Damita Jo the Singer
Does this album have anything to do with Damita Jo DeBlanc the singer, who also went by "Damita Jo"? The article doesn't seem to say. Shocking Blue (talk) 13:52, 8 March 2012 (UTC)

Revert of large edit; explanation

 * It omitted large sways of content.
 * It omitted and change dates for much of the content, with no reliable sources to back up the change.
 * It omits important details about certain sections.
 * Changed 'blacklist' to 'boycott'.
 * "Due to blacklisting affecting its overall performance, the album has been considered underrated by music journalists in retrospect." compared to " Despite Jackson's airplay blacklist, "Just a Little While" notably spent five weeks at number one in Japan, and "I Want You" was certified platinum and nominated for a Grammy Award." is not acceptable.
 * Omitted all mention of the blacklist
 * Cites only large entities, vaguely as 'Viacom'. No sources.
 * A slew of other problems.

The omissions were intended to clean up the article and make it a little shorter and more precise, but no vital data was removed. The release date change comes from its Release History section. It was released on March 30 in the US, not March 22nd. The change of the recording date can be sourced here. The word blacklist was changed to boycott several times solely to avoid repetition, nothing about it was removed. About the fifth point, I decided to keep one sentence over the other only to shorten it, rather than having both present like in the current edit. They're both important and notable facts, though I'm unsure how its unacceptable. I'm also unsure of any omission of the blacklist, there's an entire section on it which sources articles naming the entities, such as this one as well as a sourced article from a magazine. Its also mentioned in the header. The only intention was to improve the article a bit, I would like to publish my edit once this is clarified. Regards, User5482 (talk) 23:52, 24 March 2014 (UTC)

Let me screenshot every single discrepancy I find.

http://i.imgur.com/hhwOwfQ.png <- The link is broken. You removed all of the yellow text for seemingly no reason as far as I can see. http://i.imgur.com/WuyrzCt.png <- The link you just linked me to does not even mention the claim of changing the recording date. Plus, you omitted the fact of the 'two main producers' to just 'producers'. You're depreciating what they did. http://i.imgur.com/54pQaw4.png <- It is kind of relevant to include that it was the longest album she'd done. You omitted that. http://i.imgur.com/lzqyOdH.png <- This is where I was referring to in terms of omitting 'blacklist'. http://i.imgur.com/4W9nwh5.png <- I actually think this edit was perfectly fine. Next. http://i.imgur.com/mkeeNzU.png <- You merely moved it. Perfectly fine. http://i.imgur.com/ElVUl6h.png <- Again, this is fine. http://i.imgur.com/AYh0LFz.png <- Omitted important information.

Let's just start with these first. It's an incredibly large edit.

The broken link wasn't added by me. The proper link to its initial recording is found here as previously mentioned. The link provided is from October 2002, in which Jam says she started recording the album. After looking at other pop album pages, the recording studios in the infobox have now been omitted from most as it seems to take up unnecessary space, which is why I removed them.

Regarding the change to 'producers', at this point they weren't her 'main' collaborators since emphasis was placed on the new talent she'd worked with, its not depreciation of their work. But that edit was only done to make it alittle shorter. As for the next edit, as I said I replaced boycott with blacklist to avoid repetition as blacklist is mentioned once before, but that can be changed back to the original word, no problem. I removed the period it was recorded in only to shorten the header since its mentioned within the article. With the last one, I took out the quote since the sentence before it already summarizes it and makes the article shorter. I actually wrote a lot of this page and was going through it just to clean it up a bit. User5482 (talk) 00:40, 25 March 2014 (UTC)

In the meantime, I've reverted the page and corrected the header and recording date error with proper sources, solely due to it likely generating increased interest upon its tenth anniversary approaching in a few days. I wrote the bulk of this page and only intended to clean and update the article from the original edit to make it more presentable. User5482 (talk) 16:01, 27 March 2014 (UTC)
