[edit] cleanup

I have replaced the cleanup tag that was removed without comment. I have also replaced my recente edits (to diambiguate a few links), which were similarly removed without comment. I have also removed an external link to copyvio material.

This article in very poor shape, and has some POV problems. In particular, the large, unattributed quote in the beginning of the article should be rewritten. If the quote is to be kept, it needs to be set-up properly and given some context. This is probably not the right course of action, since the quote is much larger than what's normal -- particularly compared to the size of this article. -- Mikeblas 22:40, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

Now OK! LUCPOL 11:58, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
The out-of-place quote I mentioned still remains, so I've replaced the cleanup tag. Please clean up the quote; removing it outright might be a good idea, since it is unattributed. -- Mikeblas 21:12, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
I've removed the quote and taken a cleanup pass through the article. Not surprisingly, there's really little information here on the band. This article would benefit from some research and good writing. -- Mikeblas 00:41, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Doug Carrion merge

After removing the material that was copyvio pasted from AllMusicGuide, the Doug Carrion page contains almost nothing that isn't on the Kottonmouth Kings page. I suggest they're merged, so that Doug Carrion redirects to Kottonmouth Kings. -- Mikeblas 16:49, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

It turns out Doug Carrion isn't a member of KK -- making it even more questionable that the same paragraph appears here and in the Doug Carrion topic. I'll put Doug Carrion up for deletion, since nothing salvagable is left. -- Mikeblas 17:13, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
Was Doug Karrion in the KK, or no? AllMusic doesn't say he was, and neither does this article. Some other articles do, though. What's the story? -- Mikeblas 17:52, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
Doug Carrion does guitar/bass work on the albums. I dont know if he tours with the band or just performs on the album -- jhaddon

[edit] !?!

Please not written "D-Loc works with DJ Bobby B in Tsunami Brothers and Johnny Richter in Kingspade, as well as a solo career as Shaky Bonez." or "Daddy X fronts the Humble Gods (of which Doug Carrion is also a guitarist) and a solo career" etc. This is arcicle "Kottonmouth Kings", only Kottonmouth Kings! PS. Please not erase 1/4 arcicle. This is vandalism. LUCPOL 21:36, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

The text you're asserting "not written" is already in the article as it stands today; I'm just moving it to a more appropriate spot -- outside of the decsription of the band and to the section on the individual members. After all, that text describes the side projects of the individual members, and not the band itself. I explained my intent to removed the giant quote above, more than a week ago. That quote is nearly nonsensical, and is not attributed to anything. Even if it were correct, it is a terrible run-on sentence and needs copy editing. -- Mikeblas 22:57, 13 July 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Arcicle in magazine

[edit] Songs

I've removed the list of songs from the article, as they're available on the articles for each album and the information is redundant here. -- Mikeblas 16:30, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

Right. Lists song in arcicle on album. LUCPOL 18:11, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] vandalizm

this page needs to be cleaned up badly soon please. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.227.235.53 (talk • contribs).

It was taken care of earlier today. In the future, feel free to edit and revert yourself. -- Mikeblas 21:28, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Label

It says in this article that they are on and run their own label but for many of their album's wikipedia entries it puts them under Capitol Records. Which one is right? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Lukereiser (talk • contribs) 08:35, 22 December 2006 (UTC).

They only have a few albums released on Capitol Recors, most of their albums have been released on Suburban Noize Records (their own label). War wizard90 23:55, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Save this page

I'm going to do some research and try to save this page. Anybody who wants to help please do but I think there should be a legit KMK page. After this I will probably move on to creating a Subnoize Souljaz page and working on the others related to KMK. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by RankRabbit (talk • contribs) 01:49, 7 January 2007 (UTC).

I had most of the new page written until somebody screwed me up and I hadn't saved it so I still go some work. I plan on doing some more and hopefully finishing but I won't be able to find the time until later. If someone would like the notes I have to work on the page just leave a message on my talk page.--RankRabbit 07:28, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Album name incorrect

The name of the album released in May of 2005 is self-titled "Kottonmouth Kings". It is NOT named No. 7, just because it has the Jack Daniels No. 7 on the cover doesn't make it the name of the CD. Look it up on iTunes it even comes up under the album name Kottonmouth Kings, not No. 7 It is also on their website at http://kottonmouthkings.com/media_kmk.php Someone needs to fix it. War wizard90 11:36, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

Nevermind I fixed it, and nominated No.7 (album) as an artice for deletion.
