[edit] Controversy

Some quotation is needed regarding C. Dolores Tucker's complaints about the inner cover cartoon of the CD, and that Snoop calls the women biatchez and ho's in the songs. Someone know how to cite Documentary films (Welcome to Death Row)? Is there a template for it? Lajbi ^{Holla @ me} 2 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:SnoopDoggyDoggDoggystyle.jpg

Image:SnoopDoggyDoggDoggystyle.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 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.BetacommandBot 05:17, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] GAN on hold

• "artist Snoop Doggy Dogg" - not just Snoop Dogg?

No. It's not only a matter of choice but also a copyright issue, the executive producer of this album (and at that time Snoop's too) owns the rights for that "artist name/stage name", that's the reason Snoop changed it for his 3rd album and started to endorse the license for his own albums under his new pseudonym.Lajbi ^{Holla @ me} 10:41, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

• "The album was recorded after Dr. Dre's debut release of The Chronic, the album which is credited with founding and popularizing the G-Funk sub-genre within gangsta rap." - change comma to semi colon
• "of a popular sex position" - you can link to it (Doggy style) rather than to the list
• Ref 4 (and related comment); is TheRip a reliable source?
• "of Dr. Dre's debut album" - better to just use the album title here
• "With the album being released after his contributions on The Chronic, along with Dr. Dre's debut solo single "Deep Cover", resulted in the album being highly-anticipated by Hip hop fans" - doesn't really make sense, read it aloud and try to reword
• "While recording Doggystyle with Dr. Dre in August 1993, Snoop Dogg was arrested in connection with the death of Phillip Woldermarian, a member of a rival gang who was fired at and killed in a gang fight" - any more info about this...?
• Overlinking of Dre in Production section. Wlink Rolling Stone though.
• Some of the production quotes are more reception-ish...might want to merge with recording section above...layout is a bit all over as is...
• No need to include (sample) for the music sample; it's obvious
• Vibe comments in Critical recognition section unsourced, it seems
• Unless it's from CD universe; in that case, duplicate the ref for each quote

Leave me a note when done. Cheers, dihydrogen monoxide (H₂O) 10:40, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

I've took care of most of the tasks you requested, I removed 'TheRip' as a source since it was just a college site. I just left the production and recording sections seperate because I think this shows the recording process and then the end product which was created when the album was released. If you believe that the article doesn't reach GA standard in this layout, i'll go back and change it. Thanks - Guerilla In Tha Mist (talk) 18:36, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

The layout looks fine...if you're thinking about FAC for this one, make sure you take not of the issues raised last time (significance, influence, etc...). Good luck anyways! dihydrogen monoxide (H₂O) 00:25, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

This GAN has passed, and this is now a good article! If you found this review helpful, please consider helping out a fellow editor by reviewing another good article nomination.
