"The tour sold out 1 million tickets within a month"
???
At the source of the Billboard (157) says nothing of this...
"Beyonce last toured in 2009-2010 with her I Am...” world tour, which grossed $85.6 million and drew nearly 1 million people to 73 shows reported to Billboard Boxscore".
This isn´t about Mrs Carter Show tour.. You put here a wrong information! They only say the selling out is fast!! But they not say any number!
Just placed a deletion request on the page I Am... Mrs. Carter as it is un-sourced and clearly fake. The author has also added it to her album chronology and discography. -- Lolcakes25 ( talk) 17:42, 21 April 2013 (UTC)

1) The Center for Science in the Public Interest launched a campaign a month prior to the inauguration to try to get Beyoncé to change her mind. 2) Laurie David started the petition on We the People to get her disinvited to the inauguration and remained equally condemnatory after the petition was taken down by the White House. These, I believe, constitute heavy, involved criticism.
Nowhere do I say claim that it was the wider media that heavily criticized her: Get to the rest of the sentence. "She has been heavily criticized for this endorsement by the Center for Science in the Public Interest, New York Times's food writer Mark Bittmann and environmentalist Laurie David."-- Aichik ( talk) 19:04, 25 March 2013 (UTC)
Beyoncé has had controversies and criticisms throughout her entire career. She has also been a partner with Pepsi for over 10 years. Why should we start adding every little criticism she receives now. Also, none of these criticisms achieved anything, especially Laurie David's, who was completely ignored -- Lolcakes25 ( talk) 12:08, 26 March 2013 (UTC)

Like I wrote at the very top of this discussion, 1) The Center for Science in the Public Interest launched a campaign a month prior to the inauguration to try to get Beyoncé to change her mind. A month. By a science organization. 2) Laurie David started the petition on We the People to get her disinvited to the inauguration and remained equally condemnatory after the petition was taken down by the White House. And she's an environmentalist. These, I believe, constitute heavy, involved, and unusual criticism. It's not PETA, going on about her and her furs. It's not an anti-smoking group of mothers angered by her glamorizing smoking. And, these are each individually more than a mere statement to the press once. (So no, "heavily" is different from your "extremely" in "extremely positive reviews.") As for the other stuff, look on your talk page soon.-- Aichik ( talk) 00:23, 23 April 2013 (UTC)
Yours is a literal reading to suit your own ends. And don't throw Wikipedia rules at me like some overeager law student, I know what they are. The critiques were heavy! Deal with it!

More than 50 million Americans go hungry every day. With economic downtimes increasing and the unemployment becoming the norm for so many people, iconic entertainer and performer Beyoncé along with her mom, award-winning fashion designer Tina Knowles and entertainers Solange, Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams have all joined forces with Bread of Life, Inc. the Houston-based non-profit organization founded by Rudy and Juanita Rasmus, to fight for the needs of the less fortunate with a fundraising campaign they call Miss A Meal.
Miss A Meal meets the Needs of the Hungry!
Every day people like you and I simply decide to Miss A Meal and then donate the money that we would have spent on that meal to feed someone less fortunate. With a nominal cost of $1.00 per person to provide one well balanced meal, Miss A Meal supporters are able to donate multiple meals through a single donation.
Beyoncé, Ms. Tina, Solange, Kelly and Michelle have decided to take charge of passing the plate with the simple premise that one person has the power to help many.
Miss A Meal today; It Only Takes One Plate!

Beyonce partners with Goodwill to Transform Lives
ROCKVILLE, Md., April 15, 2013 - Goodwill Industries International is pleased to announce that Beyonce Knowles-Carter will lend her voice to help raise awareness about Goodwill's mission of transforming lives through the power of work. The announcement comes just as Beyonce gets ready to kick off The Mrs. Carter Show World Tour today in Serbia.

As I already stated in my edit summary, I find the mention of the Billboard Millenium award, an award that started only two years ago unnecessary in the intro of an article in GA reassessment status. Compared to the Grammys, the MTV Music Video Award (for music videos), and compared even to other Billboard Awards of which there are numerous, it is minor. If a governing body or a magazine comes out with 46 awards a year, it relegates all of their important-sounding awards to minor status, unfortunately, especially one that is only two years old. Lastly, the "Billboard Millenium award" is not even included in the main chronology of Beyoncé career.-- Aichik ( talk) 21:12, 8 March 2013 (UTC)

Band - It´s missing Mrs. Carter Show World Tour!
In this section "Stage and alter ego" I think it would be very interesting add Beyhive definition - "Stage, Alter ego and Beyhive" This is how she defines her base-fan. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BeyHive#cite_ref-beyonce1_8-4
"Deep inside the Beehive lives numerous bees. Some come in swarms, while others fly solo. With the characteristic of fiercely stinging threats and enemies, all bees tend to get clumped together into the same colony. However, all bees are not the same. The only thing all bees have in common is that the Queen Bee keeps them buzzing." http://knowyourbees.tumblr.com/
After that , with this inf available here you can add in "Also known as" Sasha Fierce and Queen B on top, everyone knows that, it should be add!
In the middle of the paragraph that starts with her first recording in her solo career being on Jay-Z's "03 Bonnie & Clyde," there's the sentence about her being "the first artist in 20 years and first female artist in chart history to have both and album and single debut at the top of UK and US charts at the same time". The sole reference for this is Beyoncé's own site, making it a self-published fact. Could someone find something in the press, thanks?-- Aichik ( talk) 14:54, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
We say that Destiny's Child signed with Elektra, then Columbia. Then in this section, we talk about Knowles' 2013 agreement with Warner/Chappell. Those are the only mentions of record labels she's dealt with. We need the one(s) in between (and, perhaps the reason why she jumped to a new label this year).
Also, we have her mother's ethnic background broken down in great detail, but not her father's: Many African Americans are of mixed heritage. Does anyone know what his background is? Is he the one with some Irish ancestry, alluded to at the end of the Huffington Post article?-- Aichik ( talk) 15:43, 30 April 2013 (UTC)-- Aichik ( talk) 15:43, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
1. In the section on her music and voice, there is a sentence "Some of her songs are autobiographical or taken from friends experiences." Could we have a sentence or two to illustrate this point? Otherwise we should cut. I'll be adding other material to the top part of the section.
2. Would be nice to have: In the Family section, we talk about her 2010 or 2011 miscarriage and her returning to the studio and writing music to cope with her loss. For which album was this?-- Aichik ( talk) 16:01, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

In the Philanthropy section, it'd be good to have anything before 2010, say, be major, like the Survivor Foundation or Haiti. (I'm adding numbers to the latter as we speak.) I'd like to take out bit on the "Stand Up for Love" song which was done for Destiny's Child, with McDonald's (so self-promotional for them as well as being philanthropic on their part), and for a day that seems innocuous. It's also an event and cause for which I can't find how much was raised or where the money went specifically. Okay? So we have room to add details about more recent stuff (Chime for Change, London concert, Miss a Meal) as they come in?-- Aichik ( talk) 16:15, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

We attribute one Billboard list to two writers here in the third paragraph (Keith Caulfield and Gary Trust) when we don't do it anywhere else. Okay to take them out?
Related: In the Honors and awards section we talk about Knowles being ranked #53 on VH1's list of 100 Greatest Artists of All Time yet merely two years later, she is suddenly third on VH1's 100 Greatest Women in Music. I know the status of women in music isn't all that great but isn't this a little extreme in the discrepancy? What happened in between? Could we take the first, or both, out? -- Aichik ( talk) 18:37, 7 May 2013 (UTC)
I just added the new main image to the article as we need a new one and I took the picture, however I understand it is at an angle and does not look as good when shrunk down to wiki size.

The third paragraph is entirely rankings: Describing one's wealth relative to others' isn't an honor or an award, it's ranking. Rankings are also listed in the other two prior paragraphs. In the first, there is one near the end, "VH1 ranked her third on their list of the "100 Greatest Women in Music" (my emphasis). In the second it's those record Grammy nominations, rankings from the awards/nominations. You can't make awards out of awards, in other words. -- Aichik ( talk) 21:30, 20 May 2013 (UTC)
I strongly disagree with once again padding the lead section of the article with lists upon list of accomplishments of how great Beyonce is. An article about a singer has gone on to talk about album sales, and the video for "Single Ladies" and public declaration of marriage etc etc etc and "Crazy in Love" being voted by some magazine as the greatest in history. All this is not necessary, and it's what I was trying to move away from when I edited out the fluff and crafted a succinct account of the artist and her music. Can we just change it back please? The previous organization was a lot better than this. 199.198.223.106 ( talk) 18:22, 23 May 2013 (UTC) ( User:Journalist)

The looks already mentioned that Rihanna and Ciara allegedly stole are of Beyoncé's performance persona, so we can add the converse instances where Beyoncé borrowed looks from other people, most recently the look from her Mrs. Carter world tour.-- Aichik ( talk) 18:34, 25 May 2013 (UTC)
Concerning "copying"; Knowles has asserted she viewed both artists (De Keermaeker and Cuccarini) work and was inspired from them. It also turns out the latter's work was inspired by another artist's work. All three cases refer to the artist's music videos (and are found on these pages), which are ultimately irrelevant to a Public image section. This part of the article should not serve as a hotchpotch of criticism which should and could be integrated into the biography section or even other related articles (which in this case it has been). I have always supported the inclusion of criticism and controversy in BLPs, however, poorly-sourced material put into a section it does not belong, serves only to make a point which is unfounded. I would also reiterate that I support the removal of the Rihanna/Ciara information which also seems to deviate from the point. Regards. — User:JennKR | ☎ 19:55, 25 May 2013 (UTC)
Hello,
On Beyonce's discography page is Mrs. Carter as an album listed. I have seen reports that this will be the name of her upcoming album, but it isn't listed on this page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.60.158.111 ( talk) 16:46, 27 May 2013 (UTC)
P.S. I find it really interesting that the article isn't simply titled "Beyoncé", since that's how I see her overwhelmingly referred to as in most reliable sources I've ever read. Even all her concert tickets and albums that I've seen have her first name only. And I just noticed that the lead of this articles says "known simply as Beyoncé", which makes one think: If she's known simply as Beyoncé, then that's saying Beyoncé is her common name. So it seems, from my experience, that Beyoncé is clearly her common name, but I wouldn't be surprised it there have been numerous heated debates here about this issue. ;) Just an observation. -- 76.189.109.155 ( talk) 21:41, 25 May 2013 (UTC)
Reading over Wikipedia:Naming conventions (people), the following is mentioned:
I think the previous move discussions have neglected this; the singular form is undoubtedly the true artist's name and stage name; all music has been released by her under the singular and her official websites ("beyonce.com" and "beyonceonline.com") have used this. "Knowles" is only used in reference to her acting career and other ventures, and is becoming increasingly redundant considering she is now "Knowles-Carter" and is using this more frequently. Do you think a requested move should be made? Regards. — JennKR | ☎ 15:07, 28 May 2013 (UTC)

"New Year's Eve 2009 Beyonce performed in St. Barts, for the likes of Lindsay Lohan, Russell Simmons, her husband Jay-Z, Usher and Jon Bon Jovi--and the family of Libyan strongman Moammar Gaddafi (war criminal and terrorist) footed the bill. Hannibal Gaddafi was host to the party and is no stranger to violence No confirmation on just how much Hannibal paid Beyonce for her private performance. Asked to comment, Beyonce's spokesperson, Yvette Noel-Schure emailed The Huffington Post: "All monies paid to Beyoncé for her performance at a private party at Nikki Beach St. Barts on New Year's Eve 2009, including the commissions paid to her booking agency, were donated to the earthquake relief efforts in Haiti, over a year ago. Once it became known that the third party promoter was linked to the Qaddafi family, the decision was made to put that payment to a good cause." It took an entire year to find out how signed the check.
I think this should be included being that it involves high profile political leaders. I apologize this is my first time adding to Wikipedia so I'm not sure what to do exactly I found this info on the Huffington Post wed site.
It should also be added the she and jay-z took a trip to Cuba. Being that it is such a hot button political is with the embargo and all. Let me know what you think. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wafflecrisp ( talk • contribs) 17:55, 7 June 2013 (UTC)

I thought the unnecessary "Knowles" in the page's title was one of those oversights and I decided to move this page to "Beyoncé". But unbeknownst to me (I was never previously involved in any editing and/or discussing here) this was apparently a, quote, "controversial" act according to an editor, who promptly proceeded to revert it back.
Like I stated, not only did I not know it was controversial but I still don't! But I do want to know, so I opened this section as I see no discussion here on what valid grounds it is still titled "Beyoncé Knowles" in 2013.
The only thing I notice here on the talk page are the archived polling activities involving mostly the exact same editors and that is totally inadequate since polling is not a substitute for discussion.
And the discussion is simple: anno 2013 "Knowles" in the title is not only outrageously redundant (increasingly as time goes by), but nowadays it has become downright semi-inaccurate! The first sentence of this article itself refutes the title: she is now is a married person and as such "Carter" has also been added to her last name. So "Beyonce Knowles" is neither accurate nor common by any stretch of imagination. So quit vote stacking and do the only right thing: change the title to the one used by nearly all verified sources currently (almost all the "Knowles" references that I skimmed thru on the internet are old/longstanding pages that have evidently been un-updated). Literally all the fresh references of her in newspaper articles and the like nowadays (anno 2013) are all just "Beyoncé". I haven't found one "Beyonce Knowles" titled article. Here is a (by no means exhaustive) example of that:
-
2013 New York Times articles using the title "Beyoncé"................. 17
2013 New York Times articles using the title "Beyoncé Knowles"......... 0
Loginnigol ( talk) 22:52, 1 August 2013 (UTC)
"to get past protections that you don't like (while claiming to be performing a "merge") and then coming to the talk page and saying that you "did not know it was controversial" is a really good way to get blocked for bad faith and disruptive editing."
Here are my reasons why it should move (that have yet to be addressed even once):
-
2013 New York Times articles using the title "Beyoncé"................. 17
2013 New York Times articles using the title "Beyoncé Knowles"......... 0
Yawn! Favonian awakens. Regarding Loginnigol's claim " I don't think Favonian reverted me just cause of the way I moved it - otherwise he would not have just reverted but corrected and completed my move", I did indeed revert because cut-and-paste moves are a bad thing. I don't personally give a hoot what the article is called, but I was aware of the multitude of discussions, so clearly the move couldn't be completed as uncontroversial. Over-and-out and off to work!

"The tour sold out 1 million tickets within a month"
???
At the source of the Billboard (157) says nothing of this...
"Beyonce last toured in 2009-2010 with her I Am...” world tour, which grossed $85.6 million and drew nearly 1 million people to 73 shows reported to Billboard Boxscore".
This isn´t about Mrs Carter Show tour.. You put here a wrong information! They only say the selling out is fast!! But they not say any number!
Just placed a deletion request on the page I Am... Mrs. Carter as it is un-sourced and clearly fake. The author has also added it to her album chronology and discography. -- Lolcakes25 ( talk) 17:42, 21 April 2013 (UTC)

1) The Center for Science in the Public Interest launched a campaign a month prior to the inauguration to try to get Beyoncé to change her mind. 2) Laurie David started the petition on We the People to get her disinvited to the inauguration and remained equally condemnatory after the petition was taken down by the White House. These, I believe, constitute heavy, involved criticism.
Nowhere do I say claim that it was the wider media that heavily criticized her: Get to the rest of the sentence. "She has been heavily criticized for this endorsement by the Center for Science in the Public Interest, New York Times's food writer Mark Bittmann and environmentalist Laurie David."-- Aichik ( talk) 19:04, 25 March 2013 (UTC)
Beyoncé has had controversies and criticisms throughout her entire career. She has also been a partner with Pepsi for over 10 years. Why should we start adding every little criticism she receives now. Also, none of these criticisms achieved anything, especially Laurie David's, who was completely ignored -- Lolcakes25 ( talk) 12:08, 26 March 2013 (UTC)

Like I wrote at the very top of this discussion, 1) The Center for Science in the Public Interest launched a campaign a month prior to the inauguration to try to get Beyoncé to change her mind. A month. By a science organization. 2) Laurie David started the petition on We the People to get her disinvited to the inauguration and remained equally condemnatory after the petition was taken down by the White House. And she's an environmentalist. These, I believe, constitute heavy, involved, and unusual criticism. It's not PETA, going on about her and her furs. It's not an anti-smoking group of mothers angered by her glamorizing smoking. And, these are each individually more than a mere statement to the press once. (So no, "heavily" is different from your "extremely" in "extremely positive reviews.") As for the other stuff, look on your talk page soon.-- Aichik ( talk) 00:23, 23 April 2013 (UTC)

More than 50 million Americans go hungry every day. With economic downtimes increasing and the unemployment becoming the norm for so many people, iconic entertainer and performer Beyoncé along with her mom, award-winning fashion designer Tina Knowles and entertainers Solange, Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams have all joined forces with Bread of Life, Inc. the Houston-based non-profit organization founded by Rudy and Juanita Rasmus, to fight for the needs of the less fortunate with a fundraising campaign they call Miss A Meal.
Miss A Meal meets the Needs of the Hungry!
Every day people like you and I simply decide to Miss A Meal and then donate the money that we would have spent on that meal to feed someone less fortunate. With a nominal cost of $1.00 per person to provide one well balanced meal, Miss A Meal supporters are able to donate multiple meals through a single donation.
Beyoncé, Ms. Tina, Solange, Kelly and Michelle have decided to take charge of passing the plate with the simple premise that one person has the power to help many.
Miss A Meal today; It Only Takes One Plate!

Beyoncé is Lending Her Voice for GOODWILL
Beyonce partners with Goodwill to Transform Lives
ROCKVILLE, Md., April 15, 2013 - Goodwill Industries International is pleased to announce that Beyonce Knowles-Carter will lend her voice to help raise awareness about Goodwill's mission of transforming lives through the power of work. The announcement comes just as Beyonce gets ready to kick off The Mrs. Carter Show World Tour today in Serbia.
"Goodwill helps people get back to work by providing education, job training and placement. I wanted to team up with an organization that puts people first and works every day to help them improve and re-establish their lives," said Beyonce.

As I already stated in my edit summary, I find the mention of the Billboard Millenium award, an award that started only two years ago unnecessary in the intro of an article in GA reassessment status. Compared to the Grammys, the MTV Music Video Award (for music videos), and compared even to other Billboard Awards of which there are numerous, it is minor. If a governing body or a magazine comes out with 46 awards a year, it relegates all of their important-sounding awards to minor status, unfortunately, especially one that is only two years old. Lastly, the "Billboard Millenium award" is not even included in the main chronology of Beyoncé career.-- Aichik ( talk) 21:12, 8 March 2013 (UTC)

Band - It´s missing Mrs. Carter Show World Tour!
In this section "Stage and alter ego" I think it would be very interesting add Beyhive definition - "Stage, Alter ego and Beyhive" This is how she defines her base-fan. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BeyHive#cite_ref-beyonce1_8-4
"Deep inside the Beehive lives numerous bees. Some come in swarms, while others fly solo. With the characteristic of fiercely stinging threats and enemies, all bees tend to get clumped together into the same colony. However, all bees are not the same. The only thing all bees have in common is that the Queen Bee keeps them buzzing." http://knowyourbees.tumblr.com/
After that , with this inf available here you can add in "Also known as" Sasha Fierce and Queen B on top, everyone knows that, it should be add!
In the middle of the paragraph that starts with her first recording in her solo career being on Jay-Z's "03 Bonnie & Clyde," there's the sentence about her being "the first artist in 20 years and first female artist in chart history to have both and album and single debut at the top of UK and US charts at the same time". The sole reference for this is Beyoncé's own site, making it a self-published fact. Could someone find something in the press, thanks?-- Aichik ( talk) 14:54, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
We say that Destiny's Child signed with Elektra, then Columbia. Then in this section, we talk about Knowles' 2013 agreement with Warner/Chappell. Those are the only mentions of record labels she's dealt with. We need the one(s) in between (and, perhaps the reason why she jumped to a new label this year).
Also, we have her mother's ethnic background broken down in great detail, but not her father's: Many African Americans are of mixed heritage. Does anyone know what his background is? Is he the one with some Irish ancestry, alluded to at the end of the Huffington Post article?-- Aichik ( talk) 15:43, 30 April 2013 (UTC)-- Aichik ( talk) 15:43, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
1. In the section on her music and voice, there is a sentence "Some of her songs are autobiographical or taken from friends experiences." Could we have a sentence or two to illustrate this point? Otherwise we should cut. I'll be adding other material to the top part of the section.
2. Would be nice to have: In the Family section, we talk about her 2010 or 2011 miscarriage and her returning to the studio and writing music to cope with her loss. For which album was this?-- Aichik ( talk) 16:01, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

In the Philanthropy section, it'd be good to have anything before 2010, say, be major, like the Survivor Foundation or Haiti. (I'm adding numbers to the latter as we speak.) I'd like to take out bit on the "Stand Up for Love" song which was done for Destiny's Child, with McDonald's (so self-promotional for them as well as being philanthropic on their part), and for a day that seems innocuous. It's also an event and cause for which I can't find how much was raised or where the money went specifically. Okay? So we have room to add details about more recent stuff (Chime for Change, London concert, Miss a Meal) as they come in?-- Aichik ( talk) 16:15, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

Related: In the Honors and awards section we talk about Knowles being ranked #53 on VH1's list of 100 Greatest Artists of All Time yet merely two years later, she is suddenly third on VH1's 100 Greatest Women in Music.

The third paragraph is entirely rankings: Describing one's wealth relative to others' isn't an honor or an award, it's ranking. Rankings are also listed in the other two prior paragraphs. In the first, there is one near the end, "VH1 ranked her third on their list of the "100 Greatest Women in Music" (my emphasis). In the second it's those record Grammy nominations, rankings from the awards/nominations. You can't make awards out of awards, in other words. -- Aichik ( talk) 21:30, 20 May 2013 (UTC)
I strongly disagree with once again padding the lead section of the article with lists upon list of accomplishments of how great Beyonce is. An article about a singer has gone on to talk about album sales, and the video for "Single Ladies" and public declaration of marriage etc etc etc and "Crazy in Love" being voted by some magazine as the greatest in history. All this is not necessary, and it's what I was trying to move away from when I edited out the fluff and crafted a succinct account of the artist and her music. Can we just change it back please? The previous organization was a lot better than this. 199.198.223.106 ( talk) 18:22, 23 May 2013 (UTC) ( User:Journalist)

The looks already mentioned that Rihanna and Ciara allegedly stole are of Beyoncé's performance persona, so we can add the converse instances where Beyoncé borrowed looks from other people, most recently the look from her Mrs. Carter world tour.-- Aichik ( talk) 18:34, 25 May 2013 (UTC)
Concerning "copying"; Knowles has asserted she viewed both artists (De Keermaeker and Cuccarini) work and was inspired from them. It also turns out the latter's work was inspired by another artist's work. All three cases refer to the artist's music videos (and are found on these pages), which are ultimately irrelevant to a Public image section. This part of the article should not serve as a hotchpotch of criticism which should and could be integrated into the biography section or even other related articles (which in this case it has been). I have always supported the inclusion of criticism and controversy in BLPs, however, poorly-sourced material put into a section it does not belong, serves only to make a point which is unfounded. I would also reiterate that I support the removal of the Rihanna/Ciara information which also seems to deviate from the point. Regards. — User:JennKR | ☎ 19:55, 25 May 2013 (UTC)
Hello,
On Beyonce's discography page is Mrs. Carter as an album listed. I have seen reports that this will be the name of her upcoming album, but it isn't listed on this page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.60.158.111 ( talk) 16:46, 27 May 2013 (UTC)
P.S. I find it really interesting that the article isn't simply titled "Beyoncé", since that's how I see her overwhelmingly referred to as in most reliable sources I've ever read. Even all her concert tickets and albums that I've seen have her first name only. And I just noticed that the lead of this articles says "known simply as Beyoncé", which makes one think: If she's known simply as Beyoncé, then that's saying Beyoncé is her common name. So it seems, from my experience, that Beyoncé is clearly her common name, but I wouldn't be surprised it there have been numerous heated debates here about this issue. ;) Just an observation. -- 76.189.109.155 ( talk) 21:41, 25 May 2013 (UTC)
Reading over Wikipedia:Naming conventions (people), the following is mentioned:
I think the previous move discussions have neglected this; the singular form is undoubtedly the true artist's name and stage name; all music has been released by her under the singular and her official websites ("beyonce.com" and "beyonceonline.com") have used this. "Knowles" is only used in reference to her acting career and other ventures, and is becoming increasingly redundant considering she is now "Knowles-Carter" and is using this more frequently. Do you think a requested move should be made? Regards. — JennKR | ☎ 15:07, 28 May 2013 (UTC)

"New Year's Eve 2009 Beyonce performed in St. Barts, for the likes of Lindsay Lohan, Russell Simmons, her husband Jay-Z, Usher and Jon Bon Jovi--and the family of Libyan strongman Moammar Gaddafi (war criminal and terrorist) footed the bill. Hannibal Gaddafi was host to the party and is no stranger to violence No confirmation on just how much Hannibal paid Beyonce for her private performance. Asked to comment, Beyonce's spokesperson, Yvette Noel-Schure emailed The Huffington Post: "All monies paid to Beyoncé for her performance at a private party at Nikki Beach St. Barts on New Year's Eve 2009, including the commissions paid to her booking agency, were donated to the earthquake relief efforts in Haiti, over a year ago. Once it became known that the third party promoter was linked to the Qaddafi family, the decision was made to put that payment to a good cause." It took an entire year to find out how signed the check.
I think this should be included being that it involves high profile political leaders. I apologize this is my first time adding to Wikipedia so I'm not sure what to do exactly I found this info on the Huffington Post wed site.

I thought the unnecessary "Knowles" in the page's title was one of those oversights and I decided to move this page to "Beyoncé". But unbeknownst to me (I was never previously involved in any editing and/or discussing here) this was apparently a, quote, "controversial" act according to an editor, who promptly proceeded to revert it back.
Like I stated, not only did I not know it was controversial but I still don't! But I do want to know, so I opened this section as I see no discussion here on what valid grounds it is still titled "Beyoncé Knowles" in 2013.
The only thing I notice here on the talk page are the archived polling activities involving mostly the exact same editors and that is totally inadequate since polling is not a substitute for discussion.
And the discussion is simple: anno 2013 "Knowles" in the title is not only outrageously redundant (increasingly as time goes by), but nowadays it has become downright semi-inaccurate! The first sentence of this article itself refutes the title: she is now is a married person and as such "Carter" has also been added to her last name. So "Beyonce Knowles" is neither accurate nor common by any stretch of imagination. So quit vote stacking and do the only right thing: change the title to the one used by nearly all verified sources currently (almost all the "Knowles" references that I skimmed thru on the internet are old/longstanding pages that have evidently been un-updated). Literally all the fresh references of her in newspaper articles and the like nowadays (anno 2013) are all just "Beyoncé". I haven't found one "Beyonce Knowles" titled article. Here is a (by no means exhaustive) example of that:
-
2013 New York Times articles using the title "Beyoncé"................. 17
2013 New York Times articles using the title "Beyoncé Knowles"......... 0

"to get past protections that you don't like (while claiming to be performing a "merge") and then coming to the talk page and saying that you "did not know it was controversial" is a really good way to get blocked for bad faith and disruptive editing."
Here are my reasons why it should move (that have yet to be addressed even once):
-
2013 New York Times articles using the title "Beyoncé"................. 17
2013 New York Times articles using the title "Beyoncé Knowles"......... 0
Yawn! Favonian awakens. Regarding Loginnigol's claim " I don't think Favonian reverted me just cause of the way I moved it - otherwise he would not have just reverted but corrected and completed my move", I did indeed revert because cut-and-paste moves are a bad thing. I don't personally give a hoot what the article is called, but I was aware of the multitude of discussions, so clearly the move couldn't be completed as uncontroversial. Over-and-out and off to work!
