The White Mandingos[edit]
... that The White Mandingos' Sacha Jenkins praised Wikipedia, saying it was "a lot of nice people coming together sharing information – no one's making money"?

- Comment: Although I've put "expanded", the article looked like this before I got hold of it, and only the article's title and one source survived.
Created by Drsenorb, 5x expanded by Ritchie333 (talk). Self nominated at 11:46, 14 August 2013 (UTC).
Date, size, hook, neutrality, notability, all seems fine. Perhaps we could find a different hook... but why not mention ourselves once in a while. Shame we don't have a picture, but oh well. GTG. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 03:31, 15 August 2013 (UTC)

- ALT1: ... that The White Mandingos' first album, The Ghetto Is Tryna Kill Me, is a concept album influenced by The Who's Tommy?
New review needed to verify my hook suggestion. --Orlady (talk) 03:13, 18 August 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks, Orlady. The original hook also strikes me as problematic (and self-congratulatory); I've struck it. ALT1 facts are in the article, and confirmed in the cited sources. BlueMoonset (talk) 04:04, 18 August 2013 (UTC)
