If it isn't backed up by a reliable source, it shouldn't be in the article. That includes the album title, release date, singles, and track list. — C.Fred ( talk) 14:38, 20 July 2013 (UTC)
Ariana has confirmed on her twitter page that none of the track list that are on the internet are real, she revealing the track list song by song. This makes all sources for "Direct Contact (Feat. Demi Lovato)", and "Supervised (Feat. Justin Bieber)" fake. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Arianator2013 ( talk • contribs) 16:31, 6 August 2013 (UTC)
Khris Riddick Tynes should be added as a writer on the track "Lovin it" — Preceding unsigned comment added by Epep123 ( talk • contribs) 02:08, 7 August 2013 (UTC)
Why isn't it listed as a single? I know its not really her song but MIKA's but look at will.I.Am's Check It Out (song) it was listed as a single for Nicki Minaj's album Pink Friday.
Plus, "Check It Out" was never a single from Pink Friday IPadPerson ( talk) 12:45, 3 May 2014 (UTC)
The opinions of the "Daily Revile" hardly seem worthy of inclusion. In fact, the very fact that the critic mentions The Emancipation of Mimi as being Mariah Carey's glory days seems to indicate the quality of the criticism to be obtained from that publication. On closer investigation it appears the critic was actually born in 1992, and so likely missed the glory days while being a toddler. Regardless, I sense some shameless self promotion at work here. Should be deleted, though I shall leave that to a more seasoned article editor... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.155.86.51 ( talk) 23:57, 16 January 2014 (UTC)

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Yours Truly (Ariana Grande album)'s orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 17:35, 19 June 2017 (UTC)

The documentation for the album infobox requires that the genre listed should "be stated and referenced in the body of the article." The pop genre, as of the time I reverted its addition, was sourced but was not clearly stated in the article body; specifically, it did not match with the genres listed in the article's composition section. If you are going to add the genre to the infobox, please add the corresponding information to the article body's composition section; the burden on doing so rests with the editor adding the information. Otherwise, the editor shouldn't be surprised if their changes are removed for not meeting the requirements noted in the template documentation. Aoi (青い) ( talk) 20:20, 5 November 2018 (UTC)

There appears to be some back-and-forth about whether to include doo-wop as one of the main genres of the album. I see sources saying there are doo-wop influences but not directly that the music is doo-wop. What are other editors seeing, either for or against adding this genre? — C.Fred ( talk) 16:19, 20 August 2022 (UTC)
The release date provided by iTunes (August 30) seems to conflict with the secondary independent sources I found:
Her debut album, “Yours Truly,” arrived on September 3 and went straight to the top of the Billboard 200 chart.
Release Date: Sept. 3
Release Date: Sept. 3
Fortunately, “Yours Truly” now has a set-in-stone release date — September 3 — as well as official album artwork, which Grande shared with her 7.9 million Twitter followers on Wednesday (July 31).
Also, I took a look at the Web Archive's snapshot Ariana Grande's website. The only snapshot from August 2013 includes text that indicates her album would be "in stores 9.3.13." A snapshot of her music store indicates that digital orders of her album would be "available on September 3, 2013". Finally, a snapshot of Grande's twitter account from September 3, 2013 [https://web.archive.org/web/20130903214337/twitter.com/arianagrande includes a number of tweets that indicate that her album dropped on that date.
In short, I think even disregarding the archived links, the press coverage from around the time of her release seems to indicate that iTunes has the date wrong. I do think that this recent edit putting in a corrected date has some formatting problems, so I'll be fixing the edit and replacing the source from the news blog with the CNN article and one of the Billboard articles.
