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.

Semi-protected edit request on 14 September 2021

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Certified Lover Boy. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.
