace Pristina, and the "Origin" section should read London where she was brought-up. This is the standard format for anyone who was born in one place but brought-up in another. There's countless examples for precedent on Wikipedia. High profile example? Kanye West was born in Atlanta, but moved to Chicago at the age of 3 and grew up there. He self-identifies as a Chicagoan. His info is "born: Atlanta" and "origin: Chicago". Gloria Estefan was born in Havana, but moved to Miami at the age of 2 and grew up there. She self-identifies as a Miamian. Her info is "born: Havana" and "origin: Miami". In the case of Rita Ora, she moved to London before her first birthday and has lived there ever since. She self identifies as a Londoner, as exhibited in this monologue: "I was born in Kosovo, but I grew up in West London. I'm definitely a London girl, and represent the UK, but will always have Kosovo in my heart." [1] As is the case with other articles, her origin should read Ladbroke Grove, London, England (or just London, United Kingdom), to reflect where she was actually brought-up. Southlondoneye ( talk) 15:19, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
The origin dispute has transformed and is now a battle of two possibilities: origin removed entirely vs West London. Let's use this section to discuss this. I don't mind either, but the template does clarify that origin implies artistic roots and not family background; for that, I offer weak support for West London. Evlekis (Евлекис) ( argue) 04:26, 13 April 2012 (UTC)
I still declare neutrality here. But surely, if there be more than one origin, can't we list each one? Evlekis (Евлекис) ( argue) 15:18, 13 April 2012 (UTC)
Sorry I cannot comment on Rihanna, just checked the article and all I can see is thick round thighs, they're still in my head! Too distracted to look at the information under her thighs!!!! Perhaps someone else can! ;) Evlekis (Евлекис) ( argue) 15:24, 13 April 2012 (UTC)

Rita childhood was tough. Her mom was a single mother of three, and they struggle to survive. As she grew up she help her mother in the struggles. Rita became a stripper (exotic dancer).

Rita Ora was born in Kosovo to Kosovo-Albanian parents from Prishtina. She moved to West London with the family prior to the war which broke out when she was one; as a result she has adapted to many of 'British' ways, her main influence is Gwen Stefani which is also evident in her appearance. Although, she is a London girl, she is also a very traditional Albanian girl at heart. This is seen in a number of her interviews: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FL4vtG0EfZs In this interview Rita also mentions that she is from, Albania, Kosovo from a little city called Prishtina. Like many Albanians, Rita also likes to say that Kosovo and Albania are one nation due to Kosovo's population being over 90% Albanian despite the political status of the two countries.

Can the intro of the article be like that: Rita Sahatçiu Ora (Serbian: Рита Сахачију Ора/Rita Sahačiju Ora; born 26 November 1990) is a Yugoslavian-born British singer-songwriter and actress of Albanian descent.

It's quite sad how may serbians and macedonian roma (like Evlekis) do their utmost to stick the word "serb" or "serbian" in an article about a woman, who proudly declares herself a Kosovan. Records a video flying the flag of Kosovo, and on numerous occasions speaks out about her true origins. Which have nothing to do with the serbs, who are now desperately clamouring to attribute a slice of her fame and success to their culture. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.18.250.240 ( talk) 00:37, 16 June 2013 (UTC)
Can the user Captainmad please stop putting Jay-Z as an "associated act" for Rita Ora? An AA refers to a person or a band you do a music colab with (meaning a song or an album). It has nothing to do with business relationships. Jay-Z is an AA for Rihanna because of "Umbrella" and "Run this town", not because she's under Roc Nation management. Until Jay-Z & Rita Ora do a colab, he's just her boss, not an AA. Izzu11 ( talk) 12:01, 4 August 2013 (UTC)
I agree with you up to one point. Yes, they done a single song together, but the notability of that song should be taken into consideration too. On that template it says "significant and notable to this artist's career." "Hot right now" (with Fresh) gave Ora her first ever #1 and "RIP" (with Tinie) was her first #1 as a lead artist and her second #1 all together. It's these 2 colabs that actually put Ora "on the map", not the fact that she was signed to Jay's label. Eventually, I could remove Snoop & Koke from the AA list, as "Torn Apart" is more notable for having Snoop on it than for anything else and "Lay down your weapons" is more relevant for Koke's career than for Ora's. As for Jay-Z, he's not even a manager/producer for Ora, he's just the boss of her label. Basically, other than giving her some music advices and the final "OK" on her music projects, he does nothing else. It's Ty Ty Smith (Jay's partner on Roc Nation) who takes care of business when it comes to Ora's music. Izzu11 ( talk) 14:05, 4 August 2013 (UTC)
ORA only spawned 2 number-one singles, not 3. Rita got credit for Hot Right Now as well, but it's DJ Fresh's song. It's not a part of ORA, it's just a bonus track on it. Also, R.I.P. was her first single from ORA only in UK. The first single from the album to be released anywhere on this planet was How We Do. That A&R who told Roc Nation about Rita was Sarah, her manager from Turn First Artists. She told them about Rita, Rita sent Roc Nation some demos and about a week later Jay Brown called her and asked her to fly to NY, where she was signed to Roc Nation. That's how I know the story. If anybody got a better or more accurate version, feel free to speak up. The only video that she posted on Youtube during the making of her album and that can be called viral is this one. It's the one who eventually got her the part on Hot Right Now, that's why I left it in the article. The other ones were indeed popular with her fans, but at 200.000 views in like 2 years, I wouldn't exactly call them "viral". Izzu11 ( talk) 21:55, 15 August 2013 (UTC)
Rita was born in Kosovo, wouldn't that make her Kosovan-born, I would understand it saying Serbian-born instead since some countries recognize Kosovo as being apart of Serbia, but Kosovo wasn't apart of Albania to my knowledge, its just that they speak Albanian there and she has Albanian ancestry.

The use of images in this article is very poor, which I struggle to understand given that there are multiple, high quality images of Ora in the Wikimedia Commons. The current lead image is horrible, you can barely make out any of Ora's physical characteristics. As a descriptive image of her it flunks. I changed the lead image and added a couple more from the commons, but @ Helptottt: came in and immediately reverted it, for unclear reasons. These are readily available images of Ora plucked from the commons that would greatly enhance this article and I think should be included in some capacity.

Just saw this, this and this. Because the bisexual topic will keep coming up, it's clear that this matter needs to be discussed here on the talk page. The edit by Afddiary looks decent, except for this source, which seems like a poor source. Are sources stating that Ora came out as bisexual when she didn't? Are any WP:Reliable sources stating that she came out as bisexual, but the reality is that she didn't say she's bisexual? In a similar case, as seen at Talk:Jodie Foster/Archive 4, there was a lot of debate about how to describe Foster's sexuality and what categories to use for her in the Jodie Foster article. I'll alert WP:LGBT to this Ora matter in case anyone there wants to weigh in on it. Flyer22 Reborn ( talk) 05:46, 6 January 2019 (UTC)
And to respond to Helptottt's revert here, yes, just like many other biography articles where the person's sexuality is included, her sexuality does belong in this article. That is, as long as it's relevant enough to mention because of its coverage in WP:Reliable sources. Flyer22 Reborn ( talk) 05:58, 6 January 2019 (UTC)
All references to Rita Ora's sexuality (which, as many sources seem to suggest, is some variation of non-heterosexual) have been removed from the article, including from her categories. I think this is inappropriate. I agree with Flyer22 Reborn that her sexuality DOES belong in the article in some way, shape, or form because it is relevant to her personal life. Maybe it does not need to be a category (although I would argue that it should be one), but it absolutely should be referenced somehow. The article for Ariana Grande should be used as inspiration - putting the discussion about it out there without forcing a personally unclaimed label onto her. Afddiary ( talk) 12:22, 21 May 2019 (UTC)
For ease of access, this is what Ariana's article currently says about her sexuality: "In April 2019, following the release of a song titled "Monopoly" with Victoria Monét, Grande revealed that she does not label her sexuality, stating "I haven't before and still don't feel the need to now" amidst rumors of bisexuality after lyrics referencing her liking both women and men." Afddiary ( talk) 12:23, 21 May 2019 (UTC)
TrynaMakeADollar added some material with this edit. I also see that Helptottt reverted bisexual material again, but that Helptottt was reverted by Launchballer. And regarding this? I reverted because, like I stated, people don't belong in those categories. Flyer22 Frozen ( talk) 03:02, 8 April 2020 (UTC)
Her sexuality may be non-heterosexual, but perhaps Ora doesn't want to be defined by her sexuality because she never actually said that she was bisexual and how she chooses to label herself is the most important thing here. It's absurd that some editors are trying to dictate how she should be labelled. Also, the added quote where Ora says how she was "experimental in her late teens" frankly suggests a more bi-curious situation. Putting the quote into context, it was kind of an "explanation" of the lyrics of that song, "Girls", that she released. The added references aren't from a tabloid, but those articles basically present their own interpretations (and labels) of what she said. LGBT categories should stay, but adding how she "came out as bisexual" is not true and shouldn't be in the article. -- Helptottt ( talk) 19:46, 19 April 2020 (UTC)

Please add following text at end of section on album Phoenix: Rita recorded 2 songs with Prince between 2013 and summer of 2014 that were originally slated for her second album, which later became known as Phoenix: "Ain't About To Stop" ( [2]) and "The Single Most Amazing" ( [3]). Phoenix was postponed from September 2014 until November 2018, after Prince's death, and those tracks were ultimately not included. Prince released a version of "Ain't About To Stop" on his own 38th studio album Hitnrun Phase One in 2015 that still included backing vocals by Rita. "The Single Most Amazing" remains unreleased.

I do believe we should refer to her as a Kosovan born British singer as she herself refers to herself as Kosovan. Anyone else have any opinions? LaVozSA ( talk) 21:47, 24 August 2021 (UTC)

I have decided not to unprotect the page as of today, as the article is still being heavily edited, and there are few edit requests on the talk page, and those have not been actioned. I suspect an edit war will break out over whether she is Albanian, Kosovan, or Yugoslavian. It is best to discuss anything controversial on this talk page. You can ask for a second official opinion at WP:RFPP. Graeme Bartlett ( talk) 23:41, 7 July 2022 (UTC)
Now here Helptottt, what are you concerns? You are continuously being reverted for your disruptive behaviour. This article has to undergo an update with reliable sources and a clear structure. Iaof2017 ( talk) 20:14, 6 October 2022 (UTC)

Rita Ora married Taika Waititi In Summer 2022. Source: Rita Ora in People Magazine 138.88.251.44 ( talk) 06:52, 1 October 2022 (UTC)
There should be references to her involvement in multiple COVID lockdown breaches, eg. [6] - 115.70.22.155 ( talk) 14:17, 13 May 2022 (UTC)
Johnson himself broke the lockdown rules several times. Many people criticised Ora about the breach but we shouldn't be trying to include every last detail. SmartSE ( talk) 09:57, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
Ora's performance at this event doesn't seem notable enough to be added to the article, it wasn't even televised! An editor that added it mentioned a connection to Taika Waititi, since he introduced her before the performance. Since Ora and Waititi will co-host the MTV Europe Music Awards this month, I suggest we add the information about them co-hosting the EMAs instead of the rugby event.

The film, TV and theatre director Besim Sahatçiu is her grandfather. Besim, who died in 2005, was well-respected in his field and in 2018, Kosovo's Ministry of Culture posthumously honoured him with a Lifetime Achievement Award for Cinematography. That year, a street in the city Prishtina was named after him.

Many edits referring to marriage to Taika Waititi have been reverted, mostly by User:Helptottt.
Rita is orriginally from Kossivo. The marriage is now routinely being reported as fact by New Zealand's main newspapers, Stuff and The New Zealand Herald. Both are "reliable sources" for Wikipedia, with professional fact-checking standards.
The most recent example describes her as Adopted “New Zealander” British pop star Rita Ora (who is married to Kiwi film-maker Taika Waititi). [1]
I formally propose that the married status be accepted by Wikipedia. All users, please comment here on whether you *support* or *oppose* the change. Please give citations if you can. Unless there is consensus *not* to accept the marriage, i will add it as fact to Rita Ora and Taika Waititi after 16 October 2022. Somej ( talk) 00:23, 9 October 2022 (UTC)
Hi, I'm aware that the marriage story is reported by the NZ media. However, they are reporting it in their entertainment section and are going by what the rumor is. According to the story, the marriage happened in the UK, so it's unusual that we would take the NZ media as the confirmation.
The point is, there hasn't been a solid confirmation. More importantly, the two supposedly married people haven't confirmed it. Until they do, it shouldn't be in the article. The Taika Waititi article completely leaves out this marriage information, so why the insistence for it to be added here? Helptottt ( talk) 17:22, 21 October 2022 (UTC)

Is the marriage claim reliably sourced with the People article? Shouldn't we take into account that neither Ora or Waititi confirmed this rumour? On Waititi's article, the marriage addition got removed for WP:BLPGOSSIP.
Also, from a recent article by stuff.co.nz: "Rita Ora has starred on The Jonathan Ross Show, where she gushed about her partner, Kiwi filmmaker Taika Waititi – but avoided calling him her husband." Helptottt ( talk) 17:14, 9 November 2022 (UTC)
