Talk:Certified Lover Boy

Biased Article

Swathes of the article are written by Drake fanboys.

For one, how is the critical reception 'generally positive'? I cannot comprehend that word seeing all the aggregates. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ackner2 (talk • contribs)

I partly agree with you, Ackner2, and have removed the unsourced mention of "generally positive". It's not for Wikipedia to take on a storytelling/narrator's role – we just report what reliable sources say. For some reason (and this issue has been discussed centrally somewhere, can't remember where), some editors feel the need to add a summary upfront with a statement about critical reception, and, imo, it's often somewhat optimistic and seemingly out to "big" up the subject. Aside from the OR/undue concerns, it's redundant – just like, say, including a statement saying "The album took quite a long time to record" under Recording.

Might want to go easy on the "Swathes of the article are written by Drake fanboys" line, though ... I mean, keep the criticism constructive and then it is helpful, because any bias or original research, whether subtle or blatant, has no place in a Wikipedia article.

Orphaned references in Certified Lover Boy

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Certified Lover Boy's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
