Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format. —KuyaBriBri^Talk 21:30, 13 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, not totally sure what happened to the actual body of the edit request, I've never dealt with write protected pages before, so, sorry about that. I essentially was trying to fix the [citation needed] at the end of the Singles subheading, including the YouTube link to the song's release as well as the official announcement of it on Twitter.

I also included the text on the homepage as an actual first party source of the album name, as there isn't any source in the list that officially confirmed the title. I wasn't sure how to fit that into the *change X to Y* format, though. Thanks!

Techkid6 (talk) 23:36, 14 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, just say "add X before/after Y" or "fix X citation at Y location" and feel free to reopen the edit request when you do so. —KuyaBriBri^Talk 15:39, 15 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hip-Hop

I think it's safe to say this album is going to be some type of hip-hop, right? Souljia 1991 (talk) 02:34, 14 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

We can't be exactly sure. That's why genres are not added to the info box until the album is released and has sources to support it. But we can't add hip hop just because we think it's safe to say it will be that genre. Wikipedia is not a crystal ball! Bowling is life (talk) 00:47, 16 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Crystal ball

Technically, there's currently no definitive official proof that the album will be called Revival. We should rename this to "Untitled Eminem album" because "Revival" is a prediction at this point. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.205.192.103 (talk) 12:59, 17 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

We can be reasonably assured that the album is titled Revival. If nothing else multiple reliable sources refer to the album as "Revival". --Deathawk (talk) 08:42, 25 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Move to draft

Move this to draft until the album comes out. This article is full of speculation and hardly anything is confirmed. Not good enough. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.106.20.207 (talk) 15:59, 22 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 28 November 2017

The result of the move request was: WP:SNOW doesn't seem any point keeping this open (non-admin closure) the RM was only edit by IP In ictu oculi (talk) 14:36, 29 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Revival (Eminem album) → Draft:Eminem's ninth studio album – Nothing in this article is confirmed, not even the name. Move to draft until it comes out. 31.106.160.181 (talk) 16:01, 28 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Dr. Dre posted a video on Twitter today, announcing the album's release date. Therefore, the album and information in the page is correct along with the sources. Maintaining (talk) 22:06, 28 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Exactly. The name was confirmed so that discussion is pointless right now. Tashi _{Talk to me} 22:07, 28 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose – the album's name and release date has been confirmed. Even without these, the album itself was still notable enough to warrant its own article. – PhilipTerryGraham (talk · contribs · count) 22:30, 28 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Oppose: Per WP:Fringe There seems to be a small subset of Eminem fans who believe that the album was either, delayed or scrapped, based upon it missing an unconfirmed release date. This does not gel with reliable sources. Furthermore the album has a release date now. proving that those are false. --Deathawk (talk) 23:11, 28 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Strong oppose and snow close: Release date and name are now confirmed. Sock (~~tock~~ talk) 01:41, 29 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

"Untouchable"

Is Untouchable an actual single or a promotional single? All of the sources I have found don't say. Bowling is life (talk) 22:17, 10 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Collaboration with 2chainz

Why is that song not on the album Lance Brown (talk) 05:59, 15 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Lance Brown: He was going to feature on "Chloraseptic" with PHresher, but his verse was cut. All here, Theo (edits) 07:29, 29 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

'Untouchable' should be added as a single. It was the second single that was released for the album, Walk On Water being the first one. MauriceMV (talk) 16:52, 17 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@MauriceMV:

Not done. Needs a source. See WP:RS. CityOfSilver 17:10, 17 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@CityOfSilver: They mention that its a single in an article on the site, located here: http://www.eminem.com/news/new-single-and-revival-pre-order

Still not going to work. Again, please read WP:RS and also have a look at WP:PRIMARY. We need verification from a third-party media outlet, like MTV News or something like that. 17:47, 18 December 2017 (UTC)

@CityOfSilver: Here is one for Untouchable: http://www.nme.com/news/music/listen-untouchable-new-single-eminem-2169647 and here is one for River: http://www.nme.com/news/music/ed-sheeran-eminem-wham-race-christmas-number-one-2175557 Only seems fair to add them back now.

That one for "River" isn't for "River". It's for Ed Sheeran's "Perfect". Anarchyte (work | talk) 08:16, 19 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Anarchyte: Here are a few for River: 1, 2. And I also shared a link for Untouchable. If needed I can provide more links for both. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MauriceMV (talk • contribs)

"River" as a single

How can "River" be a single when it was released with the rest of the album? We've got one source saying there was an "indication" it could be a single but there's no confirmation. Should we remove this claim from the article? Anarchyte (work | talk) 02:37, 18 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Anarchyte: You're right that the source deliberately doesn't state this for a fact. Since it says this can't be verified until next year, I don't see a major issue with removing it as opposed to keeping unconfirmed speculation around for 2+ weeks. CityOfSilver 17:51, 18 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Someone else has already removed it. Anarchyte (work | talk) 08:15, 19 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

they said Eminem worked by duo group Grey but he works with Skylar Grey

Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format. shivam (t) 18:28, 26 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Word removal

The sentence:

'Revival debuted at number one in the UK, becoming the Christmas number-one album for 2017 there.[6]'

Should have the final 'there' removed since this is poor English and is not required.

"Chloraseptic (Remix)" as single

Discogs calls "Chloraseptic (Remix)" a single, not a promotional single. Where is it called a promo single if anyone knows? If it's the third single, an article should be created. Theo (contribs) 11:49, 3 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Random thought

So I noticed that a while ago Selena Gomez was being interviewed about her most recent album "Revival" and she was asked if she could ever choose to collaborate with someone...who would it be?And she answered,"It would be Eminem..."I know this is really random but do you guys think it's a coincidence that Eminem released an album called Revival a few months later? FYI bookgirl (talk) 10:41, 2 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Super neat trivia. Thanks. Vaxine19 (talk) 20:36, 28 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Framed single article

Framed is fourth single so someone needs to make page for it!!! Rainerpasca (talk) 22:18, 5 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
