The rationale behind the request is: "Important".

super bowl

looks like ri has been confirmed as the performer of the the super bowl 57 halftime show as a post of her holding a football has been posted by the nfl, fox (the network who will be broadcasting it) and apple music (whos sponsoring the event) so looks like we should get to adding that quickly 173.54.230.154 (talk) 19:46, 25 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Not without a citation of a reliable source. General Ization ^Talk 20:08, 25 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

also, apparently she was revealed as pregnant again at the super bowl during halftime, so gonna have to add that in there somehow. Iamnotflour (talk) 02:52, 13 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Typo in "2018–present: Hiatus and upcoming ninth studio album" section

I found a grammatical error in the 2018-present section, in this sentence: "Set to mark her's first live performance in over five years, and the end of her previously self-imposed boycott of the event, which she instigated in solidarity with Colin Kaepernick." The her's should be her, without the 's. Moviecat (talk) 00:49, 31 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Under 'Musical Career' the black panther movie was released, so it is not 'upcoming'. In addition, adding another song "Born Again" is needed. Kst daniel (talk) 01:24, 16 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Partly done: I updated the soundtrack info. For the song, you'll need suggested text for the article along with a citation. – Jonesey95 (talk) 15:04, 17 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

In the partner section of the info box, Rihanna is missing a three year year relationship with Hassan Jameel from 2017-2020. This is already verifiably sourced and is already in the personal life section.

It should read:

Hassan Jameel (2017-2020) 2600:8802:5300:0:5033:55B9:B694:F902 (talk) 06:16, 3 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Change Barbadian to Bajan. 86.18.170.63 (talk) 19:18, 27 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: although Bajan is a local name for people of her nationality, Wikipedia convention seems to be to use "Barbadian" for this purpose. Highway 89 (talk) 04:44, 28 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Typo in Savage X Fenty section

In the Savage X Fenty section, change "…21 Savage. And featured performances by…" to "…21 Savage, and featured performances by…" Baxyofh4rd (talk) 07:17, 13 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There is mention of Ne-Yo in this article but a link to his wikipedia page is not included. DerelictDude (talk) 00:14, 14 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: Ne-Yo is linked to the first time the name appears (second paragraph of the lede). Per WP:OVERLINK, we generally do not repeat links when someone or thing is mentioned multiple times in an article Cannolis (talk) 00:55, 14 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Rihanna was pregnant should be changed to Rihanna is pregnant with her second child. 24.192.171.37 (talk) 13:55, 13 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Done. I agree that this makes the most sense grammatically, but am willing to revert it or even add "As of Feb 2023" etc etc if necessary. Owlettes (talk) 14:29, 13 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 13 February 2023 (3)

It is requested that an edit be made to the extended-confirmed-protected article at Rihanna. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any extended confirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{EEp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

This article is missing a direct hyperlink to the article for Barbados upon the first mention of it.

In the first paragraph, either:

Change "Barbadian" to "[[Barbados|Barbadian]]"
Change "raised in [[Bridgetown]], Barbados" to "raised in [[Bridgetown]], [[Barbados]]" Coleb1911 (talk) 21:35, 13 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
