Pronouns?

I noticed that on Facebook, Rihanna uses "they" pronouns, as in "Rihanna updated their profile picture". This doesn't seem to be reflected in the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 14.2.139.138 (talk) 04:59, 1 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I mean who cares? Can you link me to a WP that says stuff about pronouns, please? Leggomygreggo8 (talk) 10:47, 25 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Trans people - especially nonbinary trans people - are underrepresented, and while I can't speak for everyone,I know that I care quite a lot, and all of the people who I know to be trans (and have asked) care. I'm not entirely sure what a "WP" is, but in the manual of style, at least, it seems pretty clear. Maybe Rihanna's not trans, but at the very least, I feel like it's worth mentioning in the article until we know for sure that they're not. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 14.2.172.92 (talk) 07:16, 26 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think it matters. Just leave the article be as to not start a giant edit war. Leggomygreggo8 (talk)

"With sales exceeding 200 million records worldwide, Rihanna is one of the best-selling artists of all time." This is incorrect. According to http://rocnation.com/artists/rihanna/ Rihanna has sold 54 million albums worldwide. From their site: "As an accomplished performer, she has sold 54 million albums and 210 million digital tracks worldwide making her the top-selling digital artist of all time." Tracks are songs, not albums. NHV7 (talk) 20:11, 15 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Tracks/Songs + Albums = Records. So the information is perfectly correct. — Tom^(T2ME) 20:50, 15 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

No singles + albums = records. These are just tracks. Rihanna's 200 million records sales are unreal and unreliable. 200 million records are not sales. 200 million records sales including streams , video plays, etc... She has sold more than 180 million records. 200 million are not sales. —Navyiconer (talk) 14:28, 23 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Rihanna has NOT sold more than 200 million records

Rihanna records sales unreliable and unreal She has sold more than 180 million records not 200 million. Her certificated sales including streams, video plays etc... That's why her certificated sales more than her sales. She has sold more than only 180 million records. 200 million records so unreliable and unreal. 200 million sales inculindg streams, video plays, etc.... ——Navyiconer (talk) 14:41, 23 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
