I frankly have a problem with this sentence in the opening lead: Sometimes called the Goddess of Pop, she has been described as embodying female autonomy in a male-dominated industry.
This seems like pretty blatant
MoS: Puffery. Who exactly calls her the "Goddess of Pop," and couldn't this be applied to dozens of other female pop artists (e.g. Mariah Carey, Madonna—the list goes on). How does Cher "embody female autonomy in a male-dominated industry," exactly? This seems far too promotional and reaching to situate Cher as a feminist hero rather than a successful musician and actress. Thoughts? --

Sometimes called the Goddess of Pop..... The fact that these things have been said of her is worth noting to some degree, but it being the second sentence you read in the article lead is ill-fitting. -- Drown Soda ( talk) 23:33, 18 April 2018 (UTC)
Might want to update the politics section to include mention of the fact she campaigned for Hillary Clinton in 2016. Also, might be worth incorporating this image of her at the 2017 Women's March on Washington. SecretName101 ( talk) 06:07, 26 May 2018 (UTC)
There seems to be some confusion about the year of the divorce from Allman - some sources say 1978, others 1979. See the Gregg Allman article. On the whole, 1978 seems to be the correct year. Perhaps someone can find a solid citation and reconcile the Cher/Allman article years. Bdushaw ( talk) 12:08, 7 August 2018 (UTC)
Article says:
So Cher's mother has no Armenian, which implies she could not be more than 1/2 Armenian? But then the Father is "Armenian-American." So if that means the father is part Armenian and part non-Armenian American, Cher would be less than 1/2 Armenian in ancestry? Sounds like Cher is predominantly melting pot American. ( PeacePeace ( talk) 07:02, 28 December 2018 (UTC))
Perhaps she identifies as Armenian more than anything else 😉 Nickwilso ( talk) 08:15, 7 January 2019 (UTC)

On the page, it says "six-decade-long career", however, according to the years active section, "Years active 1963–present", it hasn't been 6 decades yet. It's saying that it's only been 55-6.🤔 GOLDIEM J ( talk) 05:10, 14 May 2019 (UTC)

Please change Cher's main photo on wikipedia to a more up to date one, I have uploaded a much more up to date photo from 2010 at the Golden globes here is the link below:

In the occupation section it should say that she is a director since she directed “If These Walls Could Talk” Jessicasliwoski ( talk) 22:04, 10 April 2020 (UTC)
In the section "2018–present", it states Cher's current tour will end on May 6, 2020. However, due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, the end date has been rescheduled to December 5, 2020. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.213.238.206 ( talk) 17:09, 29 April 2020 (UTC)

I noticed the lede paragraph doesnt have any citations for some of the statements, I personally have never heard auto tune being called the cher effect. Thoughts on lack of citations? Eruditess ( talk) 22:50, 16 July 2020 (UTC)
First, I will say to Elliott, we (Wikipedians) are thankful you chose to "adopt" an article and make it your pet project, so to speak. This in itself doesn't make your edits extremely accurate or correct however. Kudos and congrats to you for being bilingual. To begin. One of your biggest errors is overusage of commas: see the following link. https://courses.lumenlearning.com/olemiss-writing100/chapter/comma-overuse A good beginning place or jumping-off point would be to see you are using commas too often. I will congratulate you for finding references that talk about Cher. Evidently you have a great appreciation and liking for this topic and similar people.

Can we agree to change the incorrect figure of $180 million for $60 million? The show made $97 million so it is impossible that Cher was paid $180 million for the residency. StephenN17 ( talk) 18:24, 19 March 2021 (UTC)
It's not about guesswork, the original sources all stated $60 million, all Vanity Fair did was write 'per year' which was obviously them not doing their homework and stating incorrect information. I wouldn't call Vanity Fair a reliable source anyway so it should obviously be changed. StephenN17 ( talk) 12:37, 20 March 2021 (UTC)
Well I did change it before with a different source and you reverted it back. StephenN17 ( talk) 17:48, 20 March 2021 (UTC)
I cannot seem to find a mention of this whatsoever in the article. I know she never got charged for it. I am not sure where it belongs in the article either

A 16-year- old Cher was working at See's when she met Sonny Bono and left her job to move in with him as his housekeeper.
Though See's doesn't give public tours of its plants, famous fans like Cher — who worked at See's before she met Sonny Bono — have visited, and Buffett once brought Bill Gates along for a tour.
This article is far too large and comes off as a puff piece as if written by Cher herself or her PR team.
Why would an article on Cher be larger than an article on WW2? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2603:8000:5B02:703C:94B4:DBAB:E093:20A4 ( talk) 07:31, 31 July 2021 (UTC)
You state in Cher's bio that they were married in 1969, yet in your article state that she was 1/2 of the Sonny and Cher husband and wife team in 1965. Just a little bit of discrepancy there. Tributeartist56 ( talk) 05:24, 21 July 2021 (UTC)
The marriage date used should be the actual marriage date with a note in the text that they had an unofficial wedding date prior to the marriage date. Whichever you choose, that is what should be used in both pages. Sonny's page and Cher's page are not the same and for accuracy should be changed to reflect the same time(s). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:248:4400:F4F0:8C28:9387:4C64:9054 ( talk) 22:38, 1 August 2021 (UTC)

Cher was married to Sonny in 1964 2603:8001:BC07:84E3:98B8:EE0E:DD01:6294 ( talk) 05:03, 22 September 2021 (UTC)
Consider the following sentence fragment:
The final ", and Cher" easily comes across as detritus, some left-over words from somewhere else. Now formatting and linking reveals the message here - that "Cher" refers to the eponymous tv show, but that's easily missed, and it's bad copyediting to rely on wiki markup to convey what we can and should convey using words.
We should reword this to avoid that hanging small sentence fragment at the very end. Now, my attempt at fixing this was reverted, so I invite you to come up with your own suggested solution. Cheers CapnZapp ( talk) 18:26, 12 October 2021 (UTC)

I have no interest in weighing in on transgender issues but it's confusing as hell when such transitions are retroactively applied. Rewriting history does not benefit anyone and there simply is no history of a young "Chaz" appearing on TV with Sonny and Cher
I can only assume this is why the page was locked but perhaps rewriting it to address this might alleviate the problem. 2001:8004:2731:CE21:D953:71AF:6DC9:1C86 ( talk) 02:14, 19 December 2021 (UTC)
I have heard of her name looks similar to the department of France, Cher. I want to move that title Cher to Cher (singer). 2001:448A:11AA:154A:D9BE:9016:9A7:9B71 ( talk) 12:59, 8 May 2023 (UTC)

In the following sentence, the text "whvich" appears to be a typo and should be changed to "which":
"A portion of the proceeds was donated to Gender Spectrum, a charity whvich works with LGBTQIA+ children and young people."
