Not done: Edits must be presented in a manner which provides the exact text to be inserted, along with other considerations. Simply asking volunteer editors to "Add to controversies section" is not permitted. Also, while I'm not sure if there is any guideline which supports me here, I'm uncomfortable slapping categories such as Category:OnlyFans creators without there being prose with inline citations in the article supporting that - which none of the 6 edit requests have provided. —Sirdog (talk) 03:56, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Remove her from these categories.

Remove Pop-rap and its source and change it to Hip hop as pop-rap is referring to a couple of songs and not her music as a whole. 109.144.220.218 (talk) 08:20, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Change and remove Pop-rap and its source from the info box and replace it with Hip hop as pop-rap is referring to a couple of songs and not her music as a whole, whereas the other sources call her a hip hop artist instead. Ninacaliente (talk) 19:08, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Facepalm It seems that you just copied and pasted a declined request. thetechie@enwiki: ~/talk/ $ 21:21, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

And DO NOT add a "references" template, as you did at this talk page and mine. Please format your references as a list of links (in the edit requests) in the future, to avoid adding a references template at the bottom that clogs resources. thetechie@enwiki: ~/talk/ $ 21:26, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have removed your references for this reason. thetechie@enwiki: ~/talk/ $ 21:29, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrect views number / Change views number

Hello, since I can't change this, can someone change the beginning statement "[]...her Youtube channel has accumulated 3.4 billion views" to change it to 4.1 billion, since it's not 3.4, and if necessary put 6.3 billion views overall including other artists. Thanks 89.201.185.88 (talk) 18:04, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Updating her info

Briefly, her views count are incorrect, should be 4.2 billion SatelliteChange (talk) 07:05, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Problems with additions

@SatelliteChange: sorry if anything i've said is offending, but before you consider restoring these recent edits you make to the page, please make sure:

I'm sorry but that grammar is awful. There's so much you can learn by taking a look at Wikipedia:Manual of Style. Keep in mind that you have to use "Azalea" not "Iggy" when referring to her. Your additions are not a good representation of what the Wikipedia site should look like, especially taking into consideration this page gets a million page views annually. Without offense, your edit summaries have better grammar than the paragraphs you add.
On August 2023 Tory was sentenced to 10 years in prison and with that her upcoming 4th album was abandoned and she seemingly announced her retirement from music again in 2024 to focus on more creative projects. does not support what the reference says
In 2024 she launched her memecoin called Mother Iggy ("$MOTHER"). According to CNN Iggy has reached capitalization of about $200 million. Besides cryptocurrency, Iggy launched her own non-contract telecommunication service called "Unreal Mobile", as well as crowd-funding platform "Dream Vault".[citation needed] In 2024 She told Forbes about the "Dream Vault": "DreamVault is a platform that I created so that anybody who has a dream, it's a place where they can try to achieve it and create a community to help them achieve whatever it is that their goal is".[citation needed] if you can't source this then don't add it
She reportedly made $307.000 in first five days, and $48 million in first year the dot in "307.000" should be a comma (this may make users think that it's 307 dollars, not 307,000). how do we know whether it's talking about US dollar or AU dollar?

Personally I don't think all of the additions belong to this section, since "career" refers to her musical career. I think you should add that to a subsection in personal life or create a new section. Also Money Come should be stylised as "Money Come" not Money Come.

Without offending anyone the burden is on you to fix this; you were the one who added it, you should carry the responsibility to fix it (unless another editor decides to step in). As you said, "we are all here to help each other"; I'm helping you right now by giving you these suggestions. I'd recommend using Grammarly but personal opinion. Keep in mind that grammar like this may push users away from the site and therefore decrease users' trust in Wikipedia, especially considering this article gets a million views annually, as they may think that we're just some writers who don't care about the grammar of the site and therefore don't care about factual accuracy.

Hello, thanks for detailed tips in order to change my edit that I was writing for a long period of time. I am a rap music fan, I like to update pop culture related articles and yes my first language is not english (still think it’s good for what I wrote) and I will change everything you pointed out. It seemed like you were mocking my grammar without even knowing how much effort did I put into this and hours outside researching info and data for Iggy. I am Iggy’s fan and I think some things you pointed out were fair enough and I will fix them, but please don’t disregard someones work just because you think itks not up to part or good enough. Its a common knowledge to update to most recent news and updates of any celebrity so I would still put her “business” addition to her career section because then judging by what you said “Personally I don't think all of the additions belong to this section, since "career" refers to her musical career. I think you should add that to a subsection in personal life or create a new section ” Beyonce, Britney Spears, Lady Gaga, Selena Gomez, and even rap artist Nicki Minaj and Cardi B wouldnt have half of their business projects on career section, she is an artist and its still part of her career if that makes sense. And I will use grammarly too. I will change everything you pointed out, fix my grammar, search for sources. SatelliteChange (talk) 05:44, 4 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
