The contentious topics procedure applies to this article. This article relates to gender-related disputes or controversies or people associated with them.

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.

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 does not match what is 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 of living persons 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 .

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

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) Reply

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) Reply

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

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. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Roachmeister (talk • contribs) 21:15, 4 February 2006 (UTC) Reply

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, 22 August 2007 (UTC) Reply

page is semi-protected and i cannot edit it myself, but i believe the comma in this sentence should be removed:

She wanted to become a singer from the age of eight, when she watched Israeli singer Ofra Haza perform her song "Chai" in the 1983 Eurovision Song Contest. Starwatts (talk) 20:00, 5 February 2025 (UTC) Reply

How was she eight in 1983 if she was born in 1969? In 1983, she was 14, not eight אוהד בר-און (talk) 15:44, 12 March 2025 (UTC) Reply
Honestly, I didn't fact-check the sentence. I'm not interested in the subject, just copy-editing sporadically. Feel free to look into that and edit /request an edit yourself. Cheers. starwater (talk) 20:23, 12 March 2025 (UTC) Reply
Eurovision website suggests both are wrong?

please change the DEAD NAMEING line in the beginning from "Sharon Cohen professionally known as.." to "Dana International formerly known as sharon cohen" how it's written now is trans-pacific and very disrespectful to the person how IS the subject of this page 147.236.230.166 (talk) 06:23, 2 May 2025 (UTC) Reply

Not done: I don't believe Sharon Cohen is her dead name, per the article it's the legal name she chose post reassignment surgery. The way the first sentence is currently worded is similar to Eminem's article, another person whose legal name is dissimilar from their common or stage names Cannolis (talk) 13:41, 2 May 2025 (UTC) Reply
