# Talk:Buddha (album)

Buddha Promo is an unverifiable demo and isn't even an album. --Perfecto  05:46, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
How can the the "Voyeur" off the Buddha Promo be an early version of the Dude Ranch, yet have nothing to do with the Dude Ranch version? Trimp 05:16, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
The cover for buddha promo is not real, because first of all it was a promo for the re-release therefore it has the green buddha. also you can tell that they took the letter "b" from buddha and flipped it upside down to look like a p.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.20.87.182 (talk) 04:05, 13 April 2009 (UTC) 
Is the Buddha Promo even real? I have never seen an actual picture of the physical copy? Could it possibly just be collection of studio outtakes that someone put together online and gave it the name Buddha Promo? 123.100.61.101 (talk) 06:28, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
The section on the Buddha Promo needs to be deleted as it is a non-existant album.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Weluvjezza (talk • contribs) 08:17, 31 December 2009 (UTC) 

Image:Blink182Buddha.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

I'll review this article shortly. Wizardman 04:03, 1 February 2014 (UTC)
Here are the issues I found:

"After Mark Hoppus graduated high school" graduated from high school (I actually had to double check to see if i was wrong on that, but the from addition is more grammatically correct)
While the background is interesting, I feel like parts of it border on tangential. The skate park injury is one example of stuff where I don't really see how it contributes to the article. Fine-tuning this section may be beneficial.
"The band's main influence on Buddha, according to DeLonge, was the Descendents. "I was trying to emulate that band. Really punchy guitars, fast, simple and formulaic nursery rhyme love songs," said DeLonge in 2012.[16]" DeLonge probably doesn't have to be noted twice; if he's noted right before the quote he'd be implied for the quote itself.
"which was a present from Hoppus' stepfather that he grabbed it on the way to Raynor's " that he grabbed on the...; also, who grabbed it? sounds like the stepfather did, not sure if that was the case.
"Blink-182 would allow Escalante's label, Kung Fu, re-release Buddha on compact disc." to re-release
Any follow-up on the legal situation, since what's in the article ends in 2001?
Given the subject matter the answer is probably a given, but why nothing on reception? I would imagine it was looked at after the band became big, and even a retroactive look at it by a reviewer or two would help the article out.
I'll put the article on hold and will pass when the issues are fixed. Wizardman 01:09, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
All the fixes made to the article look good, so I will now pass the article as a GA. Wizardman 03:54, 7 February 2014 (UTC)

How did an album released in 1994 enable Blink 182 to sign to cargo records the year before in 1993?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 164.39.7.250 (talk) 10:35, 23 May 2017 (UTC) 

Mark has announced that blink's newest album will be titled "NINE". This is because he and Travis consider Buddha to be a studio album. So if Mark and Travis consider Buddha to be a studio album, I think that Wikipedia should consider Buddha to be a studio album.Source: [1]RugratsFan2003 (talk) 05:44, 27 July 2019 (UTC)

Since you made this same comment at Talk:Nine (Blink-182 album)#Buddha Is a Studio Album and conversation has developed there, best to direct interested parties to that thread in order to keep the conversation in one place. --IllaZilla (talk) 19:10, 29 September 2019 (UTC)
