Lead edits[edit]

79.97.92.28's edits to the lead ([1]) were uncalled for and unconstructive; the recent arguement of his/her that its about "economy of language" is not a strong one; how minimal should it be? Should the article's lead even mention that it is a remix album? How about just "We're New Here is an album"? Economic enough?) This style of leading in an album article is practically conventional, and the direct crediting of the artists, Smith and Scott-Heron, is sourced in the article, directly regarding billing of the artists. Every albums article is this way for a reason. There was no reason to change it, and it is silly to have to bring something like this up for discussion.

Don't be so precious. WP:OWN. 79.97.92.28 (talk) 13:22, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm new here is an album by gil scott-heron. We're new here is a remix of I'm new here, which was performed by jamie xx. It is not a remix album by gil scott-heron and jamie xx, as scott-heron was not involved in the remixing. What is the problem here? 79.97.92.28 (talk) 17:07, 26 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It is cited in the article's body; both were credited. Dan56 (talk) 17:38, 26 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

And do not make the change without consensus here first. Dan56 (talk) 17:39, 26 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure if first bullet point is needed

I fixed up most of the things you addressed, but have only a couple of questions. "Reference 34" cites the album's official website for information about its release formats, so for that it should be reliable. Also, according to WP:External links, the standard for linking is to list them with a bullet, so why shouldn't the first one be needed? Dan56 (talk) 21:23, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I did not see the official website at the bottom of the page in Reference 34. When talking about the first bullet point, I was referring to making it more specific than "Official website". Instead, try "We're New Here official website". - Rp0211 ^(talk2me) 22:36, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I renamed the link "Official album website". Dan56 (talk) 00:52, 29 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Since all of the issues have been addressed, I feel confident passing this article now. Congratulations and keep up the good work! - Rp0211 ^(talk2me) 03:15, 29 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Overall review[edit]

After thoroughly reviewing this article, I have decided to put the article on hold at this time. There are only a few minor issues listed above that are keeping the article from reaching GA status. Once these issues have been fixed, I will feel confident to put this article in good article status. I will give you the general seven days to fix the mistakes and/or debate the items you believe do not affect GA status.- Rp0211 ^(talk2me) 20:32, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
