LOVE IT! (Images?)[edit]

Excellent work, Calvin! Are there any free images of the white spandex/latex/pleather outfit she wears when performing the song? Or at least the tuxedo?--mikomango mwa! 20:25, 6 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Bare with me, I might be able to get one. But I am seeing her again in November (meeting her!), so I will definitely have pictures. Calvin • ^NaNaNaC'mon! 22:47, 6 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

She is so nice to her fans!!! You will have a BLAST!--mikomango mwa! 22:52, 17 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

My favorite article right now! (Free Armani images?)[edit]

I love this article, thank you so much for creating it. In addition to the images of her in the white latex outfit (HOT!!!) are there any free images from the Armani commercial? She looks SO HOT in that commercial!!!--mikomango mwa! 22:51, 17 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You are aware this is not a forum right? — Status {^talk_contribs 16:50, 29 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

None of the Armani campaign, pictures or video stills, are allowed. If you can find one of Rihanna being photographed whilst on set, which is not an official Armani picture, then that is allowed. But I haven't found one so far. I am seeing her in concert in a few weeks, so I will get some pics and upload them to see which should be used.

Lead[edit]

Hey there again :-)

Comments from AJona1992

According to this report there is one DABLINK. Please fix
"The song was included on the set list of the Loud Tour (2011, where" - something is missing ;-)
The lead is well written, however, too many sentences start with "The song", needs variety.
"while the song is instrumentally complete" - sounds POV-ish
"the majority praised the its musical structure as well as Rihanna's vocal performance" - something is missing ;-)
"The song was also used in Rihanna's advertisement campaign for Armani Jeans and Emporio Armani Underwear - lets start this off with "Skin".
FN#16 publisher?
I don't know the publisher. I went on their website and I couldn't find one. Calvin • ^{Watch n' Learn}
FN#25 publisher?
FN#28 its title "Britney Spears, Rihanna Kick Off Billboard Music Awards" --> "Britney Spears, Rihanna Kick Off Billboard Music Awards"
FN#31 be consistent in weather or not you provide publishers for newspapers, compare with FN#22 and FN#23.
Overall the article is well written, just these minor tweaks should be fixed before passing. Best, Jona yo! ^{Selena 4 ever} 01:34, 20 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Done all. One reply. Calvin • ^{Watch n' Learn} 14:49, 20 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Alright, I'll now do a spotcheck and make sure all sources verify claims. BRB, Jona yo! ^{Selena 4 ever}

Everything checks out, offline sources are in good faith will pass. Congrats, Jona yo! ^{Selena 4 ever} 15:22, 20 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. Calvin • ^{Watch n' Learn} 15:24, 20 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Picture of Armani[edit]

Could this pic be used? It's a pic taken of Rihanna whilst on set. Aaron • ^{You Da One} 23:39, 10 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
