protecting the page

you might wanna protect the page, there may be a wave of vandalism coming 172.87.166.170 (talk) 17:42, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Usually there is not much vandalism unless there is a political issue so I very much disagree here. There is so far no evidence of vandalism (see history) 68.174.246.53 (talk) 18:18, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There was quite a bit of vandalism happening on this article earlier. It was only quashed when the article was semi-protected. My Pants Metal (talk) 20:08, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed, who would vandalize an article for no reason out of there way. ChangshanMan53 (talk) 20:50, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Composition?

It is worth noting that the album either samples or features vocals by Mexican mariachi singer Deyra Barrera throughout the album. BrokeStudent69 (talk) 18:42, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I added that info today, many sources have started covering the Deyra Barrera featuring on the album. Editor a la fuerza (talk) 06:08, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Additional protection

It may be wise to add additional protections to the page, if you can. There's still good chunk of vandalism. DiaMali (talk) 15:44, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I agree 77roundz (talk) 15:47, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The vandalism is coming directly from you. DiaMali (talk) 15:52, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Remove Checco Zalone both as an inspiration and a feature from the second paragraph: he is an italian actor and has nothing to do with kendrick lamar. Li Bassi Filippo (talk) 15:57, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Track listing: Lyrics instead of Writer(s)

Since the official album credits list the lyricists but not writers, I suggest to replace the Writer(s) column in the track listing with a Lyrics column (with artist names) as per Template:Track_listing. This would also make it easier to identify the contributing ("featured") artists. Ragnarulv (talk) 20:48, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Very true 77roundz (talk) 21:22, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Composer/lyricist credits are both the same for all tracks, so I don't think we need that. _! Quwoting2 ^{converse} 01:32, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

FYI, it also seems the credits have been (are being?) updated, at least on Tidal. For example, SZA is now properly credited as "Featured Artist" on "Gloria". Ragnarulv (talk) 06:37, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Fantano

Why is he included on here but virtually on no other album sections? He's even done a video on Wikipedia not adding his reviews before. I'm not against it but I almost never see him listed under Critical Reception2601:152:97F:FBC0:A525:BDEA:C6C7:4277 (talk) 03:44, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think the reason why his review is here is because it was recent, but yeah, his reviews should be included on every page of an album he reviewed. Might as well get to work on that… Ninja640009 (talk) 08:03, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

He is considered an unreliable source per WP:NOTRSMUSIC. There was a 2024 discussion about including his reviews one month ago but editors are pretty reluctant to do so. His reviews should not be included yet, but maybe in a near future they will be since he has been gaining attention and even been building up staff for his site.— WeNeverGoOutOfStyle (talk) 16:55, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

How do I add pages?

I'm pretty new to editing on Wikipedia, so I don't know how to make pages. I just want to make pages for songs from GNX. Ninja640009 (talk) 08:02, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Track listing credits

I added the writers credits for all the samples and interpolations used throughout the album. If the addition is not correct feel free to edit or even erase in extreme cases. — WeNeverGoOutOfStyle (talk) 16:47, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
