Fans are already publishing their photos from the Celebration Tour and some of them looked really good. Since they are private individuals who have no interest in selling these photos, would it be crazy to ask them to donate their photos for her Wikipedia article? How would I exactly go about this?

My preference definitely is the third one (and I agree with Johnny Gnecco about cropping it) since that doesn't have a microphone in front of her face like the other options do. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 21:18, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I definitely have a preference for the fifth one; I don't really like the third one because she's pointing her head up and her nose looks kind of weird.
Having a microphone in front of her face isn't the worst, the current lead image has a microphone in front of her face. I think fifth has better hair and her makeup looks better because the lighting is warmer. PHShanghai | they/them (talk) 00:14, 21 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Here is what a cropped version of image six may look like. I quite like it! I think she looks great.
Update, there are far more choices actually than just these images. If you go on Flickr, there are two photographers who basically were able to take pictures of the entire concert. I think this one is my favorite and I'll test it on the infobox right now; however, as we're still building consensus I think we can probably sift through the rest of the Flickr uploads and keep looking for the best one. It's just a lot of images to look through, like, a lot. PHShanghai | they/them (talk) 01:03, 21 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I am more than happy to find another photo that doesn't have the microphone blocking some of her face.
The only qualm I could have is some of the pics from the Ray of Light segment, she's higher up in her flying platform so the photos taken from that low angle make her look a little funny.
Okay, I changed it to a photo that has better lighting and that doesn't have the microphone as prominently in her face. I really like the lighting on it, but can someone tell me how to remove the ugly purple lighting bleeding in? Where can I consult someone on WM commons to help with that?

Change caption of the image under "2018–present: Madame X, catalog reissues, and the Celebration Tour": Madonna performing at the Madame X Tour in 2020 (Photo taken in February 2020) 219.77.73.137 (talk) 05:54, 24 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Note that that source only supports the claim that Madonna CLAIMS to have sold 400 million records, not that she has actually done so. PianoDan (talk) 16:31, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@NintendoTTTEfan2005: the information is actually present in one of her articles, philantrophy and activism. Seems it was a claim made by the EWF and later by Candace Owens and met a bit of popularity in Twitter or some platforms. A demand for a "controversy" section seems have been requested here since mid '00s. The lack of the section might be comparable to the absecent of other sections like "public image", a little common in some pop stars and other public figures articles. But her public image/controversies is fragmented by areas (like Donald Trump), because she has "many" public image(s)/reception, evidenced by areas such as her gay icon status, fashion and more plus denoted by a response from multiple ideologies/interests and decades/clichés from popular press and other sectors. --Apoxyomenus (talk) 14:38, 11 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Lets not use drivel by a despicable piece of shit like Candace Owens to try to engage an accusation piece on Madonna, when everything has proven to be the opposite of.
