I found a source that may be useful for covering information about Lady Gaga's image
See: Simulacrum - It may be good to link to that age if you use the source WhisperToMe (talk) 04:11, 26 February 2016 (UTC)
Does anyone know if there are places where we can request to have quality Gaga articles at English Wikipedia translated and promoted at other Wikipedias? For example, Dope (Lady Gaga song) has also been promoted at Spanish Wikipedia, but not other languages. It would be nice if we could encourage other Wikipedias to promote Gaga content. Maybe the best strategy is just to ping editors who worked on promoting one article and see if they'd be willing to translate and promote others? ---Another Believer (Talk) 22:44, 8 February 2017 (UTC)
Do project members think this good topic is ready? ---Another Believer (Talk) 04:45, 27 February 2018 (UTC)
IB, I think as long as all articles are still of quality status, there's no need for you to revisit each entry before submitting the nomination. --Another Believer (Talk) 15:38, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
Congrats! ---Another Believer (Talk) 16:08, 9 June 2018 (UTC)
Are there any project members who speak languages other than English and would be willing to translate some of the project's Good articles and nominate them for similar status on other Wikipedias? ---Another Believer (Talk) 21:22, 1 July 2018 (UTC)
FYI, I posted requests at WikiProject Aviation and WikiProject Aircraft for assistance expanding and improving the TechHaus Volantis article, which is an unusual article for WikiProject Lady Gaga but one that's part of the proposed Artpop Good topic. I think getting help from editors more familiar with aircraft article standards would be helpful. We'll see if anyone is interested! ---Another Believer (Talk) 02:51, 1 August 2018 (UTC)
I've created Wikipedia:WikiProject Lady Gaga/Wikimedia to showcase quality Lady Gaga content across all Wikimedia project. Feel free to beautify and update appropriately. Would be great to see more articles promoted at various language editions of Wikipedia. Happy editing! ---Another Believer (Talk) 15:56, 11 January 2019 (UTC)
Something to keep in mind, User:Gabrielflorin01 has nominated "Applause" and "Million Reasons" at ro.Wikipedia, so the list may (hopefully!) need some updating soon. ---Another Believer (Talk) 18:29, 12 January 2019 (UTC)
Just a reminder, these GA noms were abandoned but could be re-nominated and promoted based on feedback received:

Hey! I've been editing Gaga's music articles and I noticed that in the infobox in some it is written Lady Gaga and others Stefani Germanotta in the Songwriter(s) section. I think we should decide whether it will always be Lady Gaga or her real name, including in the article List of songs recorded by Lady Gaga. Thoughts? GagaNutellatalk 21:34, 22 September 2020 (UTC)
Chromatica currently has this line: A sample of Maya Jane Coles' "What They Say" (2010) sources the deep house-inflection of the bilingual "Sour Candy"
. (Though we don't repeat this claim in the Sour Candy article.) The line is sourced to a Pitchfork review which says: “Sour Candy” is at least the fourth pop song built on a sample of Maya Jane Coles’ “What They Say.”
The words "fourth", "pop", and "song" link respectively to music videos for "Truffle Butter", "Swish Swish", and "Girls Like".
Also, if you search for "sour candy sample", you can find news articles that repeat this claim (example - though note that the article is framed as reporting on claims made by fans via social media).
The problem is, I'm pretty sure this is incorrect. Truffle Butter does sample "What They Say", but Sour Candy, Swish Swish, and Girls Like merely have basslines that are reminiscent of the song, because they all draw inspiration from the same 90's techno house sound. If you listen carefully, you'll find the melodies are clearly different. There's a good, cogent forum post that breaks this down, though of course as WP:UGC it's not a reliable source we can cite.
However, while Truffle Butter credits Maya Jane Coles as a songwriter, Sour Candy does not include her anywhere in the credits (nor do Swish Swish or Girls Like). Would this not be considered proof that there's no sample? If so, is it worth mentioning this in the article? e.g. something like "Fans and critics speculated that the song sampled Maya Jane Coles' 2010 song "What They Say"[ref][ref], though Coles was not credited in the liner notes.[ref]" (Though someone might read that as us saying that the song did sample and failed to give credit. There's probably a better way to word it.) Colin M (talk) 20:50, 10 February 2021 (UTC)
Hey, I have renominated it. I took this review into consideration. Can someone take a look again, please? GagaNutellatalk 04:48, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
Congratulations to all of us for bringing 80 articles to GA status. Plus, we have 6 FL and 5 FA. Amazing! GagaNutellatalk 17:01, 16 March 2023 (UTC)
Quality assessments by Wikipedia editors rate articles in terms of completeness, organization, prose quality, sourcing, etc. Most wikiprojects follow the general guidelines at Wikipedia:Content assessment, but some have specialized assessment guidelines. A recent Village pump proposal was approved and has been implemented to add a |class=
parameter to ((WikiProject banner shell)), which can display a general quality assessment for an article, and to let project banner templates "inherit" this assessment.
No action is required if your wikiproject follows the standard assessment approach. Over time, quality assessments will be migrated up to ((WikiProject banner shell)), and your project banner will automatically "inherit" any changes to the general assessments for the purpose of assigning categories.
However, if your project has decided to "opt out" and follow a non-standard quality assessment approach, all you have to do is modify your wikiproject banner template to pass ((WPBannerMeta)) a new |QUALITY_CRITERIA=custom
parameter. If this is done, changes to the general quality assessment will be ignored, and your project-level assessment will be displayed and used to create categories, as at present. Aymatth2 (talk) 13:12, 12 April 2023 (UTC)
Hello, do you guys think this article is necessary? I believe it might not have enough content about this track. GagaNutellatalk 15:10, 15 October 2023 (UTC)
