Talk:List of most-liked Instagram posts

Before changing this content
please remember the need for wp:reliable sources. This is not something that needs to change often. If there is to be an image, it needs to be a thumbnail to prevent the image from overwhelming the text. Please discuss changes before making them. -- Dlohcierekim (talk) 11:25, 7 February 2018 (UTC)

The second most like post should be edited. Right now MS Dhoni latest post is having 31M likes Amitblr27 (talk) 14:20, 18 August 2020 (UTC)

"Historical most-liked posts" Like counts?
I noticed that in the section "Historical most-liked posts", the Likes for Kylie's post, the previous record, are listed as 18.5MM in the table. This is the same as the current number of Likes listed in the other table. However, at the time Kylie's post was surpassed by the egg post, the number of Likes for both posts was about 18.19MM. Other "former record" posts seem to have their current Like counts listed. Wouldn't it make more sense to change this column to represent the Likes at the time of crossover, instead? The number in Kylie's post's Likes column should be 18.2MM, not 18.5MM, and all the others should have less. This system would be similar to how the editors of the pages "List of most-liked YouTube videos" and "List of most-viewed YouTube videos" have handled their corresponding sections. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Monkeyfume (talk • contribs) 03:02, 16 January 2019 (UTC)
 * I have now changed the Like counts in the second table to represent Likes at crossover. The sources for the numbers are the same as the ones already linked. — Monkeyfume (talk) 01:01, 17 January 2019 (UTC)

Egg picture
Egg is at 11.8 million. 12;53PM CST 13, January 2019

The Egg picture is now 12.3 million likes now Amayitakp (talk) 19:21, 13 January 2019 (UTC)

The egg post has 14.3 mill likes

00:39 UTC: The "Owner" of the account behind the egg post is listed as "EGG GANG 🌍". This isn't actually the owner, it's just the name of the account. Since the real name of the owner has not been revealed, shouldn't this be changed to "Unknown" or something?

Yes Jamie dub (talk) 01:04, 14 January 2019 (UTC)

it's the wrong egg in the article can we fix this please? Xxriaa (talk) 21:46, 19 January 2019 (UTC)

The owner is @kylefarjad. It's confirmed by Instagram. Can we add that? WannaLive4Ever (talk) 07:32, 14 January 2019 (UTC)

Nothing is confirmed by anyone, a few individuals have abused verified badges to claim that they are the owner of the egg account. --156.62.34.1 (talk) 09:57, 14 January 2019 (UTC)

The egg image on this page is not the same image posted on Instagram. The original does not have as dramatic lighting. This current picture was clearly taken by an amateur while the original is much more professional. Rosieandgingerbits (talk) 19:20, 14 January 2019 (UTC)

owner of egg account has stated in their story that they only have one account (the egg account) so let's keep it as unknown unless they update us Xxriaa (talk) 21:46, 19 January 2019 (UTC)

Rounded-up number or true number?
I've seen some edits to the main table where the decimal is updated when the post hits the true number of likes (i.e. when the post hits 10.3 million likes, the table is updated) and other times where it is updated when the post can be rounded up (i.e. when the post hits 11.05 million likes, the table is updated). Which of these is correct?

In Cristiano’s post with his son and his girlfriend there’s a mistake because it has been posted at 10.7.2018 but you wrote that it has been posted at 9.7.2018 1173Patonia (talk) 18:25, 13 January 2019 (UTC)

Kylies post only has 18.1 but table says 18.2 yes but the number is closer to 18.2 than 18.1

Using rowspan in the table formatting is not really justified here.
I've reformatted the table to remove the multi-row cells a few times now because it's not really necessary and it makes it harder to edit. People changed it back a few times without giving any reason. Rowspan shouldn't be used to connect rows that represent completely different things; that's not how almost any tables are formatted. Here is an example of an article with a justified use of rowspan.

Description of photo
The description of photo falsibly indicated that this photo is the most liked on instagram, which is not true. The original got deleted. I tried to fix the description, but my opinion was abolished. Someone has to change it.  Dalida Editor please ping or message me ' 02:46, 14 January 2019 (UTC)

Seperate Tables for posts and reels.
Could we look at potentially having three tables, one for the most liked posts, one for the most liked reels, and then one for the combined statistics of both posts and reels, as I feel that reels will begin to take over the chart, and then this table will become less interesting to the people coming to see the most liked posts as they won't know who the people who posted the reels are, as the mega-viral reels tend to be posted by non-celebrities. We could also add a 'views' statistic to the reels table as that would be interesting. MessiIsMyBezzie (talk) 14:07, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
