r kelly description in the lead

[edit]

A. it is WP:SYNTH to include R Kelley's convictions in the biography of Jay-Z, b. it is irrelevant to the album as he was not convicted at the time, and c. we have a wikilink that takes you to an article that details R. Kelley's criminal convictions. nableezy - 18:43, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It is his identifier. He is a convicted sex trafficker with crimes predating decades. Hence he was a sex trafficker at the time the albums were recorded. In the edit history of this article, you tried to establish a new precedent to remove an identifier for this one particular individual, stating that identifiers of other individuals has no relevance to Jay-Z, especially if they have their own articles with all their relevant details. When that same precedent was used to removed identifiers for other individuals you reverted. The is a clear violation of WP:OWN. Moreover, solely removing an identifier for a controversial collaborator of Jay-Z is a violation of WP:NPOV. All identifiers, for everyone including R Kelly, have now been reinstated. Thanks.

Plagiarism lawsuit

[edit]

Decoded (memoir)#Plagiarism claims details the filing of a 2012 lawsuit alleging plagiarism of the book Decoded. Surely that matter is long resolved by now. Does anyone have any reference to how it was settled/dismissed? -- Finlay McWalter··–·Talk 13:01, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
