Isn't there going to be an article about this compilation? I see the Glory article depicts this compilation as its successor, but there's no page for that.

Looks like somebody just created an article. PF4Eva ( talk) 05:25, 24 June 2021 (UTC)
From the article:
What in the world was that verbiage supposed to mean?
This involves the problem of the Vague Antecedent. “A pronoun should not have two possible antecedents in the same sentence.” See generally Madeline Semmelmeyer & Donald O. Bolander, The New Webster’s Grammar Guide, pp. 59-60 (Berkley Books, 1987).
The pronoun “Her” appears to refer to Britney Spears. That seems OK.
However, the verbiage indicates that Emma Jean Spears committed suicide on either the grave of Emma’s father’s infant brother, or on the grave of Britney’s father’s infant brother. The proper antecedent for the pronoun “her” is unclear.
The sentence goes on to say that this event occurred when “he” (presumably referring to either Emma’s father’s infant brother or Britney’s father’s infant brother) was “age 13.” If the person in question had a grave, that person presumably was dead and buried. We do not normally refer to a dead person as being “age 13” (or any other age) after the person is dead. Again, the proper antecedent for the pronoun “he” is unclear.
Perhaps the pronoun “he” was intended to refer to the father -- not to the father’s dead infant brother. If so, perhaps the article should read:
I’m not going to subscribe to the New York Times just to try to sort out what the heck the article is trying to say here.
Exactly what meaning was intended with the quoted material? Famspear ( talk) 03:34, 24 June 2021 (UTC)

Spears dated Justin Timberlake from 1998-2002, after meeting on The Mickey Mouse Club. [1] [2] They made headlines after wearing matching denim outfits on the red carpet to the 2001 AMA. [3]
In Jan. 2004, Spears married her childhood friend, Jason Alexander, in Vegas. The marriage was annulled 55 hours later. [4]
Spears married Kevin Federline on October 6th 2004, after a three month courtship. Federline and Spears have two sons together, Sean Preston (born September 14, 2005) and Jayden James (born September 12, 2006). In 2005, the former couple starred in the reality television series Britney & Kevin: Chaotic. [5] In Nov. 2006, Spears filed for divorce and was finalized July 2007. On July 26, 2008, Federline was granted sole legal and physical custody of the children with Spears having visitation rights, that has since been changed to 70-30. [6] Federline receives an estimated $35,000 per month in child support. [7]
In December 2011, Spears became engaged to her former agent and boyfriend of a year and half, Jason Trawick. In January 2013, Spears and Trawick broke-up. [8]
Spears has been dating Sam Asghari since 2016, after meeting him on the set of of her music video " Slumber Party." [9] — Preceding unsigned comment added by IMme4u09 ( talk • contribs) 19:22, 21 September 2019 (UTC)

Change "his fiancée" to "her fiancée". The incorrect pronoun is used.
Trawick gained legal control of Spears as his fiancée and became a co-conservator, alongside her father, in April 2012.[165] Percula D ( talk) 22:17, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
With the ongoing news coverage, I suggest splitting the sections #2008–2010: Conservatorship and Circus and #2019–present: Conservatorship dispute, #FreeBritney, and abuse allegations into its own article, titled Conservatorship of Britney Spears.

In her early life section we do mention briefly that she took up gymnastics in her youth. However, one, perhaps, noteworthy aspect of that we do not include is that she attended the training camp of of Bela Karolyi in her youth gymnastics.

I found a 1999 Newsweek article which reports that she attended it. https://www.newsweek.com/pops-sexy-teen-angel-169246 SecretName101 ( talk) 14:52, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
No. I'm hoping a situation like that on Beyoncé's article (a very lengthy, months-long, heated debate) will be avoided. Britney Spears was described as a songwriter in the lead and infobox of this article for years, and there is no justification to remove that profession from both the lede and the infobox without any discussion nor consensus. 1. Britney Spears has over 70 songwriting credits [1] including one sole songwriting credit for the song 'Someday, I Will Understand' and Billboard-charting hits such as 'Everytime', 'Me Against the Music', 'Make Me...' and 'Work Bitch'. 2. Britney Spears has written songs for herself and other artists such as Selena Gomez and BoA. 3. Britney Spears was defined as a songwriter by major publications such as Rolling Stone [2], MTV [3], Digital Spy [4] and Billboard [5] 4. Britney's songwriting contribution may not be as extensive as some of her contemporaries, but what I've just listed shows sufficient notability for inclusion of "songwriter" in both the lede and infobox. If Spears had only co-written several songs like Céline Dion, it would be different, but that's not certainly not the case here.

The article currently has the sentence:

So, I have seen two claims on the wiki page, that continously get edited on and off. Both claims use Billboard as a source, but the one claiming 150 million ( see here, also used by Forbes as the other editor put in) is actually talking about a number, while the other source ( see here) does not even state the 100 million. Sadly, the editor OnMyRadar does not explain the deletion at all, and just kicks it out. I would like to know what the decision making is in this case?

Britney Jean Spears is an American singer,songwrter,and actress
@ 174.115.12.230, Dionysos1993, and Theknine2: Because of the perception some have of her, regardless of the facts. I’ve just corrected this. Per my edit summary: "This was discussed before, and there is too much yo-yoing in this regard. Spears has 75 songwriting credits, incl. 7 songs on her most recent studio album, 'Glory', and she has one sole songwriting credit for the single ‘Someday (I Will Understand)’. For comparison, Billie Eilish has 86 songwriting credits (all co-written), only 11 more songs, and she’s considered a songwriter. Ava Max has about 40 credits and is considered a songwriter. Besides, the article mentions Spears’ development as such."
Not only this was removed from the lead, this was removed from the infobox without any prior discussion. As evidenced by an endless discussion pertaining to Beyoncé’s article ( [6], [7] [8]), way too much time is spent and wasted on Wikipedia debating such matter when that time could be spent adding content to Wikipedia. If the article mentions the artist’s songwriting process and development, and the artist does indeed have songwriting as part of their regular craft, even if they only write a third of their material, then they are indeed a songwriter and it's notable enough. If, on the other hand, they barely have two or five songwriting credits or so like Whitney Houston or Céline Dion, then it may be preferable to omit that title altogether from both the lead and infobox.
And finally, for those who would bring up playing an instrument, Britney plays the piano, but that is not a prerequisite to be a songwriter. For example, it is possible to create melodies and sing them to an instrumentalist who then plays and arranges music from those melodies. One can sing a melody into a microphone, and then convert one’s voice into MIDI notes and compose music that way. One’s voice is an instrument. And goes without saying, one can author lyrics without playing any instrument at all, and a lyricist is a songwriter—so is a topline writer who authors lyrics and creates vocal melodies after the instrumental was composed.

@ OnMyRadar, Calebh12, and Carlos BCN: This was discussed before, and there is too much yo-yoing in this regard. Spears has 75 songwriting credits (mostly album tracks), incl. 7 songs on her most recent studio album 'Glory', hits such as 'Me Against the Music', 'Everytime', 'Work Bitch', 'Perfume' and 'Make Me...', the French single 'Anticipating', and she has one sole songwriting credit for the single ‘Someday (I Will Understand)’. For comparison, Billie Eilish has 86 songwriting credits (all co-written), only 11 more songs, and she’s considered a songwriter. Ava Max has about 40 credits and is considered a songwriter.

Query under the "1998–2000: ...Baby One More Time and Oops!... I Did It Again" section where it says:
"Oops!... I Did It Again, Spears's second studio album, was released in May 2000. It debuted at number one in the US, selling 1.3 million copies, breaking the Nielsen SoundScan record for the highest debut sales by any solo artist."
I don't understand how her second album could break the Nielsen Soundscan record for the highest DEBUT sales by any solo artist. If it's her second album than it's not her debut album or her debut sales. Is there some way to clarify this because to me it reads as conflicting information.

With no disrespect to Britney Spears intended, "time" hasn't ended, and until it does it would be more appropriate, and more in compliance with Wikipedia's editorial tone, to say that she is "...the best-selling teenage artist to date."
Rolling Stone magazine has perpetrated numerous "Greatest [fill in the blank] of All Time" lists in recent years -- presumeably for the purpose of generating publicity. These lists certainly do not cover "all time." Who knows what the future holds? Consider, for example, that if Rolling Stone had made a list of the "Greatest Guitarists of All Time" in 1980 it would almost certainly have not included Stevie Ray Vaughan, that if Rolling Stone had made a list of the "Greatest Guitarists of All Time" in 1970 it would not have included Eddie Van Halen, that a list of the "Greatest Guitarists of All Time" made in 1960 would not include Jimi Hendrix or Eric Clapton, that a list of the "Greatest Guitarists of All Time" made in 1950 would not include Chuck Berry, and so on back in time.
An inherent problem with all "Greatest Guitarists of All Time" lists is that to compile a true list of "Greatest Guitarists of All Time" list it would necessary to hear every guitarist who ever played the instrument -- from the inventor of the instrument hundreds of years aga and forward to the last person to play the instrument before time/the universe ends -- and also be familiar with every style and technique ever used to play the instrument, and then be able to objectively judge the every guitarist's skill within their chosen genre of guitar technique.
Consider B.B. King, Andrés Segovia, Django Reinhardt, Jimi Hendrix, and Led Kaapana, to name five guitarists recognized as masters of their individual genres. Judged by their command of the genre they play, rather than by their record sales or concert gross receipts, how can it be said that one is "greater" than the others?
Rolling Stone "Greatest [fill in the blank] of All Time" lists are more accurately described as pretentious compilation lists of the favorite [fill in the blank] of the people who have been invited to contribute to the list -- and, by default, compiled only from the cohort of [fill in the blank] that they are familiar with.
Who's to say that there isn't someone out there they don't know about who plays some genre of guitar music with greater skill than any of the guitarists they know of and like?
Getting back to Britney, record sales are not a matter of personal opinion, but until "time" ends it is more appropriate, and more in compliance with Wikipedia's editorial tone, to say that she is "...the best-selling teenage artist to date. 2603:800C:3A40:6400:D173:C631:ECB8:95 ( talk) 20:56, 16 December 2023 (UTC)

From the article:
What in the world was that verbiage supposed to mean?
This involves the problem of the Vague Antecedent. “A pronoun should not have two possible antecedents in the same sentence.” See generally Madeline Semmelmeyer & Donald O. Bolander, The New Webster’s Grammar Guide, pp. 59-60 (Berkley Books, 1987).
The pronoun “Her” appears to refer to Britney Spears. That seems OK.
However, the verbiage indicates that Emma Jean Spears committed suicide on either the grave of Emma’s father’s infant brother, or on the grave of Britney’s father’s infant brother. The proper antecedent for the pronoun “her” is unclear.
The sentence goes on to say that this event occurred when “he” (presumably referring to either Emma’s father’s infant brother or Britney’s father’s infant brother) was “age 13.” If the person in question had a grave, that person presumably was dead and buried. We do not normally refer to a dead person as being “age 13” (or any other age) after the person is dead. Again, the proper antecedent for the pronoun “he” is unclear.
Perhaps the pronoun “he” was intended to refer to the father -- not to the father’s dead infant brother. If so, perhaps the article should read:
I’m not going to subscribe to the New York Times just to try to sort out what the heck the article is trying to say here.

Spears dated Justin Timberlake from 1998-2002, after meeting on The Mickey Mouse Club. [1] [2] They made headlines after wearing matching denim outfits on the red carpet to the 2001 AMA. [3]
In Jan. 2004, Spears married her childhood friend, Jason Alexander, in Vegas. The marriage was annulled 55 hours later. [4]
Spears married Kevin Federline on October 6th 2004, after a three month courtship. Federline and Spears have two sons together, Sean Preston (born September 14, 2005) and Jayden James (born September 12, 2006). In 2005, the former couple starred in the reality television series Britney & Kevin: Chaotic. [5] In Nov. 2006, Spears filed for divorce and was finalized July 2007. On July 26, 2008, Federline was granted sole legal and physical custody of the children with Spears having visitation rights, that has since been changed to 70-30. [6] Federline receives an estimated $35,000 per month in child support. [7]
In December 2011, Spears became engaged to her former agent and boyfriend of a year and half, Jason Trawick. In January 2013, Spears and Trawick broke-up. [8]
Spears has been dating Sam Asghari since 2016, after meeting him on the set of of her music video " Slumber Party." [9] — Preceding unsigned comment added by IMme4u09 ( talk • contribs) 19:22, 21 September 2019 (UTC)

No. I'm hoping a situation like that on Beyoncé's article (a very lengthy, months-long, heated debate) will be avoided. Britney Spears was described as a songwriter in the lead and infobox of this article for years, and there is no justification to remove that profession from both the lede and the infobox without any discussion nor consensus. 1. Britney Spears has over 70 songwriting credits [1] including one sole songwriting credit for the song 'Someday, I Will Understand' and Billboard-charting hits such as 'Everytime', 'Me Against the Music', 'Make Me...' and 'Work Bitch'. 2. Britney Spears has written songs for herself and other artists such as Selena Gomez and BoA. 3. Britney Spears was defined as a songwriter by major publications such as Rolling Stone [2], MTV [3], Digital Spy [4] and Billboard [5] 4. Britney's songwriting contribution may not be as extensive as some of her contemporaries, but what I've just listed shows sufficient notability for inclusion of "songwriter" in both the lede and infobox. If Spears had only co-written several songs like Céline Dion, it would be different, but that's not certainly not the case here.

So, I have seen two claims on the wiki page, that continously get edited on and off. Both claims use Billboard as a source, but the one claiming 150 million ( see here, also used by Forbes as the other editor put in) is actually talking about a number, while the other source ( see here) does not even state the 100 million.

Britney Jean Spears is an American singer,songwrter,and actress
@ 174.115.12.230, Dionysos1993, and Theknine2: Because of the perception some have of her, regardless of the facts. I’ve just corrected this. Per my edit summary: "This was discussed before, and there is too much yo-yoing in this regard. Spears has 75 songwriting credits, incl. 7 songs on her most recent studio album, 'Glory', and she has one sole songwriting credit for the single ‘Someday (I Will Understand)’. For comparison, Billie Eilish has 86 songwriting credits (all co-written), only 11 more songs, and she’s considered a songwriter. Ava Max has about 40 credits and is considered a songwriter. Besides, the article mentions Spears’ development as such."
Not only this was removed from the lead, this was removed from the infobox without any prior discussion. As evidenced by an endless discussion pertaining to Beyoncé’s article ( [6], [7] [8]), way too much time is spent and wasted on Wikipedia debating such matter when that time could be spent adding content to Wikipedia. If the article mentions the artist’s songwriting process and development, and the artist does indeed have songwriting as part of their regular craft, even if they only write a third of their material, then they are indeed a songwriter and it's notable enough. If, on the other hand, they barely have two or five songwriting credits or so like Whitney Houston or Céline Dion, then it may be preferable to omit that title altogether from both the lead and infobox.
And finally, for those who would bring up playing an instrument, Britney plays the piano, but that is not a prerequisite to be a songwriter. For example, it is possible to create melodies and sing them to an instrumentalist who then plays and arranges music from those melodies. One can sing a melody into a microphone, and then convert one’s voice into MIDI notes and compose music that way. One’s voice is an instrument. And goes without saying, one can author lyrics without playing any instrument at all, and a lyricist is a songwriter—so is a topline writer who authors lyrics and creates vocal melodies after the instrumental was composed.

@ OnMyRadar, Calebh12, and Carlos BCN: This was discussed before, and there is too much yo-yoing in this regard. Spears has 75 songwriting credits (mostly album tracks), incl. 7 songs on her most recent studio album 'Glory', hits such as 'Me Against the Music', 'Everytime', 'Work Bitch', 'Perfume' and 'Make Me...', the French single 'Anticipating', and she has one sole songwriting credit for the single ‘Someday (I Will Understand)’. For comparison, Billie Eilish has 86 songwriting credits (all co-written), only 11 more songs, and she’s considered a songwriter. Ava Max has about 40 credits and is considered a songwriter.

Query under the "1998–2000: ...Baby One More Time and Oops!... I Did It Again" section where it says:
"Oops!... I Did It Again, Spears's second studio album, was released in May 2000. It debuted at number one in the US, selling 1.3 million copies, breaking the Nielsen SoundScan record for the highest debut sales by any solo artist."
I don't understand how her second album could break the Nielsen Soundscan record for the highest DEBUT sales by any solo artist. If it's her second album than it's not her debut album or her debut sales. Is there some way to clarify this because to me it reads as conflicting information.

Change the biography picture to a more recent picture of Britney Spears, such as a picture from her 2016 'Glory' photoshoot or something from a recent appearance as this picture is outdated and does not accurately reflect Britney Spears. Karinethefiaqueen ( talk) 23:11, 22 April 2023 (UTC)

Would this image be suitable as an infobox picture? It's a more recent photo, it's of high resolution, and her face is not obstructed. Using photos of similar artists like
Taylor Swift,
Doja Cat (though she could definitely use a better photo)(found a significantly better photo, wasn't hard to find) and
Charli XCX as reference for onstage infobox photos. Open to opinions.

For an article on a celebrity this large, why is there no 'personal life' section? Is it the policy of wikepedia to only allow puff pieces created by fans, or isn't the purpose of an encyclopedia to provide balanced detailed information, concisely, and correctly? 47.150.246.207 ( talk) 20:56, 16 May 2023 (UTC)

The profile photo of Britney is 10 years old. I'd recommend updating it to the more recent one from her Octber 2023 People Magazine photoshoot:

Please change "Spears has sold about 150 million records worldwide, including over 70 million in the United States" to "Spears has sold over 100 million records in the United States alone, while selling about 150 million albums and 160 million singles worldwide".

With no disrespect to Britney Spears intended, "time" hasn't ended, and until it does it would be more appropriate, and more in compliance with Wikipedia's editorial tone, to say that she is "...the best-selling teenage artist to date."
Rolling Stone magazine has perpetrated numerous "Greatest [fill in the blank] of All Time" lists in recent years -- presumeably for the purpose of generating publicity. These lists certainly do not cover "all time." Who knows what the future holds? Consider, for example, that if Rolling Stone had made a list of the "Greatest Guitarists of All Time" in 1980 it would almost certainly have not included Stevie Ray Vaughan, that if Rolling Stone had made a list of the "Greatest Guitarists of All Time" in 1970 it would not have included Eddie Van Halen, that a list of the "Greatest Guitarists of All Time" made in 1960 would not include Jimi Hendrix or Eric Clapton, that a list of the "Greatest Guitarists of All Time" made in 1950 would not include Chuck Berry, and so on back in time.
An inherent problem with all "Greatest Guitarists of All Time" lists is that to compile a true list of "Greatest Guitarists of All Time" list it would necessary to hear every guitarist who ever played the instrument -- from the inventor of the instrument hundreds of years aga and forward to the last person to play the instrument before time/the universe ends -- and also be familiar with every style and technique ever used to play the instrument, and then be able to objectively judge the every guitarist's skill within their chosen genre of guitar technique.
Consider B.B. King, Andrés Segovia, Django Reinhardt, Jimi Hendrix, and Led Kaapana, to name five guitarists recognized as masters of their individual genres. Judged by their command of the genre they play, rather than by their record sales or concert gross receipts, how can it be said that one is "greater" than the others?
Rolling Stone "Greatest [fill in the blank] of All Time" lists are more accurately described as pretentious compilation lists of the favorite [fill in the blank] of the people who have been invited to contribute to the list -- and, by default, compiled only from the cohort of [fill in the blank] that they are familiar with.
Who's to say that there isn't someone out there they don't know about who plays some genre of guitar music with greater skill than any of the guitarists they know of and like?
Getting back to Britney, record sales are not a matter of personal opinion, but until "time" ends it is more appropriate, and more in compliance with Wikipedia's editorial tone, to say that she is "...the best-selling teenage artist to date. 2603:800C:3A40:6400:D173:C631:ECB8:95 ( talk) 20:56, 16 December 2023 (UTC)
I added this at some point, but it was removed:
In 2003, Spears worked with the electronic musician
James Murphy of
LCD Soundsystem, but the collaboration was unsuccessful. A track from their collaboration was leaked online in 2006.
