Adele is one of the only two British Artists, alongside with Jacob Collier, to win at least one GRAMMY Award for each of her first four albums. 2804:14D:5880:8BA8:286F:BD18:8C8C:9D02 (talk) 19:14, 8 February 2023 (UTC)

 Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. Hey man im josh (talk) 19:24, 8 February 2023 (UTC)

Mononymous?

Is it really necessary to state "known mononymously as Adele" when the title and the manual style of the article make it very clear that is she known mononymously as Adele? It seems extremely redunant. Articles like the other female singers Madonna and Beyonce don't mention those musicians being known mononymously because it's obvious and so is the case with Adele.Abdul Akter (talk) 21:39, 23 February 2023 (UTC)

Can I talk to Adele directly 2603:6000:8F00:8374:90D1:D2C9:9321:A3D9 (talk) 17:58, 17 March 2023 (UTC)

Not on Wikipedia. See Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not#FORUM. This page is not a forum for general discussion about Adele, nor can Wikipedia or the Wikimedia Foundation put you in contact with Adele.

Fix typo

There is a typo around Adele’s early life wrt her moms job as an adult activity organiser. 122.106.100.12 (talk) 01:38, 18 March 2023 (UTC)

I was wondering what an activitorganizeriser does! 2600:1700:37B0:D470:9CE6:1830:65C7:89EA (talk) 14:27, 18 March 2023 (UTC)

Various spelling errors

Has someone hacked this page? There are a lot of spelling problems 2403:5809:8C20:0:A46C:3320:9A8A:4B00 (talk) 03:19, 19 March 2023 (UTC)

Could you give some specific examples? —C.Fred (talk) 03:25, 19 March 2023 (UTC)

A whole host of errors were introduced in this edit [1] . I have reverted in this edit [2] to the previous version, dated 9-Mar-2023. Unfortunately that means a couple of constructive edits since that time will have to be redone. Adpete (talk) 11:12, 19 March 2023 (UTC)

Vandalism

As a non Autoconfirmed user, did vandalism just occur? 3vvww661 (talk) 02:24, 28 May 2023 (UTC)

Houston

A USA Today story quotes Adele: "I taught myself how to sing by listening to Ella Fitzgerald for acrobatics and scales, Etta James for passion and Roberta Flack for control." Note the absence there of any mention of Whitney Houston. To suggest that she says in that article that she credits Houston too for acrobatics and scales (or indeed for anything) falsifies the cited source. Repeating this falsification will lead to a block. -- Hoary (talk) 01:53, 14 June 2023 (UTC)

Reversion & Restoration

I just rolled back a reversion by user @FrankDay25, while keeping edits by user @Russell7890. Looking at Frank's edits it is unclear why they have been made, and until further explanation I have restored the page to its original state. Frank's reversion makes several choices I would disagree with, such as rolling back @Tacyarg's privacy edit for her son's DOB. As well as deleting important, cited, and current information on the state of her residency. I think Russell's edits are important, so I have bundled them with this restoration as well as to not lose them. If I'm missing something please let me know! SSR07 (talk) 04:31, 24 June 2023 (UTC)

Videography

I think there should be a separate videography page like every other singer. GamerKlim9716 (talk) 20:53, 19 November 2023 (UTC)

"Known mononymously as Adele"

Please do not remove this line from the lead. It has been removed twice already in the past couple months with little to no explanation. Historically this line has been included in this article, as well as in several forms for other mononymous artists. If you have strong feelings against keeping the line, begin a discussion here to avoid an edit war. SSR07 (talk) 21:19, 5 August 2023 (UTC)

The article page being named simply "Adele" already makes it quite clear she's known by that. Furthermore, using one's first name in opening sentence more than once is needlessly repetitive, so there's no good reason to keep in the "known mononymously" bit. Whoever added this to the opening sentence shouldn't have done so, even when I'm sure it was done with good intentions. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 16:30, 9 October 2023 (UTC)

There’s nothing wrong with using someone’s name more than once in the opening sentence, but you are right that the title of the article makes it obvious that she’s known mononymously by her first name.--QueenCoatsie (talk) 23:52, 19 November 2023 (UTC)

Concerts in Munich

According to Spiegel Online, Adele will perform ten concerts in Munich in August this year. --Goroth (talk) 19:32, 8 February 2024 (UTC)

This is already covered in this section, although I am going to update it again. greyzxq ^talk 19:42, 8 February 2024 (UTC)
