Not done. The single source you have provided - which appears to be an unreliable tabloid - says that is disputed. — Manticore 03:27, 21 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrect information[edit]

Iggy has 2 children, one with Nick Young and one with Playboy Carti. The child is correctly referenced on Nicks page, but is entirely missing from here, where it states that she only has one child. 81.2.155.230 (talk) 22:49, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: Edits must be presented in a manner which provides the exact text to be inserted, along with other considerations. Simply asking volunteer editors to "Add to controversies section" is not permitted. Also, while I'm not sure if there is any guideline which supports me here, I'm uncomfortable slapping categories such as Category:OnlyFans creators without there being prose with inline citations in the article supporting that - which none of the 6 edit requests have provided. —Sirdog (talk) 03:56, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Remove her from these categories.[edit]

Remove Pop-rap and its source and change it to Hip hop as pop-rap is referring to a couple of songs and not her music as a whole. 109.144.220.218 (talk) 08:20, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Change and remove Pop-rap and its source from the info box and replace it with Hip hop as pop-rap is referring to a couple of songs and not her music as a whole, whereas the other sources call her a hip hop artist instead. Ninacaliente (talk) 19:08, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done for now: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the {{Edit extended-protected}} template. Aoi (青い) (talk) 19:51, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Facepalm It seems that you just copied and pasted a declined request. thetechie@enwiki: ~/talk/ $ 21:21, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

And DO NOT add a "references" template, as you did at this talk page and mine. Please format your references as a list of links (in the edit requests) in the future, to avoid adding a references template at the bottom that clogs resources. thetechie@enwiki: ~/talk/ $ 21:26, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have removed your references for this reason. thetechie@enwiki: ~/talk/ $ 21:29, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Feel free to add them again if you listen to the instructions I gave you. thetechie@enwiki: ~/talk/ $ 21:30, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
