Schoolcraft

Based on current practices here, I need to alert you that the article will almost certainly be deleted unless it is immediate improved by the addition of major news stories about him and his campaign, if possible from national sources such as the NYTimes. I personally have long argued we should always include the loosing candidate for national office in a two party system, but as an administrator here, it is only fair for me to tell you that my views have not obtained consensus. W need third party accounts, and to meet the current view, they need to be substantial and from unquestionably reliable sources, and not just local. to his state. Like it or not, that's what is in practice needed. If you can not add them immediately, and by immediately I mean within the next 24 or 48 hours, please ask me to move it to draft space, which will give you 6 months to do it. .

Your edit to Kodak Black

With this edit you wrote: "On December 14, 2018, Kodak released his sophomore album". What is a "sophomore album"? Also, his stage name is "Kodak Black". Why did you called him "Kodak". Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 17:19, 3 April 2019 (UTC)

@Magnolia677 From what I understand, it is quite common to refer to a rapper by a part of their name such as "X" instead of "XXXTentacion" or "Savage" instead of "21 Savage", it's similar to just calling someone their first or last name

Thank you. What is a "sophomore album"? Magnolia677 (talk) 20:02, 3 April 2019 (UTC)

I fixed it to be clearer, but a Sophomore Album usually refers to the second album by a singer, band, etc. @Magnolia677

TheFamousPeople.com as a source

Hi WelchMan. I noticed that you recently used thefamouspeople.com as a source for biographical information in Ugly God. Please note that there is general consensus that thefamouspeople.com does not meet the reliable sourcing criteria for such information. (Discussions here and here). Celebsnetworthtoday.com is similarly unreliable. If you disagree, let's discuss it. Thanks. --Ronz (talk) 16:51, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

March 2020

Hello, I'm Magnolia677. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Ugly God, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 20:04, 7 March 2020 (UTC)

User: Magnolia677 sorry about that, could you look into that for me? Ugly God and another rapper (Rizzoo Rizzoo, doesn't have a page here) dropped an EP named "UglyGoblin", but the only sources on it are primary (i.e. the Spotify listing). What should I do in this case?
