A lot of the information regarding the forming of *NSYNC is inaccurate. A revision that includes more recent books, articles, interviews or even Lance Bass' documentary would rectify this information.
The numbers given for Timberlake's overall album/record sales as well as the stats for *NSYNC sales are at-least a decade old, they are not accurate and could be updated. Even though some of those numbers have not been certified by the RIAA (even those that have are almost a decade and a half old) they have certainly been reported and updated to charts such as Chartmasters, Chart Data and among countless others.
Why would you want to change the picture to his mugshot? It's clear what you are trying to do. He is famous for his singing and acting. Not for this. That picture should not be used. TechnicolorVision (talk) 00:57, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
And just to make it clear, the mugshot was likely to be a copyright violation, hence the red link which is visible. Wikipedia generally does not allow images found from the internet, which the mugshot was very likely to originate from. Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 15:50, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
"Timberlake later rose to prominence in late 1997 as the lead vocalists for the boyband *NSYNC."
It should be "lead vocalist". A previous version of the page included "Timberlack and Chavez" as subjects of that sentence so I guess that's the reason why there's a mistake. Saraccio (talk) 09:53, 19 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
