[edit] Article Name

Mario publishes all his songs under the name "Mario". This article should be moved to Mario (singer), in keeping with the Wikipedia:Naming conventions (common names). For precedence, see Madonna (entertainer), Jewel (singer), Jem (singer), Dido (singer), Bill Clinton, Eminem, etc. --DropDeadGorgias (talk) 19:13, August 17, 2005 (UTC)

...but what happens when some other guy named Mario decides to carry a tune? --FuriousFreddy 19:40, 17 August 2005 (UTC)
I highly doubt that another singer would try to publish songs under the name "Mario", for the same reason that no one has tried to publish as "Madonna", "Jewel", etc. As this Mario has established a trademark by publishing under his first name, he would have grounds to sue them. In either case, that hasn't been an issue yet; if we had to, we could burn that bridge when we came to it. --DropDeadGorgias (talk) 20:10, August 17, 2005 (UTC)
I was joking (lol). I agree with the move. --FuriousFreddy 22:02, 17 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Mario

mmmmkay I certainly don't agree cuz there is also a Mario Winans who is a singer as well who I, myself, got mixed up with Mario Barret. I didn't even know that they were different people. You know the one who did that song with diddy in 2004 called "I don't wanna know"

[edit] Mario page (how it should change)

Italic textHey, My name Is Martrina but family and friends call me Trina. I think dat Mario should'n tell everyone his personal life well...not every details I'm a BIG fan and I don't want to hear stuff going bad about him I think yall should do his hole page over and take sum details out it would be nice if yall put pics of him all over showing how far he came I think yall should write me back because I can tell yall wat I really think because I know that yall wouldn't read this I know over a millon people (girls) write saying that they want to talk about the page but I'm not like that I wants whats gud for MARIO well, by see yall later !!!!!!!!!!1



                   LOVE,Trina

[edit] Chris Rock

Is Mario related to comedian Chris Rock ?

[edit] italian name

I don't believe he's part italian, but it could be possible...

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Mariogo.jpg

Image:Mariogo.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Just wondering...

Sorry, but I'm just wondering what all that stuff at the top of the page is. Thanks... Blackleopard11 21:02, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

It looked like a mess, didn't it? Anyway I've reverted it to its better-looking version. Soulrefrain (Talk) 01:45, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Knightwritaz and 'notes'

the Knightwritaz section has a mistake. it says: The production team includes with Mario, Sterling Simms.

wtf does that mean?!?! i tried to look at the reference/note, but i can't see mention of this simms guy, and the article said Nightriders, not Knightwritaz.

also, one of the other links in the notes section no longer works. are these not checked and updated?

or does it not matter, as long as it's a reference? i see many articles here that don't cite references, but at least they don't cite non working references...

i would correct, but funnily enough, i came here to find the info! 77.101.18.129 20:44, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Knightwritaz Section Edit

I removed the statement "You can imagine how many different concepts and things I had," the 21-year-old explains. "But there's really even more than that, because I'm gonna start recording, like, [at] the end of January." from the Knightwritaz section because it was already mentioned in the TBA (2008) section of the article.
