Lead image change
The Wango Tango image is dated. Benmite (talk) 01:08, 2 November 2016 (UTC)
- Just because an image is dated does not mean it should be changed; the image you've tried to put into the lead infobox has been reverted several times. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the image in the infobox currently. livelikemusic talk! 01:12, 2 November 2016 (UTC)
- I understand that there is "nothing wrong" with the Wango Tango image; however, all that MOS:LEADIMAGE states is that "Lead images should be images that are natural and appropriate visual representations of the topic." How does the image that I changed to not fit said criteria? I did not change it to a picture which was NOT Britney Spears, nor did I add a more offensive image (unless you consider the slight appearance of bodily sweat offensive, in which case I apologize for subjecting you to such horrid imagery.) I merely changed it so that it could be a more recent and therefore more relevant article. I fail to see how changing a picture twice is "disruptive". Benmite (talk) 01:19, 2 November 2016 (UTC)
- As stated in a previous edit-summary, that image was added multiple times since its upload onto Wiki-Commons, and was reverted multiple times. And per WP:BRD, you were reverted and now discussion must take place for a potential image-change. livelikemusic talk! 01:37, 2 November 2016 (UTC)
- @livelikemusic Discussion with who? The Coalition of Britney Spears Lead Image Leaders? Sorry, bud. I'm not really understanding what you're saying. Benmite (talk) 01:44, 2 November 2016 (UTC)
- A discussion of editors, and your attitude does not give way to assuming good faith. I recommend reading WP:CONSENSUS; you've opened a discussion, and now you have to wait for other editors to become involved with the conversation, to reach consensus on image-change, due to it now being a content dispute. livelikemusic talk! 01:46, 2 November 2016 (UTC)
- When was consensus reached with the last image? Benmite (talk) 01:48, 2 November 2016 (UTC)
- Again, you are not listening; this has become a content dispute, and a talk page discussion has been opened, which means we must wait for a consensus on the subject. That's how Wikipedia words: consensus. livelikemusic talk! 01:50, 2 November 2016 (UTC)
- I understand that, but I'm still confused as to why you removed the image I put. If you could explain the dispute, that would make a lot more sense to me. Benmite (talk) 01:52, 2 November 2016 (UTC)
- I already have, multiple times. livelikemusic talk! 01:53, 2 November 2016 (UTC)
- All you said was "the other image is fine". I'm not saying it isn't. But I don't see why the other image is so much worse, unless you don't like the aesthetic it gives the page or something. I simply added the image because I believed it would help in making the article more relevant to the present. I never said I removed it because the other image was ugly. The fact that the other image is fine does not mean that the new one is not; ergo, you have only explained why the old one was there in the first place, as opposed to making an argument for why it shouldn't be changed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Benmite (talk • contribs) 01:58, 2 November 2016 (UTC)
- You must not be reading everything I have written, because I stated here (in my edit summary) and here (my post on the talk page), I've explained. Especially since the lead image has long been a conflict of edit-wars, it's about time a talk page consensus comes about. livelikemusic talk! 02:02, 2 November 2016 (UTC)
- Although I'd be surprised if it did actually get changed for good this time, I support the change to a new image as there are now plenty of suitable photos from this year that are available for use. Traveltoromantis (talk) 04:45, 4 November 2016 (UTC)

Political views
If I remember correctly, in the movie Fahrenheit 9/11 (2004), Britney Spears (and Ricky Martin) made some political comments, supporting Bush and the invasion of Iraq ("I think we should just trust our president in every decision that he makes and we should just support that"). Now, in 2016, she almost endorsed Hillary Clinton. I am at a loss as to her views. In Britney & Kevin Chaotic (2004), she seems ultraliberal.Marcin862 (talk) 08:16, 24 November 2016 (UTC)
- @Marcin862: If you are making a suggestion for improvement of the article, please be more specific. Otherwise, please stop using talk pages to chat about general issues. Sundayclose (talk) 19:48, 25 November 2016 (UTC)
Original Doll
I feel like there should be some mention of Original Doll which was an album Britney recorded without the knowledge of her record label. She called and showed up to Kiss FM shoeless on December 31st 2004 and had them play what she said was the first single of her upcoming album. The single was Mona Lisa, and that her upcoming album was named Original Doll. She said the album was half done and it would be out summer or fall 2005 if not sooner. Right after the record label stated none of that was true and it wasn't being released. [1]
