Talk:Christina Aguilera

message: As seen the past few days, I've made some changes trying to make the article more fluid, more encyclopedic, highlighting only the most notable events in Aguilera's career, as well as her achievements and legacy. I adapted the whole article and its sections inspired by those of Cher and Madonna. Here some points:
* Particularly I don't see the need for a whole section about The Voice's back and forth, an album that didn't produce hits (Lotus) and participation in soundtracks that don't have any notable importance in her career. I tried to make it more fluid by grouping as "Bionic, acting debut in Burlesque, and Lotus". Not every album needs its own section. In Mariah's and Madonna's page (a feature article and a good article, respectively), it has section to two - and even three albums.
* Excessive sources and details for certain events. Example: "The album was promoted through the EU / UK Summer Series promotional tour, which consisted of five festival shows throughout Europe and three arena concerts in the United Kingdom.[222][223][224][225] The promotional tour received critical praise.[226][227][228][229][230]". In fact, I think this only occurs in this article. Like, I want this to be promoted to a good article too, or even a featured article. But as it is, maybe it can be difficult.
* The 'Public Image' section is full of information that is already covered throughout the article. In my edit, I tried to mention only the notable and emphasized 'Fashion' - which she has been known for since the beginning of her career.
* About 'Public image' again. Is a section really needed to cover how she dressed and dyed her hair for each album release? It makes no sense.
* All my edits were supported by reliable sources, mostly in the 'Fashion' section which is supported by leading fashion magazines. In changes to 100 million records sold I used a source from NME - the former was claiming sales of 90 million and supported by "AppleTV" (I opened it and it not even mentions 90 million or her worldwide sales) and NFTEvening (I don't think this is reliable). And even so, you all returned to the stats of 90 million with both uncertain sources. I don't understand it. Both sources were even removed in List of best-selling music artists due its unreliable.
* None of my edits removed notable events in Aguilera's career. I only removed excessive details to make it fluid and encyclopedic. Note: The current article is longer than several other featured ones.
I'm not wanting - and I don't want to - that only my edits prevail, so I opened this discussion to point it. The article's final result - with the parts I added to the main article - is in my sandbox. I was excited about the possibility of helping to promote the article to feature here in the future, as I was able to do on Wikipedia in Portuguese. I will not make new edits in the article due my poor grammar. Unfortunately my English is not good - as you've noticed - but I think some changes could be fixed than just deleting everything and going back to the previous version with other of its notable problems. Anyway, feel free to use and adapt any part of the article in my sandbox, if you want to and get interested. Thanks and good luck! Melketon (talk) 16:32, 2 May 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi! Actually a lot of what you wrote was really insightful - I think the main issue or problem was the delivery. Some of the wording was good but a lot of it wasn't grammatically correct. So rather than going through the whole page, 204060baby and I went through most of what you wrote and added back in / removed unnecessary details. I know they have been trying to cut down the lead / some of the other sections for a while now so thank you for your work. No work is ever wasted after all. We will take what you wrote into consideration!  Maxwell King123321 07:11, 3 May 2023 (UTC)

message: The InStyle source used for the marriage date says November 19, not November 18. Please correct and the divorce month in the People Magazine source says "It will be final in April 2011" February 2011 was just the date of the article. Please correct them both. 2A00:23C7:1104:F601:A1BE:310B:E1A0:5C81 (talk) 09:06, 25 July 2023 (UTC)

message: I think it’s a big oversight not to mention Christina’s endorsement and commercial ads with Nintendo. There are also many articles to support it https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/digital/christina-aguilera-nintendo-mario-kart-1235135083/amp/ 107.145.228.1 (talk) 05:12, 7 February 2024 (UTC)

text: Also, I'd note that there already are two properly licensed photos of Aguilera in the article where she is not performing: this one, and this one. But of course since Aguilera is notable as a singer, it stands to reason that most of the article's images would depict her singing. Seraphimblade Talk to me 07:33, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
