I see you keep on reverting or changing back the style for the musician template on G-Unit etc.. The proper format for the band template are from Template:Navbox_musical_artist. This is the standard for the template. Please stop reverting it back to the old format that isn't used anymore. Thank you. --Shadyaftrmathgunit21:41, 22 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I see you're using AWB to subst your signature template. That's good. But you're also making a number of unrelated changes that are inappropriate. I had to manually fix these on my talk page. There are a large number of them here. Fixing these manually is too tedious, so I'm going to revert this change and any like it that I see. Please configure AWB to not make such unrelated changes, and redo the substing. --PEJL20:36, 12 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I have partially reverted this AWB edit you made, as it seems extremely unlikely that the German digraph "pf" has anything to do with the abbreviation for picofarads. Anomie03:28, 1 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well, that's what the G-Unit Records WikiProject is for. Assemble your troops (LOL), and I'll try to work on it, most (if not all) the hip-hop editors we know should work on it. That's the G-Unit album that ALL hip-hop fans enjoyed (to some extent, at least). Well, at least the ones that don't hate this new-school commercial stuff. It's the most important G-Unit (and G-Unit Records, it's not like Mobb Deep and Lil' Scrappy released extraordinary albums) release. Reception could be very long, sales also, it has potential to be a GA. Again, look at Curtis, you gotta admit that it ain't that good compared to GRODT, and yet it still got this far. --- Who's the one you call Mr. Macho?

Yeah, that's true. Anyway, I'll be back in about two hours. We can talk some more about this then. Although, we should just get to work LOL. To be honest, if there are enough people working on this, it might even be an FA one day. I would be willing to work on it, especially since it's an album that I enjoy (more than Curtis, sorry some of the stuff there I just wasn't feelin'). --- Who's the one you call Mr. Macho?

Def Jam comment
I don't want to remove it just yet, but don't you think the quote about 50 Cent going to war with Def Jam should go in the 50 Cent article, or something? I mean, that quote doesn't have that much to do anymore with the competition, he says he will go to war with Def Jam, nothing about Kanye West or Graduation. Also, we might need to wait until he confirms it again, like with him retiring, hold on, he just dispelled his comments! Or with him not releasing another album after the "greatest hits" compilation, people add it in the Before I Self Destruct article all the time, and it shouldn't be there, there isn't enough confirmation for it, it's not clear what he wants to do. That Def Jam comment really is a bit too unrelated to the Curtis page. If you don't think so, then OK, I will not remove it. --- Who's the one you call Mr. Macho? The head honcho, swift fist like Camacho19:20, 4 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Nevermind, actually. I changed the wording a bit. It just needed to mention Def Jam, because the previous version did not mention him going to war with Def Jam, so it might've left the reader with a question like, "WHO will 50 Cent go to war with?" Yeah, after they check the source, they get it, but it should also be mentioned in the article. --- Who's the one you call Mr. Macho? The head honcho, swift fist like Camacho19:38, 4 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
[2] What is that "sortable" thing supposed to do? WP:CHARTS says "the table should be formatted using class="wikitable"." It doesn't say anything about that "sortable", is it allowed? Maybe we should ask them? Also, about that other comment, about references being where the chart position is, it used to be like that, but I only changed it because I looked at the 50 Cent discography article, and, since I heard it might even be an FA by the end of the year, I assumed that the format used by that article is the right one to use. --- Who's the one you call Mr. Macho? The head honcho, swift fist like Camacho20:04, 4 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
OK, I checked out that discussion, and noticed that the guy said the table should only have 18 entries. The table currently has 24 23 entries, so I say we just remove the lowest charting entries. The Portuguese, Finnish, Japanese, Hungarian, Belgium, and Mexican chart positions should be removed. If anyone (although no one should) ask why we removed the lowest peaks, we can say that it's much more useful for people to know the countries in which it was successful, rather the ones in which the album charted rather poorly. I'll remove it after the discussion is over. If I'm not around, remove them yourself. --- Who's the one you call Mr. Macho? The head honcho, swift fist like Camacho21:42, 4 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Yo, yea u've dun alot of good work on it G. Wot do u think shud b added now 2 try and get it 2 a GA ? i kno theres still alot 2 b dun but i wud really lik 2 c tht article @ least a GA - Keep It Real - RealComptonG17:45, 6 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Ok kool, any of ur help will b really appreciated. Maybe if we get the West Coast hip hop project goin' we cud get ppl from tht 2 help wit the article, anywayz i'll keep with it ryt now - Keep It Real - RealComptonG18:19, 6 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Yo, i've started off the page but i really need ur help with all the shit inside tha project like the userbox, template etc. cud ya holla back if u cud help me out ? - Keep It Real - RealComptonG18:21, 7 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
About Many Men. I think it was a single, wasn't it? but it is sitll pretty notable to have an article about. Anywayz about Straight Outta Compton the sales section fit better to the intro as it is only 4, 5 words saying "the album sold ... miljon". So i thought it fits better at some place that top rather than a section. and about the Songs section, see The Documentary and you will understand my idea. --West CoastRyda16:02, 8 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Yeh, but i have added things that doesent really need source. Such as the lyrics' or clean version. I can find a tracklisting for the clean version and show it wasn't included for instance. West CoastRyda16:13, 8 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
And it looks better now. I think the article will grow up to GA soon But i asked why are the first table i used failing to qualify the G.A. West CoastRyda17:35, 8 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Hey, your talkpage's background is too fucking dark. I need to mark the words so i can read them. Maybe a little lighter colour would make it better. --West CoastRyda19:33, 12 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Yo, lookin' at Str8 outta CPT, wot mo shud we do ? i mean, we've got all the sections except from "Sales * Certifications", and we cant really do tht bcoz theres not much 2 write bout except from it sold 3 mill, all thts needed iz a critical sales section, but i dont really kno how 2 write bout tht so i'll ask sum1 if they can help, unless ur gd @ tht kind of stuff then cud u do it ? all i think we can do now is expand sum parts, unless there is sumthin i missed. Wot do u think ? - Keep It Real - RealComptonG19:11, 9 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Yo, c the chart table in the article, it says 1989, but the UK and Ireland positions were during 2003/04, shud we change the table around 2 show this or sumthin ? - Keep It Real - RealComptonG18:44, 10 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
So it cud go either way. Well i think it has came a long way since afew weeks ago, so hopefully it iz gd enough 2 pass. Btw do u kno how long it will take 2 receive a decision ? - Keep It Real - RealComptonG16:30, 12 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Yo, sorry 4 not gettin' bck 2 ya sooner, i've not been editin' 4 afew dayz, but tha article is takin' 4eva 2 b rated, how long does it usually take ? like with 50 cent article, i'm pretty sure it was rated quiker than this - Keep It Real - RealComptonG22:25, 18 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
How much longer do ya think it'll take ? i've started 2 work on Bow Down, if Str8 outta CPT needz mo work dun on it after its been reviewed then i'll help out wit again then. - Keep It Real - RealComptonG15:51, 19 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
On a second note, your userpage is very, very difficult to read. The dark gray makes the black text blend in a great deal. I'd make either the background or the text a lighter color. Thanks! нмŵוτнτ18:49, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, I had to take my sig from being a special font to simply Arial when the new standards for size were put into effect. However, many people still commented that mine was simply too long, so I made just changed it, haha. Good luck figuring out what to do! нмŵוτнτ17:58, 12 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, I mean, no matter how many disagreements we've had, it's nothing like that. The guy actually posted West Coast Ryda's e-mail address on my talk page just to piss him off, and posted mine, I said "please don't show it" and says some bullshit about nothing private being shown. Also, his comments that go like "I am a fan of real hip-hop, not G-Unit" are just not needed. That's his opinion. So, if someone here likes G-Unit they are not fans of real hip-hop? I don't get his thinking. Me, Real Compton G, and West Coast Ryda are all gonna try to ignore him, and everyone should try to do the same. --- Who's the one you call Mr. Macho?

That's the weird part. If it was some stupid vandal/moron none of us would be surprised by those comments, but he edits like an actual professional user, with issues about biographies and everything, but then his comments confuse you. Just don't know what to think about him, so I think ignoring him is the best thing to do. --- Who's the one you call Mr. Macho?

With the 50 Cent template, do the dots that separate the songs and albums look the same in your screen? Here's the before and after versions. On the after version, the dots look larger and darker. Also, "Follow My Lead" doesn't stay within the borders of the template. Is this the same for your browser? Spellcast16:49, 14 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
If it looks the same on your browser, it's understandable. I was on the 50 Cent discography page and I realised there was a horizontal scrollbar on my screen. At first, I thought it must've been one of the tables but then I realised it was the template. I also have IE7 (which I rarely use) yet I could still see a difference for some reason. Anyway, it's sorted out now. Spellcast07:31, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Edits to Wikipedia:Record Charts
Please do not run AWB over this page again, or other articles in its present configuration. It is improperly formatting line breaks by removing the backslash, which is improper HTML, and on this page in particular, it formatted one of the superscripted numbers as an actual superscript character, which is intentionally avoided. Are you using the default settings, or is this something you have set up yourself? If default, let me know and I'll have to speak with the creator of the program. -- HuntsterT • @ • C17:48, 14 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Cool, thanks for replying. They do the same thing, but the <br /> is more correct for modern HTML (actually XHTML) than <br>, so please don't change those in the future. Cheers -- HuntsterT • @ • C21:29, 14 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I was also wondering why <br /> was used despite looking the same as <br>. I've seen several community-approved scripts that convert to <br />.[5][6]. It seems the slash is needed for compatability with XHTML. You might also want to see this. Spellcast07:31, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The slash is needed for compatibility with XHTML, but we're not writing XHTML, we're writing the input to MediaWiki, which handles both forms the same (as well as other broken forms, such as <br\>). So either is generally fine, but if you're going to convert anything (which you should be careful with, as noted above), you should probably convert to <br />, not the other way around. --PEJL09:59, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, So it's basically to make WikiPedia compatible with programs/people who try to read the whole sites code?. I'll be sure to change my AWB settings to change all variables of <br>, <br\> etc to <br/>. --¤ The-G-Unit-฿oss ¤15:23, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Well, you generally don't need to do that, as MediaWiki does it automatically, and it shouldn't always be done (as previously noted), which is why AWB doesn't do it by default. --PEJL15:48, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I should probably say this now as I see you're using AWB to convert all <br> tags to <br />. It's probably unnecessary but if you are going to do it, I think PEJL and Huntster (and those diffs I gave) showed a space before the slash (<br />). Spellcast16:45, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I read the space before the slash isn't required but unspaced tags might not be compatible with older browsers. I know it's a very minor issue that won't have any effect, but it might as well be said. Spellcast17:18, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, from what I understand Wikipedia renders all forms of <br/> (<br>, <br /> etc) the same, however when people save an article as a HTML page for example, it will display differently. The / is added after to close it because it was never opened (I think), similar to <references/>. Anyway <br/> is the proper [[XHTML]] format. --¤ The-G-Unit-฿oss ¤19:19, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
It seems my point hasn't gotten across, so I'll repeat it. When you are writing an XHTML document, you should convert all <br...> to <br />. When you are writing a Wikipedia page, you should not generally convert all <br...> to <br />, because:
You aren't writing XHTML.
MediaWiki converts automatically when it generates an XHTML page.
Doing so unconditionally may break pages (see above).
No, no. I didn't mean it like that. I was kinda blaming myself not using consensus. I guess I was trying to be bold in categorizing the Navboxes based on something. I guess I didn't really think that that kind of shit needed a consensus, but I guess I was wrong. Sorry if you misunderstood me, and I will do my best in the future in using consensus.
