Forthcoming FAR

I intend to nominate this article for FAR soon for neutrality and stability issues. No consensus was reached in any of the discussions about the lead's neutrality–users almost unanimously agreed that the page should not include a {{POV lead}} maintenance template but did not conclude that the page does not suffer from the issue the tag raises. An egregious WP:BLP violation remained in the body for over a year.[1][2]. The article has more than doubled in size.[3][4] Its two primary authors only began editing it after the FA promotion.[5] Two distinct edit wars just this year. The (understandable) difficulty in maintaining FA quality due to Swift's stardom (and sources' continual, voluminous coverage) alone is enough to warrant a review.

Examples of other BLP vios

  • "Reviews of Swift's later albums were more appreciative of her vocals" is improperly synthesized from three individual reviews and five critics from one publication
  • "Critics have highlighted Swift's versatility as an entertainer" is improperly synthesized because neither of the two sources cited (one being an individual review) wholly supports this
  • "Critics regard Swift as a rare yet successful combination" is improperly sourced with one transcript documenting a host and a critic suggesting this
  • "According to publications, Swift changed the music landscape ... and her ability to popularize" is improperly synthesized, as each part of this claim is supported by one source
  • "Journalists [note] how her actions ... reshaped ticketing models" is improperly sourced with only one source suggesting this

@KyleJoan: have any of these been addressed? If not, it might be time to go to FAR. Ten Pound Hammer(What did I screw up now?) 17:25, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@TenPoundHammer: I believe some claims have been reconstructed or removed, but these were only examples. I'm sure there are more. I'm now unsure about the FAR. There doesn't appear to be enough interest from this article's watchers to discuss its quality. The gold star is there. That seems to matter more. Not to mention that the article's nominator is an FA coordinator. Seems like a losing battle. KyleJoantalk 04:40, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 14 August 2024

In the 2023 - 2024 section, it says that The Tortured Poets Department stayed atop the Billboard 200 for 13 weeks; we should change that to 14 nonconsecutive weeks as it has been updated by Billboard. Bellsisatollin (talk) 14:22, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Taylor Swift's family

I don't think this article does enough justice to Taylor Swift's family. As I know Taylor's mother being diagnosed with cancer had a profound impact on her life and career and there is nothing about it. JustElf13 (talk) 04:00, 18 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 31 August 2024

change "was" to is" in the first sentence, she's still alive :sob: 2600:1702:5082:C60F:DC63:96E:18E6:1570 (talk) 20:25, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Done The vandalism was reverted. Gawaon (talk) 20:34, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"Occupations" list

"producer" seems a bit vague. Shouldn't it be specifically "record producer", since she's known for producing music than television and/or film? Kamo0606 (talk) 22:22, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Done I think this is fair. All the categories she's listed under at the bottom of the page mention 'record producer' specifically.

Forthcoming TFA

Hello. Already five years since Swift's first TFA appearance. What do you think about the article getting a second TFA appearance this coming Dec. 13, 2024, her 35th birthday? ScarletViolet tc 13:13, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not a good idea for now. The article's quality is currently being discussed (see above sections), and an FAR might be underway. I've been working, albeit rather slowly, my way through the article, looking for problematic and unsupported claims. If there's a consensus among editors that its quality meets the FA standards, then it can surely be considered for TFA but I don't see that happening right now.

@FrB.TG: This is noted. Will just remove the nom from the TFAP page. ScarletViolet tc 06:50, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Backing poluticos

You say you have done your research. Check how much flipping cuntmala harris has done which falls more into what trump has already suggested. Call me and I can give you a 30 second view of cuntmillas flopping. Another question is why is cuntmilla saying she can correct her wrong decisions and lack of actions over the last 1200 days? 24.96.67.20 (talk) 00:22, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
