[edit] 2008, the new era

OK, 2008 is turning out to be a great year for MJ here at wikipedia. The Thriller album, Thriller 25 album and Janet Jackson have all been promoted to GA. Additionally the quality of the MJ article has improved so much it nearly, but not quite, passed FA. We have a few things that need doing over the next few months.

  • Get MJ to FA
  • Get Thriller album to FA
  • Get the Jackson 5 to GA
  • Get Janet to FA

The Jackson 5 article is a priorty right now, it used to be featured and now is no longer even GA. We have to work on this one. Realist2 ('Come Speak To Me') 18:43, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Singles

  • Most (if not all) of the Michael Jackson singles' articles on here have the same issues: trivia sections, weasel words, and little or no references. Can't we do something about this? Anthony Rupert (talk) 05:21, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
    • I have to agree, his singles are in a particularly bad shape, most people at the project pend their time in other areas, you should join the group and try to rally others to help. Unfortunately ive got so many other MJ and JJ articles to work on that I dont have the time. --— Realist2 (Come Speak To Me) 16:22, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
  • I have a problem with the way his singles' articles look too but I wonder who can make them look really good. The "Billie Jean" one indeed is one of the ones I would want definitely to be revised, lol.
    • Yes, but I think the albums are the priority, dont you? I do agree the the singles from the legendary Dangerous album are in poor shape. --— Realist2 (Come Speak To Me) 16:07, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Speaking of singles, I have done a complete Do-Over of This Time Around (Michael Jackson song). I don't really have much info, but I did add the track listings of the promos, the cover of one of them, and the official remixes. if there is any additional info U would like 2 add. feel free 2 do so. —Preceding unsigned comment added by MaJic (talkcontribs) 00:50, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] UWC

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/United World Chart - Incase you use this as a source in any of your articles, dont, it will only have to be removed at GA/FA. The source should no longer be used in any Michael Jackson article. I would actively remove it from any article you see providing this link, cheers. — Realist2 (Come Speak To Me) 18:42, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
