I cleaned up the external links on 14/02/2007. A russian "portal" had been listing its 3 domain names in the external links section. I guess that fan page with no interesting content trying to abuse Wikipedia doesn't belong there. OrdinaryDay 17:19, 14 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Here we go again... Could someone *else* select the links that should stay and the links that should go? OrdinaryDay 13:49, 22 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]


Is something really very serious here? --Bhadani 11:19, 16 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Biography

This isn't a biography--Domingo Portales 01:47, 3 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It is, or at least the Personal Life section is; a poor one, but we can do little about that, as she is very discreet about her personal life. --Εξαίρετος (msg) 09:10, 3 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know why but 71.52.190.115 (talk · contribs) has been removing the text added by Domingo Portales over and over again [1]; please, 71.52.190.115, I beg you, explain us why. The text is well referenced (what can be better of one of her interviews?), and considering how difficult it is to obtain any data on her personal life, why do you keep removing it? Do you have any reason to doubt the sources? Please explain your edits, or I'll have to keep reverting them. --Εξαίρετος (msg) 18:47, 19 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]


Because it has absolutely nothing to do with her birth. It's about how she was raised *after* her birth. I understand the need to put it somewhere because of the tiny amount of information about her, but it doesn't really fit in the part about her birth. Maybe you could try putting it in the footnote or something. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.52.190.115 (talk • contribs) 00:18, 11 May 2007.

That section is about her personal life, and the part is about her childhood; her birth can be (and is) stated with just one sentence. How she was raised can be considered part of that. Personally, if it wasn't sourced I'd have removed that information myself, but as she said it herself, I don't see any reason to hide it. --Εξαίρετος (msg) 10:06, 11 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]


Well if it means that much to you guys to have it on, then I'm done messing with it. Though in note I didn't say to hide it either. It just seemed best to me to put elsewhere under her pesonal life, only an opinion though.

Fair use rationale for Image:Dolores O'Riordan - Are You Listening.jpg

Image:Dolores O'Riordan - Are You Listening.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Yodeling

Dolores is one best-known singer able to yodel, and she is mentioned in that article, so why not inserting it in the article? Fans should know where, among other of her singing abilities. Sobreira (parlez) 21:01, 29 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

How about changing the template used here to include all of her singing styles and listing them there?Kresock (talk) 22:31, 29 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Irish republican?

Why is she included in the catogery Irish republicans, along with Sinn Fein politicians IRA members and such? Has she made public such a position? If so, that should probably be included in the article if she is to be included in the Irish republicans category.

Hot Press interview in 1994

Since Dolores O'Riordan appeared on the cover of Hot Press at the beginning of the year, her life has changed dramatically on both a personal and professional level. --candle•wicke 09:39, 22 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Source wanted

Resolved

If anyone has access to a back copy of Mademoiselle: The Magazine for the Smart Young Woman, Volume 100 (1994) I think there is a print interview that can be sourced. — xaosflux Talk 21:42, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 17 January 2018

Add this specifics to her early life section:

"Born in Ballybricken, Co Limerick, O’Riordan was the youngest of nine children (two of whom died in infancy) of Terence O’Riordan, a former farm labourer who was left unable to work after an accident, and his wife, Eileen, a school caterer, and went to Laurel Hill, a Roman Catholic school in Limerick."

Reminder about sourcing

Although the subject of this article is dead, her article still gets the protection of BLP. This precludes the use of tabloid sourcing. --John (talk) 18:29, 24 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Images

I think the two detailed images currently, in Solo career and Personal life respectively, are simply too small to be seen clearly. The second one also seems to be out of line with the text chronology. I don't see the benefit in having it left aligned. Martinevans123 (talk) 22:26, 27 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Given that those two images pertain to the same year, 1995, they are aesthetically well-placed, as the images in the article seem to appear at regular intervals. The two left-aligned images are both low-resolution crops of much larger images, at best, or scans from print media, of photos taken from a distance under non-ideal conditions. There is no higher resolution available on Wikimedia Commons. Unfortunately, Commons is stringent about images being free to use, and apparently these two were available for use on Commons. The Pavarotti photo has recently been nominated for deletion. Can you suggest any better images?--Quisqualis (talk) 01:00, 28 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The same year? The caption for the first is "O'Riordan promoting her debut solo album Are You Listening? in 2007." The second should be next to the paragraph that mentions 1995? Sorry no, I can't suggest any others. It has always seemed to me that the insistence on low quality images is in direct conflict with building a high-quality encyclopedia. The quality of that Pavarotti image is truly awful. Martinevans123 (talk) 10:08, 28 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

exact cause of death

Although an official cause of death has yet to be released to the public, some news outlets are reporting that London police found counterfeit fentanyl pills near her bed. I don't want to add this unfounded material as I am not sure how reliable it is. I think we should wait until more comes out before we add anything, the autopsy results are not complete until at least April and they may or may not be made public , I don't think we can rely on unfounded reports police are treating the death as not suspicious and have not stated this in reliable sources so it makers me wonder are these just false allegations please help.
