[edit] International Ballers (G-Unit Radio Part 2)

I notice that you recreated the article International Ballers (G-Unit Radio Part 2). This article has been previously deleted after this discussion: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/So Seductive (G-Unit Radio Part 12). Every recreation of this article which does not clearly assert the notability (per WP=MUSIC) will swiftly be redeleted. Please make sure that if you recreate this article, it immediately asserts sufficient notability: otherwise please refrain from recreating this article. You are more than welcome to edit other articles of course. Fram 11:31, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Notability question

Hi! I've noticed your name on some hip-hop articles I've been editing so I thought I'd ask your opinion on something. Do you think the G-Unit radio series mixtapes found at the G-Unit discography page deserve articles of their own? Or should they simply be kept in the discography page without expansion? Spellcast 17:06, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

Well, I'd going to say that they are notable and deserve their own articles, mainly for this reason (as per WP:Notability (music)):

Though this guideline is somewhat controversial, the general consensus on notability of albums is that if the musician or ensemble that made them is considered notable, then their albums have sufficient notability to have individual articles on Wikipedia.

According to this, there's no reason why the articles shouldn't be created (or kept for that matter). However I do think that the articles should be expanded (meaning more detailed information; preferably information that explains why a specific album is significant compared to the other two dozen in the series). And I also think they need to be formatted properly (meaning more categories, placing track titles in quotes, etc.). If the articles are improved, their notability wont be questioned so often.--NPswimdude500 21:13, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] User:Lmurray2

I wanted to let you know before I did it, that I'm removing the vandalism warning that you left on this user's page (regarding recent edits to Before I Self Destruct) and replacing it with a more serious warning. This user has made numerous edits vandalizing wikipedia and has received last warnings in the past. It is my belief that a more severe warning is justified.--NPswimdude500 04:46, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Oops! My bad, I just realized that you left a warning regarding a different article. Your warning stays and I'll add my own. Sorry for the inconvenience!--NPswimdude500 04:50, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Images

Hi Spellcast, thanks for the heads up. I think possibly unfree images is the best place for images like that, but then I'll be the first to admit that I'm not very experienced with images or image policy. There are some administrators who are very good with images; 2 I can think of off the top of my head are Howcheng and Sherool. It may be worth asking them. Thanks, and keep up the good work! – Riana ^ঋ 01:30, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Newbie testing and vandalism cleanup

I just wanted to leave a note of appreciation for all of the cleanup of vandalism and newbie testing that you're doing. Jkelly 17:26, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 50 Cent discography and Rihanna

I would agree with A Man In Black on this one. The amount of information on the albums isn't enough to justify using album covers for it; WP:MUSTARD also recommends against using them. As far as the Rihanna picture, I reuploaded but luckily remembered to check the logs. I think the image may have actually been deleted for another reason; it was noted as a copyvio from Getty Images. That's not where I got the image, but I'm guessing the Flickr user might have gotten the picture from Getty Images, so I asked the Commons admin who deleted it. ShadowHalo 19:09, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] {{unreferenced}}

The {{unreferenced}} template always used to be placed at the end of an article in a "sources" section. For some reason controversy has arisen, but (as the template page explains), the two options don't include the top of the article:

"There is currently no consensus about where to place this template; most suggest either the bottom of the article page (in an empty 'References' section), or on the article's talk page."

By the way, your revert also swept up other corrections. --Mel Etitis (Talk) 08:27, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Yes, I was wrong about the wikilink (odd; I'd thought that U.S. place-name articles had been made consistent). About the template placement, though, I don't think that it is a mater of personal choice; if didfferent people place them differently, aside from the messiness it can cause confusion. --Mel Etitis (Talk) 08:47, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Notability of Karn'age

A tag has been placed on Karn'age, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page (below the existing db tag) and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. DES ^(talk) 19:47, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

FYI you edited the article Karn'age on 22:52, 26 March 2007 and again on 22:53, 26 March 2007, according to the page's history. It appears that your edits were solely to add an {{Unreferenced}} tag to the article. The article has since been deleted as a biography of a non-notable person. I added the above msg to your talk page because you appeared more than once in the list of editors of the article, and that is standrd practice when considering speedy deletion of an article. I failed to check more deeply into exactly what your edits were until i got your msg on my talk page today.I hope that explains the matter. DES ^(talk) 20:57, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
