Ready

Wow, Thanks SO MUCH for the expansion on the production and development on Ready. For my next article I will make sure to include/arrange this info in that fashion, so afterhand it won't need to be done. Candyo32 18:15, 5 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

So what about the section in Goodies (album)? Is it sufficient? I tended to focus on the production for the on the initially titled "background" section anyway since it was such a lack of general information about Ciara's discovery and the album development.

DYK for Sophia Fresh

On 4 October 2010, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Sophia Fresh, which you created or substantially expanded. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check ) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

-== Adrianna ==
-Hey again, Cornucopia. Are you planning on adding any additional sources for the [[Adrianna Tate-Duncan]] article? Unless someone does, I agree with Jayy008 that it should likely be redirected, as it doesn't demonstrate significant notability with only one source (the articles for some other TV characters have over 20). -- [[User:James26|James26]] ([[User talk:James26|talk]]) 18:17, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
-:Nice job on the expansion. As for Naomi, as soon as that article gets reviewed, I'm planning on going into semi-retirement like you. ;) It's been fun, but time to move on. Again, good efforts. -- [[User:James26|James26]] ([[User talk:James26|talk]]) 06:35, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

-== Headers ==
-"Production" and "recording" seem to be used interchangebly on album articles, since they seem to signify the same thing; articles like [[Music Recording]] and [[Record producer]] ("the recording (i.e. "production")") seem to bring this to light. Also, mastering is part of post-production, so technically it wouldnt fit into "production", but its a minor detail in the article. Articles that do use various headers with "Recording", "production", "development" and "conception", like all those Michael Jackson ones ([[Invincible (Michael Jackson album)|Invicable]], [[Thriller (album)]], [[Off the Wall (album)]]), Pearl Jam album articles, Madonna album articles, and so on. But since the terms suggest in most cases the same thing, with the exception of "Conception" (which might better be interchangable with "Background" in some cases), it seems like a style issue. Since the information on "Recording" and "Record label" (which deals more with Background on Big Boi and his issues with the label over the album's material while the album was not finished yet) seem to be at the same time, its fitting that they be included under the same section. I changed "Conception" with "Background" as the major header, since its a more general term that suits the 3 subsections. I hope that makes more sense. I appreciate your advice. [[User:Dan56|Dan56]] ([[User talk:Dan56|talk]]) 12:45, 21 August 2010 (UTC)
-:: That would be one album article example. Now since this one is nominated for GA, if there is something wrong in any aspect of the article, then it will be dealt with in the process. But a style matter? Like u said, "The word conception itself is about how the album began, its very origin and its inspiration", which is what the first subsection deals with. I've considered your suggestion and appreciate the insight on what "Conception" actually suggests, but this seems like a style matter. On the Invicable album article, which u changed the header "conception", the title wasnt disputed in the article's [[Talk:Invincible_(Michael_Jackson_album)/GA1|GA review]], so it seems appropriate to leave it as "conception" until making some sort of consensus at the talk page, sort of like I did at [[Talk:No_Line_on_the_Horizon#Reception_edit|Talk:No Line on the Horizon]] for that article's change in content. [[User:Dan56|Dan56]] ([[User talk:Dan56|talk]]) 13:05, 21 August 2010 (UTC)
-::: I wouldnt say "any ordinary editor", but the reviewers for the Invincible article (did u check it out?) seemed to be thorough. But I reverted your edit to that article, since its more appropriate to reach a consensus first, with it being like that when it was passed as GA. Also, the "Production" section u seperated contains some statements not dealing with production. Being "consistent" with other MJ album articles isnt accurate, since those other articles that passed GA or FA were reviewed by different editors. It should be easy to get a consensus for this, but it still should be got first. [[User:Dan56|Dan56]] ([[User talk:Dan56|talk]]) 13:28, 21 August 2010 (UTC)
-:::: That's all good. But it cant hurt to inform the reviewers from the [[Talk:Invincible_(Michael_Jackson_album)/GA1|GA process]] that he/she might have overlooked the aspect, for future reference and understanding in editing articles. [[User:Dan56|Dan56]] ([[User talk:Dan56|talk]]) 14:10, 21 August 2010 (UTC)
-: I appreciate your response the matter with "Music" heading and I left a response. As for the "background", I see how "Recording" would be deserving of its own section, but its kind of hard to incorrectly use "Background" as a heading. It just seems like a general term that cover info about a topic's circumstances, in this case an album prior to its actualization''?''/release. This album's circumstances concern the "record label" content and the "conception", Big Boi's hiatus from OutKast with their idea to make solo albums and the title's significance to Big Boi at the time. Just minimal content about the album's circumstances that fits better as "Background" info than its own section. [[User:Dan56|Dan56]] ([[User talk:Dan56|talk]]) 12:07, 24 August 2010 (UTC)
-:: For an album to exist, it has to be completed, produced. Most of the label content was before the album was completely finished. [[User:Dan56|Dan56]] ([[User talk:Dan56|talk]]) 12:18, 24 August 2010 (UTC)
-::: A baby in the womb? A [[fetus]]. A [[Infant|baby]] is what the fetus becomes when its born. [[User:Dan56|Dan56]] ([[User talk:Dan56|talk]]) 12:32, 24 August 2010 (UTC)
-::::  Back to the album, I wasnt saying it has to be released. An album is "A group of audio recordings, on any medium, intended for distribution as a group" [http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/album 1]. How can it be "as a group" if all of its material is not produced yet? [[User:Dan56|Dan56]] ([[User talk:Dan56|talk]]) 12:37, 24 August 2010 (UTC)
-::::: I wasnt making "a friendly joke" or "being condescending". I do value your suggestions. U helped me understand how the "Recording" part warrants its own section, but you brought up the contrast with the "baby", so I responded with another contrast. That its not really a baby if its not born yet, like its not really an album if its not produced, that is all of its songs atleast are not completed and intended for distribution as a group or collection. [[User:Dan56|Dan56]] ([[User talk:Dan56|talk]]) 12:46, 24 August 2010 (UTC)
-:::::: If its in its early stages of development, then its not developed yet. Its still in development as a project. If an album is "A group of audio recordings, on any medium, intended for distribution as a group", and, in the case of Sir Lucious Left Foot, all the material/songs that proved to be the resulting album had not yet been produced, then it doesnt seem to be an album. Perhaps a project, still in development. [[User:Dan56|Dan56]] ([[User talk:Dan56|talk]]) 13:15, 24 August 2010 (UTC)
-::::::: That's a good point, but that's using a general definition. The album did not come into existence as soon as the final product was created. That's like saying the album did not exist until the final track was recorded. I think I'll take this to WP:ALBUM to get some more opinion on the matter.
