Beware of the Dog

Link for "Beware of the Dog" needs to be changed in the departure from Parlophone section. Correct link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beware_of_the_Dog_(song) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.3.245.151 (talk) 00:49, 30 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Image

Hello! I removed the image, because there isn't an image with that name... The old imagetag was: [[Image:Jamelia may04 250x190.jpg|220px|thumb| Jamelia]]. I didn't copy it, because I'm not sure if I am allowed, because I do not understand everything of the copyright. Could someone add this image, if possible? --Marc-André Aßbrock 19:07, 12 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Birthday

I dont know because i found that her birthday is on the 2nd january 1981, ino this is only like 9 days diffenert but it does matter because then we know what day she was actually born.

Does anybody know if Jamelia's birthdate is correct.

http://www.filmmagic.com/ItemListing.aspx?cgl=158142&EventI=0&navtyp=CAL&ym=20061

She celebrated her birthday on January 17, this year which i find odd. --InDe 20:24, 25 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Are you sure it was Jamelia's and not Javines'? 86.142.124.146 16:32, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Pronunciation of her name

I Think You Pronounce her name? Ja - me - lee - uh/ i am sure that it is pronounce this way because on Tv they pronounce it that way.

Can anyone tell me how to pronounce her first, and i suppose while i'm at it, her middle name too. i've always presumed her name was pronounced /ja - me -lee -uh/ but i've recently heard /ja -may-la/. anyone? cullen 03:04, 27 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've heard her on television saying the former rather than the latter. Robwingfield ^(talk) 07:25, 27 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Chart figures in Australia

I dont think Jamelia's 2006 singles have been released in Australia yet, so cant have a ranking of 17. I work as a DJ so i would have noticed.

Place of birth

Smethwick or Winson Green? Only a few hundred yards difference but it matters you know - it's the difference between a Black Country lass and a Brummie. Cutler 11:19, 24 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Question Time

I removed the bit about her liking Margaret Thatcher as she later elaborated that she misspoke and meant to say she was a fan of old labour —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.98.17.166 (talk) 15:31, 2 August 2010 (UTC) She has said it was a mistake here http://www.metro.co.uk/music/831320-jamelia-i-was-threatened-by-the-russian-mafia . Seems keeping it in would be an unfair representation of her character. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.98.17.166 (talk) 20:57, 6 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

File:Jamelia.jpg Nominated for speedy Deletion

An image used in this article, File:Jamelia.jpg, has been nominated for speedy deletion at Wikimedia Commons for the following reason: Copyright violations

What should I do?

Don't panic; deletions can take a little longer at Commons than they do on Wikipedia. This gives you an opportunity to contest the deletion (although please review Commons guidelines before doing so). The best way to contest this form of deletion is by posting on the image talk page.

If the image is non-free then you may need to upload it to Wikipedia (Commons does not allow fair use)
If the image isn't freely licensed and there is no fair use rationale then it cannot be uploaded or used.
If the image has already been deleted you may want to try Commons Undeletion Request

Film with Vinnie Jones

In one of her Never Mind The Buzzcocks performances she mentioned a film "which is crap" that she was shooting. Vinnie Jones was in it and apparently she had to enter a bear enclosure. I can't find any mention of that in the article. Which film was that? Shouldn't it be mentioned? 94.64.114.187 (talk) 23:25, 30 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

"cnt" in Infobox

The "Occupations" field of the Infobox contains an acronym "cnt". Unfortunately, it points to a disambiguation page, and I don't know what "cnt" represents. Would somebody please either point "cnt" to the exact Wiki article or explain the acronym? Thanks.

BLP issues

A personal life section mentioned her relationship with her father without a citation. It further listed her relationships with the names of her children and DoB, using tabloid newspapers as citations. These are serious BLP issues and they have been removed. Please discuss below if you feel you have the sources to include them. Karst (talk) 22:36, 23 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

And as per the RfC the Daily Mail (used twice in this case) is not considered a reliable source. Karst (talk) 09:10, 13 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
