Added backronyms

Look at the sourced article and check the 2nd picture. It is a press conference with BoA and others. Behind them is a banner saying "Best of Asia. Bring on America. BoA.". All were made to match in font and in case specificity. It is obvious these were created with the purpose of promoting her American debut. Neoyamaneko (talk) 07:10, 3 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes it was created for promoting her American debut, however, it does not mean that it is a backronym of her name. The article you are using as a source does not say that "Best of Asia" or "Bring on America" are backronyms of her name. The Swedish article explicitly says that her name means Beat of Angel, so unless it explicitly states that either of those phrases means or represent her name then what you are adding is original research. And reverting your edits has nothing to do with bad faith all that is being asked is provide a source that proves what you claim. MS (Talk|Contributions) 07:30, 3 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Continued image change and decline in sales

The "Continued image change" sounds awkward for me. And do we really have to put that as the sub-categories? Couldn't it just be "Decline in sales"? Same with the "Continued activity in Japan." AhnSoonKyung (talk) 02:12, 21 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Broken links: Chosun Ilbo

I noticed that The Chosun Ilbo in English changed it's links structure. There are many of them in Wikipedia, and at least 3 in here. For example, for link 24, the correct link is [BoA Reinvents Herself as Heir to Korean Tradition] I guess someone know how to solve deep links problem in bigger scale, and someone can also fix this and the other links in this subject. Ron64 (talk) 14:50, 12 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed it too. Must be a structural thing. Ohlly (talk) 17:08, 4 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Fangirl-ing

This article sounds like something written by a gushing fangirl. Can someone make it more neutal? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.233.135.156 (talk) 23:05, 18 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Looks fine to me. Can you give me any specific examples of what you see as being "written by a gushing fangirl"? Sorafune 話 23:14, 18 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Woo Weekend

Can someone please put the information together to have her latest single "Woo Weekend" get its own page? When I scroll all the way to the bottom and click on it, it takes me to her discography... The single has been released for 2 days now. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.131.131.223 (talk) 14:42, 23 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I just restored the page and will now update links. The contents of the page were wiped a month ago due to concerns of lack of notability. エムエックスさん話 15:47, 23 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hurricane Venus page

I have noticed that enough information is out for her new album including: Cover art, tracklist, release date, and released singles... I was wondering if someone could put together the webpage. I would do it but I am not too sure how. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.131.131.223 (talk) 03:43, 30 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed, the info for the writers/composers is all on her website, boa.smtown.com

Could I post this here...? Could someone edit this into a chart?

USA CAREER

Does this mean BoA is done with her USA career because the article doesn't explain what happened.70.156.106.157 (talk) 14:40, 8 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Audio-Technica endorsement

Audio-Technica site says she's an endorser of the company's products (link). I've seen a 30-second CM where she uses the ATH-Pr0700 (link). Any confirmation? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.176.130.84 (talk) 00:56, 4 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
