To add to article[edit]

Basic information to add to this article (which isn't explained in the current version of this article): why her last name is Knowles-Carter. (It's because her husband's real name is Shawn Corey Carter.) 98.123.38.211 (talk) 15:45, 30 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Can someone please create a Wikipedia page for Beyoncé's charity foundation "BeyGood"?[edit]

It is possible for a seasoned auditor to draft a distinct article for the non-profit charity foundation established by Beyoncé known as "BeyGood". I believe that this charitable organization meets the criteria to warrant its own entry on Wikipedia, similar to the Born This Way Foundation founded by Lady Gaga and the Ray of Light Foundation founded by Madonna, for instance.

This is an interesting possibility. For the time being, I have redirected the title to Beyoncé#Philanthropy, which discusses this. I would suggest expanding the content in that section first. BD2412 T 17:45, 31 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The article requires further elaboration as it lacks coverage on several important topics and becomes irrelevant when merged into an individual’s article with outdated information and a lack of updates. Nevertheless, I am willing to enhance the content if a proficient editor is willing to create a separate article focusing on the charity non-profit organization [[BeyGood]] in the future.

That is often the best way to develop content that can easily be broken out into a separate article. BD2412 T 02:26, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Years Active[edit]

Can y'all please decide once and for all what is considered active? Every time I come here the box says a different year. Furthermore, every time Bey's years change, it throws off the years for the other members pages as well, particularly the girls who she grew up performing in the group with. When Bey's years active box said 1995, their pages were edited to match because they all got signed to the same record deal in 95. I need to know if 1990 is the final decision so I can know how to edit theirs as well, since only Bey and LaTavia started off in the group that year. 107.116.183.25 (talk) 17:29, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Cowboy Carter[edit]

The following bit of the lede needs amending/adding to/rejigging:

"Beyoncé achieved critical acclaim for the experimental visual albums Beyoncé (2013) and Lemonade (2016), which explored themes such as feminism and womanism. With her Black queer-inspired dance album Renaissance (2022), she became the first female artist to have their first seven studio albums debut at number one on Billboard 200."

I think we now need to somehow incorporate Cowboy Carter, how it's broken certain records and how she's the only female solo artist to debut at number 1 with all her studio albums.

Hi, not sure why my recent edit has been completely reverted. I intended to revert an unconstructive edit. Well, I admit that I'm not familiar with Beyoncé, nor have I conducted "thorough research". Thedarkknightli (talk) 18:02, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
