For more information, or to get involved, please visit the project page or contribute to the discussion.LGBTQ+ studiesWikipedia:WikiProject LGBTQ+ studiesTemplate:WikiProject LGBTQ+ studiesLGBTQ+ studies
	This article is supported by the LGBTQ+ Person task force.

The contentious topics procedure applies to this page. This page is related to gender-related disputes or controversies or people associated with them, which has been designated as a contentious topic.

Editors who repeatedly or seriously fail to adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, any expected standards of behaviour, or any normal editorial process may be blocked or restricted by an administrator. Editors are advised to familiarise themselves with the contentious topics procedures before editing this page.

This article should adhere to the gender identity guideline because it contains material about one or more trans women. Precedence should be given to self-designation as reported in the most up-to-date reliable sources, anywhere in article space, even when it doesn't match what's most common in reliable sources. Any person whose gender might be questioned should be referred to by the pronouns, possessive adjectives, and gendered nouns (for example "man/woman", "waiter/waitress", "chairman/chairwoman") that reflect that person's latest expressed gender self-identification. Some people go by singular they pronouns, which are acceptable for use in articles. This applies in references to any phase of that person's life, unless the subject has indicated a preference otherwise. Former, pre-transition names may only be included if the person was notable while using the name; outside of the main biographical article, such names should only appear once, in a footnote or parentheses.

If material violating this guideline is repeatedly inserted, or if there are other related issues, please report the issue to the LGBTQ+ WikiProject, or, in the case of living people, to the BLP noticeboard.

Dana International

what is Dana International? A golf tournament? A corporation? A hotel? Kingturtle 19:36 24 May 2003 (UTC)

Last I checked, Dana International was an israelian transexual singer. What she has to do with Romania is obscure to me. --FvdP 19:38 24 May 2003 (UTC)

I'm confused too - the only links to this article are from the Eurovision Song Contest general article, and the 1998 ESC article. I don't see any Romanian connection. Arwel 20:33 24 May 2003 (UTC)

I copied this info into Prime ministers of Romania. Kingturtle 20:45 24 May 2003 (UTC)

What does this mean?

I copyedited this article, but I have no idea what do do with this sentence: "He studied elementary school and then Lior and Schmulick Sa'adia who would become his dancers." What does that mean? Did he study with Lior and Schmulick? Did he study them? Someone help please.

Lola is NOT the 3rd single!

It has been officially confirmed that Lola is not the 3rd single off the new album (in fact, it's not even ON the album). The 3rd single is At muchana, which is a response to Israeli media flaming Dana. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 84.230.190.4 (talk) 09:32, August 22, 2007 (UTC)

Not done for now: Youtube is not considered a reliable source. Please find other, in-depth, reliable sources that cover this. I don't know what the Israeli equivalent is, but something like their MTV or something, might be enough. Not done for now. thetechie@enwiki: ~/talk/ $ 00:17, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 19 December 2024

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

I would like to suggest the removal of Sharon Cohen's birthname since this in my view constitutes "deadnaming" which is not only inappropriate since she is trans and it is often a very hurtful thing to say to someone who is trans, but it also goes against the stilistic guide by wikipedia: "If a living transgender or non-binary person was not notable under a former name (a deadname), the former name should not be included in any page (including lists, redirects, disambiguation pages, category names, templates, etc.), even in quotations, even if reliable sourcing exists. Treat the pre-notability name as a privacy interest" (Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Gender_identity)

As far as I know she was not notable in any way under her birthname, since even when she was a music artist 1990 to 1993 (when she changed name) she was known for the name "Dana International". When she sang "Diva" 1998 it was furthermore under the legal name Sharon Cohen. Hyperrealhyperlink (talk) 12:05, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done - thank you and merry Christmas! ObserveOwl 🎄 (talk) 12:45, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
