Why is this page so bare? And what collaboration with P Diddy is on the album? They co-produced two tracks together, but he doesn't actually appear on the song.

It will be updated evantually. Well I didnt write that, but he sort of does appear on Honey with some spoken parts, but yeah, its not really a collaboration.

Mariah's articles DON'T NEED TO BE MERGED!! She is a legend and needs to space she has.

[edit] Extraordinary machine

Why did you just randomly go and delete half the page? I have put it back and it would be nice if you put a reason next time (as I don't doubt that there will be a next time). —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 195.93.21.133 (talk • contribs) 18:08, 7 March 2006.

  1. You did not cite your sources. Statements such as "is considered Carey’s most personal, best critically received and a fan favourite" and "It is thought that this decision was taken because Carey's ex-husband Tommy Mottola felt it was too personal" need references to support them.

  2. The item about "Butterfly" originally being conceived as a house record was mentioned twice.
  3. It doesn't make sense to title a section "Album information", when the whole article contains information about the album.
  4. Wikipedia:Guide_to_layout#Structure_of_the_article states: "sections and subsections that are very short will make the article look cluttered and inhibit the flow". It also says "Articles generally comprise prose paragraphs, not bullet points...Bulleted lists should not be overused in the main text".
  5. Trivia sections are also generally avoided.
  6. Abbreviating the numbers in the chart trajectory saves space and bytes. Extraordinary Machine 18:22, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

I was basing the page on Madonna's Ray of Light, you may want to change that too.

[edit] Worldwide sales

Anon editors were changing the worldwide sales figure without citing a source, so I removed it. Please cite reliable sources for information like this. Extraordinary Machine 17:27, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Butterfly-austriacdalbumbookletfront.jpg

Image:Butterfly-austriacdalbumbookletfront.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
