Question
I had a question about the "If We're Honest" section "Target bonus CD". Do I have to reference the linear notes from where I obtained my information? Or can I leave it like it is? The reason I'm asking this is because Walter Gorlitz said I needed to, but I couldn't figure it out because my information was obtained from the linear notes, but not from the booklet. It was from the page behind the CDs. Thanks. Ilovechristianmusic (talk) 14:06, 3 May 2014 (UTC)ilovechristianmusic

 * Thank you, I will have to get to them later in the month.HotHat (talk) 22:24, 8 May 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm taking a stab at them today, so that I can get Props and his latest albums on DYK.-- &iquest;3fam  ily6  contribs 19:33, 12 May 2014 (UTC)

Tunnel Rats
If you don't mind, I'd like to tackle Tunnel Rats myself.-- &iquest;3fam  ily6  contribs 22:16, 8 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Oh, I get it the real things. Rats carry the bubonic plague or black death as some may want to refer to it.HotHat (talk) 22:22, 8 May 2014 (UTC)
 * No, I meant the group, haha.-- &iquest;3fam  ily6  contribs 19:20, 12 May 2014 (UTC)

Christian hip hop
Since you seem to be interested in Christian hip hop you might be interested in the article 2014 in hip hop music. It would be good to have some notable Christian hip hop albums in the article. STATic message me!   19:17, 9 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I will add to it accordingly. This year so far has been a down year for notable Christian hip hop albums. Scribbling Idiots released an album but it failed to chart. I will work on the Da' T.R.U.T.H. album that just charted a little while back.HotHat (talk) 23:04, 9 May 2014 (UTC)

DYK info
You should submit your new articles to DYK, or else let me know so that I can.-- &iquest;3fam  ily6  contribs 19:22, 12 May 2014 (UTC)

Request
I was walking through Chris Tomlin's albums and discovered that The Noise We Make was void of info and refs. I grabbed the only review I could find and threw that in. I added AllMusic and Discogs for the track listing, but it needs a bit more prose. Do you have time to throw some in? If not, let me know and I'll see what I can do. It is his breakthrough album and should get some commentary. Walter Görlitz (talk) 14:17, 13 May 2014 (UTC)

You've been busy!
Nice job! Thanks for creating the W.L.A.K. article and members. I'll try to improve the group article to get it up to shape for DYK. The others either need to be expanded pronto, or else leave of entirely so that they can be expanded 5X later. I know that this is complicated, but I want these articles to get on DYK, so I'm strategizing.-- &iquest;3fam  ily6  contribs 03:02, 18 May 2014 (UTC)
 * I have found the Christian hip hop treasure trove. I was in a state of pure amazement that a rap collective and its four members were notable as well as their album articles.HotHat (talk) 05:32, 18 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Sorry 3family6, I opened a Pandora's box.HotHat (talk) 05:40, 18 May 2014 (UTC)
 * I know the feeling. I go crazy on here myself.-- &iquest;3fam  ily6  contribs 17:59, 18 May 2014 (UTC)

Writing tips
I hope you don't mind, but I want to give you a few pointers on some things I've noticed in a lot of your articles.

1. The "background" section of an album deals with previous recordings, production history, things like that. See Gravity or Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) for examples. Your recent articles merely re-state the lead.

2. "blank is an album by blank, it released on such-and-such date." - That's grammatically incorrect. "It was released on such-and-such date" or "blank is an album released on such-and-such date" are both grammatically correct solutions.

3. In summarizing reviews, there's no need to state "x-number of critics reviewed the album." Those numbers can increase constantly, and there's a high likely-hood that a review got missed somewhere. Instead of giving a definite number, just say something like "critical reception was mixed" or "this album met with critical acclaim." For examples on how to summarize reviews, look at Enter the Wu-Tang Clan (36 Chambers) or the Iron Man articles.

4. Including a stylistic discussion can help add content to the article as well.

I hope these help, and if you ever notice writing quriks of mine that could be improved, please let me know!-- &iquest;3fam  ily6  contribs 17:58, 18 May 2014 (UTC)

Hello, HotHat

There's been a merger discussion at Talk:Mars Ill that has stagnated. I added to the discussion to days ago to try and move things forward. Would you mind taking a look as well?
