Full Stop[edit]

"Full Stop" was not a promotional single. It was leaked onto the internet as part of the fan-titled "Open Your Eyes" album. A few radio stations played the song to generate buzz, but Victoria had no plans to return to music. EW mistakenly reported it as a comeback. Also, the rapper on the song is not Nas. He has not been identified. Entry removed from her discography, and EW article removed as a source - incorrect information.

Currency conversion[edit]

Under “Power and Influence,” the conversion of pounds to dollars is incorrect. It should be closer to $125 m, not $225 m. 173.72.18.72 (talk) 03:47, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 17 January 2024[edit]

(Edit reopened with new references)

Add " Songwriter " to Victoria Beckhams occupations.

She has many writing credits, such as on majority of "Spice Girls" songs, and has writing credits on her own Solo songs.

References:

  • When viewing the writing credits on the "Spice" album, Victoria Beckham has writing credits on every song.[1]
  • On the website "Lyrics.lyricfind.com" she is labeled as one of the writers under numerous songs on various Spice Girl albums.[2][3][4]
  • Her solo album titled "Victoria Beckham", she has also been credited on songs such as "A Mind Of Its Own", "Like That" and "Girlfriend" under the name "V Beckham"[5]
 Not done: you need to provide reliable sources that describe her as a songwriter. M.Bitton (talk) 23:53, 19 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Is this serious?[edit]

"and Anthony William Adams, who worked as an electronics engineer, and drove a Rolls-Royce, something she would later dispute."

Is this supposed to be tongue-in-cheek? SeleneMarie (talk) 22:43, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Do a search for her dad on the internet. He owned a company supplying electronics parts and they lived in a house with a pool. (Don't know where you are in the world but having a swimming pool in the UK in the 1980s was a sign of considerable wealth, like only five houses in the town of 60k people or something.)--ToaneeM (talk) 17:44, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I understand that, and I can recognize it came from the furor in the promo of her Netflix documentary. It was a running joke, and a snippet of a scene where she mentions this made the rounds. However, it seems silly to add this detail. It lacks sense, and it even throws off that part in her biography. SeleneMarie (talk) 20:56, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
