[edit] c&p from fan page

This article has been replaced by a copy & paste from the fan page a few days ago. -- srb 19:04, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

Consider it fixed.--Kross 02:32, 8 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Album covers and copyright

I'm not sure that the album cover images should be added to this article. The way that I understand fair use (at least as it applies in the United States) is that an album cover image may be used in an article about the album itself (e.g., in a critical review, or a Wikipedia article specifically about the album in question). Of course, this is not the only article where this has happened. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 20:08, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

Well, the album cover images were in a section that listed and described, in terms of release date, chart position, and number sold, the albums. Thus that section is about the albums. If the section were split up into separate articles one for each album, why would that suddenly make the use fair? Doesn't seem like a meaningful distinction. (I thought the main fair use restriction on album covers was that they be low resolution images, so that someone can't made their own CD covers out of them.)

Actually there may as well be an article for each album - there are lots of Wikipedia articles about individual albums (I've worked on a few myself). This would be fair use because the article is specifically about that particular album. There is also a usabilty issue: when someone clicks on one of those album covers, they are brought to an "Image:" page, not to an article about the album, which could be confusing (and/or annoying). There's a longer discussion at Wikipedia talk:Fair use if you or anyone else is interested. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 00:14, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

P.S. For what it's worth, according to the article's history I am not the first to make such a removal. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 00:17, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for the explanation. I tried to follow the Wikipedia talk:Fair use thread but it made my head hurt — it's a good thing I didn't go to law school like I had once planned. I'll stay away from album cover images.... Wasted Time R 00:32, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

Naw, go on ahead, there are probably plenty of albums deserving their own articles, and each of them could use a cover image. I'm not a lawyer either but I know we would be OK with that very specific usage. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 02:20, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Style and impartiality?

I think the "neutrality" boilerplate should be added to this article. I don't get the feeling it's written from a neutral standpoint. --Kamagurka 16:30, 30 July 2006 (UTC) and shes gots cakes(booty)

[edit] Beef with female rappers

She recently 8/2/06 came out with a diss song towards khia (type it in seach to see who she is) with who the bieng queen of the south and also with gillie da kid.
