Lana stated in an interview at the Brit Awards in March that she spends alot of time living at her apartment in London. Can a proper source be found for this and added to the article, as it states she only lives in NYC or LA, but from the lady's own mouth that's incorrect.

The verb "spawned" is used twice in close proximity in the lede to this non-biological article, in neither case with best descriptive value, accuracy of meaning, or reader impact.

In the first case, the simple "included" would allow us to forego a formal piscatorial reproductive reference.

In the second, the sentence:

"With the release of her third EP, Paradise, Del Rey spawned her second top ten album in the United States, debuting at number 10 on the Billboard 200 with 67,000 copies sold in its first week."

might read better (and shorter) as:

"Paradise, Del Rey's third EP, sold 67,000 copies in its first week, debuting at number 10 on the Billboard 200 and giving her a second top-ten album in the U.S."

While these simplifications are less creative, they acknowledge that the creative process of songwriting and album production deserve better imaginative associations than the current allusions supply.

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Lana Del Rey's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 01:26, 6 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I think the infobox picture should be changed from this picture to this picture. The latter picture displays the person discussed in the article looking straight-on into the camera with a neutral expression and shows the way Del Rey looks better than the picture that is currently being used.

I disagree with the proposed change, and I have reverted the change back to the original image placement. This has been discussed quite thoroughly here: Talk:Lana Del Rey/Archive 1#Picture. The image currently in place is a full-frontal shot with the singer smiling. It is a flattering photograph, where as this one is quite unflattering and makes her look bored. This aside, the current image is more recent. Besides the Jaguar image is the infobox image used at List of awards and nominations received by Lana Del Rey. The variety is tasteful, with the superior image in terms of focus, age, and image quality being on the artist's main article. --Thevampireashlee (talk) 07:28, 9 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
