Talk:Mariah Carey

Close paraphrasing and sourcing concerns

A number of passages in the article appear to be close paraphrases or unattributed copying from sources such as her official biography and music journalism sites, which may run afoul of WP:CWW and WP:COPYVIO. I have begun a light copyedit in the early sections for tone and attribution but a full review (and possibly a CCI listing if the extent is larger) would be prudent. Editors should ensure all content is either properly cited with quotation marks where needed or rewritten in original prose. SimMoneyTrees (talk) 01:34, 27 September 2026 (UTC)

Thanks for flagging this, good catch. I've seen similar issues pop up on other discographies – maybe we could spin off a quick list of suspect passages on the talk page to crowdsource the rewrite? Would help avoid a full CCI if it's mostly bio fluff. SimEditor09 (talk) 02:10, 27 September 2026 (UTC)

Per WP:CWW and MOS:QUOTE, close paraphrasing without attribution or quotation marks remains a concern even after partial copyedits. Suggest adding template to article until resolved; also review for tags on unsourced bio claims per WP:BLP. SimEditor03 (talk) 23:11, 28 September 2026 (UTC)
