"Aguilera and pop peer Britney Spears disproved rumors of a rivalry when they came onstage, holding hands, and introduced Whitney Houston."

This has nothing to do with the article. 12.162.122.6 (talk) 18:19, 4 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"This was the last single they reach the top of the chart in the United States as a single from her album." - I can't work out what that was trying to say. Can anyone else ? -- 169.158.84.254 (talk) 02:57, 10 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Dominguez reference unreliable

[edit]

Background information provided in this article (and many others concerning Aguilera's early work) cites Christina Aguilera: A Star Is Made: The Unauthorized Biography by Pier Dominguez as a reference. While Dominguez appears now to be a doctoral student pursuing serious academic work, I am concerned about the reliability of this particular source (which was published when the author was 19 years old, before the bulk of his academic career had begun). For one thing, parts of its contents read like a fan publication (consider, for example, the following: "The fact that [Madonna] approached Christina instead of Britney for a contribution to her [The Next Best Thing] soundtrack says something about whom she really respects."). Works such as these are generally not considered reliable unless the specific cited material was itself from another reliable publication, such as a newspaper. A close examination of the bibliography to this work reveals that, while some sources cited are indeed reliable, a number of them are gossip media, Internet chatrooms, other unauthorized biographies (such as this particularly confidence-inspiring one) and the like. A newspaper review points out some of the work's factual inaccuracies and inconsistencies. Perhaps most concerning is that personal emails from Shelly Kearns, Aguilera's mother, are frequently cited as sources. However, The New York Times points out that Kearns dismissed the work; if this page, published earlier the same year, was NYT's source, then, even more troublingly, it appears the author did not even attempt to contact Kearns, despite repeatedly citing correspondence with her ("No, I've never heard of these people ... A true journalist who supposedly 'researched' something so well, you'd assume, would have tried to contact us at least once to ask questions..."). Additionally, it is perhaps worth noting that his only previous publication at this point had been released by Writer's Club Press, an author mill with no editorial oversight. This work is published by Colossus Books, which is owned by Amber Communications Group, Inc., which also allows authors to self-publish work for a fee via its Quality Press imprint ("a special service-book packaging imprint for authors who wanted to self-publish their books instead of waiting to gain an interest from mainstream publishers").

In light of these troubling facts and Wikipedia's policy on unreliable biographical information about living people ("Contentious material about living persons ... should be removed immediately and without waiting for discussion. ... The burden of evidence for any edit on Wikipedia rests with the person who adds or restores material."), particularly the policy on self-published material ("Never use self-published sources ... unless written or published by the subject"), I recommend that the information attached solely to citations of this particular Dominguez work be deleted from this page, or that these citations be replaced with those from reliable works. I would remove them myself if I had access to the edit page for this article. 98.155.5.150 (talk) 01:55, 29 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Why...?

[edit]

Why are we able to listen only to an 18-second sample instead of the full song? I mean, you do allow full versions of national anthems or other pieces to be played, so why restrict commercially-available songs to samples? Genius (a service I recommend you check out) does that if you are not logged in/subscribed to Apple Music, but if you are they do allow you to listen to the whole song, the difference being that, while you only provide between 18 and 22 seconds of the song, the Apple Music service allows longer, 30-second samples --Fandelasketchup (talk) 15:55, 24 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Fandelasketchup: Because per WP:SAMPLE, only 10% of the song's total length can be used for copyrighted songs. National anthems are not copyrighted and don't apply here. Erick (talk) 16:24, 24 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Magiciandude:, are you sure national anthems and such are not subject to the "only 10% of length" rule under Wikipedia's terms? I would revise those terms so they apply in this casse as well.
@Fandelasketchup: No, national anthems are public domain, not copyrighted. The 10% rule only applies to copyrighted songs. Erick (talk) 12:59, 13 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Magiciandude: Oh, I thought songs, when used here, were covered under the CC license and thus copyright-free --Fandelasketchup (talk) 19:08, 13 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
