These are both tabloids, so unreliable - see WP:RSP. — Bilorv (talk) 11:19, 30 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
So she gave up for a month, two years ago? But she had started smoking again 6 years before that? Errm, how about now? Martinevans123 (talk) 15:30, 30 January 2022 (UTC)Reply

Lead photograph

edit

It would be better if the lead photograph was one without a hand and mike in the way, and showed Allen's full face. Ciridae (talk) 08:15, 18 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

(For reference: at time of writing the infobox image is here.) @Ciridae: all other things being equal, yes it would. Of the free images we currently have available, do you think any are better? I can see some candidates but each comes with its own disadvantages: Option 1 (eyes closed, facing right); Option 2 (10 years old; slightly strange pose/angle in my opinion). — Bilorv (talk) 19:55, 21 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

She says: She gave up her career for her children

edit

I have only a German language source (https://www.msn.com/de-de/unterhaltung/other/lily-allen-meine-kinder-haben-meine-karriere-zerstört/ar-BB1jLowP) for it, but the en wikipedia pageviews (https://pageviews.wmcloud.org/?project=en.wikipedia.org&platform=all-access&agent=user&redirects=0&start=2024-02-01&end=2024-03-12&pages=Lily_Allen ) indicate that there must be English sources as well. --2003:6:33AE:3D28:6829:9C0D:8DA8:2619 (talk) 15:35, 13 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Yeah, as that source says the quotes are from a Radio Times podcast. Lots of derivative sources; I've added CNN. — Bilorv (talk) 19:13, 17 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Myspace, Regal Recordings

edit

In the BBC Podcast, "Miss Me?", released on 14th March 2024, the Wikipedia article Lily Allen is discussed by its subject. An edit should probably result. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0hjdmk1

Wikipedia - "Her musical career began in 2005 when she published her vocal recordings on the social networking site Myspace; their popularity resulted in airplay on BBC Radio 1 and led her to sign with Regal Recordings.

Miss Me?, 8:25 - "Not quite true. I actually was signed to Regal Recordings before I set up the Myspace - but, you do you, Wikipedia." 81.105.46.48 (talk) 18:24, 15 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

(And it is Myspace, not MySpace as it is styled later in the article.) 81.105.46.48 (talk) 18:29, 15 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

  Not done: this needs a reliable source for verifiability. — Bilorv (talk) 21:59, 31 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
