Where is Britney????? i thought she will be an artist? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.187.42.115 (talk) 18:11, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

We don't have an official tracklast yet. 87.174.72.155 (talk) 16:36, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

Is Check It Out going to appear on this album as well?
It has never appeared on any other album other than Nicki Minaj's Pink Friday. It should since its will.I.Am's song and Nicki was only featured on it.Bleubeatle (talk) 03:17, 4 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Well it seems like it is. Shouldn't it be counted as a single as well?


 * Where's THE and Great Times?72.74.136.49 (talk) 11:45, 19 March 2013 (UTC)

Let's not add single 5 yet.
"Drop That (B.E.A.T.)" & "Sexy Sexy" haven't been confirmed as singles yet. So I removed the singles. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.228.175.142 (talk) 23:19, 6 September 2012 (UTC)

Crazy Kids?
Crazy Kids is Ke$ha's song from her album "Warrior", no will.i.am. He wouldn't put it on the album just because he produced it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Unapologeticwarrior2012 (talk • contribs) 20:57, 16 December 2012 (UTC)

Album cover
The album cover has been changed from its original cover that was used on the page since August. There is no citation stating that the new album cover IS the official album cover. Please provide citations! (Eleventhblock (talk) 20:28, 5 April 2013 (UTC))
 * See the image's page, it is sourced! &mdash;  Lil_ ℧ niquℇ № 1  [talk]  21:17, 5 April 2013 (UTC)

Freshy
Please change the writers and producers on the track "Freshy (feat. Juicy J)" on the tracklisting. It was NOT produced by Dr. Luke. It was produced by FRESHM3N III. 1 2

The Writer(s) credit should read as followed: "Adams, Jordan Houston, Darrell Eversley, Howard Eversley, Shaun Spearman"

The Producer(s) credit should read as followed: "will.i.am, FRESHM3N III"

There are also a number of erroneous credits on other songs. Please amend them ASAP or take them down until the album is released. Thanks.

Track 5
The two producers listed on track 5 Arty and Mat Zo, should be removed at the moment due to controversy surrounding the track. It's reported that will.i.am stole their track without permission both artists have confirmed this and so has the record label. Aeon Orion (talk) 00:35, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
 * I disagree, it shouldn't be removed since that is the actual track listing of the album whether stolen or not. However, I agree a controversy section should be added since it has been covered by multiple sources here: 1 2 3 4  Element9.  TALK 00:59, 17 April 2013 (UTC).
 * I added a controversy section and changed the track listing back to credit Mat Zo and Arty. Iggy402 (talk) 01:25, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
 * It is common to list the writers of a sample as writers not producers. The original producers should be listed as producers. Yet, as long as the controversy is not solved, I'd recommend to not list everything as it is given by will.i.am's label but a footnote is very necessary to mention the writers of the sample. We as readers are not the judge who will handle this controversy. --212.23.103.45 (talk) 00:52, 18 April 2013 (UTC)
 * In the album credits Arty is credited as a song writer but Mat Zo isn't and neither is listed as producer nor is a sample mentioned. &mdash;  Lil_ ℧ niquℇ № 1  [talk]  16:56, 18 April 2013 (UTC)

Controversy
I think the article should mention the buzz that has been going on with Fall Down being basically identical to Die Young & Crazy Kids from Ke$ha's last album. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.55.61.147 (talk) 17:34, 29 April 2013 (UTC)

Edit request on 29 April 2013
Zack "GFG" Jones should be spelled as Zach "GFG" Jones. No 'k', it's an 'h'. This edit can be found in the producers box. I am one of the producers on this album and I would appreciate the correct spelling.

 * Yes check.svg Done - Camyoung54   talk  01:26, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

You guys recently made the edit, and now it has gone back to the WRONG spelling again. Please, correct this and LEAVE IT corrected. Thank you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.44.139.2 (talk) 23:21, 8 May 2013 (UTC)
 * ✅, it had been corrected in the track listing but not in the infobox. Now it has been done. &mdash;  Lil_ ℧ niquℇ № 1  [talk]  10:59, 9 May 2013 (UTC)

Edit request on 22 May 2013
I would like to edit a sample credit for the song "Bang Bang" which used a sample from "Epic" by Sandro Silva and Quintino.

186.15.29.208 (talk) 21:33, 22 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Red information icon with gradient background.svg Not done:. Unfortunately, Sandro Silva and Quintino were not credited on the album sleeves nor were they involved in the actual production of #Willpower regardless of whether their content was stolen or not. Element9.  TALK 23:25, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

Edit request on 22 July 2013
Jef Martens is broadly known as "Basto", not as "Lazy Jay". Please fix it in both album and single (Scream & Shout) pages. Gmirakis (talk) 14:27, 22 July 2013 (UTC)


 * per the album credits, Jef Martens is credited as Lazy Jay not Basto. also if you look at Marten's last release, he is featured on Azalia Banks' "212" > he's credited as Lazy Jay. &mdash;  Lil_ ℧ niquℇ № 1  [talk]  11:57, 22 July 2013 (UTC)


 * Marten's last release was "Dance With Me" under the alias he's known, which is "Basto" 2 weeks ago.

NEW EDIT REQUEST
According to Discogs, Lazy Jay is a production duo which consists of Jef Martens aka Basto and Toon Martens, his brother. Therefore, Basto is one half of Lazy Jay (he states it in his twitter account description as well), and it's not by any means his alias. Lazy Jay


 * In "212" only Jef is credited as well. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gmirakis (talk • contribs) 14:34, 22 July 2013 (UTC)


 * ❌, per the album booklet, it says "Produced by Lazy Jay, additional production by will.i.am", it also says "written by william adams, jef martens and jean baptiste". As for the 212 song, it is listed as Azelia Banks - "212" (featuring Lazy Jay), where for writing credits, Lazy Jay is listed as Jef Martens. We credit as per the album booklet. &mdash;  Lil_ ℧ niquℇ № 1  [talk]  22:04, 22 July 2013 (UTC)

Album title stylization
The album title has been styled #willpower in marketing, and the article uses this orthography. However MOS:TMRULES advises against "using special characters that are not pronounced, are included purely for decoration, or simply substitute for English words" in trademarks. The article should be changed accordingly, except in the first sentence, in cases where the insignia itself is being described, and perhaps in the infobox. The article about the track "#thatPower" should also be similarly updated. Augurar (talk) 07:42, 4 December 2014 (UTC)

Displaytitle the correct name
If I am right, a  magic word is enough to display the right title
