Whichever moron keeps removing Candice Nelson's rightful writing credits from "Appetite" please stop it, I've now provided an adequate source (
http://allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=33:wj5qxvuhldfe) despite having the official booklet and therefore credits myself. Please accept your defeat...
The meaning of CONFIRMED...
Really, does anyone not know the meaning of the word "confirmed." Only two songs (which are "The Realest" and "At the Time") have been confirmed. "That Girl Right There" was leaked, not confirmed. It could have easily been a left over from "Confessions," or just a sampler like "Make It Rain." Stop adding unsourced material. --

Whoever keeps puttine "Just what you need" that is not a single of ushers album. That song has recently surfaced on the internet. It would have to be fake as the albums first single has not even been released yet

Not on the Album
Usher has confirmed himself that songs like "You Play My Time," "Make It Rain," and "Romours," and "Shawty," will NOT be on the album. The only confirmed track is the realest.
They are only street tracks created to make buzz. Why would usher release a whole heap of songs on the album before relasing the first single!!
Trimy6701:16, 15 November 2007 (UTC)reply
I belive Dat Girl Right There is going to be the first single. It has gotten more airplay then tracks that are already out. I hear it atleast every other day, and I'm not even a serious radio-listener. I don't have evidence but maybe someone else does and can add it.

Does anyone know if any samples used on the album, especially Love In This Club part II. 2 of the songwriting credits go to Thom Bell and Linda Creed, so I'm guessing obviously it's from some Philly soul group.
This doesn't make sense
The album's second single, "Love in This Club, Part II", debuted on the "R&B/ Hip Hop Songs Chart at #14, [[[[[[[[[[
and went to #10 on May 31, 2008.]]]]]]] On May 21, 2008 the video for "Moving Mountains" was released on Usher's MySpace page.
Guys, please note that WikiPedia is not a collection of indiscriminate contents. Those "other tracks recorded for the album" is too detailed and very fancrufty. It might serve significance to others but generally, its not. Thank you. --

That's exactly the point of Wikipedia, to provide as much information about the concerned item in the article as possible. Whether or not you personally find it interesting information is irrelevant, it helps people who read the page to learn more about the album, exactly the point of an encyclopedic article unless I am mistaken. And please stop using non-existent words like "fancrufty", I can't argue against your case if you keep using ridiculous words that don't mean anything to the general english-speaking consensus. Many thanks.

I have read it. Please don't patronise me, my inclusion abides by all of those policies FYI. Please DISCUSS as is the intention of this page instead of simply posting
WP:NOT, which is not helpful to this debate in any way seen as you haven't posted anything specific except your own opinion and words which mean nothing. (please explain "fancrufty") But in summary if you insist (and PLEASE read what I have just typed):
"Wikipedia is not a paper encyclopedia; there is no practical limit to the number of topics it can cover, or the total amount of content, other than verifiability and the other points presented on this page."
PAPER refers to the number of articles that we can have, not really content within an article. Efe is right those other releases stuff is not necessary for a scholarly discussion of the topic for the general reader; merely useful for fanboys and collectors (whom we do not address here). "the point of Wikipedia, [is] to provide as much information about the concerned item in the article as possible"--could you point out guidelines that back you up on this? Thanks,

Bloody hell, this is a crap article. Disappointing. Mind you so is the album. "Lifetime" is the only track with any magic. I think IP's need banishing from this article. —

We neat to mention the critical and commercial reception to this album. It's certainly been a knock down from Confessions, both critically and commercially and the singles have been disastrous under performing by his standards. —

Album Sales
The citations say 1.5 million and 5 million worldwide. These are up to date sales. Do not edit it otherwise you are vandalizing the page. Thank you.

A. It contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with
the layout style guideline:
B.
Reliable sources are
cited inline. All content that
could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose):
All release dates should stay in "Release history" section Done
The prose should at least touch on the release time. Omitting this info would be like removing chart peaks since there is a table of them.

"Usher sang "Love in This Club" with Young Jeezy at reality television show The Hills'third season finale on May 12..." - Change "at" to "on"; space between "Hills'" and "third"; specify year Done
"...and again, by himself, at the finale of the sixth season of Dancing with the Stars on May 20..." - Should be standalone sentence; specify year Done
"Usher performed a one-off showcase concert for 1,500 fans at indigO2, London on May 22, 2008. Tickets were allocated by ballot." - Combine sentences Done
Try and find another name for the section to fit it better Done
Yes, I had thought about that, but couldn't find a better one. I pondered "Impact", although the marriage break-up isn't really a result of the album. DO you have any suggestions?

Include "Format" and "Label" columns; you can also add "Edition(s)" album if necessary Done
I don't believe it is possible to track down the various formats in every country and verify them with reliable sources. The label is noted in the "Release and promotion" prose section.

Number one information should be in "Charts" section Done
Ew. No. Per
WP:FOOTER navigational boxes should be at the bottom of the article. I fix any articles that contain a separate section for them, and encourage you to do the same.

After reviewing this article thoroughly, I have decided to put the article on hold at this time. There are numerous issues that are affecting this article from reaching GA status. Here are the main issues:
Prose quality: The prose of this article needs some work. As you can see, there are numerous grammar and punctuation issues among others.
References to sources: There are a lot of spots where specific facts aren't supported by cited references.
Other issues have been listed above. I will give you the general seven days to fix these mistakes and/or debate the ones you believe do not affect good article status. -

I went through all of the comments I left, and put the {{
done}} template around the items that have been fixed. I also put the {{
notdone}} template on issues that I believe still need to be addressed according to GA criteria. -
