Understanding what maternal grandfather means
editA person can have only one maternal grandfather. "one of Spears' maternal grandfathers was Maltese" should be changed. Probably to "Spears' maternal grandfather was Maltese" as that is what is supported by the associated reference... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.148.196.60 (talk) 12:27, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
- The source in question was a memoir written by Lynne Spears, the mother of Britney Spears. I’m assuming (unless otherwise stated) that Lynne was describing her own family history, so her Maltese maternal grandfather would be one of her daughter’s great-grandfathers.
- I’ve fixed wording now, as that might explain the confusion. Clear Looking Glass (talk) 08:40, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

Nature Moon The two sources you provided in the article do not state that there divorce proceedings were finalized.
People (magazine) "and the papers now await signoff from a judge to finalize the split."[1]
Billboard (magazine) "To be finalized, the deal must now be signed by the judge overseeing the case."[2]
I have corrected the information of these two sources for the article. Cena332 (talk) 20:57, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
Cena332 I understand. Thanks for noticing. Nature Moon (talk) 21:04, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
- @Nature Moon Ok just be careful next time to read the content in the article. Lot of gotcha headlines Cena332 (talk) 21:06, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

Divorce
editI think there's some confusion regarding her divorce from Asghari. I recently added her divorce finalization from AP News which states it was finalized last Friday, indicating April 26[1] But then there’s other sources stating it will be finalized on her birthday? I've never heard of having to wait 7 months for a divorce to actually be finalized. Anyone know what should be stated and placed in infobox?

- @Funnyfarmofdoom: @Cena332: What are your thoughts on this? I just noticed your recent discussion regarding this. Pillowdelight (talk) 00:46, 7 August 2024 (UTC)
- By California law, the divorce can't be final for at least 6 months (called a waiting period). [2][3] In May a agreement was reached on spousal support. Cena332 (talk) 22:02, 11 August 2024 (UTC)
