The article title

I think it's actually wrong. Oops? :-) Her artist name is Robyn, her real name is Robin Carlsson. Naming this article Robyn Carlsson seems clearly wrong to me. I noticed a redirect at Robin Carlsson was missing as well. Can this one just be renamed to that, with the Robyn article fixed to redirect to such a new name? -- Jugalator 01:42, July 26, 2005 (UTC)

Personal Life clarification

In the personal life section, it currently reads: "She and Vitali separated for a period of time following the release of Body Talk, but had reconciled by 2018." But Body Talk had came out in 2010, while she was still engaged to her earlier partner. The line this is pulling from in the article was simply saying that if she had kept with her work rate, she would've been on Body Talk 60 by the time of the article's release.

"Had Robyn maintained that work rate – three releases every five months – Body Talk 60 would now be on the way. Clearly, that is unsustainable. Even so, she did not intend to wait so long before releasing another album, but then her long-term relationship with film-maker Max Vitali fell apart, her friend Christian Falk died, and grief forced her into a period of contemplation that would transform her approach to making music."

Essentially, this part is technically correct, as 2014 seems to be when they first separated (based on a quote later in the article) and 2014 is after Body Talk was released, but that's a four year difference so it feels odd to use that album as the signifier of time, at least, in my opinion, but maybe that's just my own personal misgivings with it.

Robyn has wrong personal data associated!

Personal data associated with Robyn is incorrect! It is not "Robin Miriam Carlsson" (b. June 12, 1979) who is Robyn, but Martin Vikene (b. September 29, 1975)!
