Sources disagree with each other on ranking
editI checked all the links used as sources for the rankings and save for instagram and ronaldo being at the top, the rankings vary between sources. For example, some of the sources say Lionel Messi is #3 while other says Ariana Grande claims the spot. Googling other sites for rankings sometimes puts Kylie Jenner at #3 and sometimes The Rock. Which one of these should be considered reliable? Is there a way to scrape the data from instagram directly and use that as a source? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Credulous Skeptic (talk • contribs) 00:33, 27 December 2021 (UTC)
- if it is checked now then the Instagram official account is the most followed 36.226.111.124 (talk) 09:10, 30 July 2024 (UTC)

Dwayne Johnson
editIf the most followed actress and the most followed rapper (a type of a music artist) are given images, it's only logic to put Dwayne there too—the most followed actor on Instagram. @B.Davis2003: You should reason it out here instead of edit warring and blatantly holding grudge. Gomez didn't get an image previously because she was the #2 musician on Instagram formerly and the "actress" part was added to caption after her account became #1 replacing Ariana Grande. Now that Gomez is illustrated as the most followed actress with an image, it is only fair and unbiased to include the most followed actor too. ℛonherry☘ 16:57, 16 February 2022 (UTC)

I don't see the reason for a picture for "the most followed rapper". Such music specifications then should also allow most followed r&b musician, most followed country musician, pop, reggaetón.. 132.251.1.217 (talk) 07:10, 28 February 2022 (UTC)

I see that people like Ariana Grande are labeled as a musician and business women. I think it would be fair to not only apply this to women but also to men. For instance, Cristiana Ronaldo is not just a football player but also a business man. Please create valid labels and descriptions for all people in the list. 2A02:A444:807C:1:E4F8:68ED:3045:7E10 (talk) 20:13, 24 November 2022 (UTC)

Need to standardize countries
editIs the country where the individual has citizenship, where the individual was born, or where the account is based, which can be accessed by Instagram? Many citizenships are not public, but using where the account is based can have odd consequences like saying Messi is based in the United States. Bvonsimson (talk) 00:59, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
- Is including the country really important in the context of this article? I'm looking at MOS:FLAG for guidance and I don't see the value in emphasizing nationality/citizenship/etc in this table. Especially because, like you mentioned, sometimes is not clear. - Ïvana (talk) 01:31, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
- I agree, and I don’t see a point in highlighting country of origin, especially without a clear framework for choosing the country. Bvonsimson (talk) 23:53, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

Gallery
editGOLDIEM J, could you please provide a reason for your latest revert beyond vaguely mentioning good faith? Per WP:GALLERY, a gallery or cluster of images should not be added so long as there is space for images to be effectively presented adjacent to text
. There's plenty of space to accomodate the pictures next to the table. Also per MOS:CAPSUCCINCT captions should be concise. There's no reason to needlesly repeat the number of followers in the captions when that information is easily available in the table. Duplicated data creates the need for constant updates and unnecessarily bloats the edit history. - Ïvana (talk) 22:25, 16 August 2024 (UTC)
- Well I thought the whole article literally is that list, so I thought it was more appropriate to put the gallery in the main section. GOLDIEM J (talk) 22:27, 16 August 2024 (UTC)
- @GOLDIEM J: Thank you for your input. However, I still believe that adding a gallery in the main section isn't ideal for a few reasons. Placing images directly adjacent to the text allows readers to correlate the visual content with specific data more effectively, maintaining a cohesive flow. The current layout includes space for images to be placed next to the table where they are more contextually relevant. WP:GALLERY suggests avoiding galleries when there is sufficient space for images to be integrated with the text, which applies here as the article has ample room. A gallery in this case could disrupt the article's organization and readability. Additionally, duplicating information in captions and the table, such as follower counts, introduces unnecessary redundancy. This not only clutters the article but also increases maintenance work, as updates need to be made in multiple places. I would also add that just because an article is short or consists mainly of a table does not justify inflating its size with redundant data or unnecessary sections. - Ïvana (talk) 00:30, 17 August 2024 (UTC)
