Who's That Chick
Who's that chick is a bouns track on LOUD! check on mtv for the interview when she is talking about matt kemp & katy perry...one of those articles or neither —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.10.193.59 (talk) 05:01, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

Can somebody please mention something about this song, its supposedly on the new album, which would make sense, as it fits with the whole theme the album is trying to achieve. Its produced by david guetta, so if you want to mention that. Theres also a video to it, which is very pop themed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.211.66.99 (talk) 00:21, 18 September 2010 (UTC)
 * "Supposedly" is not "confirmed". Yes, a video obviously leaked but that does not mean that this track will definitely be on the album.  Many times, songs that leak like this end up being removed from the track list by the label or moved to "bonus track" status.  We all know the video leaked, but there is NO confirmation from the label that this is an album track.  Obviously the label didn't even want the video released in the first place.  Blogs and fansites reporting the video leak does not mean that this is a confirmed track. - eo (talk) 01:19, 18 September 2010 (UTC)


 * The fact that they put money into filming a video for it, says to me that the song will most likely be on the album. But yet again, that's considered personal research. I added a section called "Possible Tracks", since the label said the track listing is not final, and the song "Cheers" is not confirmed by her label, moved it to possible tracks. - —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ending-start (talk • contribs) 11:03, 18 September 2010
 * FYI, sections like "possible tracks" should be, and usually are, removed. This is not the place to speculate.  They are either on the album, or they aren't. - eo (talk) 15:14, 18 September 2010 (UTC)

This song has nothing to do with LOUD, its a song for a Doritos Late Nite campain --173.87.253.2 (talk) 21:56, 23 September 2010 (UTC)

Obulosly (dont know how to spell) Only Girl IS a confirmed track... Cheers is a recorded song, but we dont know if they are gonna be on the CD, Who's that chick is for a Doritos commercial, and another rumored song, called What's My Name is having the Video recorded, but it MIGHT be for a Kodak commercial or a B-Side to Only Girl.... but What's My Name still isnt confirmed :D --173.87.253.2 (talk) 21:59, 23 September 2010 (UTC)

 * If you'd like to design and maintain your own personal fansite for Rihanna you're certainly welcome to, but if you want to edit this encyclopedia and contribute constructively and adhere to policies and guidelines about reliability and verifiability, then you'll have to wait until the appropriate sources are available. If it bothers you that much, then no one is forcing you to be here.  It's really that simple. - eo (talk) 11:45, 29 September 2010 (UTC)


 * I know you're talking to that other person who sweared, but why has it been removed? It's confirmed via her OFFICIAL SITE. ΣПDiПG–STΛЯT   (Talk)  23:13, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

Unreliable sources

 * If it is confirmed on her official website (or Def Jam's) then why isn't that being used as a source in this article? I see YouTube, unreliable blogs like RapUp, Justjared, etc.  The only reliable sources I see are MTV, Billboard and iTunes.  Seriously, why is it so difficult for people (especially those who supposedly care about Rihanna so much) to just hang on until we have an accurate track list?  It really is getting beyond ridiculous now. - eo (talk) 11:11, 30 September 2010 (UTC)
 * I, too, question the reliability of Rap-Up; They have been unreliable on many occasions. Yvesnimmo (talk) 20:16, 30 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Well there are a number of "confirmed tracks" on the page right now, all with rap-up as a source. I left them there for now, but it would be nice if I wasn't the only person removing unsourced song titles from this page.  I vote for WAITING until a confirmed track list is released by the label. - eo (talk) 20:24, 30 September 2010 (UTC)
 * I agree. A listening party or advance preview is not confirmation the tracks will be on the album. The label could very well pull them off at the last minute. Shall I go ahead and remove those tracks? Yvesnimmo (talk) 20:31, 30 September 2010 (UTC)


 * Why are you guys stressing it so much? Does it bother you. Those songs were played at a listening party. Sure, they might not be on the final track listing, but when hasn't songs confirmed to be on an album, not been on the album? ΣПDiПG–STΛЯT   (Talk)  22:18, 30 September 2010 (UTC)
 * A listening party doesn't mean the songs are confirmed to be on an album. Yvesnimmo (talk) 22:21, 30 September 2010 (UTC)


 * It also doesn't mean they won't be. I honestly don't see any harm in it AT ALL. ΣПDiПG–STΛЯT   (Talk)  22:24, 30 September 2010 (UTC)
 * It's not about "harm", whatever that may be. And to answer your previous question, Madonna's "Liquid Love", Timbaland ft. Jay-Z & Justin Timberlake's "Laugh at 'Em", Van Halen's "Numb to the Touch", etc. Yvesnimmo (talk) 22:28, 30 September 2010 (UTC)


 * It does seem that way to me. But whatever, the track listing will probably be announced soon anyway. And I wasn't asking a question, I'm aware of those types of things. It's never been a problem before, that I've seen. ΣПDiПG–STΛЯT   (Talk)  22:38, 30 September 2010 (UTC)
 * OK here is the deal, in case anyone still isn't clear about it: it's not about stressing, its about verifying the information. If anyone is stressing, it seems to be the people adamant about "being the first" to add any and all information into the article, whether its confirmed or not.  And in my 5+ years of editing experience, this happens every single time a very high-profile pop music artist is about to release a new album.  And every time, half of the information that "fans" throw into an article is wrong: whether it's an album's title, or fake cover art, or a track list, or a music video, or a list of producers, or a release date... you name it.  When Britney Spears's Blackout and Madonna's Hard Candy albums were coming out, I had to put the articles on full protection because of the chaos; the names of the articles were probably redirected 100x because fansites kept giving different album titles, and everyone claimed that their source was the correct source... you would have thought I asked frantic edtiors to sacrifice their firstborn, they were so upset that they couldn't edit it.  That is what I am trying to AVOID here.  No one wants to lock this article down, including me — that's a totally lame, last resort.  If everyone is so confident that a track list will be confirmed "in the next few days", then surely you're capable of waiting it out since it's not such a big deal?  It should not be the responsibility of a small handful of editors to risk 3RR on a daily basis and constantly have to monitor this one article if everyone would just cooperate and make sure their contributions are reliably sourced. - eo (talk) 00:02, 1 October 2010 (UTC)


 * I understand what you're saying and I've seen it lots as well. I just don't think it's that big of a deal to include songs that were previewed at a listening party. That's all. ΣПDiПG–STΛЯT   (Talk)  15:30, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Songs that are previewed at a listening party aren't necessarily songs that will be on the album, so why would one even include it in this article? It's clearly not a confirmed track, then. Yvesnimmo (talk) 16:37, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

Who's That Chick!?
Who's That Chick WILL be on the album, Rihanna even said in an interview the other day that it was the only song her boyfriend didn't like from the album, along with several people who have heard the album (JustJared, PopJustice) and it was mentioned as an album track. So it should be added on here! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.241.6.130 (talk) 17:52, 9 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Unreliable sources. According to MTV News, "The leaked song "Who's That Chick?" won't appear on Loud, but it's also fairly uptempo." Yves (talk) 18:07, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, it will be on the album. There's a Universal Music Canada booklet on Scribd that I just read and in the Rihanna - Loud section it says that one of the key tracks will be Who's that Chick. It also explains everything about its Doritos campaign. http://www.scribd.com/doc/38894762/UMC-UNI10-44-Nov-16th-2010 SmadaLeinad (talk) 20:58, 13 October 2010 (UTC)
 * A press release from Def Jam records clearly says Rihanna features on David Guetta's "Who's That Chick" which is taken from his new album One More Love. Additionally after the false tracklisting posted earlier we should treat it as caution. --  Lil_℧niquℇ №1 &#124;  talk2me  16:46, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

Eminem Collab
Eminem has been confirmed by several websites  including a Video of Rihanna stating that he is on This Album with a Sequel to "Love the Way You Lie"--Bend2pa (talk) 01:47, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Those websites are not reliable sources. We cannot use fan sites or gossip sites or blogs. Yves (talk) 01:50, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

What about Rap Basement, and MTV??? Then Rihanna saying in a video That it is gonna happen???--Bend2pa (talk) 01:53, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Rap Basement is a fan site, so "No.". MTV is only reliable if not reporting a rumor, or not reporting from an unreliable source. Videos are usually not reliable sources. Also, a collaboration is not a source that it will be on the album. Yves (talk) 01:57, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

(un)Confirmed Tracks
Well, someone added this unconfirmed tracks into article, like collabo' with GaGa or Bubble Pop. Sorry, but MTV is just speculating. Also this back cover is for sure fake, maybe not many of u saw it...but it was made by some amateur. Check it out: http://plixi.com/p/50540258  There are few mistakes, on the right side like: "gruop". Also i think that catalog numbers arent identical. Well this cover was uploaded by some brazilian guy. So please change the tracklist. —Preceding unsigned comment added by G0LD!3 (talk • contribs) 13:44, 14 October 2010 (UTC)

 * A page for the tour is not yet required as the tour is not yet notable. A page simply list dates is not considered appropriate. --  Lil_ ℧ niquℇ № 1  [talk]  23:30, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

The dates actually have no relation to the album, do you see tourdates for tours on other album pages? If anything the dates should either go on a page for the tour, or the page on Rihanna herself. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jmagicvamp (talk • contribs) 23:35, 21 December 2010 (UTC)
 * But that's because the tour is named after the album and is in promotion of it. It makes more sense to include here. Once more information is available to make the information more notable then an independent page would be worthwhile. Think about it logically, would it make sense to redirect the information from The Labyrinth (tour) to Echo (Leona Lewis album)? No. Also Other stuff existing or not existing is not a valid argument. --  Lil_ ℧ niquℇ № 1  [talk]  23:42, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

--91.154.96.184 (talk) 12:23, 9 January 2011 (UTC) It gets too messy whit tour dates and information on the same page as ther albums, and too long, a separate page for the tour is better, and its no difference if its connected whit the album or not or .....Tours will have there own page!
 * When there is more information, not just dates, then tours become notable for their own pages. But when dates are the only info available then independent pages are not notable. --  Lil_ ℧ niquℇ № 1  [talk]  15:30, 9 January 2011 (UTC)

UK Albums Chart
I am finding contradicting information concerning the chart performance of Loud in the United Kingdom. The Official Charts has it listed as reaching a peak of number two: reference 1, reference 2; while Chart Stats has it listed as reaching a peak of number one: reference 1. If I am correct, The Official Charts is the official website for the United Kingdom's charts, thus should be used in the article (which sources The Official Charts but lists a peak of number one) as well as her discography (which uses Chart Stats).

Requested move

 * The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section. 

The result of the move request was: not moved and Loud (album) retargeted to Loud  Ja Ga talk 19:50, 22 March 2011 (UTC)

Loud (Rihanna album) → Loud (album) —, a page named a disambiguation page Loud (album) should not redirect to a sub-disambiguation page such as Loud (Rihanna album). &mdash;  Lil_ ℧ niquℇ № 1  [talk]  22:21, 12 March 2011 (UTC) Support move there are no other names for it. Ozurbanmusic (talk) 23:35, 12 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Retarget the redirect to the disambiguation page. The Timo Maas album used to be called "Loud (album)" until it was renamed, and the redirect retargeted here. So, "Loud (album)" should target Loud instead. 184.144.160.156 (talk) 06:23, 13 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Oppose as there are 3 albums entitled Loud (Loud (Rihanna album), Loud (Half Japanese album) and Loud (Timo Maas album)). Loud (album) should be retargeted as above and tagged with R from incomplete disambiguation. Tassedethe (talk) 23:33, 13 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Of which Rihanna's version of the album is the most notable. Although I'd argue that Rihanna's album should exist at Loud (album) with a hat note for the other albums... its conceivable that Loud (album) could become a disambig page for three three albums of this title. &mdash;  Lil_ ℧ niquℇ № 1  [talk]  23:48, 13 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Support. Rihanna's album got well over 300,000 pageviews last month, compared to 251 for the Timo Maas album (the 1981 Half Japanese album article is brand new but it is barely notable). Anyone typing "Loud album" in the search box is almost certainly looking for Rihanna's album and shouldn't be purposely and unnecessarily sent to a disambiguation page. Station1 (talk) 05:25, 14 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment Rihanna's album was just released, it's been well under one year. Do we move the just released material to primary all the time? (Move Avatar (film) to Avatar ?) 184.144.160.156 (talk) 03:35, 15 March 2011 (UTC)
 * No, not all the time. But in this case, with approximately 999 out of every 1000 readers wanting this article, it seems to me like it should be primary for the forseeable future. Station1 (talk) 22:35, 15 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Oppose move. Far too early to decide that Ranna's album is the album by that name. Andrewa (talk) 02:54, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

Singles
Digital Spy has just announced that "California King Bed" will be released as the albums forth (not fifth) single. "'California King Bed' - produced by The Runners - marks the fourth cut from her fifth studio album Loud". Share your thoughts below i just thought i would bring this to the editors of the album attention. - (CK)Lakeshade  -  talk2me  - 23:05, 12 March 2011 (UTC)
 * "Raining Men" was sent to radios so it counts as a single. "California King" is the fifth single no matter what these sources say. Ozurbanmusic (talk) 23:32, 12 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Actually I must say, it's a little bit stupid. Every net source says that California King Bed will be the fourth single and here on wikipedia is listed as the fifth one. Why don't we give "Raining Men" status, as a promotional single, because by my opinion that's what it really is ... ? Tomica1111  (talk)

 * Just reporting here at the Talk about a small improvement edit I made with the edit summary "Radio Only > Radio...Thus no complaint in cases where a video exists as it doesn't matter to the single creation."—Iknow23 (talk) 00:24, 8 April 2011 (UTC) After many discussions at WT:SONG, a consensus has been reached that a 'Radio add" date can 'create' a 'single'. However the template formatting displays "Released:" but the industry does not call Radio a 'Release'. We are attempting to resolve the reporting of Radio date HERE. Also feel free to review the considerable material prior to the subsection given in the link. Please contribute and thank you.—Iknow23 (talk) 02:33, 8 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Raining Men (song) didn't have much promotion from the label. If this became a single, it would have a music video or something. Another thing is, Rihanna never made any announcement that this would ever be a single like she usually does before she releases singles. Never from her website or even her news website announced any release for Raining Men. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jared martinez gwapo (talk • contribs) 07:03, 8 April 2011 (UTC)

Why is "Only Girl (In the World)" listed as eight #1 single, and "What's My Name" ninth?
Why is "Only Girl (In The World)" listed as Rihanna's eight number 1 single when it was her ninth? Regardless of release date, "What's My Name" reached #1 on November 20, 2010, while "Only Girl (In The World)" reached number 1 December 4, 2010. It says so on the Billboard website. http://www.billboard.com/song/rihanna/only-girl-in-the-world/22819947#/artist/rihanna/chart-history/658897 Billboard.com even states that it's her ninth #1 in this article: http://www.billboard.com/news/rihanna-s-only-girl-rebounds-to-no-1-on-1004130511.story#/news/rihanna-s-only-girl-rebounds-to-no-1-on-1004130511.story The Singles section should be changed to reflect this. I did it once and didn't include these citations because it was already stated in the next citation, but the info was still removed. It might also be worth mentioning that it was the first time in history an artist's second number 1 got there before the first (which is states in the second Billboard link.

Sorry about my mistake. "Only Girl (In The World)" reached number 1 two weeks after "What's My Name," not one. My bad.

Incorrect Japanese Album Chart Position
The link provided shows that Loud was #1 on the Japanese Western Artist Album Chart, NOT the official Oricon Japanese Album Chart. Unless an official Oricon source can prove that Loud was #1 on ths official chart, she should not be cited as #1 in Japan. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.7.104.229 (talk) 09:20, 5 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Yeah I just saw that too. It doesn't say anywhere on the official Oricon Wikipedia page that it went number one. That is very misleading as it is a huge achievement for a western artist to reach number one on the official chart like GaGa and Madonna have. That needs to be changed or taken down. The peak on the official Oricon Japanese Album Chart would be more relevant. Muthamonster (talk) 04:57, 27 September 2011 (UTC)

 * I'm not being annoying, you are. You're removing bulks of information which is apart of the US commercial performance. Like I have said countless times before, this article is waiting to be Peer Reviewed by an experienced outside editor, and he or she will decide what doesn't need to be kept in the article, not you. I don't want edit wars going on with you other it will compromise the eventual GAN review as it can be failed for that. And I don't appreciate you removing information which me and a friend worked hard on for weeks and weeks without discussing it here first, just like you didn't discuss your Man Down move, and look at the disruption that caused because you didn't do it properly. <font color ="blue" face= "Aharoni">Calvin  &bull; 9 9 9 15:40, 24 July 2011 (UTC)

Articles are not frozen awaiting review, and you can't revert other editors using that as a motivation.&mdash;Kww(talk) 15:43, 24 July 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm not reverting everything he does. But after I have merged my sandbox, he has come with all guns blazing changing everything I have worked so hard to improve. When he is making such drastic and large removals and edits, he should say it on this talk page first, and wait for discussion which involves more people than just himself. he has also been reverting me as well, so don't me out to be the sole bad person here.

Why did you have less responsibility to get consensus prior to changes than PD.Baker24?&mdash;Kww(talk) 16:54, 24 July 2011 (UTC)

OK guys, just calm down. All we ask for you (Me and Calvin) is to wait for the peer review from a "profesionalist".

 * Well having a huge singles section, it's just for not or having rules. LOUD had 3 MEGA singles, so that information it's actually needed so could people understand the success of them. I see nothing bad or eventually a problem with it.  Tomica1111  (talk)  09:59, 26 July 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm not saying it's bad. The singles maybe very successful, but you don't have to include each and every information regarding it. For example: "At the 53rd Grammy Awards, held at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on February 13, 2011, the song won the award for Best Dance Recording.[102] It was the first time Rihanna had won an award in this category, despite being nominated in 2008 with "Don't Stop the Music"[103] and 2009 with "Disturbia".[104]", " Music critics praised the song as some of Rihanna's best vocal work to date. They also praised its romantic nature of the song, as well as its sexual tones. However, there was some negative criticism towards Drake's lyrics which included a sexual innuendo about the square root of 69.[108]", " The music video for "S&M" was co-directed by Rihanna and Melina Matsoukas,[126] who had previously directed the music video's for Rihanna's singles from her previous album Rated R, "Hard", "Rude Boy" and "Rockstar 101", and was shot in Los Angeles during the weekend of January 15, 2011.", "It was banned in several countries, whilst also being restricted to nighttime only TV rotation, due to the explicit content of the video.[128] The video was also flagged for inappropriate content by users on YouTube, restricting viewership to registered users over the age of 18.[129] The music video faced another controversy when allegations of plagiarism surfaced, which resulted in Rihanna being sued, involving the video's striking similarity to past Vogue Italia photo-shoots ranging from 1995–2002 by David LaChapelle, with RadarOnline reporting "In a side-by-side comparison between LaChapelle's previous work and screen captures of the Matsoukas directed music video, the similarities are indisputable – with nearly identical sets, scenarios, and styling."[130]" I have italicised the statements, which I feel, are unnecessary here in the album article. <b style="font-family:Arial; color:CornflowerBlue;">Novice7</b> (<b style="font-family:Arial; color:DodgerBlue;">talk</b>) 10:13, 26 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Now that I actually took a look at the article, yes the singles section is way too long. Its basically giving a 25% coverage on each song article in one section. If you would like to mention the music videos, it must be brief. I mean, "We Belong Together" achieved more success than any of Louds singles, and still only warrants a small portion of the two paragraphs. When I made my original statement, I did not check and notice that it was over five paragraphs long. Try to eliminate a good 40% of that. If you'd like, I'm sure one of us can do it for you.-- CallMe Nathan  &bull;  Talk2Me   10:43, 26 July 2011 (UTC)
 * No, thanks, I will do it. Tomica1111  (talk)  13:45, 26 July 2011 (UTC)

The section has been shrunk a bit now, and I have removed chunks from Only Girl and S&M, and Tomica has removed some parts which flowered it a bit. I think the paragraphs are of ample length according to each song and it's success/information. It only looks like a lot because there are 8 songs mentions, and not many albums have 8 songs to talk about as singles/notable songs, especially when three of them have been so successful as well as having some controversy to talk about. <font color ="blue" face= "Aharoni">Calvin  &bull; 9 9 9 14:03, 26 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Yeah, totally agree. Tomica1111  (talk)  14:07, 26 July 2011 (UTC)


 * It still happens to be far too much. In giving you advice from experience, this will never make it to FA or even GA with all that extra misc info.-- CallMe Nathan  &bull;  Talk2Me   06:16, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Ok, I will try to reduce it, later, and man I don't mean to be rude, but since you hate so much Rihanna and her voice, why are you so interested in editing her articles? For ex. I don't like Gaga, so I don't care about them ... Tomica1111  (talk)  06:56, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
 * I have further reduced the Only Girl, What's My Name?, S&M and Man Down paragraphs. Please bare in mind that the third paragraph talks about Raining Men and S&M, and that the fourth paragraph talks about CKB, Man Down and Cheers. The Confessions on a Dancefloor singles section is about half as long and talks about four 4 singles, so it makes sense that the singles section here is about twice as long talking about 8 singles. <font color ="blue" face= "Aharoni">Calvin  &bull; 9 9 9 13:15, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Answering to you Tomica. True, I do not like Rihanna, but unlike you, I still want the best for all Wiki articles, especially because I know that a friend of mine, Calvin, worked very hard on this and truly wants it to go far and be the best it can be. That is why. For that very same reason I will probably reconsider my oppose on her Project page. If you guys really want to better her discography, and feel a project is necessary or helpful, then I don't think its fair I try and stop you.-- CallMe Nathan  &bull;  Talk2Me   20:14, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your response, I really appreciate that. Btw thanks for your vote. I just want to see this, maybe it will change your opinion a little bit. Btw I cut some of the singles information, I don't really think It can be taken other info. Greetings Tomica1111  (talk)  20:23, 29 July 2011 (UTC)

Loud Removed from iTunes
I know I don't have any sources here and whatnot, as it hasn't been mentioning by the media (yet), but the album was removed from iTunes WORLDWIDE. Then about an hour later, it was put up again removing Love the Way You Lie, and you can no longer buy the album as a whole, just song by song. Would this be worth mentioning?

Proposed removal
I'm proposing that the last sentence in the lead about the Grammys should be removed. Per the guidelines at WP:ALBUM and the site-wide explanation of WP:LEDE, we should not give undue weight to one organization/its accolade(s) in the lead section. The more general claim that the album earned Rihanna several accolades (affirmed by List of awards and nominations received by Rihanna) can summarize it better. Dan56 (talk) 18:50, 21 May 2012 (UTC)
 * It's in almost every article on Wikipedia though? That's like saying its unfair to put "the song debuted at number one on the billboard hot 100" in the lead because it's unfair to the Indonesian singles chart...--(CA)Giacobbe (talk) 20:01, 21 May 2012 (UTC)


 * Well an American album's domestic charting is usually the relevant commercial performance. Likewise for an Indonesian artist's album and the respective chart. In this case, Grammys dont measure/track tangibles such as sales, like Billboard and Nielsen do. They represent one collective's opinion. It's nice to put an accolade there, but why should the Grammy accolade be mentioned rather than a different organization's accolade, particularly when the album didnt even win the Grammy nomination that mentioned? Dan56 (talk) 20:09, 21 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Well because it's the highest and most respected award in the music industry, you don't see artists making albums and songs specifically to win kids choice awards LMAO! It's the golden standard of the music industry for awards.--(CA)Giacobbe (talk) 20:22, 21 May 2012 (UTC)
 * That's giving too much weight to one award. The Recording Academy is pretty invested in the music industry, particularly the dying CD sales business, which explains why the better-received albums arent usually nominated for those "best" categories. Billboard and American Music awards aint no different, just less of a burden to uphold that image of being prestigious. It's sort of a questionable and criticized source. While Loud isnt a bad album, nothing else other than the Grammy nomination suggests that it was received as one of the best albums. I think more credence should be given to critics' year-end lists, but that would also be giving undue weight to a certain source. As it is, the sentence is kind of awkwardly placed; it's sort of stand-alone, not a supporting example for anything like the album earning Rihanna several accolades. It's giving undue weight to a minority view that the album was viewed as one of the year's best albums. Dan56 (talk) 20:51, 21 May 2012 (UTC)

I told you to look at many other articles, the majority on Wikipedia (including this one).

 * Are we on the same page? I'm talking about this talk page. What I proposed here. I would have just done it, but it was passed GA, and its highly superior quality thanks to editors like yourself. The Pink Friday article can clearly use some ideas being discussed. This seems like more of a finished product. I just through the idea out there that it would be a more neutral lead without the Grammy sentence. I would've appreciated if Calvin999 had elaborated on his point, but what can you do. Now, do you want me to look at all GA articles? Who would do that? I look primarily for articles that could use help and have something I'm interested in. That's why here was just a proposal. I'm not demanding anything. I just think I have a point and would appreciate some feedback from other editors. It could come from editors other than yourself, who has already made his view clear. Dan56 (talk) 02:07, 22 May 2012 (UTC)

My two cents I was asked to come here and give my feedback, but simply put, it will fall on deaf ears. It looks like the two of you are bickering and without being calm and rational, things can't move forward. Fundamentally, either approach is prudent on its own merits: it is fair to say "such-and-such is a Grammy Award-winning album" and it is also reasonable to think that we shouldn't emphasize individual accolades in an overview. If the two of you can agree to that as well as agree that both of you are probably interested in the encyclopedia being better, then you can make some progress. If not, there's no point in bothering anyone else as you two can fight all day long. —Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 09:35, 22 May 2012 (UTC)
 * It's just one sentence saying that it was nominated for a Grammy, and is exactly the same in the Critical reception section. It's not as if it says who the other nominees were and who won it. If it did, then I would see your point, but it doesn't, it's already a one sentence summary. If people want civility, they should give it. I'm sick of people demanding and preaching to be civil when they need to look at themselves first.

Orphaned references in Loud (Rihanna album)
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Loud (Rihanna album)'s orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "HipHopDX":<ul> <li>From Man Down (song): </li> <li>From SOS (Rihanna song): </li> </ul>

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 10:53, 23 July 2016 (UTC)
