 | This page in a nutshell: Replace or supplement announcements with facts whenever possible. |
Consider the "Coaches section of a 16 October 2022 version of the article on the US TV series The Voice or at least this list of excerpts from it (footnotes and formatting omitted):
- "In an interview with Ellen DeGeneres in February 2014, Green revealed that he would not be returning to The Voice."
- "On March 31, 2014, it was announced that Pharrell Williams would become Green's replacement."
- "On April 19, 2014, it was announced that No Doubt's Gwen Stefani would replace Aguilera in season seven due to her pregnancy."
- "On May 20, 2014, Shakira and Usher confirmed that after season six, they would focus on their music."
- "On March 25, 2016, Miley Cyrus confirmed that following her role as key advisor during the tenth season that she would be joining the series once again in its eleventh season as a coach."
- "On October 18, 2016, it was announced that Stefani would re-join the coaches' panel for the series' twelfth season, ...".
- "On April 27, 2017, in an interview published by TV Insider, Keys confirmed that the twelfth season would be her last."
- "On September 13, 2018, John Legend was announced as a coach for the show's sixteenth season, alongside returning coaches Clarkson, Levine and Shelton."
- "On February 25, 2019 it was announced that Bebe Rexha will be the fifth coach for season 16 Comeback Stage."
- "In March 2021, it was announced that Ariana Grande would replace Jonas for season twenty-one alongside returning coaches Clarkson, Legend and Shelton."
These are only a fraction of the announcements and confirmations that make up the bulk of the Coaches section.
In retrospect, observing all these announcements from the month of creation of this essay (October 2022), it is clear that each of them has by now either materialized or failed to materialize. That the article speaks, in all these cases, not of the fact of each coach's participation in the show but of the announcement of their planned participation implies that Wikipedia readers are more interested in the announcements than in the facts.
That is not true, of course.
