Release

Can anyone verify the release dates and touring information posted on the page? As much as I hope that the wait is finally over, every weekend someone says, "This is the weekend."Nmicon 16:49, 10 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Official Track Listing

Can anyone verify thi track listing? Nmicon 02:45, 10 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • It's fake, duh
You can be right but this person may also right however, some of this tracks may not be included in the album. BritandBeyonce 06:52, 13 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
It's fake because she hasn't even been listed to perform with Wade Robson, she doesn't have a song called "Se;f Control (It was Ashley Breathe) and the song "Even taught i'm wrong" is spelled wrong and it was a fak song floating around. This tracklist is not real.

Some contributors put this "alleged" official tracklisting without citing a reliable source:

Before we finally put that in the page, pls verify because we all know that weve been arguing this article since and its implausible if you dont put any source. We need a confirmation from Brit's camp although some of your listed tracks might be correct or have been recorded but what if some didnt make to the album? BritandBeyonce 00:45, 2 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]


Where did you all get this tracklisting from?71.241.176.7 16:40, 3 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Since when do albums have 20 songs unless it is a dual disc which Britney has yet to do (opther than In The Zone but that still had alot less songs than this). 75.57.191.178 00:13, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Christina Aguilera's Stripped had 20 songs.

Ya right! BritandBeyonce 05:07, 14 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

'Nunca Estaras Solo' last time i checked, britney didnt talk spanish....--Jak3m 23:19, 16 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

External Link

You have to stop to put on the External Link of britneyexperts.com.. it doesn't need!!! *Unforgivable* 15:14, 6 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I totally agree. External Links should be official sites and britneyexpert.com is not affiliated with Brit's. BritandBeyonce 12:49, 30 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

NO!

  • Do NOT merge it. Britney has NEVER confirmed Here I Come as the title. God, will these idiots stop? They're the same article, but Here I Come has the WRONG TITLE Dmurawski 23:02, 9 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • The "Here I Come" article should be removed! As far as I know, nothing about the title is confirmed. *Unforgivable* 09:52, 10 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Im so excited over her new album

If Christina Aguilera's Back to Basics was 2006 most anticipated album, 2007 will be for Britney! I can see her firing up the chart next year! Go Britney! I hope she record a track with Christina and or Justin! I love them 3! -bianx 22 December 2006

Yea i cant wait for another album by britney,

my god! she's the hottest dancer ever.. ok .. maybe second to madonna... and the girl can sing.. but maybe not as good as mariah, christina or beyonce... im really excited over this new album... she already recorded 18 tracks! wow! more tracks! a double album like christina's wont hurt... go britney! -bianx 28 December 2006

Please stop removing every new information! It's senseless to add something new to this article because everything will be removed after a few hours ... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 89.51.150.16 (talk) 18:30, 23 December 2006 (UTC).[reply]


Self Control

Is this song even hers? Allegedly it was produced by Timbaland. I know people keep talking about the demo that leaked but I know that's not hers.

    • Its another Ashley Breathe creation *M Vallee* 3:35 7 January 2007

Yeah, the clip was ashley breathe but I mean the song title, did britney record a song called "self control"?

    • Theres never been anything confiming a song with that title Its just another fan rumor. *M Vallee* 7:54 8 January 2007

Confirm The Tracks

Isn't anyone here able just just call or email Jive and ask for a list of tracks she has completed?

  • Also, didn't she record a song caled "Salsa Salsa" with Nicole Ritchie?

If you want to know more on Briney's finished track, just log on to this site: britneyexperts.com

by: BritandBeyonce

  • I meant a real source, not a fake source that posts fake things.

Useless

is it that difficult to wait for a believable tracklisting posted by Britney or Jive????

  • Yes, so people like you can't add stupid fake tracks.

Tracklist

Please take note of the above discussion, and of our Wikipedia:Verifiability policy. To all editors who want to add track lists (and I notice that you don't even agree with one another): Until you provide a reliable source that confirms the track list that you are adding, the track list will be removed from this article. We will hold you to our verifiability policy. Check your facts, and cite your sources. Nothing less will do. Uncle G 22:05, 5 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Clean It Up!

That "Please Read" crap is not needed. And neither are the "listing provided by such and such." Put that in the references section. Clean the whole thing up. And "Full Story"? Change that to "Production Details" or something. It reads like something a five year old wrote.

We should delete it

I think that this article should be deleted, because it isn't clear and it's very blunderer! When we'll have more info we can make it. But until any official statement is released we can't keep this article so confused. What do you think? *Unforgivable* 18:44, 27 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree

Album comming later.

I don't think that the album will be released this year because Britney's now in rehab so.

Larry told E! that the album is still coming out this year, Britney is only gonna be in rehab for a month.

Timbaland espressed interest in working with Britney

He said it with an interview with Mtv News. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.171.42.13 (talk) 22:07, 16 March 2007 (UTC).[reply]

  • That's zero help towards improving this article. What interview? With whom? When? Please give us a citation. Uncle G 23:16, 17 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

New Britney song

I just hard a rumor about a ne Britney song called: Rockstar. Is this true? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 84.25.197.19 (talk) 10:17, 19 March 2007 (UTC).[reply]

  • Yes, the song is on ASCAP.

STOP ADDING TRACKS

None of those tracks were confirmed at all, anywhere. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.106.62.241 (talk) 19:25, 27 March 2007 (UTC).[reply]


Album in September

Who deleted the section where it said the album will hit stores September 28? I did not add that link but it had a valuable source. Geesh. Soapfan06

Deletion

I deleted that one section about Jive not knowing how to market the album and about them not even picking a producer for the album since that does not have a clear source and obviously the new album has more than one producer already on board. Soapfan06 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Soapfan06 (talk • contribs) 2007-04-21 06:15:43 (UTC)

  • Please post comments at the bottom of talk pages. The text has a clear source. The source is right there, cited and linked. Uncle G 17:22, 3 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Attention

Please do not add the annonymous source paragraph since that information is irrelevant at this point. No reliable source is listed and Spears has several producers working on the new record now. This article needs to be updated as time goes on and that paragraph is of no use now. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Soapfan06 (talk • contribs) 2007-05-03 13:06:28 (UTC)

  • Rubbish. A reliable source, several writers writing for the New York Post, is cited and linked to directly from the text of the paragraph. And the paragraph most certainly is of use. It gives the projected release date as supplied by the record label, for one thing. Uncle G 17:22, 3 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • Umm...since when is someone listed as annonymous a good source? It does not matter who runs the story because the main idea of the statements ihas been proven wrong. Spears is recording and has many producers on board. The record company is going full steam ahead with the new album and we should not keep outdated news. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Soapfan06 (talk • contribs) 2007-05-03 21:23:29 (UTC)
      • The authors of the source are not anonymous. They are given in the citation. Please actually read the citation. And the fact that there is a contrary opinion from the record company is given in the very text itself. Please actually read the content, too. Your objection to this content appears to be your own personal disagreement with the sourced analysis not an objection that is in accordance with our Wikipedia:Verifiability policy. The content is verifiable. Readers can go to the source cited and confirm that indeed the accusation has been made and the record company has responded to it. Uncle G 10:39, 5 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Max Martin

Is Max Martin writing songs for this album? I heard that he is only involved with some of the mixing and engineering work. I assume most Britney fans loved her for Baby One More Time & Oops!..I Did It Again. Can anyone confirm whether if he is writing songs for her or not?

Recording Process section

I think there should be a header that says Recording Process, even though it is the bulk of the article. It looks very messy and I know that once more details are released, it will look much better. Does anybody else agree? --Jennica 22:44, 10 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Shorter producer list?

The producer list should be shorten't because half of them just produced 1 song that might be on the album. What do you think?


September Is Not When The Album Will Be Released

If the first single comes out in September there is no way that the album will be released that month so stop changing the release date to September/October. The album will most likely be out in November since Larry and others have said that before, there is however a possibility that the album could come out in October, so the release date section should say October/Noverber. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.67.125.187 (talk • contribs) 2007-06-09 14:30:31 (UTC)

  • The sources cited say September. If you want the article to say otherwise, find and cite a source that says otherwise. Your personal opinion of what is "most likely" is irrelevant. Wikipedia articles are not built that way. As every edit screen here has told you, encyclopaedia content must be verifiable. Uncle G 10:12, 10 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • Well common sense if the first single is being released in September then no way is the album being released that month, singles are always released a month or 2 before the album, plus Larry said that the album would be out in Novemeber. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.67.125.187 (talk • contribs) 2007-06-10 20:11:24 (UTC)
      • Your personal idea of "common sense" is irrelevant. Find and cite a source. Anything else is unacceptable. Uncle G 20:20, 10 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
        • The single is confirmed for a September release NOT THE ALBUM!! No where in the article does it say both are going to be released in the same month! DUH!Poisonxparadise

There have been reports for a while about the album coming out in September. None verified, but I agree September/October is a good choice. Rumor has it Spears will debut new single on 2007 VMAs. Soapfan06 12:18 11 June 2007

I added some info about the album after reading numerous articles reporting that Britney's rep had announced the album would be postponed. Edit it but don't delete it because its factual not made up. Thankyou! Sound of White

Britney's album isnt pushed back!

Her record label(jive) said one day later that it wasn't pushed back and that it wil still be relesead this year. Check this links in wich it says it will still be released this year:

http://extreme-hot-music.blogspot.com/2007/06/confirmed-britneys-album-isnt-pushed.html 

Confirmed: The album isn't pushed back

Posted by Kevin / 22 Jun 2007 / comment at Pop Prodigy (ubritney.com)

That's why I say: Never believe what you read in In Touch Weekly. According to E! News, Britney's label denied that the album was pushed back. It's still set to be released later this year. And it was always obvious... Leslie Sloan Zelnick also said that Britney isn't on Hiatus and that Jive is really happy with her music.

Irrelevant information

Does anyone mind if I rewrite the page to consolidate some repetitive information and delete some irrelevant? For example, is it relevant to list every time Spears was seen entering a studio? Could we make things neater by saying: "Spears has selected a variety of producers to work with her on her new album, including rapper T-Pain, Sean Garret, well-known R&B producer Jonathan Rotem, Dr. Luke, Pharrell Williams, Scott Storch, Kara DioGuardi, Ne-Yo, and producer Patrick J. Que Smith."? Also, the paragraph about Larry Rudolph just repeats what the introduction to the article states, so it isn't really necessary.

Life & Style NOT a good source!

Please STOP putting info back in the section that has been revealed to be false. Jive has denied that they are unhappy with her songs and the way it was written was BIASED. Stop wasting space and keep the info RELEVANT. Soapfan06/June 27/12:33

It's still a source, Soapfan06, and a lot of other reputable publications used it. However, if we're getting rid of that phony allegation, I'll go ahead and strike the "anonymous insider" from January that was probably fake as well. --Circasix 15:19, 27 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Magazine articles, besides People or Time, should not be included. They are not trustworthy as proven in the past and unless the story is backed by official confirmation and not denied by Spears' people, please do NOT use Star/Life & Style/US Weekly/In Touch Weekly/OK! Magazine as sources. Soapfan06/June 27/2:55

2007 or 2008?

I think we should decide on one course of action and stick to it, instead of changing it every day. There's three things we can do:

1. Change it to 2008. Many online sources (admittedly, mostly gossip) claim the album is being pushed back to 2008. If you Google Britney's new album that is what you'll find. Also, there is no source so far claiming otherwise. True, some Britney sites have claimed Entertainment Tonight debunked the rumor, but none of them link an actual source. Neither can I find any source, not even on the Entertainment Tonight website. Even the blurb on this article doesn't have a source.

2. Change it to 2007 becauuse supposedly Jive has disconfirmed the rumor etc. I can't find any sources at all for this.

3. Leave it as 2007 because the "2008 change" has no reliable source. However, make no mention at all of the rumor since it is mere speculation with no citable source from Britney's reps.

Until we can decide, I'm at least going to remove any unsourced rumors from the article. --Circasix 23:18, 27 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The album will defiantly be on sale in 2007.--Jak3m 16:03, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Question

If we know the Leslie Sloane Zelnik remark was false, why include it in the article? Seems like a big waste of space. And why exactly was so much useful info taken out of the article? I mean the April appearance of Garrett on E! News confirming 3 tracks had a source (the actual video from youtube) and was the first REAL confirmation of Spears' new songs. Soapfan06/June 30/12:47

I agree about the Zelnik rumor. Also, if you're referring to the changes I made (see "Irrelevant Information" on this page), most of that information was redundant or just unnecessary - e.g., the fact that Britney walked into a studio with someone. It makes more sense to just say she was working with Dr. Luke. --Circasix 17:42, 2 July 2007 (UTC)


Suggestion

I think that we should make a section for tracks that have been confirmed by producers, I mean the tracks are on those producers pages for exapmle "Everybody" is on J.R.'s page and "Impossible" is on Ne-Yo's page so we know that the tracks are real hence those pages have references for them. I don't think the section should be titled track listing, but instead recorded tracks, below is what I think it should look like


Recorded Tracks:

  • Everybody
  • Who Can She Trust
  • Impossible
  • Red Carpet
  • Kiss Me All Over
  • Pull Out
  • Love
  • Rebellion
  • All The Way
  • Get Back
  • Boyfriend
  • Cold As Fire
  • Motherlove
  • Freakshow

and a few others, but you get the idea(M430 July 5th, 2007)

  • No tracks have been confirmed by an official source though. For all we know, I could say that I recorded a track with Britney but what proof do I have? You'll just believe it because I'm a producer and I haven't even been confirmed to have been working with her?

Unless it hasn't been confirmed by Britney or her management, I don't think we should post any tracks.

  • Love has been a confirmed song by E! News and Danja.
Then put a reliable source so it will not perish for deletion. BritandBeyonce 09:01, 29 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
E! News & Danja aren't official sources. Unless it's By Sony BMG, Jive, Or Britney we should just not add any tracks.

Merge

Try merging at least some of this article onto the main page. There are enough sources and confirmation that it is more than dignified to have on the main page. The mentions of her new album are too scarce and too small to notice. Soapfan06 15:47, 11 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]


I totally agree!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (M430 July 12 2007)

i also agree--Jak3m 16:02, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The New single

Whoever put in the section "new single" and all the information that follows. Please provide sources and references as to where the information was obtained from. Thank you. Oidia 05:40, 12 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

New single conformation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just put a link with cold as fire so please don't deleate it in the link T-Pain himself says that cold as fire will be a single and because of that it will appear on the album!!! This is the first conformation of a single/track on the album.

  • First of all, it wasn't confirmed. For all we care, he could say that he's the father of her children, whatever.

Second, you credited britneyexperts.com as your source. So reliable :|

Album release confirmed!!!!!!

I put a link in the article because mtv(They are reliable!!!!!!!) says that Britney's new album is scheduled for a christmas release. Please don't deleate this because mtv is a reliable source!!!!!!Ps: i just added another link saying that rolling stone has also confirmed a christmas release!

  • Mtv is NOT reliable, but whatever, we'll leave it.

Yes, it usually is. However, most sources are still saying a September or November release. Soapfan06 22:05, 13 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sony BMG Germany says November 13th--Jak3m 16:01, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

First single

I just put in the article 3(there a many more) links both saying that britney shot her first music video today. Do not delete this,this is valuable information!!!! It even comes from one of the back-up dancers in the video!!!!Ps: A couple of hours later I added a fourth link!

  • I now even added a Fifth link. This is happening!
  • I've added a sixth link. Again from a very reliable source.
  • I've added a seventh link.
How could you say that it's a reliable source where in fact you credited fan sites of Britney. We need a confirmation from Britney herself or any representatives from Jive. BritandBeyonce 03:54, 20 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

People and Us Magazine are credible sources and they ran stories...this person was right to post. Soapfan06 06:07, 20 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • I did not put Britney fan sites as a source! These are my sources:X17 online, Perezhilton.com,Usmagazine,People,Extra tv and more!
Well, US Magazine is realible. X17, i dont know.BritandBeyonce 10:04, 22 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Freakshow is the lead single. BritandBeyonce 09:45, 2 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]


Magazines are not reliable, at all.--Jak3m 18:28, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Album Names

Did Britney come up with these names or did her fans?

haha. just fans who are so exited with the album. no confirmation yet. BritandBeyonce 06:52, 26 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

actually, britneyspears.com, your telling me thats not a source? Integrity came on top.--Jak3m 15:58, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop!

Adding names of "recorded" songs since Jive and Britney have yet to confirm ANYTHING! These tracks change so much and a lot will probably never make it to the album in the end. Until you have a VALID source, please don't waste your time...it will be deleted! Soapfan06 05:26, 29 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That's right. It will just be deleted from the article because Brit's camp has no confirmation yet. BritandBeyonce 08:59, 29 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

actually, britneyspears.com, your telling me thats not a source? Integrity came on top.


New video

There is NO reason to delete the filming of the video since every entertainment magazine and TV show confirmed Spears was in fact filming those days. It is important to have in the article so stop taking it off from there! 75.57.191.178 22:42, 8 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest that you have a read of Wikipedia:Verifiability, Wikipedia:Reliable sources and Wikipedia:Citing_sources. It's not sufficient to mention 'several media outlets' without naming/sourcing them (so that other users may check them out) and ensuring that their news is actually worth the paper it's written on. --Kurt Shaped Box 22:57, 8 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If you look at other Album articles it doesnt involve anything to do with music videos, save the music video stuff for the song article.--Jak3m 16:13, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Her Music Video

Why are people adding this to the Album article, Videos should be on the song article, just wait for the song and then add it to its page. --Jak3m 16:12, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It has everything to do with the album since videos help promote albums. Please leave it in there. She was filming the first music video of the new album which is a big deal in confirming it is coming out soon. Soapfan06 19:05, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

But it will have to be moved to the songs article in time.--Jak3m 18:42, 10 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]


ALBUM RELEASE

ALBUM TITLE - INTERGRITY

WHAT DO YOU THINK ?! PLEASE COMMENT :D MY NAME IS "Dom10194rules" DON'T BE AFRAID ;)


where did you get this information? Wheres your source?--Jak3m 10:07, 12 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. Where? BritandBeyonce 06:55, 13 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Cleaning up

I think the album page looks messy and that it shoeld be cleaned up

I think it's quite difficult to clean it up until the album is actually released. Right now we have these "edit wars" where editors keep inserting and deleting information. And ultimately creating this messiness. Until we have more reliable sources to confirm the release and details of this album, this article will continue to be messy. Even if someone clean it up, someone else will mess it up again. When there's more sources confirming this ablum, I myself will try and do a clean up. Oidia 06:59, 13 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think we should wait until the album and songs and whatever are confirmed, not long to wait hopefully.--Jak3m 18:22, 13 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think we should actually delete this page. What's the point if the album isn't coming out for several months and we know absolutely nothing? Liloallen19 06:59, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Famous magazine

Britney has now finished filming her video clip for comeback single "Get Back" - admittedly with more than few problems on set, as Brit donned stripper wear for the bump 'n grind shot, which she financed herself as her record company didn't believe the song itself was strong enough.

Source [1]

The majority of the source is useless because it's comparing Britney with the Spice Girls. I personally don't know how reliable Famous Magazine is. But they've clearly stated that Britney has finished filming a video for the first single. Let's see if there's more sources comfirming it, right now I'm not too convinced. Oidia (talk) 03:27, 17 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Didn't realize the article was vandalized, just looked like it was written as a bunch of nonsense thrown together. Apologies. Zchris87v 03:55, 22 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No! We cant delete this article. It's an upcoming album and infos would likely be more speculative, though messy at times. What we need to do is to continuously watch for its updates whether it's applicable or not. BritandBeyonce 11:22, 22 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Actually I was apologizing for a proposed deletion. What I saw when I came here was this, which looked like it deserved deletion. Zchris87v 04:02, 24 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I got your point. The page was really a mess. But it's ok now. I think the one who edited it was a neophyte contributor who do not know what to do. Let's forgive him/her. BritandBeyonce 09:41, 24 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Baby Boy

On August 23rd, a song by Britney Spears called "Baby Boy" leaked (Perez Hilton) and it is now on internet. It is supposed to be a demo for her upcoming album. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 74.13.147.78 (talk) 14:49, August 23, 2007 (UTC)

Who told you it's called BABY BOY? BritandBeyonce 09:42, 24 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

MY GOD!

My Godness, nothing has been confirmed!!!!

nothing at ALL has been confirmed about britney's new album, if there now will be one. I think the entire article should be deleted. welovekes, AUG 29, 2007

Refer to "proposed deletion" section please for your concern. BritandBeyonce 01:20, 30 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

PLEASE be careful with sources

Considering there are already a lot of people who would like to get rid of this article, we need to make sure we are extra careful with our sources and the information we put on this page. We cannot use information on this article unless there is a verifiable source for it. I know many of you have lists of track titles and who produced them, but if you want to include those on the article, you must include a reliable source with them. Not only is it Wikipedia policy, but it makes us look a lot more professional. If we continue to post information that is unsourced or taken from unverifiable sources (gossip websites and discussion boards), we will not only hurt the reputation of Britney Spears editors on Wikipedia, we will also risk getting this article taken away.

We should have a lot of information on this album really soon, so lets keep patient until that day, and then we can revamp this entire article with all of the new stuff. But until then, we have to hold tight until we get some better sources!

Thanks for understanding. --Circasix 23:12, 30 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

What happened???????????????

What happened to the article? It used to have more information!!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.161.253.22 (talk) 02:43, 31 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

People Magazine is not a source

So we either need to find the original source, or delete the release date.Phoenix1304 12:29, 31 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it is. It credits Jive Records. Most reliable thing in this article is this piece of info. Soapfan06 23:54, 31 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No, it isn't. People Magazine is a gossip magazine, and it is reporting the facts, not issuing them. Jive is the only source that is credible for that information. Phoenix1304 22:50, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
People magazine is one of THE MOST reliable and creditable source out there. (out of most celebrity magazines) Oidia (talk) 23:59, 31 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Its still a gossip magazine :/ --Jak3m 23:02, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

People magazine is:

  • published by Time magazine. Time is very reliable.
  • refraining from printing pure celebrity gossip, enough so to lead celebrity publicists to propose exclusives to the magazine, evidence of what one staffer calls it a "publicist-friendly strategy. [9]
  • named "Magazine of the Year" by Advertising Age in October 2005, for excellence in editorial, circulation and advertising. [10]

Sounds convincing to me. Oidia (talk) 23:35, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I guess--Jak3m 23:53, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The reliability is not the issue, here. It could report the facts 100% accurately all the time, but we still cannot cite it as the source. The source, by definition, is the person, company, group, etc. that issues the facts. People Magazine is out, unless you're writing an article about People Magazine.

Leaked songs all over the internet.....

Ubritney.com has 4 leaked songs for her new album supposedly. Should we comment on it. They were leaked on September 3rd and they sound official and they do very much sound like her. They all seem like quality songs. 4 new tracks (they are: Been A While, Got Me High, Everybody and Your...), Some of them are only clips but I still think this is notable assuming it's true and I believe it is. Skinwalker03 01:26, 4 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]


What happened?

Where are all the other producers on the album? Who deleted them? Please don't say nothing ever materialzed with Timbaland and Britney because there is no proff whatsoever saying that. A lot of time artists work descretly to give the element of surprise. Soapfan06 03:03, 4 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
