TheAmazingPeanuts, it would be helpful for you to use edit summaries in future. And that's three sections above, so there is nothing wrong with linking it again in a different section - as I said, it makes for easier navigation for readers. Keep in mind that most readers who use Wikipedia do so on mobile devices, and templates are also not viewable on majority of mobile devices. Either way, a reader shouldn't have to scroll all the way to the bottom or the top of an article to find a link which could have been provided in the section they are perusing (especially in such a lengthy article as this one). I write my articles in the absolute cleanest fashion and thank you for the links, rather insulting of you to assume I don't understand how featured and good article criteria works, but I very much do; one of the criteria is that FA/GA articles meet all the guidelines the MOS has layed out. Now some editors, including GA reviewers might argue that repeating links fails GA criteria, however if you read
MOS:REPEATLINK, it very clearly says "Generally , a link should appear only once in an article", it does not say links should not be repeated at all or where links should not be duplicated. I know it says "but if helpful for readers, a link may be repeated in infoboxes, [...] and at the first occurrence after the lead", however it allows for exceptions in repeating links at the discretion of an editor.

@
AshMusique: Wrong. The mobile version does not count, most readers don't care about the linking in the prose, they go to the track listing section, which all the links of the tracks are at.
MOS:REPEATLINK still says a link should appear only once in an article. Maybe you should stop using the mobile version and stop arguing with editors who work hard on articles to get them to good quality. Don't mean to be rude but I'm saying what it is.

TheAmazingPeanuts, that's your own opinion and threads on
original research. Also that's not the point, it's not merely about whether the reader cares whether there's linking in the prose or not. I didn't say a reader wants to see all the tracks in the article. Even if that were the case, what I'm saying is, it's helpful to have the link(s) right there where the reader is reading, so unnecessary navigation isn't needed. And no, again, MOS:REPEATLINK says "Generally , a link should appear only once in an article", it allows for exceptions, and though it mentions which parts of the article the exceptions are meant for, some discretion is allowed in cases like these, taking the reader into consideration. As simple as that. You still have not convinced me otherwise. Please don't tell me which version of Wikipedia I must use, thank you, I edit best from it. You're completely missing what the point is here - it's not about me. I'm not "arguing" with anyone, I commend users who put in the hard work to get articles to GA status, but I'm also not going to not implement changes I deem in best interest of the reader. This is after all a collaborative effort. The fact that you see it as arguing is not sensible, I am simply trying to get my point across. And your hostility is not appreciated, regardless of whether you think what you're saying is "what it is", please kindly pipe down.

Here are my two cents on this subject. Usually I link singles in the infobox, tracklist, lead and once in the article if it is mentioned in the prose. However, its a case by case situation if something that is mentioned on the first section of the body of the article and then two sections below I would wikilink it again, it really varies.

I would advise against wikilinking more than once in the body's prose, as doing so sets a standard by which countless links could be prone to being repeated. If you look further, the guideline actually says "a link may be repeated in infoboxes, tables, image captions, footnotes, hatnotes, and at the first occurrence after the lead", so prose should follow the general rule. --

When I said I would wikilink it again, it would be if the article was long enough. The article is being reviewed perhaps the reviewer will address said subject.

The following is an archived discussion of the DYK nomination of the article below. Please do not modify this page. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as
this nomination's talk page,
the article's talk page or
Wikipedia talk:Did you know), unless there is consensus to re-open the discussion at this page. No further edits should be made to this page.

The Ultimate Boss: Before I review, may I suggest that you completely re-write this hook. You make it seem as if 50 Cent was shot and killed in a home invasion. Also, phrases like "debut posthumous studio album" which are mandatory in articles, are considered superfluous in DYK hence why they don't need to be included. Consider writing this hook: "... that after
Pop Smoke's sudden death during a home invasion,
50 Cent took it upon himself to finish the former's debut album, Shoot for the Stars, Aim for the Moon, on his behalf." or something along those lines.
HeyitsBentalk08:22, 11 April 2021 (UTC)reply
Interesting: - This hook simply states the executive producer of a posthumous album and the reason of death... nothing much. I suggest that you spice it up by including the fact that 50 Cent "curated" Pop's album "took it upon himself" to finish it after his death, which the Billboard source supports already.

Approve ALT1 (but change "six months" to "five months") and ALT5 as the ones that sound most interesting to me. Disclaimer: I have only evaluated these hooks and that they are cited inline in the article; I am deferring to the original review from
Cybertrip [HeyitsBen] for other aspects like copyvio, general sourcing, etc.

I have re added the feature list to the beginning of the page as it lists all the features shown on the album similar to that of most other pages of this nature. I am also adding it to the talk section so other people can see and then decide on what the outcome should be. Feature list or not.

User: Chiade85 , please don't speak only to one user here, but tell us what you did, precisely. We don't know what "feature list" means. Also, as long as a disputed addition is discussed, it should not be added to the article, - only after it found consensus. --

I only spoke to them only because they were the one who had such an issue with it. The feature list is the list of all features seen on the album in the main body of introduction text.
Chiade85 (
talk) 20:31, 16 July 2021 (GMT+1)
The talk is for everybody interested. I indented as we normally do on talk pages. I'll do it for you. You added this, a list of many names who were featured in a recording, to the introduction. If you ask me, the introduction should have only the key facts, and these detailed names are not key. --

@
Chiade85: Don't called people names who I disagree your editing skills okay. The reason why I reverted your edits because you added every single body in the lead, added too much content like that is unnecessary and made the lead look bloated (See
WP:TOOMUCH and
WP:LEAD). And your grammar doesn't help matters either.

@
TheAmazingPeanuts: I personally feel like the content isn't unnecessary if I wasn't the one editing it then I would want to see the features on the album. But if you don't see it like that whatever. Also don't mention things like grammar/spelling (I know you didn't, it's hypothetical)as you don't know what issues a person may have with things like that, so if you don't like someone's grammar change it yourself. I am no longer going to use Wikipedia as I am going to retire the account or ask for a deletion as I clearly can't add necessary information to the pages and can't seem to have people see things the way I do so I'll leave it to the professionals I guess.

Please don't rush. The information is probably good to have, but not in the introduction. It needs a reliable source, and people need to agree that it's good to have. --

@
Chiade85: I think you being petty here, just because me and
Gerda Arendt disagree with your editing doesn't mean you should quit Wikipedia over this issue. When you get reverted by another editor, you don't restore your edits, simple as that (
WP:BRD). You can get better as an editor but just like everybody else here, you have to follow the guidelines (
WP:MOS).

Chiade, my first article was deleted, - I didn't leave Wikipedia but asked for help, and found it. Try it, we are here to help to put content in the right position with good references. --
