Talk:Mac Miller

Edit Request: Worst-Written Article Ever

This is the worst-written article I have ever read on Wikipedia. I request that someone with college level writing skills, or who has at least graduated high school, please redo the entire thing so the teacher won't give it a C-. Also, please try to not be high when you redo it. Thanks.Brakoholic (talk) 19:10, 7 October 2011 (UTC)

Examples:

"This is an impressive accomplishment considering he was not yet signed to a major label."

Totally opinionated, unsourced statement. Ought to be removed completely, but I'll give someone a chance to correct it.

"Prior to his 2011 national Blue Slide Park across the U.S. Miller traveled Europe on his "Incredibly Dope Tour" visiting cities such as London, Manchester, Amsterdam and more."

Prior to his 2011 national what? the U.S. Miller what? One of the worst constructed sentences ever put in an "encyclopedia".

"The six-track work was produced by Rostrum Records."

Aren't producers usually people?

"The Ill spoken released their mixtape how high in 2008."

I'm assuming how high was the name, right? Maybe it should be represented as such in the article.

Is track listing necessary? Suggest opening up a new article for each tape or listing titles. Will be changed if no action is taken. DCJodon (talk) 01:57, 2 December 2010 (UTC)

"Musically gifted", "rapidly becoming a household name" -- all this reads like a press release. I'm updating it to more of a neutral POV. Wdr1 (talk) 22:36, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

Merger proposal

Albums or similar do not warrant their own articles unless there is significant coverage. As of now, I have not seen much coverage for it, and thus propose for the article On And On And Beyond, which is currently just a track listing, to be merged directly into the section EPs, where the extended play is listed. See Wikipedia:Notability (music) for more information. --Battlefield1181 (talk) 17:46, 24 April 2011 (UTC)

Agreed and  Done, since there were no objections. jheiv ^{talk contribs} 20:16, 22 May 2011 (UTC)

Formatting questions

Questions on three things:

1. Should "EP" be expanded to say "Extended play," since it does not seem to be a well-known acronym?
2. Should it point to the Wikipedia article on Extended play because it does not seem to be a well-known term?
3. The three mixtapes link back to this article. Should they even be links?

Correct me if I am mistaken on the population knowing the term extended play. --Battlefield1181 (talk) 11:48, 26 April 2011 (UTC)

Discography

Hi. This page is protected, so I do not have the ability to edit this, but the mixtape How High: The Mixtape is not a solo mixtape and should be listed like this:

• How High: The Mixtape (2008) (with The Ill Spoken)

Because the mixtape was in his group The Ill Spoken with Beedie in 2008, that's how it sohuld be listed. Could somewhat who is able to edit the page please add this. TomUSA (talk) 22:40, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

Discography

Hi. I can't edit this page because it's protected from new users. But the mixtape How High: The Mixtape is with his group, and is not a solo mixtape. It sohuld be listed in discography like this:

• How High: The Mixtape (2008) (with The Ill Spoken)

How High: The Mixtape is a group-release with The Ill Spoken which includes Mac Miller and his friend Beedie. Also, there is no listing of the singles he has released such as "Donald Trump" from Best Day Ever, "Kool Aid & Frozen Pizza" from K.I.D.S., "Knock Knock" from K.I.D.S., and so on. And in the Studio albums section it says Best Day Ever: Dope Album. There should be a "citation needed" template next to that. Somebody please note this, TomUSA (talk) 22:44, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

Freshman Year of High School

I'm pretty sure Mac Miller was THE hottest kid in his highschool. ←←← True Story Dawg. Pretty sure that Mac Miller didn't actually attend Allderdice as a freshman.

http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/07158/791858-364.stm indicates that he played the spring lacrosse season at Winchester-Thurston.

I think he transferred after that. Going to change this article to not say where he went to high school as a freshman. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ccheever (talk • contribs) 03:26, 29 June 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, if you have a source saying where he was as a freshman then an administrator should definately edit the page and add that. TomUSA My talk page 18:29, 29 June 2011 (UTC)

I added it to the page. TomUSA My talk page 19:34, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

Discography

under albums it says blue slide park with citation needed. it should say something along the lines of rumered to be blue slide park or something along those lines. in a video posted on his official youtube channel he stated that his album would be called blue slide park but it is unclear weather or not he is being serious --69.205.203.16 (talk) 06:03, 7 July 2011 (UTC)

This is, in fact, the legitimate album title announcement: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vu-1CkITrL0 And if that's not enough, this tweet confirms it. http://twitter.com/#!/MacMiller/status/88464246454755329 as well as many other tweets sent out after it. Kenny (talk) 16:40, 7 July 2011 (UTC)

Even so, Wikipedia states that you can't always cite Twitter as a reference. So please, do not you the Twitter announcement as a page reference. TomUSA 15:55, 11 July 2011 (UTC)

Ancestry/ethnicity/religion

There's a number of things we can add to Mac's page if we find them. What kind of Jew is he (Reformed, Conservative, and I doubt he's Hasidic). His surname McCormick is an Irish surname, so is he half Irish half Jewish, or an "Irish Jew"? We need to find these tihngs out because we can add them to the page. TomUSA 18:58, 13 July 2011 (UTC)

Edit request from 24.180.238.14, 18 July 2011

In Career, it says "On March 11, 2011 his first single "Knock Knock" premiered its video on YouTube." When on his Youtube page, the video was posted November 22, 2010. This is the Knock Knock video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OmEpkztK5Lw&feature=related 24.180.238.14 (talk) 07:43, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

Edit Request

"Knock Knock" is off the mixtape K.I.D.S. and each songs basically has its video , so it should not even be mentioned..

It also says that his most recent mixtape was "Best Day Ever" which is true, but then it says that the singles for that tape are "Senior Skip Day" which is false because Senior Skip Day was on K.I.D.S, not Best Day Ever..

Also, add on to the page that the next video/single for Best Day Ever is the BDE Bonus (as confirmed in an interview) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.127.64.75 (talk) 14:39, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

 Not done You don't have any source for an upcoming single/video. Also, mentioning "Knock Knock" is appropriate for the article. TomUSA 20:27, 20 July 2011 (UTC)

Edit request from 65.10.129.218, 24 July 2011

Senior Skip Day is not on Best Day Ever. It was on K.I.D.S. Either fix the grammar and add both mixtapes to the sentence, or add a different single such as "Get Up" or "Best Day Ever".

65.10.129.218 (talk) 16:52, 24 July 2011 (UTC)

 Done 00:57, 25 July 2011 (UTC)

This is something that should be discussed on the appropriate page. TomUSA 18:20, 19 August 2011 (UTC)

Edit request from Wikimegaman, 27 September 2011

Hello,

I was viewing the Mac Miller wikipedia article & noticed an error.

In the "associated acts" column (which is located in the top-right box on the article), somebody linked "Beedie" as an associated act. This is a correct statement, however, it links to an incorrect article. Instead of linking to "Beedie (rapper)", it simply links to "Beedie", which is an article about Indian Cigarettes, not the aforementioned rapper. Please fix! Thank you!

Edit request

I'm sorry... Mac knows how to play piano, guitar, drums and.... what?

K.I.D.S. Article

I have seen the link to the K.I.D.S mixtape album come and go several times. I believe that Best Day Ever (mixtape) was a very significant album in terms of Miller, as well as mixtapes in general, and will therefore stand by it being an article. I do not believe The Highlife is significant. I am on the fence with K.I.D.S, but if it were up to me, I would vote that it was also significant and should be an article.

Can we decide here whether or not it should be an article, and keep it that way?

I vote for because it was significant to Miller's career in terms of gaining fans, and it was a popular/successful mixtape. TheGrimme (talk) 15:41, 3 October 2011 (UTC)

It would be good if you could also back up your vote with a couple of independent sources as per Wikipedia:Notability (music) --Battlefield1181 (talk) 16:02, 14 October 2011 (UTC)

Seriously

The worst written wiki ever. Sounds like a pitch from a promoter, if you ask me.
