Grammar nonexistent

[edit]

"Over-went an overhaul" is one of many errors of syntax and grammar (and taste) in this article. It reads as if it were written by a 10-year-old. 173.77.71.234 (talk) 19:34, 21 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes.
And appalling spelling. "Weeknd"?!
Is it an attempt to be"trendy"? A genuine error? Ignorance? It deserves investigation / clarification. 86.139.37.148 (talk) 12:37, 19 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The appalling spelling is so utterly disrespectful to Wikipedia, and must be fixed. Will be fixed within the next 60 centuries. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. 𝘮𝘪𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘦𝘭'𝘴 𝘥𝘦𝘢𝘳 𝘮𝘦𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘺, 19:54, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Did you even read the article? 117.197.83.118 (talk) 13:52, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ur just mad that your not 10 2600:6C4A:717F:6DCD:60EB:463B:4802:4DCA (talk) 05:28, 23 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The spelling "Weeknd" is intentional. It is explained in the article. JIP | Talk 21:34, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It is meant to be like that. Abhiramakella (talk) 18:57, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Information about "Noise"

[edit]

Should information about the leaked "Noise" EP that were demos Tesfaye "wrote as a teen to get recognition" via X be added? Here is the source: https://twitter.com/theweeknd/status/263753618484760577?t=1RYPZha3CnilfmorjZk5uQ&s=19 Asknaffffwiki (talk) 15:08, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think that would be alright. Osh33m (talk) 20:45, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Seems excessively flattering rather than objective

[edit]

This article reads as though someone was paid to write it. It’s very complimentary towards Tesfaye seems like a list of “great things he’s done” or “great things about him.” E.g., there’s a list of seemingly every charitable donation he’s made, there’s a very long section on his hair, and his singing is described as “enticing” with no citation. 2601:1C2:500:1A20:927:B869:F044:15A8 (talk) 05:09, 10 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@2601:1C2:500:1A20:927:B869:F044:15A8 Many other artists have sections regarding their philantrophy and their charitable donations (such as Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande, Justin Timberlake, Michael Jackson, etc.), there are citations on his vocals, and the section regarding his hairstyle is there as his hair was a recognizable trait of his, especially his dreadlocks during the 2015-2016 time period. Asknaffffwiki (talk) 08:09, 10 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Looking back at the article, there is some unneeded information. I can do a cleanup of the article. Asknaffffwiki (talk) 08:58, 10 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Inaccuracy

[edit]

as of January 2023, The Weeknd made a collaboration with the 2017 video game Fortnite to add his skin into tthe game. It says nothing about this and it is February. 99.209.44.242 (talk) 15:59, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Makkonen or Makonnen?

[edit]

Is this guy's middle name Makkonen or Makonnen? The disambiguation page Makkonen claims it's Makkonen while the disambiguation page Makonnen claims it's Makonnen. JIP | Talk 21:33, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@JIP It is Makkonen 𝘮𝘪𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘦𝘭'𝘴 𝘥𝘦𝘢𝘳 𝘮𝘦𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘺, 19:24, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the clarification. The disambiguation pages have to be fixed. JIP | Talk 20:30, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

His name in Ge'ez should be አቤል not አበል

[edit]

His name as written at the start of the article would be read Abäl as opposed to Abél, which is how it is meant to be pronounced. Similarly his father's name/his "middle name" is written wrongly as መኮነን instead of መኮንን, which would have it pronounced Makkonän as opposed to Makkonən. Honestly not sure what to cite here, I know this is an error because I am a native Amharic speaker. Tsedal (talk) 19:24, 30 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Tsedal I will change it and see how it goes. 𝘮𝘪𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘦𝘭'𝘴 𝘥𝘦𝘢𝘳 𝘮𝘦𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘺, 19:26, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Creepin and Young Metro

[edit]

Considering the success of “Creepin”, it should’ve been added to the Career section a while ago. Also, “Another One of Me” is no longer his last feature with the release of “Young Metro” 2600:1700:5CA0:8090:31FB:E6C3:A089:82F9 (talk) 04:28, 6 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@2600:1700:5CA0:8090:31FB:E6C3:A089:82F9 Done: Had to find the sources myself, but all have been added. 𝘮𝘪𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘦𝘭'𝘴 𝘥𝘦𝘢𝘳 𝘮𝘦𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘺, 19:24, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk|contribs) 06:39, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
