Not done: If the image isn't uploaded under a CC-BY-SA (or similar) license then it can't be uploaded so unless someone uploads a free-to-use image than the current image will have to stay as it is. –Davey2010^Talk 16:05, 11 September 2016 (UTC)

glaring omission pointed out

There is no discussion in the article of the outcome of the 2008 misdemeanor charges. Was he convicted? Sentenced?96.82.3.60 (talk) 09:55, 15 September 2016 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 21 November 2016

Please change 'presidential candidate and businessman Donald Trump' to 'president-elect' because of recent election results. Pfederation (talk) 06:22, 21 November 2016 (UTC)

Done -- Dane2007 ^talk 05:20, 23 November 2016 (UTC)

psychiatric emergency Nov 2016

No mention of his dr calling 911 and paramedics taking him to hospital due to 'psychosis'? maybe I missed it? Beaglemix (talk) 17:41, 23 November 2016 (UTC)

@Beaglemix: Under Kanye West#2016–present: ''The Life of Pablo'' and ''Turbo Grafx 16'', there's this: "He was later admitted for psychiatric observation at UCLA Medical Center." There's already a citation for your suggested change that follows that sentence. If you want to put in the additional information, please be bold! Peaceray (talk) 18:05, 23 November 2016 (UTC)

2020 election

"He goes around saying 'Trump is my all-time hero,'" the Republican candidate said of West. "He says it to everybody. So, Kanye West, I love him."

Trump added that he might rescind his admiration for West if the 21-time Grammy winner follows through on his presidential ambitions.

"Now, maybe in a few years I will have to run against him, I don't know. So I'll take that back," he said.

Part of a video/NBC article of Trump talking about Kanye.[1] He's liked him since at least September 2015. This could be used as a reference in the future. Emily Goldstein (talk) 00:02, 25 November 2016 (UTC)

Much better. Thank you. Callmemirela 🍁 {Talk} ♑ 01:06, 25 November 2016 (UTC)

Can we remove the part about Kanye's Concerts being covered by his insurance?

Think about this for a second. Imagine 100 years from now, someone reads this Wikipedia article. Do you really think anybody's going to care that an insurance policy covered the cancellation of 21 concerts? How in any way does that kind of information have any long standing relevance? You wouldn't say, "Kanye West broke his arm and luckily his insurance covered it". It's non pertinent information. It simply doesn't matter in a Wikipedia article. This is basically gossip that got confirmed and now it's suddenly extremely important information worthy of being posted on Wikipedia? I can't imagine why somebody felt the need to post that. Yes, it's probably very reassuring that 21 concerts got covered, but ask yourself, is it really necessary to put in a Wikipedia article? The answer is no, it's not. It's garbage information and should removed for the sake of toning down the irrelevant, unimportant BS. Bunch of kids must be keeping this Wikipedia page up to date.

Hiding of information in Mental illness section.

I hid this:

In April 2015, Malik Yusef, a man who worked closely with Kanye West, reported, "He doesn't take his medication because he chooses not to, and I applaud him for that," and when asked what medication he was referring to he replied "Whatever they prescribe you for like bipolar or schizophrenia or whatever they diagnosed him as."

This is contentious information that is unsourced. As per WP:BLP, "Contentious material about living persons (or, in some cases, recently deceased) that is unsourced or poorly sourced – whether the material is negative, positive, neutral, or just questionable – should be removed immediately and without waiting for discussion." Once a reliable source is added to this information, feel free to un-hide it.  {MordeKyle}  ☢ 21:28, 25 November 2016 (UTC)

It is apparent he is suffering form the fact that Kim was sexually assaulted during the Paris robbery. Cut the man some slack
