Talk:Norah Jones

In the picture, does Norah not seem to have somthing huge stuck in her right cheek ? No, in my opinion she looks normal (cute as always)

Remarkable!! This something-stuck-in-the-cheek thing is also visible in Katie Couric who apparently prefers to have her right cheek facing the camera.

MOSBIO

See MOSBIO. " Ethnicity should generally not be emphasized in the opening unless it is relevant to the subject's notability.)

In Norah's case , this exception applies. Bharatveer 09:46, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

No, it definitely does not apply in her case. Norah's part-Indian ethnicity is not relevant to her notability. She rarely mentions her Indian ethnicity in interviews. This exception applies for people like Rosa Parks. Also, it is POV to only mention half of her ethnicity when she is mixed. --musicpvm 16:57, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

I agree with musicpvm - her ethnicity has nothing to do with her career. Her relationship to Ravi does bear on her initial success, but that's not an ethnic connection: it's having a friend in the business.

While we're here, can someone explain in what way Norah is a "Yamaha artist"? (Note recent category addition.) - Corporal Tunnel 20:39, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

I'm not sure about that. The Yamaha Artist article states "Yamaha Artist refers to musical instrumentalists (or artists) who choose, officially, to play any of a large group of Yamaha musical instruments". I don't know if that is true in her case though. --musicpvm 03:48, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

Anglo-Indian - re: categories

I can not see any mention anywhere of Norah Jones having English or generally British ancestry, American ancestry in itself cannot even in the broader use of the term Anglo-Indian be considered to be equivalent. The term has always referred to those with usually English but sometimes more broadly British ancestry from families either who lived for a number of years in India and/or had ancestry from longstanding Indian groups. The Indian Government defines Anglo-Indian as being those of families that combined Indian and British ancestry and lived in India.--Lord of the Isles 15:55, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Photo

I have added a place holder photo of Norah (her first CD's cover) to replace the one deleted on November 7th. The photo has been sourced from her own publicity site.

This photo is as low res as one can get, so would be good if someone could upload a decent, appropriately licensed photo ASAP.

More updates

Unsure why the {{cleanup|February 2007}} tag is in place, since the article is in a pretty good shape.

Have broken up some lengthy sections with sub-headings, moved a few paragraphs around to make more logical sense.

Also replaced the photo with a higher resolution one (from the same source - Norah's publicity site) to address the "bulging cheek" problem :) that was probably the result of pixelation. She is round-faced, and she is cute - live with it. :)

Anything else that could be done to justify removing the {{cleanup|February 2007}} tag?

Achitnis 12:35, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Unless there is a clear shopping list of improvements needed for this article, I would like to remove the {{cleanup|February 2007}} tag. Achitnis 09:28, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Clearing {{cleanup|February 2007}} tag. If further improvements are needed, please put a note here in the talk page. Achitnis 07:08, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Here's something that should be cleaned up before the cleanup tag is removed: WTF is this? "before recording any official songs" -- WTF is an "official song"??

It's called "wikipedia" because it is a wiki! :) If there was an obvious language issue, you could have fixed as well anyone else. IAC, have done so now, and even linked the term "recording artist" to the relevant article. :) Achitnis 12:03, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
