Not Russian[edit]

If someone could please remove her as being Russian. She was not born in Russia, she does not have Russian citizenship and she doesn't consider herself as such.

Born in Israel, she moved there for a bit due to her dad's work and she sang there. As this article says: https://www.thejc.com/news/israel/eden-golan-israels-eurovision-entry-determined-to-perform-in-the-face-of-death-threats-i8lx5bsj

Golan, who grew up partly in Russia attending an English-speaking school, first performed to thousands at the age of 11 when she was Russia’s representative in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest, finishing fifth. In 2018, she appeared on a Russian version of The Voice and was put into a girl band called The Cosmos Girls, but her family moved back to Israel after the invasion of Ukraine in 2022. While a star in Russia, she experienced antisemitism there. Reflecting on her time there, she says: “I always felt like an outsider there; I was never really a part of them.”

There's a lot of misinformaton swirling round and this is part of it. MaskedSinger (talk) 11:55, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I see. But there are two sources calling her a Russian-Israeli singer (Euronews and Voice of America). The source provided by you here, as it seems, does not point clearly whether she has the Russian passport.
In Russia, you can get passport when you turn 14, re-newing it right after turning 20 and 45. Seems plausible that she might have gotten the local citizenship in 14 (this does not contradict the statements from the sources) if she was going to keep on living and working in Russia. But since she relocated to Israel in 2022 when she was 19, it was her choice to renew the citizenship or not.
I admit that she may not have the double citizenship now, and I am going to fix the descriptions. But I am not sure that she never had the Russian citizenship, so, is it a compromise to rank that citizenship statement as just deprecated, without removal?

P.S. I was never really a part of them does not necessarily implies that she did not use to be a citizen, you know... --Wolverène (talk) 14:16, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you @Wolverène This is indeed complicated due to a lot of misinformation. MaskedSinger (talk) 14:30, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What do you think?.. --Wolverène (talk) 14:26, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Its great. Note on her knowledge panel, its says Israeli/Russian. What do we have to tweak so that it only says Israeli? MaskedSinger (talk) 14:32, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Well... if you mean Google knowledge graph, I am able to see just her occupation, currently. Anyways, it will take up to several days to make that panel updated automatically. If it will still not work properly, we may try to report an issue at WD:RATP. --Wolverène (talk) 14:42, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
