    1st paragraph          Last sentence makes no sense.  Should be “to have sold”, not “to have been selling”. Odonanmarg (talk) 06:59, 30 August 2021 (UTC)

All reference sources indicate she was appointed as Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary on September 20, 2018, not September 21. This article, for whatever fascist reason, is not editable. Smratguy (talk) 15:20, 19 September 2021 (UTC)

My fellow fascists and I have decided to allow your improperly formatted request to be heard, and, suprisingly, a close majority have decided not to have you detained in one of The Camps. I'm worried about those guys; I'm afraid they're getting soft. The dates in the article have been changed, too. — JohnFromPinckney (talk / edits) 10:24, 20 September 2021 (UTC)

The article currently says, "Fenty is a fashion brand by Rihanna under luxury fashion group LVMH which launched in May 2019. She is the first woman and also the first of color to achieve this." To achieve what? The preceding sentence isn't structured in a way to make this clear. If this is supposed to mean that Rihanna is the first woman to have a fashion brand that is part of LVMH, that would be incorrect. Celine (brand) was founded by Céline Vipiana and acquired by LVMH in 1996. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 22:45, 4 October 2021 (UTC)

The source in the inline citation at the end of that sentence ([1]) says: She will become the first woman of colour to lead a house under the LVMH brand, and the first woman to create an original brand for the group. Armadillopteryx 02:29, 5 October 2021 (UTC)

I have notice a number of errors on Rihanna’s Wikipedia page, therefore I request to correct those errors. Those errors would be her music career debut, her early life and her net worth.

Rihanna started her career in 2005, she has sold 335 million records in the US and America alone. Her father is a Irish of Bajan,English and Scottish descent. Rihanna was reported to be worth $1.7 billion in 2020, $300 million coming from her music and $1.4 billion from her make-up line Fenty Beauty, which was worth $2.8 billion at that time and now estimated to be worth $4.2 billion. She also own 31% of her lingerie line Savage X Fenty which is worth over $1 billion. Making her net worth $2.7 billion, excluding her other brands which have not been evaluated yet.

@Dreameditsbrooklyn: I think you are confused about the edit request to which I replied, and (apparently) the need for reliable sources for all changes made here.

"During her musical career, Rihanna has collaborated with many artists, such as Drake, Eminem, Jay-Z, Kanye West, Ne-Yo, and Shakira." - while Rihanna's collaborations are indeed a big part of her success, I don't think this sentence should be worded like that, especially when some of these artists aren't nearly as big as Rihanna herself. I feel like an article about Rihanna should mention HER achievements, instead of mentioning other people in the main summary, especially when its the songs, not the artists, that are associated with her name and success. I would rather re-word that sentence to something along these lines: "During her musical career, Rihanna has expanded her success by featuring on numerous hit singles by other artists, including "Run This Town", "Love the Way You Lie", "The Monster", "This Is What You Came For" and "Wild Thoughts". — Preceding unsigned comment added by Marinette2356 (talk • contribs) 14:48, 1 July 2023 (UTC)

Remove "reggae, dance, hip hop" from the genres. No source is backing that claim, which is false and lowers the content credibility of the page Lean Harvey Oswald (talk) 15:15, 14 September 2023 (UTC)

The term "sub-military" does not appear to be defined ANYWHERE on the internet. I searched thoroughly using Google, Startpage and DuckDuckGo. When searching for this term online the ONLY time it is used is to say that Rihanna was in the "sub-military". There is no other reference to anyone else in the world having to do with the "sub-military". Since this term is not defined ANYWHERE on the internet AT ALL (If you can find a page on the internet that defines it's meaning please let me know), this should be changed or removed. The correct thing to say is that the army is a branch of the military, this is what I think the author meant when they made up this word "sub-military". Jacob81 (talk) 14:29, 18 September 2023 (UTC)
