Please add this on the section of critical reception: Idolator listed witness at number 8 on their list of the best pop albums of 2017 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 186.14.219.173 ( talk) 16:17, 3 February 2018 (UTC)

Hello? Witness is platinum in Brazil already, why it is not reflected???? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 200.82.129.72 ( talk) 17:34, 21 February 2018 (UTC)
I cannot edit the article to do it myself since, while I have been on Wikipedia for more than 30 days, I don't have 500 edits yet, but I think the section Composition needs some expansion. Album articles tend to describe all songs or at least most of them, but this one stops at track 6 ("Power") for some reason, even though Witness contains 15 songs (or even 17 on some editions). Bizarre Bizarre Talk modern to me 16:11, 12 May 2018 (UTC)
Why is the album called her best album here?! Wikipedia is supposed to be objective, so that is absolutely inacceptable. NayruLink ( talk) 14:35, 18 June 2018 (UTC)
Daydreaming, excuse me?! I was serious and you're bitching around here, thank you very much, you were a great help! Not. Gladly it was changed now, I had no idea how to change it. NayruLink ( talk) 16:10, 19 June 2018 (UTC)
I did not write "In this article", I wrote "here" not knowing how to call the description. NayruLink ( talk) 16:43, 12 July 2018 (UTC)
I'm sure this is a contentious topic, but I think it should be mentioned that the album has been less commercially successful than either Perry or her label anticipated. The album has had poor longevity on WW charts, is her first album to not produce a #1 let alone a Top 3 in the US, and hasn't reached 1M sales WW yet.
She talks about it here: http://popcrush.com/katy-perry-depression-details-quotes/
The head of her record label, Capitol, also talked about it here: https://variety.com/2018/music/news/steve-barnett-capitol-interview-katy-perry-niall-horan-1202660297/
I get that with Stan culture this could be a contentious addition, but I think it's worth evaluating. User:Heartgears ( talk) 15:38, 17 July 2018 (EST)
Apologies for interrupting the conversation; I think that a breif sentence on Perry's depression as related to the album would be beneficial either here or on her primary Wikipedia page as it is covered by several news outlets. Aoba47 ( talk) 01:45, 20 July 2018 (UTC)

The description that shows up when searching for the album's name has once again been manipulated. It now says "album by Katia Pérez". This is the second time now that it was changed to something wrong, which is completely unacceptable. I don't have enough skills to edit it, so could please someone correct it? Also how can this be prevented? NayruLink ( talk) 17:50, 22 December 2018 (UTC)
Witness has since sold 700, 000 copies in the US and should be changed to platinum with the updated sales also China should be added as she was certified 5x platinum there with her album selling 500,000 copied LaVozSA ( talk) 10:36, 15 April 2019 (UTC)
Her record label Capitol has confirmed witness sold over 3 million copies world wide (now 800,000) this needs to be changed also it sold over a million copies in the us KatSwiPerr ( talk) 14:42, 2 June 2019 (UTC)

I was reading the talk page on Smile and it was asked if the vinyl cover of the album should be included in the article. It was brought up that Lana Del Rey's Ultraviolence, Honeymoon and Norman Fucking Rockwell! albums include their respective Urban Outfitters-exclusive covers in their articles. There is an Urban Outfitters-exclusive cover for Witness, and thought it should be included in this article as well. Playking616 ( talk) 00:45, 10 August 2020 (UTC)

Hey Hey Hey and Save As Draft are not official singles
Apparently a recent review came in and now the current score for the album is 53. Froyo Fox126 ( talk) 16:56, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
Why have the certifications of China, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador and Central America been included when it has been published by a page whose the source is a random tweet without any credibility?

Apparently, under producers section in the album infobox, I can see there are lot of additional, vocals and co- producers. As per the wiki rules, these producers shouldn't be added into this list except main producers. YOÜ AND I baby ( talk) 14:27, 1 September 2021 (UTC)

David Rudnick is credited on Wikipedia as having been responsible for the art direction on this album, but he's just tweeted that the person who actually art directed it is Isamaya Ffrench:
https://twitter.com/David_Rudnick/status/1654822122148036609
Can this please be corrected? Smells like content ( talk) 12:40, 6 May 2023 (UTC)
Just checked the album liner notes. While they list Rudnick's name for "front and back cover art direction", I found no mention of Ffrench there, so I'm not sure how to best implement that. SNUGGUMS ( talk / edits) 15:58, 6 May 2023 (UTC)
