What do you all say about changing the infobox image to one of the Golden Globe ones?
Years active
Could someone clarify how her career started in 2003 is listed in the infobox, even though her first album wasn't released until 2006? As an amateur editor, I am interested in understanding this discrepancy. Thank you. Newpicarchive (talk) 13:53, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Per the article history section, she began recording music in 2003, thus she was active beginning that year. glman (talk) 14:01, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Lead sentence paragraph
Debate over best lead sentence paragraph, feel free to add options below:
Taylor Alison Swift (born December 13, 1989) is an American singer-songwriter. Her reinventive artistry, distinctive songwriting and entrepreneurship have been widely publicized and influential. (as is)
They all contain puffery with words like "distinctive", and some of the piped links here are too Easter egg-y (e.g. "influential"). This version is fine and fully complies with the neutral point of view policy while properly conveying her influence. FrB.TG (talk) 06:36, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Should this be discussed in the lead? They are complete re-recordings and include new music, so should they be considered additional albums and given mention in the lead? LegalSmeagolian (talk) 19:37, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I think saying that at the start is unnecessary because it's already mentioned in the history heading. But I'll let other more experienced editors than me to make that decision Tonkarooson (talk) 01:01, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The fact that she re-recorded four albums IS in the lead section, and MUST remain in the lead section. The fact is very widely discussed in the media, and is critically important to her career arc. Listing the four albums is much less important for the lead section. Binksternet (talk) 04:24, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
