Moana[edit]

Why was the fact that he composed the soundtrack for Moana removed from the things he is best known for at the beginning of the article? Because I would argue most people know about his work in Moana that there are people who even know In the Heights exists. 105.112.55.191 (talk) 01:29, 20 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Moana is in the third paragraph. We don't care if Moana is known or not, we only care about whether Miranda is known for Moana. There's difference. Various reliable sources state Miranda is known for In the Heights, Hamilton and Encanto. ℛonherry☘ 05:19, 20 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

He's known for Moana too... ALEXANDER HAMILTON ALEXANDER HAMILTON JUST U WAIT JUST U WAIT LegalSmeagolian (talk) 15:59, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also has credits in Moana[edit]

Also wrote or co-wrote several songs Moana - incl you’re welcome, and I’m shiny , perhaps others 99.0.112.250 (talk) 15:44, 8 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestion to change "playwright" to "librettist"[edit]

I suggest to change "playwright" to "librettist", as Lin has only written books for musicals, not plays. Also it should be included before "filmmaker".177.95.74.164 (talk) 19:01, 19 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

librettist is not common parlance so I would change it to playwright. LegalSmeagolian (talk) 15:58, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Occupation arrangement[edit]

JDDJS, why are you against arranging the list of occupations? It should match with the infobox in the same list. You say it’s not an improvement. How come? Ziggy Coltrane (talk) 22:06, 6 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The opening sentence shouldn't be overloaded. Combining composer and lyricist into just songwriter is one way to prevent it from being overloaded. Songwriting should also be listed first because it is clearly his most notable occupation. JDDJS (talk to me • see what I've done) 23:00, 6 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, so why shouldn’t I add singer to the opening sentence? He is well known as a singer, just as he is in acting and writing. It’s what he’s well known that should be added.Ziggy Coltrane (talk) 06:04, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I won't stop you from adding singer to the lead, but others have objected to it in the past, so don't be surprised if it gets removed. JDDJS (talk to me • see what I've done) 16:00, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Typo[edit]

Under 2015–present: Disney projects, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker "writing a song for the scene on the desert planet Pasadena" The planet is Pasaana. 184.55.143.3 (talk) 05:05, 16 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
