The women who spends $22500 on her her grooming weekly . the news tribe^[1]

Rjkhan (talk) 08:26, 9 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. Jnorton7558 (talk) 08:33, 9 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This claim of her spending on hair is pure gossip. She actually refuted this claim on Twitter.--mikomango mwa! 03:14, 5 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Revision

This page needs major revision, especially under the "Loud" section. It does now flow at all and there are numerous grammatical errors that need to be fixed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.3.238.125 (talk) 00:18, 18 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Good Girl Gone Bad

My reasons for wanting this section to be marked as 2006 - 2009 rather than 2007 - 2009 is because recording sessions for the album started in 2006 as well as Rihanna starting to change her image and style. The last era stops here and the new one starts. FM [ talk to me | show contributions ] 16:22, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Technically, GGGB is 2007-2008. Because she wasn't promoting the album or any singles in 2009. And by April/May 2009, she had started on Rated R. So no. This section will not be marked as 2006-2009. And don't change it. Calvin • ^NaNaNaC'mon! 16:29, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please read my post again, I was proposing it to be 2006 - 2009 rather than 2007 - 2009 which it currently is already. I also believe that Wikipedia articles start referring to the beginning of periods as including the year(s) in which the album was made, rather than when it was released. FM [ talk to me | show contributions ] 17:10, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The article is going to be majorly reconstructed soon anyway. I did read what you said, GGGB didn't start in 2006. So no, that is not being changed. Calvin • ^NaNaNaC'mon! 17:15, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Something about "We Found Love"

WE FOUND LOVE has been pushed up to September 22. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Rihanna&action=edit&section=3 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.224.151.64 (talk) 21:52, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sales

Rihanna has sold over 30 millions album & 100 million singles cinfirmed in her oficial website RihannaNow biography --RihannaNavy (talk) 19:22, 1 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Nothing on her official website could confirm anything about sales. Artists' sites are notoriously unreliable as sources of sales figures. — JohnFromPinckney (talk) 01:15, 2 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"Film debut" - very misleading

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.

Despite what the heading of that sub-section says, Rihanna's film debut was in Bring It On: All or Nothing. To claim that the Battleship piece is her film debut is wrong and misleading. I suggest that it be changed to "theatrical film debut" or removed from that heading altogether. 81.106.127.99 (talk) 21:30, 4 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have removed the Film Debut part from the heading. --Jnorton7558 (talk) 23:21, 4 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It appears to have been changed back. Could some hidden text be added to make sure that it doesn't get reinstated again? 81.106.127.99 (talk) 13:06, 5 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"Rihanna is a Barbadian R&B recording artist?"

Has Rihanna not successfully transitioned into an artist who records both pop and R&B songs, equally? I'm not sure this descriptor is entirely sufficient. Perhaps it should read, "Rihanna is a Barbadian pop and R&B recording artist", which would probably be more accurate. Thoughts?--mikomango mwa! 03:12, 5 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

2010-11: Loud era - No mention of RIHANNA RED hair?

Rihanna's hair was red, ranging from fiery-hot to almost-burgundy, during the Loud era. This was a major defining aspect of this era, something that was constantly discussed in the news and heralded by stylists worldwide. "Rihanna red" was actually a thing in many salons. A girl was suspended from school in the UK for dying her hair red to look like Rihanna, for crying out loud. Why is no mention of her red hair anywhere in this article, specifically in the Loud era section? Thoughts? Anyone? Would anyone object to me adding a mention of her red hair to this section?--mikomango mwa! 03:20, 5 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
