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

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

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
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
Done. Pabsoluterince (talk) 19:31, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
Not done: this needs a reliable source for verifiability. — Bilorv (talk) 21:59, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
