This list compiles the singles released by Rihanna, arguably the biggest hitmaker of popular music. Seriously, we have not seen anyone that matches the potentials of Rihanna, who seamlessly fits with every genre possible. I have cleaned up the list, and hope that this list is now up to FL standards. Any comment is very much welcomed. Thank you very much, Ippantekina (talk) 08:35, 17 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from TRM[edit]

  • "52 as a lead artist, 18 as a featured artist, two charity singles and five" MOSNUM 52/18/2/5.
  • Done
  • Cross-check the maths and cross-check with the infobox, none of it adds up right now.
  • Nowhere in the lead do you mention any platinum/gold ceritification.
  • Almost all of her singles have gone multi-platinum, so I haven't found anything notable to add. Any ideas? Because saying "This went 7x platinum, that went 8x platinum..." would constitute a huge lead. Ippantekina (talk) 08:39, 19 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Rated R, 2010" that links to a disambiguation page.
  • Plenty of spaced hyphens in the reference titles, should be en-dashes.
  • Done
  • NO NEED TO SHOUT in refs either.
  • Done

That's it on a quick pass. The Rambling Man (Keep wearing the mask...) 10:18, 17 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@The Rambling Man: Thank you for the comments. I have responded to them above :) Ippantekina (talk) 04:44, 20 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from ChrisTheDude[edit]

  • Firstly, I know this doesn't impact the article, but no way is Rihanna the "biggest hitmaker of popular music"
  • It is totally objective! But I still think she is today's biggest hitmaker for her versatility :) Ippantekina (talk) 08:39, 19 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • The clause after "Pon de Replay" starts with a dash but ends with a comma
  • Done
  • "reached the top ten on charts" => "reached the top ten on the charts"
  • Done
  • "The singles also reached the top five on charts" => "The singles also reached the top five on the charts"
  • Done
  • "The string of U.S. number-one singles as lead artist include" => "The string of U.S. number-one singles as lead artist includes" (the subject is string, which is singular)
  • Done
  • Why is the US chart listed first when she is not American?
  • Much of her career is based in America, so I think that makes sense. Ippantekina (talk) 08:39, 19 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Write all chart positions in the notes as numbers
  • Done

Comments by RunningTiger123[edit]

Overall, this looks really good. Just a few small comments:

  • "Umbrella", "Take a Bow", "Disturbia" → "Umbrella", "Take a Bow", and "Disturbia"
  • Similarly, "Only Girl (in the World)", "What's My Name", "S&M" → "Only Girl (in the World)", "What's My Name", and "S&M"
  • Run IABot to archive sources where possible

  • I think you missed the first item, but it's not a huge issue and I'm sure you'll fix it, so I'm happy to support. RunningTiger123 (talk) 04:55, 10 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Pamzeis[edit]

I will try not to screw this up

  • marked some notable — notable? Do her milestones have articles? By whose standards?
  • Her milestones don't have articles per-se, but they are included in the list that I linked. Ippantekina (talk) 04:02, 15 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Also, "some" seems unnecessarily vague
  • claimed the fastest time span — can she really "claim" a time span?
  • eighth studio album Anti — comma after album
  • Be consistent on whether you use the MOS:SERIAL comma or not
  • Also, per MOS:US, be consistent with U.S. vs. UK
  • I spelled out "United States" as a noun and used "US" as an adjective; is it OK? Ippantekina (talk) 04:02, 15 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ping me once these have been resolved! Pamzeis (talk) 08:27, 14 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Pamzeis: Hello, I have responded to your comments above. Thank you for reviewing the FLC. Ippantekina (talk) 04:02, 15 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Happy to support but I'm trying to figure out how I didn't know who Rihanna was until I watched The Good Place (in around 2020). On an unrelated note, I'd appreciate any comments here. Pamzeis (talk) 05:29, 15 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Image review — Pass[edit]

Source review – Source reliability looks okay throughout, and the link-checker tool shows no issues, but there are a few formatting bugs to take care of:

  • Ref 41 needs an access date.
  • Ref 95 has some odd formatting. It looks like the publisher name needs to be taken out of the ref title (ref 89 is a better-formatted cite from the same site).
  • Ref 96 is missing a publisher. Giants2008 (Talk) 21:46, 6 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • With the issues all resolved, I'd say the source review has been passed. Giants2008 (Talk) 22:35, 9 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
