This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Please add under Philanthropy:

Hilary Duff has been a supporter of “Blessings in a Backpack” (www.blessingsinabackpack.org) since its inception in 2005. In addition to being the sole supporter of a large program in Los Angeles, Hilary represents “Blessings in a Backpack” across the world to spread awareness about this growing concern and how important it is to help support these children, who are our future.

All Compilation albums Must be posted on the Discography section

All Artist pages must have the Compilation albums posted on their Discography section. Removing this information is vandalism. Please do not remove it again. Thank you JamesAlan1986 (talk-Contributes) 05:36, 24 June 2011 (UTC)

Incorrect in both cases. ℥ 02:06, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

filmography section

Why in Duff's filmography section, does it show TV peformances/interviews? ie; Jingle Bell Rock, Disney 411 etc. How does an interview qualify as a guest starring role or a TV series? Also the same user Ending-start keeps changing and re-verting (note: not only my edits) without consensus, again peformances and interviews segments should not be included in a filmography Ifiwere (talk) 19:37, 3 July 2011 (UTC)

Express Yourself was a short series, which I think should be removed. Along with Diary. But Island Birthday Bash was a one-off sort of documentary thing, same as Jingleball Rock. Not sure about Disney 411, it seems like it should be included. As for the films, The Chase is a series of shorts, and they go in quotation marks, while Stay Cool received an OFFICIAL release in 2010, but premiered in 2009. One showcase of the film in 2009 does NOT warrant an official release. ℥ 02:05, 4 July 2011 (UTC)
well Disney 411 wasn't a tv show, it was were they interviewed disney stars, so it should be removed. Ok "The Chase" should be in italic why wouldn't it be regular every film is diffent, so does that mean tv movies should be in a diffrent formatt? No. Stay Cool is an idependent film, SOME independent films never get distrubiation worldwide, Stay Cool primered in 2009, AND THEN it was screened (showed) in tribecca, (ie: this years festival was troughout April 20- May 1, 2011) so Stay Cool didn't premierd is was screened/showed more than a week, some independent film (LIKE BLOODWORTH) are release for less time! Stay Cool was release in theaters (TRIBECA'S) then later on dvd, so its not a direct-to-dvd film when it was also SCRRENED ON THEATHEARS in Cannes, i think it's to be debbated if they film is a 2009 film or a 2010 film. Ifiwere (talk) 18:19, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

Discography section

I have tried to revert this to show the compilation albums because I've seen it included on many artist pages, Hilary Duff maybe an actress but she's a singer as well and I can show pages that have the compilation albums included on it. LeAnn Rimes, Reba McEntire, Brooks & Dunn, Kenny Chesney, Martina McBride, all these wikipedia pages have them why shouldn't this one? JamesAlan1986 (talk-Contributes) 05:34, 6 July 2011 (UTC)

I want to add this as well it is posted under notability:
"In general, if the musician or ensemble is notable, and if the album in question has been mentioned in multiple reliable sources, then their officially released albums may have sufficient notability to have individual articles on Misplaced Pages. Unreleased material (including demos, mixtapes, bootlegs, promo-only recordings) are in general not notable; however, they may be notable if they have significant independent coverage in reliable sources. Album articles with little more than a track listing may be more appropriately merged into the artist's main article or discography article, space permitting."

Going by this it should be on there and there is space to put it on so there is no reason for this not to be included on there. JamesAlan1986 (talk-Contributes) 05:39, 6 July 2011 (UTC)

Entrepreneurship

i couldnt help but wonder why there isnt any mention of any of the products she has endorsed/done commercials for, it could all go into one paragraph under Entrepreneurship, my version of the paragraph would be something like this:

Duff has participated in many endorsement deals including a VISA prepaid credit card for children aged six to thirteen. She has also filmed commercials for Ice Breakers with her sister Haylie Duff, filmed numerous commercials for Kohl's Candies, appeared in a commercial for the Oxygen Network as well as two commercials for Disney Japan's Disney Mobile. She has also participated in a marketing campaign for the Hasbro personal video player VideoNow.

i think it should be added to her article as this is useful information, i don't think it is irrelevant as these are big brands she appeared with, also on other celebrities pages it includes endorsements and commercials they have appeared in - PS this paragraph has all those links needed to verify the content if you look back in the archives a few pages - it just wouldnt let me copy and paste them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.100.24.10 (talk) 19:19, 19 July 2011 (UTC)

Hilary's picture is very outdated. Though this one is not much newer it is very similar to how she looks now in 2012. I think it reflects that she looks more like an adult now, while in her current picture she looks like a teenager. This is my own photo I uploaded so there are obviously no copyright issues. Please use it to update her photo.

Recent edits

I'm not fairly happy with the recent edits by Status. I like the idea of basically writing a biography all in one section, but I feel this article needs to be broken into those separate sections. Stephenjamesx (talk) 21:23, 17 August 2011 (UTC)

I'm currently working on rewriting the entire article, so it's a mess atm. There is A LOT of unsourced information, and a lot of sections needing expansion. status ϟ 19:34, 21 August 2011 (UTC)

New Hilary Duff Page Format

I think that Duff's Page is too distracting and confusing, i think because she primary's an actress, and has a singing career, is an author and many buisness ventures that her page should be formatted diffrently, for example:

"Bio Paragraph"

1 Early life
2 Acting Career
__ 2.1 2001-03: Television, ......
__ 2.2 2004-06: Movie Career, ......
__ 2.3 2007-present: Independent films,

3 Other Work
__ 3.1 Music Career
__ 3.2 Young adult novels
__ 3.3 Entrepreneurship

4 Philanthropy
5 Personal life and image

6 Filmography
7 Discography

Ifiwere (talk) 23:21, 23 August 2011 (UTC)

Well the proposed structure seems good enough and i remember that her acting and singing career used to be stated in separate sections...However during various Peer reviews and FA nominations (u can check the talk page archives), it was suggested that her acting and singing career be merged into a chronological order which i personally dont approve of...I have edited this article a lot and was pursuing it for FA status. However, my busy schedule in real life has prevented me to reinvent and cleanup this article. If you can do this it would be great...However, I would like to know what other editors think of the proposed structure..Gprince007 (talk) 00:43, 24 August 2011 (UTC)

Nothing makes sense on this page

Hilary Duff's page is completely messed up. If you read all this stuff it makes it sound wrong. First off if we go by what I've been told, Most Wanted should be quoted as a compilation album instead of her third album. This page is really messed up that's all I can say. The chronology on all the album pages don't do as normal artist pages do. Nothing is correct on this page at all and it's a real disappointment. I think a Wikiproject should be started for Duff. JamesAlan1986 (talk-contribs) 17:58, 25 August 2011 (UTC)

this page needs attention

seriously whoever wrote that in the second lead about her being one of the best selling artists of all time, well shes not really is she lets be honest, the whole article needs a re-write in my opinion, what a dissapointment. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.39.23.69 (talk) 22:28, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

I'd like to know where the lead says that. It says "Billboard ranked her the 69th best selling artist of the 2000s" which is true, and it is sourced in the article. — Status {contribs  02:08, 29 September 2011 (UTC)
That phrase was added . I'm not finding the source in the article, nor do I see it on the (current) discography page. The Artist chart here only goes to 20. So where did it come from? Gimmetoo (talk) 04:52, 29 September 2011 (UTC)

Support new outline of page. Flows much better than it does currently, and is much easier for readers to read when looking for specific topics on Duff's life and career. Gimmetoo, it's been copyedited and different information on different aspects of her life/career have their own sections. — Status {contribs  01:25, 1 October 2011 (UTC)

SUPPORT....Looks good...Gprince007 (talk) 12:41, 2 October 2011 (UTC)

The problem with it is that you cant read the full article and get a feel for her career which at a time included her music and film career together as she worked on various musical and film projects, that is why these types of articles that have seperate sections are becoming less common, ie. both Jessica Simpson's and Lindsay Lohan's and Demi Lovato's articles were all changed to have everything in cronological order, simply titled Career, so that people can actually read it and see what they were doing at what time and how it affected their career. having it like this makes it all a bit higgeldy piggeldy and does not give the reader a good feel for that persons career. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.100.21.121 (talk) 17:06, 16 October 2011 (UTC)

Bibliography

under Filmography and Discography should be Bibliography, listing the books she has released like this: Elixir (2010) Devoted (2011) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.100.23.14 (talk) 00:27, 26 October 2011 (UTC)

Can i suggest for the music career bit:

2001-02: Soudtrack appearences and Santa Claus Lane 2003-2005: Metamorphosis, commercial success and Hilary Duff 2007-2008: Dignity and musical hiatus 2012: Fifth Studio album — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.243.29.213 (talk) 14:14, 4 April 2012 (UTC)

Changing discography

Should Santa Claus Lane (2002) be mentioned in the discography of this page? It feels odd, and it never was promoted as her debut album, just kinda a bit on the side. I also feel that the exclusion of Most Wanted (2005) is odd; it is one of her most successful albums worldwide. On Lady Gaga's page, they have adapted the discography to include Gaga's major releases. Should we do the same here? Thereby making the list as follows:

Stephenjamesx (talk) 14:38, 10 June 2012 (UTC)

  • Santa Claus Lane is her debut studio album, whether or not it was "promoted" that. Yes, I agree that Most Wanted should appear in the section. Statυs (talk) 03:58, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

Compilation albums and Dignity
  • "which also peaked at number 1 on Billboard's Hot Dance Club Songs chart, becoming the first of her three consecutive number ones on that chart." - 1.) Do you mention the second? 2.) Although outside your responsibility to this aritcle, it seems like you might want to add a column to Hilary Duff discography for Hot Dance Club Songs or at least ping several of the leading editors of the discography. If she seems to have her best success on that chart, that is something that should be included on that page. Her Hot 100 showings don't mesh with her album performances and belie her musical popularity during her prime. That will show she was a dance club star although not a radio airplay star.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 06:14, 25 June 2012 (UTC)
    • If you do that, you can state something like. "Although not successful on the Hot 100, she had three consecutive Hot Dance Club Songs and (x top 10s). Outside of the U.S. her early career singles were most popular in Canada where she had 3 Canadian Hot 100 top 10 hits and her later career singles were most popular in Italy, where she had 5 Federation of the Italian Music Industry top 10 hits.", sourced of course.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 06:22, 25 June 2012 (UTC)

  • It is not clear why File:Gossip309 2.jpg is necessary given all the free images. As a fair use image, it is of lower quality than almost all the free images and does not add so much given how much we can see of her without it. The role is not presented as that important a part of this article.

General comments: The article is well-written and pretty thorough. My main problem with the article is that the critical responses are summarized without any excerpt. We need a lot of Writer Foo of Big Time Magazine or Newspaper X said "this, that and the other" about Miss Duff. In just about every place where you say reviews were positive or negative you need to expand that with examples. Other than that please address the concerns above.

Ordinarily, I would Fail the article outright due to the extensive expansion necessary. However, in the spirit of the ongoing Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Good articles/GAN backlog elimination drives/June-July 2012, I will put this on hold for 7 days. Please respond to each concern on the subsequent line.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 06:50, 23 June 2012 (UTC)

Two and a Half Men

Can someone re-edit the episode title that Hilary is starring in the Two and a Half Men episode that she will be in, as "Bazinga! Thats From a TV Show" is NOT the episode she was in, she will be in the episode called "Cows, Prepare to be Tipped" as the info for the episode states: "While Jake and Alan go on a father-son bonding trip, Walden dates a 22-year old (Hilary Duff), only to be more interested in her grandmother (Marilu Henner).

Intro compression

Make the intro smaller?--88.111.114.72 (talk) 19:45, 25 September 2013 (UTC)

The discography section

Earlier today, I trimmed the discography section down to Hilary Duff's studio albums to make the section consistent with other articles about musicians; this also brought the section into compliance with Misplaced Pages:WikiProject_Musicians/Article_guidelines#Discography_section. Since then, a "TBA" has been re-inserted (since removed again by me, as "TBA" is unnecessary and speculation) as have Hilary's compliation albums. There is no need for a TBA or her compilation albums to be listed on this page; only studio albums are needed. Acalamari 15:54, 28 September 2013 (UTC)

Add more to her wiki page.

Hilary's Misplaced Pages needs more about her artistry. Look at singers pages like Britney Spears, Miley Cyrus, Beyoncé, etc. They all have stuff on their musical style, voice, and performances. Also, Hilary should have a legacy section where you could talk about how Hilary paved the way for a lot of Disney actors turned singers and how many female artists like Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez, Demi Lovato, and tons of other Disney/Nick girls aspire to be like her. Her main page needs her artistry added and it could be perfect. Just look at other female singers pages that I listed at the top to get an idea. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mariavolt (talk • contribs) 16:59, 12 November 2013 (UTC)

Bias/need for sources

The introduction doesn't have a single citation, and it's full of weasel words. The article itself reads like a of promotional biography that a publisher or shill would write. Looking through the revision history, I found this version which is better (though it still lacks sources in the introduction), which led me to find this user continually adding unsourced material. They have been warned twice about doing so, but have either misunderstood or ignored the warnings, and continue to fluff the article with (frankly excessive) information that does not include references. There is also bias in the wording itself, inasmuch that it conveys a sense of admiration for Duff.

She has also acted in a string of independent films with notable and critically-praised roles in War, Inc. (2008), According to Greta (2009) and Bloodworth (2011).
After signing with Hollywood Records, Duff expanded her repertoire to include pop music, and she has released four internationally-successful studio albums.
Duff has sold thirteen million albums worldwide and had performed across the world on four concert tours.
Stuff by Hilary Duff, however, was discontinued in 2008, as Duff ceased to have full control over her own clothing line.
Elixir was warmly received by both critics and fans, and it soon became a New York Times bestseller.
The huge success of Elixir was followed up with its sequel, Devoted, published in October 2011. As she had done with Elixir, Duff promoted Devoted with a book tour, but this time, only around the United States. The final book in the series, True, was published in April 2013. The trilogy also achieved international attention as Duff worked hard on promoting it.

That's just from the introduction paragraphs, which, to reiterate, contain zero sources. The bulk of the article is better, but still sometimes biased and full of fluff material. I may poke around with it later if I have the chance, but for now, I wanted to throw a few flags up in the hopes that someone can tone things down a bit and maybe talk to the above user about their editing. I formally retired from editing years ago, so I'm certainly not the best person to do it. --184.166.113.34 (talk) 17:35, 17 December 2013 (UTC)

It's not required that introductory paragraphs contain references (although per WP:LEAD, they can have them and determining if there should be sources in that section should be determined on a case-by-case basis). The intent of the section is that it should just summarize content in the main body of the article.
That said, the lead does seem excessive in length for the purpose of being an approachable overview of the subject. Also, the mention you flagged of three "critically-praised roles" do not appear to be cited as such in the body of the article, or I am overlooking it. That sentence can be worded more neutrally per NPOV to just state she had roles in independent films. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 18:56, 17 December 2013 (UTC)
