replies: text: Why I am requesting the edits: (Also see what I typed in the talk section "There is no such word/term "sub-military""). The new citation clarifies what program Rihanna was in (Cadets Corp of Barbados). This program is only for 13 to 20 year olds. It is possible this age range was different when Rihanna was 11 years old which  would have made it possible for her to join at 11; however the fact that the age range currently starts at 13 leaves doubt that she was really 11 when she was in the program. Thank you. Jacob81 (talk) 17:06, 18 September 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Age 11 should stay, since it's supported by an interview with Rihanna. The only remaining issue is how to describe Cadet Corps. —C.Fred (talk) 18:25, 18 September 2023 (UTC)

message: Could someone add that she is a "songwriter" in the beginning of the biography? She has writing credits in almost half of her discography and that seems like an appropriate and accurate thing to add. Julioplantain (talk) 07:27, 28 February 2024 (UTC)

message: The Order of National Heroes Act of Barbados does not include provision for the postnominal letters of "NH" after your name. You are simply a National Hero and referred to as The Right Excellent. It is similar to Knights Bachelor in the UK system who have no post nominals for the honour. 72.51.113.83 (talk) 15:57, 8 March 2024 (UTC)

message: Suggest to add "Bajan" to describe Rhianna's nationality. Bajan is the self-titled name for people from Barbados and the Caribbean and it would be respectful to her cultural heritage to add this. The edit would be: "Robyn Rihanna Fenty (/riˈænə/ ⓘ ree-AN-ə;[2][3][n 1] born February 20, 1988) is a Barbadian (Bajan) singer, businesswoman, and actress. 2601:643:C101:47B0:382A:4129:414F:14D1 (talk) 19:51, 8 March 2024 (UTC)

message: * What I think should be changed (format using ):
I would recommend a change from
"Rihanna went to Rogers's hotel room, where she performed renditions"
to
"Rihanna performed renditions"
Sorry that I cannot find info on what tl|textdiff is.
* Why it should be changed:
Where the renditions occurred is irrelevant. The wording seems to imply maybe something vaguely inappropriate? But it doesn't make that implication explicit, so it ends up seeming irrelevant.
* References supporting the possible change (format using the "cite" button):
