This article repeats "Combs was raised Catholic" twice and also mentions how he was an altar boy twice. I feel like this is redundant and unnecessary and one of those instances can be removed. CerealContainer (talk) 01:59, 22 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I disagree. It is relevant in both sections as it is part of his upbringing and current religious views. Can this be changed back? Mabelist (talk) 01:58, 23 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I think if this duplicate content were present at the time of the GA nomination I would have been asked to remove it. Religion is not a big part of his life. — Diannaa🍁 (talk) 14:32, 23 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
If it should only be mentioned once, I believe it fits better in Early Life. It is important enough to Combs that his defense team brought up him being a former Catholic altar boy when requesting bail at a hearing. "Mr. Agnifilo tried to convince the judge of his client’s good character, saying he was a religious man who watched a sermon each day and was an altar boy as a child" source Altar boy should be in Early Life but could be removed from Personal Life though. Mabelist (talk) 15:42, 23 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I think it's more appropriate in Early Life because the section is about his childhood and upbringing, how he was raised. He does speak about his religious upbringing a lot in interviews and most recently in court at the September 2024 hearing so it is important to him. Mabelist (talk) 02:53, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I would like to be granted permission to edit Sean Combs's page to add latest updates of his trial, such as his rejection of a plea deal.
I'm afraid that's not how an edit request works. You ask for specific changes to be made, if you have more experience (i.e., edits) you'll be granted those rights automatically. soetermans. ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK18:43, 28 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The current image is alright, but it has a few problems. One of them is that he is in sunglasses. While it is more recent, it poorly depicts him by not showing his eyes. Another one of them is that it is a screenshot straight from a video. I propose this picture from 2012. It is high quality and shows what Diddy's face actually shows like, acting as a better display image in several ways
Note the suggested image is already present on the page, in the "Other ventures" section. I have no objection to moving it to the infobox.— Diannaa🍁 (talk) 20:15, 30 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I think the 2023 image is perfectly fine. The quality is good and is from less than 2 years ago compared to a photo from over 13 years ago. Many other main wiki photos have sunglasses on. Shoot for the Stars (talk) 08:33, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Diannaa I agree with changing it. Yes, the picture is 12 years old, but he still looks the same. It wouldn't be the only 12+ year old infobox photo on Wikipedia. Twistybrastrap (talk) 01:56, 16 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Even though it is common recency doesn’t matter as Diddy looks pretty much the same as he does in that photo. Sunglasses are also not preferred in wikipedia photos, as they block eyes Wcamp9 (talk) 02:40, 21 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Please change the infobox image to the one that depicts the subject's likeness without sunglasses, which are traditionally used to obscure. On first viewing of the page, I had the same thought as the suggestion here. 1peterk (talk) 16:40, 4 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
level-5 vital article is rated GA-class on Wikipedia's content assessment scale.
Done. Thanks for the suggestion. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 12:57, 22 March 2025 (UTC)
