Who is working on this page?
There are already 4 singles out from the new album, why is no one creating a section about it?2.242.179.251 (talk) 23:13, 10 March 2015 (UTC)

Can you add "Game developer" to the list of what Kanye does.

80.248.250.105 (talk) 10:21, 12 March 2015 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure if this would be appropriate as he's likely not developing the game himself. Given only this source, I'm more inclined to believe he's hiring someone to do it for him.  Also, it may be too soon.  I'll leave this up in case a more experienced editor is more comfortable with the change. --Padenton (talk) 11:06, 12 March 2015 (UTC)

1996–2002: Career beginnings
After finishing high school at the American Academy of Art, he enrolled at Chicago State University, but dropped out to produce music full time. After linking with Midwest producer No ID, West soaked up all he could and practiced religiously. A meeting with Roc-a-Fella A&R man Kyambo "Hip-Hop" Joshua resulted in his beats being utilized by such label acts as Jay-Z and Beanie Sigei, and West moved to a New Jersey apartment to further his dreams."

There is an error in the wording of the sentence that describes West's promotional endeavour, 'G.O.O.D. Fridays' which I am unable to fix myself as I'm pretty new here. It appears under the heading "2010–12: My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy and collaborations"

The section currently reads: ″During this time, West initiated the free music program G.O.O.D. Fridays through his website, offering a free download of previously unreleased songs each Friday of the week, a portion of which were included on the album.″

Of course, there is only one Friday in a week, so it should be rewritten to say "each Friday of the month", or even rewritten to say:

″During this time, West initiated the free music program G.O.O.D. Fridays through his website, offering a free download of previously unreleased songs each Friday of the month, a portion of which were included on the album. This promotion ran from August 20 - December 17, 2010.″ Trainrekmatt (talk) 14:05, 27 July 2015 (UTC)


 * Yes check.svg Done I have changed your edit slightly - rather than "each Friday of the month" I have simply stated "each Friday". Please note that we can't use Wikipedia as a reliable source for references, however the wikilink to GOOD Fridays satisfies the verifiability policy because that article is reliably sourced.

 * Pictogram voting wait.svg Already done In May 2015, West tweeted that he was changing his next album title from So Help Me God to SWISH but also stated that the title could change again in the future.[108] Later that month, West was awarded an honorary doctorate by the School of the Art Institute of Chicago for his contributions to music, fashion, and popular culture, officially making him an honorary DFA[109] Cannolis (talk) 02:38, 25 September 2015 (UTC)

Add Elton John and Paul McCartney to associated acts. He has worked with both a lot recently.

 * Yellow check.svg Partly done:. Paul McCartney's name is already in the associated acts. What songs have Elton John and Kanye collaborated on other than "All of the Lights"? (Kanye sampled Elton John on "Good Morning", but I'm not sure if sampling makes one an "associated act".) /wia   /tlk  04:15, 9 December 2015 (UTC)

West was not selected for the TIME 100 in 2011, he was one of the nominees in the user poll. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.109.55.92 (talk) 06:38, 14 December 2015 (UTC)

It was announced in 2015 he would run for president of the USA. Can this be added to his article somewhere (personal life or bio?)? /wia  —Preceding undated comment added 16:50, 17 January 2016 (UTC)

Why He Failed
He did not do very well in his music career because of the following reasons. He is Kanye West, does not have music talent, and he is a try hard. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Moughilnk (talk • contribs) 23:33, 19 January 2016 (UTC)

Add Kanye's appearences on Def Jam Poetry in TV show Filmography
He performed his original poetry three times on the show Def Jam Poetry, and it's incredible.

Orphaned references in Kanye West
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Kanye West's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
