Talk:Nicole Scherzinger

is this really appropriate? It's so subjectively written. perhaps someone can edit the paragraph to take out the bias, "Scherzinger is what entertainment industry executives call “a triple threat.” This free-spirited artist is not just another pretty face; she can sing, act, and dance. In a business that has been criticized for placing more emphasis on “image” than “ability” she shatters stereotypes with her blend of exotic beauty, charisma, and undeniable talent." gold3nrul3 13:47, 9 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

I have reverted article to an earlier version without the POV para and have restored the removed wikilinks --Design 03:31, 10 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

I removed the POV para (again?) and added a line about her high school. --Jamiem 02:23, 13 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

She's really filipino? damn! i thought she was half indian.. but whatver.. now i'm proud to be filipina! haha jk..seriously she's filipina? whoa!

• Hard to believe that it's that shocking to anyone. pattersonc 21:16, 3 April 2006 (UTC)Reply
• yeah wow I was suprised too, she doesnt look filipina

• A recent anon.edit changed her birth father's nationality/ethnicity from Filipina to Hawaiian. What's the truth? All other sources say she has Hawaiian/Russian/Filipino ancestry. 05:29, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

Its simple! As said in the Richard & Judy interview, Nicole says her mother is hawaiian/russian and his dad is filipino.

Shes not Filipina, she is at most 1 third filipina meaning more than 1 half of her ethnic makeup is not filipino. Until a scource is presented proving that her father is Filipino and her mother is Hawaiian/Russian, the article will state and quote from the scources that have been currently provided. --Jandela 11:27, 6 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

If her father is Filipino, then she is half Filipina! And a quarter Hawaiian, and a quarter Russian, if her mom is Hawaiian/Russian! It's that simple! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.58.89.155 (talk) 19:39, 2 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

I removed the statement at the first of the article unless a valid source can be provided. The link that was there was a dead link. I also removed the part close to the end of the article, because the staement made had absolutely nothing to do with the role she was playing.Aladdin Zane 19:56, 2 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

Why does she play Miss Puerto Rico? When she`s not from Puerto Rico?

• Because they were passing hot women who could pass as Puerto Rican. pattersonc 21:16, 3 April 2006 (UTC)Reply

Because it was a MOVIE, she was playing the part she was hired for.Aladdin Zane 19:54, 2 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

Why does Anthony Hopkins play a serial killer and Sean Connery a secret agent in movies? Because THEY ARE ACTING! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.105.163.162 (talk) 09:05, 11 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

"Scherzinger" is a typical southern German and Swiss-German surname. It is derived from the Swiss town "Scherzingen", which is located in the border region of Germany and Switzerland.

Scherzinger is her stepfather's name, and her mother is half Hawaiian.

• I have re-inserted her stepfather's name (Gary Scherzinger), as I think it is elevant to her bio to know that she uses his name and not her biological father's surname. Someone keeps anonymously removing his surname, perhaps they think it is just a style issue? This might be solved if someone knows Nicole's biological father's name & adds it to the bio. Design 12:51, 8 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

This article needs to be edited. Her biological father is Filipino and her mother is Hawiian and Russian. Her stepfather is of European decent however. http://www.nicole-scherzinger.net/bio/bio.html

Popdirt confirmed that the story that said Nicole was leaving the group was fake. http://popdirt.com/article47271.html She is planning on releasing a solo CD, however.man I heard she was from minnesota.

She does not have enough range to have her even being thought of as a whistle register-cabable singer. Maybe Melody from PCD but I havent heard anything from her that would make me believe it. Myke 23:59, 19 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Thats weird she never sings high at all but she does use whistle register. Myke 01:30, 20 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

in the song 1000 words and the song let me know whats happen

Please cite a reputable media source stating that she has the ability to whistle-sing. Wikipedia does not encourage original research, which is what this claim currently is. I've removed it as an unverified fact. Cheers, --Marysunshine 03:08, 5 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

There is still an "edit war" occurring, where anon. users replace "cat:whistle register singers" without a source. So far all we have is seemingly "original research" about Scherzinger's voice in the songs "1000 Words" and "Let Me Know What Happens". See comment above by Marysunshine. The cat. should be removed until verified. --Design 03:29, 19 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Why do people continue to argue about these whistle register singers. Everybody just needs to go ahead and admit that the talent is not as rare as it supposely was. Most females have the talent now, so its shouldn't be a big deal.<unsigned>

Scherzinger may have this range, but no-one has provided a citation yet. WP:NOR. --Design 00:14, 9 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

She sang with this artist. Can it be added in the career section somewhere??

Done --Design 01:57, 20 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Who the heck keeps changing her dating stats to Talan and Avant. There's no proof. If either one was true at least wait until they come out with it.

This article is currently undergoing a edit war. Some anon. editors are de-linking most of the text, removing relevant biographical material (her studies), and also adding errors (she sang on the album Days of the New II, not their first album), and so on.

Can somebody?!?! That picture of her is awful and she needs and new one. 69.47.130.72 01:55, 21 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

I agree unsigned

would it be possible to have a picture that idenifies her instead of a group picture unsigned

I changed the picture..Check it out...I'm certain that it wont be deleted as the source is pretty legitimate...unsigned

Think again...It's not a free image, so it's gonna get deleted. You can't use a non-free image (like a fairuse one) just to see what a person looks like. Ta-ni-ni 14:51, 14 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

how is it a non-free image?

The intro used to say that she was "often known as Nicki Zinger", yet this usage only has one Google hit. I've removed it: one cite does not seem enough to support an AKA claim. -- The Anome 06:38, 5 September 2006 (UTC)Reply

Well , I'm the webmaster of Nicolefan.com and everytime i add my web to the wikipedia's page somebody delete my message but the question is... why i can't put my website but sites like pcd spain or nicole-scherzinger.net yes? <<

This article needs reliable sources for her birth name. Was it Nicole Yao Prescovia, or something else? --Design 02:39, 22 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

The infobox has "Scherzinger" as her birth name. Is this correct? If Gary Scherzinger is her stepfather, did she take his surname after her birth? Was her birth name "Valiente"?--Design 19:51, 12 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

IT said a while ago she dated 50 Cent. That true? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Elif4ziggan (talk • contribs) 14:02, 9 April 2007 (UTC).Reply

Can we change this picture? You can barely see her face in it.

Can we have a vote on this please? The table of "Duets and guest appearances" is currently hidden from view. I think it should be tidied up and made visible. Is there a better discographical format for this info? A discography is certainly relevant. --Design 13:48, 18 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Nicole Scherzinger discography needs some editing work. Could someone please tidy it up? It currently lists numerous unreleased tracks, is this appropriate? Also re SINGLES: "Lie About Us" and "Come to Me" were both charting singles feat. Nicole.

Has Baby Love flopped aswell? The chart positions seem very low. Shouldn't we also include her solo album venture being something of a failure? She's had three singles released, each tanking and her album hasn't even been released yet? CandiceWalsh 16:59, 22 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

Is that really her full name?

Did she guest sing in any of will.i.am's songs? Or was that Fergie? Yellowstone County Girl 04:27, 15 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

There are some discrepencies here; If "Supervillian" and "Puakenikeni" were both released on iTunes then I think they should both be listed in the Pussycat Dolls article, the Nicole Scherzinger article, Nicole Scherzinger discography and the Template:Nicole Scherzinger. They are already mentioned in Her Name is Nicole. --Design (talk) 10:01, 27 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

I just checked the U.S iTunes and all four of her singles are still available, with artwork. --Design (talk) 10:07, 27 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

I have added the two download only singles and references for both. Please discuss here if you disagree.--Design (talk) 11:00, 7 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

Was "Rio" a free or a paid download from Amplified.com? I can't access the site at http://www.amplified.com/caress could someone else please clarify this?--Design (talk) 04:56, 12 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

Hey, Just Looked under her Solo Album section and at the bottom it says she officially announced the release date. I can't find that announcement anywhere so if it is true we need a citation and if it isn't true, it should be deleted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.78.5.224 (talk) 02:08, 30 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

Currently "Yes We Can" is listed here as a 'Featured Single', but I don't think it fits this category. "Yes We Can" has over 20 guest vocalists. I think it belongs on her discography page but not listed here as a 'Featured Single'. Any consensus on this?--Design (talk) 11:43, 13 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

Oh, also it's not a released single, at present it's a music video.--Design (talk) 11:54, 13 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

I have changed wording in the article from "singer-songwriter" to "singer, songwriter" because she does not fit in the current wikipedia definition of a "singer-songwriter". This is not a criticism, I see it as a clarification.--Design (talk) 10:38, 30 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

I changed all the pictures on all the Pussycat doll pages to more recent current p —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mr.Meloni (talk • contribs) 18:28, 17 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

The current images we have of all the Dolls are free images (meaning they have no copyright issues), and take priority over non-free images or how recent a picture is. The image for Melody Thornton, judging by the wording on the picture, looks like it came from a website, and therefore, the image is very much likely not-free: unfree images should not be used to depict living people. If we have an image that is out of date but free, then it takes place over an image that is recent but copyrighted. Finally, please don't undo people's edits without explanation: reversion in that way implies the edit you reverted was vandalism. Thanks. Acalamari 19:22, 17 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

Indeed. I did some digging and 6 of the 8 images uploaded are confirmed copyvios as having originally come from Getty Images, and the Melody Thornton image that Acalamari mentioned is among the six. I fully expect the other two images are also copyvios as well. Tabercil (talk) 22:25, 17 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

In "I hate this part", Nicole was seen playing the piano^[1]. Seeing that there is no instrument section on the infobox and I don't know why the update doesn't show up, can somebody please update accordingly?TimHowardII (talk) 08:06, 12 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

How is her surname pronounced in the US? It's a German name and we pronounce it "shairtsinga". Would be worth adding an IPA. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.176.76.218 (talk) 02:03, 14 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

An anonymous editor keeps adding a partially complete section called "Guest appearances" to the short discography in this article. I think this section should be deleted as it exists in more complete form at Nicole Scherzinger discography. I regard it as uneccessary duplication. The fact that Nicole has made many guest appearances on other artists' releases is mentioned in the body of the article. Can we vote on this? --Design (talk) 20:53, 2 February 2009 (UTC)Reply

Hi there, I hope I can be of some help. It seems that this dispute involves one registered editor and one anonymous IP editor. Design would you please confirm that this is the case. There is talk about leaving a message for the anonymous IP editor on their talk page, but I am unsure how this would work as they are unregistered and would not check it. I am not sure that they would even have a talk page. Can someone provide me a link? It is hard to mediate between a registered user and anonymous editor. If the anonymous editor comes to the discussion page I am happy to mediate. Until then, I am happy to work with you Design to find a solutioin. With that in mind I have a few questions to help me understand what is going on.

1. Has the IP editor been repeatedly reverting the same exact edits or are there multiple things they are changing?

2. What is the timeline on the edit reverts? Has the page been reverted by the anonymous user since you requested mediation?

3. Is there a difference of opinion over the substance of the article or in your opinion is the anonymous IP editor simply vandalizing the page?

Hopefully the anonymous editor will come to the table and discuss the edits. If they do not and this pattern continues we can discuss other solutions. Wikipediatoperfection (talk) 20:20, 20 March 2009 (UTC)Reply
