This article is about one of the greatest and most influential pop stars of all time—Beyoncé. I plan to take this article to WP:FAC so any and all comments are extremely appreciated, given this is the longest article i've ever written, at 9.5k words. Much thanks to Medxvo, SNUGGUMS and Z1720 for their comments on the article, edits, and help with reducing the article's size. Best, 750 h+ 15:28, 14 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Just want to acknowledge that when 750h+ started working on this article, it was over 14,000 words long and nominated for GAR. 750+ has done a lot of work fixing up this article than their above statement might be hinting at, and I'm excited for this to reach FAC if it is ready.

Will review this as promised. Vacant0 (talk • contribs) 15:33, 14 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The article is pretty long, so I'll try to review it entirely before I leave the country.

I'll start from the references:
- There's incosistency in how references titles are written, some use title case while some use sentence case. If you want to change them to title case, I'd suggest using the User:ZKang123/TitleCaseConverter.js script, otherwise you'd have to do it manually if you want to use sentence case.
- There's also incosistency between the linking of websites in references. Some, like Vulture and HuffPost, aren't wikilinked.
- I'm unsure about the reliability of Evening Standard and Kreol International Magazine and whether they can be considered high-quality sources.
- Lester (2024) has missing ISSN/JSTOR.
Lede:
- Suggest wikilinking R&B.
- The lede reads surprisingly well to me. I do not have any concerns regarding this part of the article.
Early life also looks good to me. Did not spot any issues.

Posting this here instead of the talk page: The first paragraph of "Voice and musical style" falls into the "X says Y" pattern. While I will try to do a WP:LIBRARY search for more sources which might help expand this section, should this paragraph be reworded more like WP:RECEPTION suggests, with each sentence having categories of information (and multiple citations supporting it) instead of "reporter says Y about her voice"?

Songwriting section: The first paragraph mentions awards she has won for songwriting. Would this be more appropriate in the "Life and career" or "Achievements" sections, or is it fine to stay here? Z1720 (talk) 01:44, 15 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Achievements section: Many of the achievements listed here are also mentioned in the "Life and career" section, such as the Academy Award and Grammy awards. Should this information be consolidated in one section or another? Z1720 (talk) 16:29, 15 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

wait i’ll give a response to these tommorow it’s late where I am. 750 h+ 17:22, 15 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

ok so i'll remove the repeated awards in the life and career section, i've expanded the Voice and musical section and i can reword it, and i'll move the awards in Songwriting to the section it belongs in. 750 h+ 09:51, 16 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
