Article for "Who's That Chick?"

We don't know if "Who's That Chick" is gonna be on Loud, but it's being promoted heavily with Doritos. The 2 music videos for it premiered today on Doritos' Late Night website. The video's are also a mark in music video history, making it the first interactive music video ever. This song deserves it's own article. It has also been confirmed to be on David Guetta's One Love re-release, One More Love. http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1650333/20101019/rihanna.jhtml --Sdoo493 (talk) 12:45, 19 October 2010

Barbadian singer?

Why is she always referred to as a Barbadian singer on wikipedia pages, when her music is written, produced, copyrighted, and released in the U.S.? In other words, she only identifies herself as Barbadian in terms of her origin and nationality. If she`s mostly known for her Americanized music, maybe it should be left out. Angiex3-2 (talk) 19:31, 22 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I`ll just go ahead and change this since no one seems to oppose. If anyone has a valid reason why it should stay, just tell me here. Angiex3-2 (talk) 13:34, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Wow.. I just read this article and it`s beyond repairable. Angiex3-2 (talk) 13:54, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Rihanna is a Barbadian singer because she is a singer from Barbados. The same why Celine Dion is a singer from Canada, Adele is a singer from the United Kingdom, and Mariah Carey is a singer from America. Talkwithme (talk) 19:28, 24 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request from Lovebug8779, 10 May 2011

Please change the description of Rihanna as an R&B recording artist to a pop, reggae, R&B recording artist because it is a more accurate description of her musical style and biographies should be as accurate as possible. The influence of her carribean roots on her music is undeniable, look at her songs Rude Boy, Pon de Replay, and What's My Name. There is also a pop element to her music that distinguishes it from the music of R&B artists like Mary J Blige. No one would consider songs like "Shut up and Drive" or "California King Bed" to be R&B songs and you will not hear them played on R&B radio. Furthermore, Rihanna currently holds the record for the most number ones in the history of Billboard Pop Songs chart. [1] That is more than her fellow artists Pink or Lady Gaga. It would be a major mistake at best and dishonest at worst, to not acknowledge Rihanna's relevance in today's pop music world.


She is primarily an R&B artist. We've discussed this before, see the archives of past discussion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Vitorvicentevalente (talk • contribs)

Source 9

Um we do not know where those numbers came from and plus since when has Good Morning America been a reliable source? That needs to be taken off. So far we only know that she has an official 15 million albums old and 45 million singles. Until those extra 13 million albums and 55 million singles (yeah right) are certified and approved by the RIAA or whoever they should not be counted for. I'm taking that off. --Logicalfoundationisdoubt (talk) 22:48, 2 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

My thinking for using Today as a source is that it is a news organization, which, especially for basic facts, we usually consider reliable. (Though, this segment does fall a bit more into the variety show genre...) However, as you note, we prefer more field-specific sources if possible, If we usually use RIAA numbers in these cases, then we should probably use that as a source instead of the MTV.de source we have now. I browsed the RIAA site for a bit, but couldn't find artist-level number, just album ones. Does anyone happen to know where these RIAA numbers might be? Thanks. —C45207 | Talk 07:06, 12 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Unsuitable Info box picture

The current picture of Rihanna in a blue tuxedo jacket shows everything apart from her face, surely that is not acceptable? I thought the Info box pictures had to clearly show their face. calvin999 (talk) 02:45, 7 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

6th album

I don't know whether it should be referred to as her 6th album when Rihanna's management and Rihanna herself have said that the LOUDera is not over and that she will be re-releasing LOUD in the fall ??? Muthamonster (talk) 07:55, 19 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Article is much better. Thank you :)) Muthamonster (talk) 06:18, 20 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Barbados gov't signs Rihanna as honourary tourism ambassador now too.

I'm just adding this info since it may be difficult to find soon. Currently, it doesn't fit the article but, she has now been bestowed as honourary ambassador of tourism for Barbados.

Changing Photos

For some reason, whenever I come back to this article after a week her so, her picture is different. Any reason for this? Talkwithme (talk) 19:29, 24 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It's the most updated picture of her. We must be able to see her face to be suitable for the infobox. VítoR™ get LOUD! 20:05, 24 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Apparently wikipedia is now censored, and we can't show Rihanna's buttocks. Maddox (talk) 19:58, 24 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Well, because we only have mediocre ones. But I note we have a couple of usable ones now:
  • A
    A
  • B
    B
  • C
    C
  • D
    D
  • E
    E
Which one is the best? I restored B earlier because I found her to be not recognizable in A, but C-E are probably better. Opinions? Amalthea 20:48, 14 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
A definetelly the best one, I don't see what's the problem with it Tomica1111 (talk)
A. I do not understand why the photo was changed before the discussion. VítoR™ get LOUD! 19:06, 15 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with with Vitorvicentevalente. Tomica1111 (talk)
A rear view while she's wearing a Bozo wig, and you consider that to be the best shot? Wig free and full face strike me as being bare minimum requirements for an infobox picture.—Kww(talk) 20:36, 15 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Offenses should be ignored. The photo is suitable for the infobox for me. The pictures are both of the same show, same day, which nullifies that lil comment. VítoR™ get LOUD! 01:54, 16 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm. I see no rational line of thought that would let one prefer in particular A over C for the infobox (side-face vs. a frontal shot, with all else being the same) and would be interested to hear your objective reasoning here, but suit yourself, I can see when help is unwanted.

Awards Article

Can somebody please correct the table for the MuchMusic Awards and NAACP Awards section, it seems to be mixed up together. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_awards_and_nominations_received_by_Rihanna Thankyou. --92.7.30.92 (talk) 21:54, 27 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sales

I presented sources that proves the information posted. I was reverted and went back to update with another references. But it seems that lil "untalented" Mariah Carey doesn't have a "interdependent third party source" too... VítoR™ get LOUD! 19:03, 10 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Mariah Carey is an article, not a Wikipedia guideline: the guideline for using reliable sources is at WP:RS. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 20:52, 10 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Cheers (Drink to That)

Why is there no article for this single? Is it because there currently isn't a release date for it? --92.7.25.92 (talk) 20:25, 1 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have written the article but it has been re-directed to the Loud article because it hasn't charted yet, thus failing notability to be an active article. Calvin • NaNaNaC'mon! 21:05, 1 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, thanks for replying. --92.7.25.92 (talk) 22:17, 2 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It should be added to her Biography that she won a Beauty Pageant at school. [2] — Preceding unsigned comment added by Willykey (talk • contribs) 04:31, 3 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
