Hi, I added the Asperger data and link, I have it too (asperger) and think Pip is great :) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.174.250.32 ( talk) 01:08, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
Did she really contract this disease? What were the odds? Seeing as no human in New Zealand had gotten Erysipelas in 20 years since Pip got it, I'm not sure if I believe it, also I'm doing a project about her and I CAN'T TOLERATE INCORRECT INFORMATION! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.181.115.91 ( talk) 00:45, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

Trying to determine Ladyhawke's birth year, I've found the following details.
Age | Published | Source |
26 | 11 February 2008 | [1] |
26 | 8 August 2008 | [2] |
26 | 25 September 2008 | [3] |
27 | 11 September 2008 | [4] |
28 | 19 January 2009 | [5] |
28 | March 2009 | [6] |
29 | 19 April 2009 | [7] |
30 | 8 April 2009 | [8] |
Additionally the ezine Supersweet states the year is 1981 [9]
The results are contradictory, indicating a range from 9 April 1978 to 11 February 1982. XLerate ( talk) 04:19, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
I'dd trust the one from 8 April 2009 the most, to be honest. 86.135.229.113 ( talk) 21:33, 30 August 2009 (UTC)
Why does the year it was published make a difference to its credibility? If an article was published a year ago stating that 2+2=4, and I wrote my own article today stating that 2+2 is in fact equal to 7, does that make me right because my assertion is newer? Information used should be based on credibility, not how shiny and brand new it is. Dylan ( talk) 00:30, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
From a quick glance the 14 July 1979 date seems more accurate and reliable. The tweets re: 'birthday present yesterday' were dated 15 July and also support that same date not 13 July. I'm going to change all birth date information to 14 July 1979 within the article. A better source is needed for 13 July. shaidar cuebiyar ( talk) 01:00, 8 April 2012 (UTC)
Hey there,
How are you so sure Ladyhawke was born on 14 July 1979? Also, how come you changed the dates of these links: http://twitter.com/#!/ladyhawkeforyou/status/2635582058 http://twitter.com/#!/ladyhawkeforyou/status/2636039529 from 14 July 2009 to 15 July 2009?

The opening sentence of the main text looks like its got some ref clutter: currently 8 refs. I'm going to use a ref cluster, I'll delete the two older tweets: they don't add anything extra compared with the 10 April tweet. Hope this will make it neater to read. shaidar cuebiyar ( talk) 01:55, 11 April 2012 (UTC)
I see it as totally unwarranted that this article has a separate discography. Ladyhawke is still a relatively short article - it's hardly like The Beatles or Genesis (band) where a separate discography article is necessary to keep sizes manageable. Forcing users to load another page to see fundamental information about an artist is really unhelpful. Furthermore, I think a merged article would have a good shot a GA status. Separately, no chance. dramatic (talk) 08:51, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
I've removed Category:LGBT people from New Zealand from the article, because under our BLP policy, this requires a source showing she self-identifies as LGBT. I have found a couple of sources saying she is gay, [10] [11] but none that confirm self-identification as such. -- Avenue ( talk) 02:34, 4 December 2010 (UTC)
I added Wonky pop [ [12]] as one of Ladyhawke's associated genre's but this was deleted although she is included on the page with a Guardian article to back up the association.Why was it deleted.If it had a consensus on that page surely the same applies to this page as well. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Scratchy7929 ( talk • contribs) 20:28, 22 May 2012 (UTC)
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm3413563/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1
IMDB.com puts her year of birth as 1981, but this wikipedia article says she was born in 1979. Both sources can't be true, so which one is right? This is wikipedia, which is prone to vandalism, and there is no citation given whatsoever in the article, so I'm more inclined to believe IMDB on this. -- 99.24.181.162 ( talk) 07:29, 14 December 2014 (UTC)

The result of the move request was: Not moved. ( non-admin closure) Natg 19 ( talk) 01:04, 22 January 2022 (UTC)
– I believe the musician is far more likely to be the primary topic over the disambiguation page. Looking at the pageviews, the musician received 4,405 pageviews over the last three weeks, which is an average of 210 a day (as seen here), compared to the disambiguation page, which received 656 pageviews during the same time period, an average of 31 a day (as seen here). Naturally, pageviews aren't the only thing which determine primary topics, but the comprehensive coverage of the subject within the article is indicative of her lasting influence and legacy when compared to other articles by this name.
