At over 16k words of readable prose, this article is too long to read comfortably. It would be beneficial to condense and/or migrate content to subarticles to make this one more readable. Nikkimaria (talk) 19:31, 28 June 2023 (UTC)
I would also like to mention the sheer amount of references on this article. You know you’ve gone a bit overboard if an article about a person has the same amount of citations as the United States (609). Eticangaaa (talk) 18:07, 15 December 2023 (UTC)
Lowercase or uppercase?
A few days ago I had written the titles of all the paragraphs with a lowercase initial, a little while ago someone entered capital letters but did not respect the consistency. Obviously I will not intervene, but since the paragraph "Music career" is uppercase, while the paragraph "Film career" is lowercase, I would like us to agree on which one to insert for the whole article, whether lower or uppercase. JackkBrown (talk) 17:24, 8 December 2023 (UTC)
@JackkBrown, there was a recent RfC on the question of capitalization after a colon in a section heading. It found consensus for the use of either lowercase or uppercase; generally, an article should use one or the other consistently. After your edit, @Dima110: changed one heading to capital letters, and @Carlinal: changed several others. Perhaps they can explain the basis for their change and why they didn't make all of the headings consistent. Schazjmd(talk)17:36, 8 December 2023 (UTC)
*Eating Christmas candy while on the phone listening to someone's body of work* Hm?
Oh, you mean this. Well, I hoped I was consistent there, even if Consistency isn't my middle name. I focused only on the headings but not the sub-headings, which I now noticed and should've done. I also capitalized "Reprise years" because, uh, it was clearly referring to his music label? My apologies. I aimed to do what was standard, overall. Carlinal (talk) 19:41, 8 December 2023 (UTC)
