Talk:The Documentary

Storch and Elizondo
are they listed on production, co-production, or instruments?

i'm assuming co-prod., but i don't have this album. 134.69.166.26 21:19, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

Kanye West
Kanye West is from the midwest not eastcoast
 * It says several big-name producers that produce FOR East Coast rappers, not several big-name producers FROM the East Coast. --- Efil4tselaer: Resurrected 23:45, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

Samples
can someone add the samples that were on this album. -RR june 09, 2007

GA review
Pass: Superior article. I have almost nothing to say about such a well-written and vastly referenced article. I'm glad that such a portion of culture is being covered to this extent in Wikipedia.
 * Is it alright to have the chart performance nav templates so high up? Usually they're all at the bottom, but it makes more intuitive sense above.
 * I moved it under the external links. Spellcast 03:30, 8 November 2007 (UTC)


 * "Personnel" seems kind of strange, and unnecessary since the most important information is given in the infobox. The other information is rather detailed.
 * Yeah the section does repeat the producers in the infobox, but personnel sections are allowed per WP:ALBUM. Spellcast 03:30, 8 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Must "Sales and impact" be titled "impact"? There doesn't seem to be much in the section about its impact.
 * Yes you're right. I changed it to simply "Sales". Spellcast 03:30, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

Very nice. As you can see, I'm pulling at straws now trying to find things to say, because it's an excellent read. ALTON  .ıl  00:27, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the quick response. Good luck in all your future endeavors. ALTON   .ıl  03:37, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

5 times platinum?
I thought it went double platinum. The reference doesn't say anything about him selling 5 mil either. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.167.204.104 (talk) 05:55, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
 * It's 2x platinum in the U.S. The 5 mil refers to worldwide sales. It says so in the ref. Spellcast (talk) 06:25, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
