Big Brother and the Holding Company's 'Cheap Thrills' is not a compilation album, by our common definition of that term. Also, Elvis Presley is inaccurately referred to as a contemporary of Del Rey. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.80.156.7 (talk) 03:50, 5 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

she is 27 years old not 29. the brith date is wrong. it was correct a few days ago so somebody changed it recently.

See the section above you. She was born on June 21, 1985, and is 29 years old. Littlecarmen (talk) 11:38, 21 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Under the "Career" heading, subsection "2011–13: Born to Die, Paradise, and Tropico," Paragraph 3, it says "Ride" became available for purchase on September 25, 2013. Shouldn't that be 2012, since that's when the "Paradise" EP was released? Bnewall1 (talk) 06:30, 22 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Can the entire page be proof read. Her name is Lana Del Rey and not Ray. It says Lana Del Ray in the known a space too and throughout the document. Jamiehenriques12 (talk) 20:33, 10 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Done, no changes necessary. She did release her first album with the spelling Ray, so that is correct to refer to the album and her during that time period. —C.Fred (talk) 20:37, 10 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I read:

Amongst her musical influences, Del Rey cites several contemporary artists such as Elvis Presley, Antony and the Johnsons, Frank Sinatra, Eminem and Amy Winehouse.

Elvis Presley: long dead. Frank Sinatra: long dead. Eminem: alive, but a name from the past. Amy Winehouse: dead (though recently so). (Antony and the Johnsons: I've no idea.) What does "contemporary" mean here? -- Hoary (talk) 14:15, 12 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It occurred to me that "contemporary music" might have some additional, non-obvious meaning. Sure enough, "contemporary music" takes me to "contemporary classical music", which tells me: "Contemporary music" and "Contemporary art music" redirect here. For other forms of contemporary music, see Popular music. (But the word "contemporary" appears nowhere within the latter article.)

How about: Amongst her influences, Del Rey cites several popular musicians such as Elvis Presley, Antony and the Johnsons, Frank Sinatra, Eminem and Amy Winehouse?

(I note from the top of this talk page that it's not just me who's puzzled by "contemporary".) -- Hoary (talk) 00:21, 13 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Pretty When You Cry (song) was recently expanded from a redirect, but contains little information. Is this song notable enough for its own article? ---Another Believer _(Talk) 16:30, 14 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This image of her has been up for over three years now, while there are a handful of other better, and more recent images of her (specifically ones of her performing). Why exactly is there a notice to consult on the Talk page before changing the photo? At this point, the photo of Del Rey in 2012 promoting her first album would be better placed in the body of the article for context, while a more recent photo would make more sense in the infobox (especially since her physical appearance has slightly shifted).

Three years in the context of a BLP page is not unheard of. I would be worried however (considering your talk page) what image you had in mind and if it would qualify under copyright rules. Karst (talk) 22:22, 16 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
