Please fix the redirect - it should be Unapologetic (album). StAnselm (talk) 19:44, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

 * ✅. Redirect was broken when Unapologetic was moved to Unapologetic (album). Thanks for catching this. --Floquenbeam (talk) 20:07, 23 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Actually, I undid that move, so the old target is OK now. --Floquenbeam (talk) 20:31, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

Some more reviews to add to critical reception

http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/pop-shop/1552443/rihanna-finds-her-voice-as-diamonds-tour-shines-in-hartford http://www.theglobeandmail.com/arts/music/rihanna-rocks-without-apology-at-toronto-concert/article9939953/?cmpid=rss1 http://www.masslive.com/entertainment/index.ssf/2013/03/concert_review_rihanna_at_the.html http://www.hiphopcanada.com/2013/03/rihanna-slays-the-stage-on-diamonds-tour-at-the-acc-in-toronto-review/ http://www.rap-up.com/2013/03/09/rihanna-dazzles-at-diamonds-world-tour-kickoff/

The second Toronto Sun inclusion already on the page is kind of slanted. There's no criticism present in her tardiness, just a small mention and " felt the show only featured "some varied highlights"" is really taken out of context. http://www.torontosun.com/2013/03/18/rihanna-makes-stop-at-the-acc Also the "Nick Krewen from Toronto Sun" review already included does not have a valid source. Entertainmentwise out-sources their quotes for reviews in their articles, but there is no Nick Krewen review from the Toronto Sun on their website or papers.

I have included a new write-up for the section below with the new additions and edits:

Mick Stingley of "Billboard" felt that, "For an hour and a half Rihanna shined. Her interplay with her dancers and her longtime band leader Nuno Bettencourt (of the rock band Extreme), was a treat, especially watching the Boston rocker dance with his guitar. With five costume changes, set changes and the glitz of video and flashing lights, the artist put on a fantastic show and was in excellent voice, her laryngitis clearly over. Part school-girl tease and part masterful performer, she grabbed her crotch and shook her bottom and smiled all the while." He concluded his review with, "Rihanna is arguably the biggest pop star in the world. At only 25 she has recorded seven albums in less than ten years and sold millions around the world; she’s more than a household name, she’s a brand. A tabloid regular, her personal life has started to eclipse her music career; but with The Diamonds World Tour, it appears Rihanna is taking it back."

Brad Wheeler from "The Globe and Mail", ""The 100-minute thrill ride included a two-tune encore, comprised of the bluesy ballad Stay – the woman can sing – and the sky-gazing, swirling, upswooping single Diamonds...Rihanna’s star is hot and still on the rise – Beyoncé’s Sasha Fierce is now Sasha Fears."" Donnie Moorhouse of "Mass Live" echoed that sentiment stating, ""This was the type of show you would expect from a Grammy star who sits in the same stratosphere as singers like Alicia Keyes, Beyonce, and J-Lo. Rihanna’s performance was certainly on par with the performances those stars can deliver."

Natasha Paolini for "HipHopCanada" felt "It was obvious that she has grown and matured as an artist and as an individual. I love the way she performed on this tour, she was sexy, charming and even vulnerable at times. With the exception of minor vocal slip-ups, Rihanna put on a stellar show that was tasteful, raw and fun." Popular hip-hop source, "Rap-Up", claimed, "Rihanna brought the glitz and glamour to Buffalo, New York, for the launch of her biggest tour yet. The concert was divided into three acts and featured a four-piece band, eight dancers, and plenty of show-stopping moments."

Jane Stevenson of the "Toronto Sun" felt that "Bigger was definitely better as the 25-year-old artist, starting an hour later than scheduled, kicked off her show kneeling in a black cape in front of a female statue on a video screen before the full effect of the large-scale production kicked in...And if she was still suffering from the laryngitis that caused her to cancel two shows of the Diamonds Tour in the U.S. last week, you’d never know it from her strong vocals on such ballads as What Now, Love The Way You Lie and Stay...I’ve seldom seen a music artist so aware of her body and how to use it." Bernard Perusse from Montreal Gazette was generally more mixed in his opinion, stating "It was all a bit of a shame, given that this concert was more visually appealing and better paced than the singer’s last Montreal appearance, in June 2011. There was much to like in the simple staging, which seemed almost spartan by pop-diva standards, allowing the four musicians and 10 dancers to occupy the same space without everything getting claustrophobic [...]"

There several reviews; Hartford (http://www.masslive.com/entertainment/index.ssf/2013/03/concert_review_rihanna_at_the.html), Phiadelphia (http://articles.philly.com/2013-03-15/news/37747512_1_robyn-rihanna-fenty-diamonds-world-tour-chris-brown), Montreal (http://blogs.montrealgazette.com/2013/03/18/concert-review-rihanna-at-the-bell-centre-march-17-2013/), Billboard's review Hartford (http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/pop-shop/1552443/rihanna-finds-her-voice-as-diamonds-tour-shines-in-hartford).

Setlist
Who can explain to me why someone keeps deleting the Setlist when there is two sources that show the Setlist? Whoever it is, can you please stop? Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.69.140.79 (talk) 02:34, 11 March 2013 (UTC)

"You Da One" need to be added to the setlist, the first time they played the song was in Montreal. (http://www.celebritiestemple.com/rihanna/diamonds-world-tour-in-montreal) "Red Lipstick" need to be added to the setlist, the first time they played the song was in Toronto (http://www.torontosun.com/2013/03/18/rihanna-makes-stop-at-the-acc) JLeemans1 (talk) 20:42, 19 March 2013 (UTC)

Dates
Why are there "Attendance" and "Gross revenue" added? There are no box offices released yet.

And why is there always "citation needed"? You can add the official rihanna website as the citation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JLeemans1 (talk • contribs) 17:16, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Because 1) Box office info will be available soon and 2) Rihanna's website is not a reliable source, as it is a primary source. We work on third party sources here. — Statυs  ( talk,  contribs ) 18:55, 18 March 2013 (UTC)

Okay, I understand. But when I will make this page, I will remove "attendance" and "gross revenue" now, and when the boxoffice is released, you can ad it again but now, it looks empty. And another question again: Are there no other sources for those dates? — Preceding unsigned comment added by JLeemans1 (talk • contribs) 20:24, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
 * There's nothing wrong with the inclusion of them. It's empty because we don't have the information yet, and it's good to be prepared. Believe me, I have searched for sources for them and couldn't find one. The citation needed tag is there so if someone else can find a source for it, they can add it. — Statυs  ( talk,  contribs ) 21:22, 18 March 2013 (UTC)

When I have time, I would search sources. I will post them later here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JLeemans1 (talk • contribs) 15:34, 19 March 2013 (UTC)

A new show on 7 october 2013 in New Zealand at the Vector Arena is announced. (http://www.3news.co.nz/Rihanna-confirms-second-NZ-show/tabid/418/articleID/291022/Default.aspx) JLeemans1 (talk) 12:14, 20 March 2013 (UTC)

You need to change the cancelled concerts to postponed concerts because the concerts aren't cancelled. Baltimore show is now on 24 april. JLeemans1 (talk) 17:50, 20 March 2013 (UTC)
 * They don't need to be changed they were postponed, now they are re-added. — Tomíca (T2ME) 17:55, 20 March 2013 (UTC)

Melbourne shows

WHOEVER KEEPS REMOVING THE OCTOBER 1 MELBOURNE DATE NEEDS TO STOP. There are numerous sources and it is completely official and announced on the ticketek website and has been for weeks. Tickets are for sale this very minute, in fact. You can see the dates here: http://premier.ticketek.com.au/shows/show.aspx?sh=RIHANNA13#.UX5ua6IWcfU  Someone is even going to the effort of removing all of the official sources of the show and everything, it's really bizarre. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 211.31.59.143 (talk) 13:00, 29 April 2013 (UTC)

Box Office
Can someone remove the "Attendance" and the "Gross revenue"? Now, there aren't any box offices released yet. And when they are released, you can ad them under the dates with an own title. That's better and more clearly. JLeemans1 (talk) 18:09, 20 March 2013 (UTC)
 * No. — Statυs  ( talk,  contribs ) 21:17, 20 March 2013 (UTC)

It's really necessary to remove the columns. When you go visit other pages on wikipedia of concert tours, there aren't the columns next to the date. So it need to be changed.JLeemans1 (talk) 12:48, 21 March 2013 (UTC)
 * No it's not needed. Every single tour page doesn't need to be the same always! — Tomíca (T2ME) 12:49, 21 March 2013 (UTC)

And also when you have a tablet (iPad, ...), It isn't really clear. So, please remove it. Or otherwise, I will remove it many times. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JLeemans1 (talk • contribs) 13:16, 21 March 2013 (UTC)
 * It looks perfectly fine to me, on an iPad, it's called turning the screen the other way. There's no reason to remove it; so if you do, it will just be un-removed, "many times". — Statυs  ( talk,  contribs ) 13:21, 21 March 2013 (UTC)
 * It really doesn't matter for me where Gross revenue is being listed, I would just like to note that there is gonna be a lot of empty spaces because we usually only get gross revenue information about 25% of the concert dates. Decodet (talk) 23:55, 26 March 2013 (UTC)
 * At the moment, we already have 13% of box office scores for the tour. And what does that matter anyway? Zach 21:42, 5 April 2013 (UTC)

I don't think the columns should be moved, but it might look a bit ugly when festival dates (that don't usually add towards the final tour gross) are left as empty boxes. --Lolcakes25 (talk) 16:06, 9 April 2013 (UTC)
