User doesn't require QPQ. Could you clean up the references on the article? They are giving up some errors. I dislike WP:REFBOMBs, could you clean up the bit that says: " comedian Pete Davidson,[17][18][19][20]". I'd remove the quote from the initial hook, as that's not what is hooky. Do we know which movie it was? Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 16:37, 8 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Lee Vilenski: I have fixed the article regarding your comments. About the movie, Ariana Grande never stated from which movie the line was from, and I have googled it and I haven't succeed. Regards, Paparazzzi (talk) 19:15, 8 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Doesn't it say The Shining in the article? Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 19:19, 8 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Lee Vilenski: Hi, it seems like somebody modified that sentence. The reference does not support that claim. Ariana never said from which movie she got the quote. I have reverted that edition already. Regards, Paparazzzi (talk) 00:45, 10 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Lee Vilenski: It is not reliable. Regards, Paparazzzi (talk) 15:18, 10 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
