Will vs. Scheduled to

One part of this wiki page said:

"The two will release their debut album, "One Reason" on Oct. 6, 2009."

It's a lot safer to write it this way:

The two are scheduled to release their debut album, "One Reason" on October 6, 2009.

This style should be adopted when talking about anything in the future, no matter how certain the future event may seem.

When you say "will release," there is a chance of the article becoming inaccurate. For all we know, one of the artists could pass away (pushing back or eliminating the release date), the album could be scrapped, or any number of other things could happen to cause that date to change.

When we say "scheduled to release," we leave open the possibility that the date could change, therefore making the article more factually accurate. This is a more concise writing style.

Notice I've also changed "October 6, 2009" to "Oct. 6, 2009."

The following is an example of correct formatting for October (used in different contexts):

October October 2009 Oct. 22, 2009

The general rule is to abbreviate months with specific dates, except for March, April, May, June and July. If you're using dates within a sentence, place commas after the date and after the year.

Example:

December December 2008 Dec. 1, 2008

April April 2008 April 1, 2008

Why should polysyllabic month names be abbreviated?

Moot Point

The "will release" has since been updated with a "released" date, which was earlier, undoubtably because of the release of her sister Mackenzie's book. Of course, this underscores the need for caution in the way forward-looking statements are used. A planned release date was brought forward so that the release of the album would not be in the shadows of ongoing allegations. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ricgal (talk • contribs) 17:12, 19 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Urgent update regarding TikTok virality

Phillips has become a TikTok trend after she appeared on Celebrity Family Feud and sang the words ‘Holy Spirit activate’ before beginning the final round^[1]. It is used on TikTok to describe something that someone might need ‘divine intervention’ to ‘survive’, such as an awkward conversation or a nerve-wracking experience. I don’t know how this should be addressed within this article, he it a whole new section or just a quick sentence, but I think something should be done. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Givemesomesteviewonder (talk • contribs) 11:30, 6 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Eccentric spelling of name

Why Geneviève Waïte? Her own article gives her name as Genevieve Waite (née Weight). I know the folly of presuming to pronounce personal names as they are spelt, but following the pronunciation scheme as diacriticised, her name would read zhen-ev-i-ev wa-eet.
