Good Reference Here[edit]

There was an interview with Thatgrapejuice as all you Monica fans may know, I just think it has so much info on the album and her views and history on the prject, that the information should be added as it will add more depth to the article if we add a lot more background and production info.

Nope. TJG is a blog. Blogs and fansites are not allowed on w'pedia.Lil-unique1 (talk) 05:30, 2 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Go contest at reliable sources board. Exclusive interviews are the expception.RAIN the ONE (Talk) 12:47, 13 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Actually since your wanting to add it to the article and its not normal to do so you should be the one seeking permission to use it. It doesnt make sense for me to seek permission for it not to be used when that is current policy.Lil-unique1 (talk) 14:58, 13 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I know its not conventional[edit]

I know its now conventional but because we have almost comprehensive information on the album's sales do you think we could include the following? One the album drops out of top 50 this further info would not be available to us. Of course i would understand completely if people felt this was unappropriate.Lil-unique1 (talk) 02:24, 4 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Seems alright if its sourced. But the prose could suffice as well; on appearance, it may take up or interfere with space with the ratings template, but that could be managed in alligning it to the left. Another idea would be to include it in the charts section, as the chart positions table is not included in the reception sec. but instead in the non-prose charts sec.

Its up to you. I dont mind either way. I'm happy to keep manually archiving the information from Hits Daily Double as long as they keep providing it. And im happy to carry on adding the prose. Lil-unique1 (talk) 02:04, 7 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It seems like a matter of at what point it becomes trivial. This album can keep selling and there be sources available to track sales, but once the sales become too insignificant to track, then thats where the article's info on it should end. However, I dont know what the convention is on Wikipedia and dont know how to decide at what point tracking its sales should end. Like u, I dont mind either way. Ill ask at the albums project talk page about this proposal. Dan56 (talk) 02:10, 7 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. This is type of table is strongly discouraged, as seen at WP:CHARTS#Chart trajectories. — ξ ^xplicit 02:18, 7 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Credits/Personnel[edit]

This album cannot be given a B-rating until full information on credits and personnel is found. Can someone who has actually boguth the album retrieve the details from the album notes/booklet and post it here?

The type of information we need is: managers, A&R people, producers, mixers, engineers etc. Examples of the kind of information we want can be found at Shock Value 2#Personnel, Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel#Personnel, Sweet 7#Personnel or even Echo (Leona Lewis album)#Personnel (though the last is missing managerial information.
