Beyoncé genres

Your statement "but what about Lady Gaga???" is a prime example of Wikipedia:OTHERSTUFF. Please check Wikipedia's WP: EXPLICITGENRE, or i will have to take this situation into an administrator report. DollysOnMyMind (talk) 07:49, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent editing history at List of best-selling music artists shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war; read about how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Hello, I'm Qaqaamba. I noticed that you removed topically relevant content from Beyoncé. However, Wikipedia is not censored. Please do not remove or censor information that directly relates to the subject of the article. If the content in question involves images, you have the option to configure Wikipedia to hide images that you may find offensive. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Please stop. If you continue to violate Wikipedia's no original research policy by adding your personal analysis or synthesis into articles, as you did at The Eras Tour, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not add about the Paris show being an exception. That has discussed already, and we need to stick to the sources provided, as all of the sources state it so. If none of the sources say anything about it being an arena or an exception, that statement should not be included. HorrorLover555 (talk) 12:54, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You are suspected of sockpuppetry, which means that someone suspects you of using multiple Wikipedia accounts for prohibited purposes.

Beyonce first paragraph

Hello @Newpicarchive. I notice that you are very active on Beyonce articles so i hope you don't mind me approaching you specifically, to get your opinion. There has been a change in the lede paragraph and it now reads as the following:

"Nicknamed "Queen Bey", she is regarded as a prominent cultural figure of the 21st century. Throughout her two-decade career, Beyoncé has been recognized for her distinctive vocal range and live concert performances. Rolling Stone named her the world's greatest living entertainer in 2022, and one of the greatest vocalists of all time in 2023."

I think the specific reference to her distinctive vocal range and live concerts is a good addition. But i'm not sure if the whole thing gels and of course, her career has been longer than 2 decades. I may open up a discussion on the talkpage, because i don't think we as a collective have gotten the lede paragraph quite right. IMO, it doesn't easily "flow". How about something like this as an alternative:

"Beyoncé Giselle Knowles-Carter (/biˈɒnseɪ/ ⓘ bee-ON-say;[6] née Knowles; born September 4, 1981)[7] is an American singer, songwriter, and businesswoman. Nicknamed "Queen Bey", she has been noted for her distinctive vocal range, artistic versatility and live concert performances. Regarded as a prominent cultural figure, Rolling Stone named her the world's greatest living entertainer and one of the greatest vocalists of all time."

or maybe something like this?

"Beyoncé Giselle Knowles-Carter (/biˈɒnseɪ/ ⓘ bee-ON-say;[1] née Knowles; born September 4, 1981)[2] is an American singer, songwriter, and businesswoman. Nicknamed "Queen Bey" and the "First Lady of Music", she is often regarded as a prominent cultural figure. Noted for her distinctive vocal range, versatility and live concert performances, Rolling Stone named her the world's greatest living entertainer in 2022, and one of the greatest vocalists of all time".

I would love to get your opinion and any suggestions of your own, or do you think the current lede is fine as it is and she be left alone?. Look forward to a reply. Many thanks Koppite1 (talk) 09:33, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I believe the last submission is more appropriate, neutral and straightforward. Also it would be more accurate to state that she is one of the highest-selling artists in history with 200 Million records sold, as this is a more objective claim than the title "The Greatest Vocalist/Entertainer of All Time" given to her by Rolling Stone. While I personally agree with that title/statement, but it is ultimately subjective. Newpicarchive (talk) 20:35, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your response. I agree that it would be preferable to have facts in the first paragraph of the lede, as opposed to subjective opinions which is what the Rolling Stone ranking is. The first sentence in the last paragraph of the lede reads "Having sold 200 million records worldwide, Beyoncé is one of the best-selling music artists of all time". Perhaps that should moved to the first paragraph of the lede, replacing the Rolling Stone accolade? So, using the current opening paragraph, it would now read:

Beyoncé Giselle Knowles-Carter (/biˈɒnseɪ/ ⓘ bee-ON-say; née Knowles; born September 4, 1981) is an American singer, songwriter, and businesswoman. Nicknamed "Queen Bey", she is regarded as a prominent cultural figure of the 21st century. Throughout her two-decade career, Beyoncé has been recognized for her distinctive vocal range and live concert performances. Having sold 200 million records worldwide, Beyoncé is one of the best-selling music artists of all time.

I would then propose to put the Rolling Stone sentence at the bottom of the lede, just before "Time included her as one of the 100 women who has so far defined the 21st century."

I would appreciate your opinion on this. Thank you. Koppite1 (talk) 20:38, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
