Homecoming

There's a stub for the upcoming Netflix documentary at Homecoming (2019 film). ---Another Believer _(Talk) 00:08, 9 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

What kind of stub exactly?? Tshepiso Matlaba (talk) 20:36, 19 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

See Wikipedia:Stub. The article on Homecoming is no longer a stub, but it was when Another Believer posted here. ---Sluzzelin talk 20:39, 19 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

hi wiki,

I’m a big fan of your site! I found broken links the other day and wanted to let you know about it.

The page where the link appears is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beyonc%C3%A9

The broken URL is "Beyoncé Knowles settles with gaming company". Retrieved May 15, 2013.[dead link] , "Rihanna advises Idols to work like they have a hit". CablePulse 24.[dead link], Classen, Stephanie (March 28, 2009). "Beyoncé no ordinary performer". The StarPhoenix. Retrieved March 31, 2009.[dead link]

I found a similar page, even better that even has a link from Wikipedia. Do you want to update the links?

https://spinninnews.com/beyonce-lands-adidas-deal/#.XNHKO_kzaM8, https://spinninnews.com/beyonce-fans-rejoice-as-lemonade-is-finally-available-on-all-streaming-platforms/#.XNHLQ_kzaM8,

Keep up the excellent work! Thanks!

Not done: None of the 3 "spinninnews" links you provide verify the information in the article currently sourced by the dead links. NiciVampireHeart 08:07, 8 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Crazy in Love is not Beyoncé's first solo recording

The article claims "Beyoncé's first solo recording was a feature on Jay-Z's "'03 Bonnie & Clyde" that was released in October 2002" - but the discography notes "Work It Out" is her first solo recording (released June 11, 2002). The artikel Crazy in Love notes: "By July 2002, Beyoncé had already recorded several songs which would appear on Dangerously in Love", so Crazy in Love can not be the first solo recording. --2A0A:A541:48E2:0:5C65:187:FB99:1233 (talk) 10:18, 4 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Beyonce is a Singer-Dancer

MODERATOR: There are countless singers, but there is another category of singer-dancer. She is also a model. Therefore, the opening sentence should be tweaked to: Beyoncé Giselle Knowles-Carter (/biːˈjɒnseɪ/ bee-YON-say; born September 4, 1981)[4] is an American singer-dancer, songwriter, actress, and model. 2601:580:A:7031:B41A:E77F:5125:4347 (talk) 11:30, 4 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Can you point us to a well-respected publication that calls her a singer-dancer or model? Because that's what will give you leverage here. Binksternet (talk) 14:50, 4 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 16 December 2019

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Beyoncé. (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 autoconfirmed 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 {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.
