Controversies line in final paragraph of opening section

Latest comment: 19 days ago3 comments3 people in discussion

@Thedarkknightli
I adequately explained why I removed what I removed, and you can look at my edit history. The language is biased and has been added on purpose to sway the reader in a certain way and sway their opinion on the artist. In case you did not know, this is against Wiki guidelines: Wikipedia:Neutral point of view
"All encyclopedic content on Wikipedia must be written from a neutral point of view (NPOV), which means representing fairly, proportionately, and, as far as possible, without editorial bias, all the significant views that have been published by reliable sources on a topic."
You can keep reverting my edits all you want, I will revert them back to match the above standards and I have absolutely no problems raising this issue to get this resolved. Instead of UNDO-ing my changes, lets discuss here openly, lets talk, tell me why you keep adding it back...

It looks neutral to me. What's your specific issue with this line? — Manticore 09:23, 6 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

I see it as completely neutral. In no way, does it mean to harm or defame Minaj's image or any of the sub-subjects of the article.

It just is what it is. Minaj has indeed received significant media coverage, opinions, and controversy for her personal life, marriage, her feuds with other rappers, and her outspoken views regarding certain topics.

And it is all sourced in the succeeding sections of the article, as you scroll below the lead. There is no bias or positive/negative point of view enforced, or attempted to be enforced, in the last paragraph. It just is facts and sourced incidents that actually happened.

Semi-protected edit request on 20 June 2024

Latest comment: 5 days ago1 comment1 person in discussion

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Nicki Minaj. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

‹ The template Edit semi-protected is being considered for merging. ›
