Middle class

I think it should be pointed out that Dappy and Tulisa did not grow up on the hard streets as they claim, but they are middle to upper class. They went to good schools, and lived in nice houses growing up as both of their fathers are rock stars from the band Mungo Jerry. http://www.contactmusic.com/news.nsf/story/contostavlos-takes-aim-tulisas-bad-girl-image_1223817 85.119.25.27 (talk) 08:51, 8 June 2011 (UTC

Tulisa has stated in her book honest that she did grow up in a rough neighborhood where she was bullied lived in a one bedroom flat with her parents and not a three bedroom house (which should be corrected). Also that her father left home when she was 9 yrs old not 14.

Dappy also grew up on a council estate.

There is confusion because when they were born they both lived with there gran parents for a year which was a three bedroom house before there grand parents left the country and went back to Greece all explained in Tulisas book.

Album

Please remove the album title Young there is no confirmation of this just because the single is called young does not mean to say the album is too. Mr JKX (talk · contribs)

Requested move 26 March 2016

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: Move. Consensus is that the singer is the primary topic of the term Tulisa. Cúchullain ^t/c 14:52, 4 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Tulisa (singer) → Tulisa
Tulisa → Tulisa (disambiguation)

– Seriously, are we actually going to pretend that any of the other three things are a patch on Tulisa in terms of notability? None of them are anything other than stubs. Unreal7 (talk) 23:31, 26 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Support as this is the only article with the title "Tulisa". I missed the previous move discussion and would probably have opposed the move from Tulisa Contostavlos, but that's in the past. Anemone Projectors 00:31, 27 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Support - Mlpearc (open channel) 00:35, 27 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per 2015 and 2014 requests. As for this being the only "Tulisa", that is an incorrect assumption that Wikipedia article titles are the only names that topics ever are known by fails to consider that the disambiguation page does indeed list other topics that are known as "Tulisa" which is the point of having a disambiguation page. -- 70.51.46.39 (talk) 05:09, 27 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- What I meant is that this is the only article whose title is the single word "Tulisa". The other subjects wouldn't be located at Tulisa (river), Tulisa (park) or Tulisa (legend). Anemone Projectors 11:54, 27 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Support per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. SST flyer 07:51, 27 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment : malformed template placement - after having just made the point on another 2 or 3 similar RMs, here again we have the template on one of the possible subjects of a dab page, thereby slanting which editors see notifications and project alerts. (Does WP:RM guideline text need to be updated to make not doing this clear?) In ictu oculi (talk) 14:05, 27 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
And oppose fails most basic GBooks search where Tulisa the woodcutter's daughter and other subjects combined together get equal or more print space than Tulisa Contostavlos. In ictu oculi (talk) 14:05, 27 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Support per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. –Davey2010^Talk 15:07, 27 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Support. If this is the only article that could reasonably be titled simply "Tulisa," then there is no need for disambiguation. Gulangyu (talk) 08:05, 28 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Support. The singer gets 98% of pageviews on the dab page - including partial title matches. That's overwhelming evidence of primarytopic by usage. No other contenders for primary-by-significance, either. Dohn joe (talk) 14:12, 28 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Support per all the aboves. Calidum ¤ 02:28, 29 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

Genre

This article has been edited by socks of MariaJaydHicky. One of this vandal's hallmarks is removing "pop" as a genre and adding in a different genre in its place. (I guess they just don't like the idea that they like pop music.)

Recently, they has been one WP:SPA editor and a number of IPs removing "pop" and replacing it with "grime". Until such time as there is substantial discussion to the contrary and/or ALL genres cite reliable sources, the existing genres as of this edit are assumed to be the last stable version prior to the last confirmed sock of MariaJaydHicky.

Yes, the vandal frequently makes changes without explaining, provides false edit summaries, claims they are not a sock, etc. It is apparently very important to them that some songs/albums/artists are not listed as "pop". It's likely they'll even discuss it here with whatever explanations they care to make up. Sock cases, blocks and edit protection will be used as needed. - SummerPhD^v2.0 00:06, 2 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Name's transliteration into Greek

No source is cited for it; I suspect it's OR (a presumption by whoever added it). While Tula → Τούλα and Contostavlos → Κοντόσταυλου are what someone who is familiar with Greek names would expect (except for the placement of the tonos in the surname), Παυλίνα is the transliteration of Paulina. Is the e in Paulinea silent? —71.105.243.101 (talk) 16:56, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 20 November 2024

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Tulisa. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.
