Isn't this the same Hip Hop DX that screwed up the track listing just days before the release? Niteshift36 (talk) 00:09, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

• Wonder why they can't get their dates straight. MTV is reporting it too. I trust them a lot more than HipHopDX. Niteshift36 (talk) 04:53, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

• It's not difficult to cite it properly. Just put the liner info into a citation, not just writing it in the text. Niteshift36 (talk) 02:51, 27 June 2010 (UTC)
• Why not put it in a citation template? That includes year, publisher etc. Niteshift36 (talk) 02:58, 27 June 2010 (UTC)
• And they keep changing it anyway. Since the liner notes aren't online anywhere I've seen, who is right? We don't know. Niteshift36 (talk) 04:43, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

The Dark Side Vol. 1

Where is the original research? where is the "previously published material"? I removed a sentence that included misspelling and grammatical errors, as noted in my summary, and poor factual reference.--216.18.244.48 (talk) 18:08, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

This edit removed sourced content that Fat Joe said about the album. You said in your edit summary " This is not new to this album, he has already incorporated southern hip hop production and raggaeton in his previous albums" that is a violation of WP:OR as you are offering origional research in that statement. I have fixed the grammer in the sentance. STAT -Verse 18:35, 26 June 2010 (UTC

Nas/Game associated acts.

You said Nas has appeared on every Game album, and vise versa?

Nonsense, do the research before you post untrue gibberish just because you want YOUR WAY.

Game has NEVER appeared on a Nas album, and Nas has only appeared on two of Games four albums. He is not scheduled to appear on his latest effort, and he did not appear on The Documentary. Look it up! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Partially730 (talk • contribs) 04:27, 27 June 2010 (UTC)

Well as i said in my last edit summary Game was on "Hustlers" off Hip Hop is Dead and on "Make the World Go Round" off Untitled Nas album. Nas was featured on L.A.X. and Docters Advocate and it is unknown if he's on RED until the tracklist comes out. STAT -Verse 04:29, 27 June 2010 (UTC)

:P.S. Re. "Curse word" - Thank you for removing the q. greatly appreciated. My note here is merely to try and help; just advice...

Please, don't take it personally. For one thing, wikipedia is not censored - what you might consider a 'curse-word', others may consider fine...and the debate about such things can go on forever, believe me.

We have to operate in a global, collegiate environment; so, it's necessary to often accept a great deal of good faith. Be extra polite all the time; do not rise to any taunts, and...well, think the best of everyone. We're all actually here for the same thing...to make Wikipedia even better. If you object to the word "fuck" then, I'm sorry, but you've chosen the wrong internet...no disrespect intended. I hope you will understand.

there are many albums with way less information than T-Pain's next album. I put all this work and research into typing this! please revert it back? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lilv4t098 (talk • contribs) 23:07, 30 June 2010 (UTC)

Well the article as it stands has no reliable sources. If you can find some sources from places like Rap-Up.com, MTV.com, HipHopDX.com, AllHipHop.com, Billboard.com or other reliable sources then the article can exist. STAT -Verse 23:11, 30 June 2010 (UTC)

RE: Recovery

According to the scale, "Top-selling or top-charting albums may have High importance, as it is likely that a good number of reliable secondary sources exist that could be used to reference the article". Its first-week sales do not merit importance or being "historically and culturally notable", as the high-importance suggests. I think the album fits mid-importance, which states "High-selling or high-charting albums may be rated mid-importance, even if they do not have a high level of historical or cultural significance". Since the album has been out long enough to make any more than just a sales impact, this would be a safe bet. But u can bring it up to WP Albums talk page for more opinions.

Last edit was over 24 hours ago. Am I missing something?  7  05:13, 3 July 2010 (UTC)

Okay I understand that, as his most recent edit was too vandalism after his final warning. Just because I didn't have the time to put in a report then, he doesn't get blocked or something? STAT -Verse 05:16, 3 July 2010 (UTC)

I get how you feel, but see the second sentence in that section - AIV blocking is preventative, not punitive. If I block him now, a day after he last vandalized, I am not preventing anything. If he vandalizes again, he would be quickly blocked. Keep up the good work patrolling.  7  05:27, 3 July 2010 (UTC)

Recovery.

Hello, I saw you reverted my edit on Eminem's album. I'll tell you why I've reverted it back. Images are all subject to copyright and only one cover is allowed for use on Wikipedia. Sometimes a second one is allowed if the image is so different that it can't be described in words. But both images are easy to describe using words alone. Jayy008 (talk) 22:09, 4 July 2010 (UTC)

Look, I know it's not perfect. It takes a long time to find all the articles with more than one image. Especially older ones. There was ALOT of trouble with the Gaga articles. But eventually one is used in almost all of them because discussions are overuled by fair-use policies. Fair-Use can't simply be claimed because they are different, the second cover has to be something you can't describe with words. I don't like this rule personally, as I've tried to argue it many times. But ultimately overruled on all occasions. Jayy008 (talk) 22:29, 4 July 2010 (UTC)

I'm affraid I make it a point to ignore such things as they are long and annoying, so I just follow them. I will however pass your message onto an administrator who will be glad to point you to the page and answer any questions. Jayy008 (talk) 22:33, 4 July 2010 (UTC)

I have posted a message HERE. He should reply within a day or so. Jayy008 (talk) 22:36, 4 July 2010 (UTC)

PS. Music videos are the same. Put they are more strict as with covers you're allowed one no matter what. The music video screen shot simply has to show something that you can't describe in words, in any way shape or form. Jayy008 (talk) 22:43, 4 July 2010 (UTC)

No, you're right. It doesn't to me. I don't think it would hold up if nominated for deletion, but I only remove images that I'm 100% sure about. The others I will nominate for deletion and then someone else will decide. Jayy008 (talk) 11:22, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

Somebody has re-added the cover. They've shown a new discussion to which the rules have changed. Now it's simply if the cover is different and widely distributed then it's allowed. It's a shame it takes so long as half of Wiki's images have already been deleted. PS. This only goes for covers not screen shots of music videos. Jayy008 (talk) 12:42, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

I got this posted to me... On wikipedia the primary preference for images are those which are classfied as free content. Per the policy at Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria non-free content can only be used when free content is not available.

• Critically WP:NFCC#3a states that Multiple items of non-free content are not used if one item can convey equivalent significant information. Therefore the use of more than one single/album cover is almost always not justifiable.
• Additionally WP:NFCC#8 states that Non-free content is used only if its presence would significantly increase readers' understanding of the topic, and its omission would be detrimental to that understanding. Therefore if words alone can explain alternative versions or releases of an album then additional covers are not allowed.

Re:Venom

I think the dates are helpful because it shows a lot...either incompetence by the record label/artist or reasoning behind delays. I think showcasing how long people have been awaiting albums, or when they expected them at one point is historical information. I mean, when Cham's single dropped in September 09 and then he announced the album was coming in December, people were excited for that. Then he says Feb/March, people get excited again, then it's June, etc etc. It let's people question what is really going on here in this industry. -- Erroneuz1 (talk) 04:24, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

The Rehab (album)

I'm contibuing the conversation here because I don't want other users to think we're trying to sway the debate either way. The issue is that per WP:NALBUMS the release date, name and track listing must be directly attributable to the artist/label. It is not in this case. Also how can the album cover be justified as the digital capture of a physical copy of the album if the album is not available? If it has not been released, from who's copy of the album was the cover captured? --Lil-unique1 (talk) 21:16, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

The album cover was posted on Thisis50.com which is 50 Cent's official website and 50 Cent is still profesionaly assosated with Young Buck. As I said in my last comment "The title has been confirmed in interveiws by Young Buck and the release date came from the Label. Red Flag on the Right Side 21:21, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

WP:NALBUMS really (as I read it) seems to give a very strong presumption for deletion of articles on prospective albums, suggesting almost (as I read it) that the date/name/track listing not only be "minimum requirements" but not to be the only minimum requirements--so I think this is the right decision, policy seems to be very much about the "I'll believe it when I see it." I don't see the album cover art as being part of the deletion question, so I'll leave that question be. And Lil, you were right that my attempt at humor over in the AfD page was out of line. My apologies. --j⚛e decker^talk 21:45, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

Its ok (the humour was funny but a little alarming - i worked hard on that album trying to salvage it LOL) it doesn't matter. If the album is not in physical existance it is wrong to say that there is a confirmed album cover. If that's the case then why is Thisis50.com not given as the source? Also there is no shame or downgrade in an album not having its own page. Its just that given the information available it could easily be merged to the artist's page. The whole point of an album page is that there has been enough indendent coverage about the album as a body of work itself. The Rehab hasnt really had that. --Lil-unique1 (talk) 21:47, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

If the problem is there is no tracklist then the fact that the release date is in a month means the tracklist will comeout very soon. If Young Buck was as big in rap as Lil Wayne then there would be tracklist and alot more coverage by this time. Red Flag on the Right Side 23:15, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

Why do you keep removing my changes to the 'Awards and nominations' section. They are properly formatted, and better referenced than previous versions. If you don't see anything there, it may be your browser or computer's problem, not my edit. Thanks, Adabow(complain) 05:42, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

Yes I see that one but as I said, you messed up with the format to make it look like that on Drake (entertainer). Red Flag on the Right Side 06:14, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) Hi, friends. Don't mind by butting in here, please, but I may have found a solution.

The Discography section of Drake (entertainer) had the abortive beginnings of two columns in it. This had the effect of destroying the tables in the Awards section. In Internet Explorer (IE) 6, the tables were not invisible, really, but crushed mercilessly off to the left side, such that no content could be seen. The heights of the table were apparently OK, but the tables were compressed to about 5px wide. Firefox showed everything as hunky-dory, which may be why Adabow was surprised by the reverts

I've now removed the {{col-begin}} and {{col-2}} that I found and now the tables show up correctly (AFAICT) in my IE6. Please test it for yourselves (and do revert me if still appropriate). — JohnFromPinckney (talk) 10:30, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

Drake

I know that his mother is caucasian. But that doesn't make Drake himself caucasian. Barack Obama, who has a similar background, is never described as caucasian either. I doubt you could find a reliable source that would describe either one as that. All Hallow's Wraith (talk) 06:46, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

You should bring this issue up on Drake's talk page. Personally, I think it makes Wikipedia look absurd to list a half-African-American rapper as a "caucasian rapper". Aside from that, I don't think there are any legitimate news sources out there that describe him as "white" or "caucasian" ("half-white", maybe, but that's true of Obama also).
