[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Elektric Blue Cover.jpg

Image:Elektric Blue Cover.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 Wikipedia articles 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 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.BetacommandBot 04:59, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Unreleased "albums" and unsourced chart positons

Chart positions need sources. I have tagged them appropriately.

Unreleased albums, mixtapes, etc. do not belong in discographies.

Albums (etc.) that have not charted do NOT have chart positions that are "TBA". TBA means "To Be Announced", which implies the information simply is not available yet, which is not the case.

[edit] Discography

Unreleased albums do belong in the disco page as well as mixtapes and eps. other pages has these as well so stop removing them, that go for the templates as well. Infostorm (talk) 22:54, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Finally one of your user names is talking!

Here is my position:

I am requesting sources for chart positions. Per policy, "The burden of evidence lies with the editor who adds or restores material. All quotations and any material challenged or likely to be challenged should be attributed to a reliable, published source using an inline citation....Any edit lacking a reliable source may be removed..."
As there are an unknown and unknowable number of mixtapes, unreleased albums, promotional releases and bootlegs for any given artist, I maintain that discographies should be limited to officially released albums, EPs and singles, with side notes for demonstratably notable other material. Per notability guidelines, "Demos, mixtapes, bootlegs and promo-only records are in general not notable".

I await substantial discussion on this issue. Should no such discussion occur, I will remove the material again in several days.

Unreleased Albums, Mixtapes, and EPs, do belong on the discography page because it's still an album. None of that stuff on the page is false info. all of it is correct and belongs there. leave it alone. Besides from the references, it sounds like the artist will be releasing the unreleased albums sometime this year. Infostorm (talk) 00:23, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

As I said above, I am requesting sources for chart positions. Per policy, "Any edit lacking a reliable source may be removed..."

Also, as I said, there are an unknown and unknowable number of mixtapes, unreleased albums, promotional releases and bootlegs for any given artist, I maintain that discographies should be limited to officially released albums, EPs and singles, with side notes for demonstratably notable other material. Per notability guidelines, "Demos, mixtapes, bootlegs and promo-only records are in general not notable".

The material you repeatedly add is not verifiable in reliable sources. I am letting this go until your sock case is worked out, then I will press this issue.

[edit] Studio Albums and EPs

What is currently on that page should stay there. And mixtapes do belong just take a look at this page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Soccermeko (talk • contribs) 19:11, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

{{editprotected}} please put back the information of at least add this

Stand Up reaching chart positions now. Soccermeko (talk) 22:56, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Dispute

I figure posting here may get he quickest response from those involved OTRS ticket #2008030610000094 refers to several editors that have been reverting the socks. The ticket claims the reversions are reverting back to incorrect information. Can someone summarize what is wrong with the edits? John Reaves 00:23, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi John. Basically, User:Soccermeko and socks/IPs have been repeatedly adding unsourced sales figures, chart positions, non-notable info and unverifiable rumours to this and other article related to Nicole Wray. When challenged, he/she justifies the edits with comments that boil down to 'I'm right!' and refuses to discuss things to a further extent or provide sources. --Kurt Shaped Box (talk) 00:32, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Having checked the only easily checkable thing, they make the incorrect claim that the album "make it hot" was certified gold, while it was the single of the same name that was so certified. (The same claim is made on the Nicole Wray article, I'll correct it soon). You can find it by looking for "maki ti hot" on the RIAA website, wher eit is credited to "Nicole"[1]. I have no idea if the rest of their info is correct or not, I just know that they annoyingly kept on reverting at the Template:Nicole Wray page as well. Fram (talk) 09:13, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Proof of singles

No, but you realize is that the album also was gold. but you don't need to worry about that, you need to worry about yourself because the head admin soon to come down on you for erasing the right information and if it wasn't a single why do links show a cd single. this are the single links. and don't even say that it's a false music site.
