message: Was My Boo Sampled? If So What Was It Sampled From? It Definetly Sounds Sampled To Moi.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.186.229.37 (talk) 03:13, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  My Boo Sample? 

message: I admit, I put this bit in many, many versions ago as a joke.  There is no way Usher, for all his sophistication, knows shit about St. Augustine...so if it's true, that's cool, but i doubt it, so could someone remove that or fact check it?  xoxo

thread_title:  Confessions Album Sales 

message: I think a lot of notable information should be added to the lead section. Looking at I Am Sasha Fierce which is way longer but not nearly as successful I do not believe its a very big deal. And could be required.Lilian Diane Moore (talk) 19:59, 13 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: The lead is fine per the WP:LEAD standards, and it was this way when it was reviewed as a GA. Wikipedia is not for fancruft. And don't use I Am...Sasha Fierce as an example. It is not a high quality article and is not a GA, unlike Confessions is. Confessions is the better article, it is a GA. If anything, the SF article should look like this.

thread_title:  Lead Section 

message: I've protected the page so that the discussion that's just beginning above doesn't fall apart by someone reverting before they see it. Hopefully you can agree a position in the next 3 days. GedUK  20:52, 13 October 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Protection 

message: Please revert this series of six edits, primarily by 72.178.94.184, which changed all of the chart peaks to number 1 (contrary to sources), pasted in the certs table from a Beyoncé article, and then monkeyed with some but not all of the refs. This reversion would have the effect of losing the non-bogus addition of a Diamond certification in the US (added by Lilian Diane Moore), but the RIAA ref currently shown doesn't support that anyway. After the dust has settled and the page is unprotected, we can add appropriate actual certs including | United States || Diamond"RIAA - Gold & Platinum: Diamond Awards". Recording Industry Association of America. Retrieved 2010-10-13.
This request has nothing, AFAICT, to do with the Lead Section disputes which led to the page's protection. — JohnFromPinckney (talk) 21:41, 13 October 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Edit request by JohnFromPinckney: Revert Chart peaks and Certs corruption 

message: Can u salvage the information that was removed w/out explanation in this edit? In embelishing about the album's commercial success, the editor removed sourced material from the lead (suspect to WP:NPOV).

replies: text: Are you talking about As a strategy to boost its sales amid threats of bootlegging, a special edition was issued with the hit single "My Boo".? As this seems to be contentious, would you mind discussing and getting a consensus about whether this sentence is appropriate? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 14:08, 15 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text:  Its in the body of the article, was removed from the lead by amateurish users without nuetral POV, and was part of the lead in the article when it was peer-reviewed for GA assessment. Dan56 (talk) 19:56, 15 October 2010 (UTC)
