In the artistry section under influences it states that during childhood Rihanna use to sing Whitney Houston songs and Houston's song "I Will Always Love You" made her develop a passion for music, but it doesn't state how Whitney Houston influenced her like it states Madonna and Mariah Carey influenced her, it just states that she use to sing Whitney Houston songs I wanted to add that Rihanna was also inspired by Whitney Houston as well and also add that Houston's song "I Will Always Love You" influenced her to do music as with citations.

AllMusic also states she does EDM and dancehall but you conveniently forgot to mention that didn’t you? There all all other genres that are sourced throughout her page such as hip hop, dubstep, and reggae why didn’t you mention them too? 78.190.123.200 (talk) 09:49, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Greywalls what's the issue? A 3 second Google will reveal plenty of significant coverage in reliable sources about Rihanna's award by the CFDA, in addition to what was already included in the article:
Also, the Hollywood Reporter article that was cited is by-lined and a green reliable source at WP:RS/P. No indication it is a churned press release. Just because they attributed the announcement that she was receiving the award to the CFDA doesn't make it churnalism... who else would announce she was receiving the award if not for the organization that was awarding it?

Should the lead of the page say "The Right Excellent Robyn Rihanna Fenty"? I don't know what the typical rules for styles of address like this are. I do know that the David Attenborough page uses his title of "Sir", so should we follow that example? Di (they-them) (talk) 02:02, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
MOS:POSTNOM: When the subject of an article has received honours or appointments issued either by the subject's state of citizenship or residence, or by a widely recognized organization that reliable sources regularly associate with the subject, post-nominal letters may be included in any part of the article other than the lead sentence.All this information is in the infobox and mentioned elsewhere in the article. For the other one, see WP:SIR. RachelTensions (talk) 22:23, 26 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

When discussing Rihanna's Super Bowl LVII viewership, it should be revised to note that it was the most-watched halftime show at the time, since surpassed by Kendrick Lamar:
