Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently tried to give Good Kid, M.A.A.D City a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Good kid, m.A.A.d city. This is known as a " cut and paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is needed for attribution and various other purposes. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.
In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen. Thank you.

Why are people removing revisions on this page for no apparent reason? I believe it's PR people going rampant. All information is true. I will continue to revert revisions that these people are doing incessantly if edits that are factual are removed. 22:57, 17 October 2012 (UTC)
Should the article title not be "good kid, m.A.A.d city" as that is the official title? KANE 14:58, 23 September 2012 (UTC)
you can't just call the page whatever you want, the album is called "good kid, m.A.A.d. city" its not a stylization its the title of the album Wrestlings Savior ( talk) 22:21, 15 October 2012 (UTC)
I agree, I wish we could edit it. edited by Thomas Arnold ( talk) 00:20, 18 October 2012 (UTC)
I've tried editing the formatting of the album title in the article body so that it matches the formatting in the article title, but it's been summarily reverted each time by IP-editors, who are insisting on good kid, m.A.A.d city, citing the artist's Twitter account of all things. I would suggest editing be restricted, as I don't see an end to this. (As usual, as per MOS:ALLCAPS, MOS:TM, Wikipedia:MUSTARD#Capitalization, etc.) Wetdogmeat ( talk) 00:44, 24 October 2012 (UTC)
this is 2nd studio album not his first. but on the list of his albums on the bottom of his page his first album is not noted. does it matter whether it was realsed on an independent or major label? Wayn12 ( talk) 20:23, 26 October 2012 (UTC)
both albums woyld be considered to be debuts. Section .80 his independent debut and good kid, m.A.A.d. city is his major label debut. his website [ [1]] describes Section.80 as an independent album. It also says that Overly Dedicated is an independent album but that must be a typo because we all know it is a mixtape. good kid, m.A.A.d city would be considered his major-label debut because unlike Section.80 released on the independent label (TDE) is not only released on TDE but also majorly distributed through Aftermath-Interscope Records — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.246.80.178 ( talk) 05:01, 29 October 2012 (UTC)
so to say we are both correct. second studio album. but major-label debut both should be included. they both important enough to be mentioned off the top. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.246.80.178 ( talk) 06:15, 29 October 2012 (UTC)
I havent disregarded the fact that it is a 'studio' album. Because it is, that is a known fact. Really it doesn't matter if the text is jarring. The text isn't written to make people 100% comfortable while they read it. It's written to state the facts based off the common knowledge. so it should be considered in the 1st sentence — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.246.80.178 ( talk) 06:45, 29 October 2012 (UTC)
I have the physical copy of this album, and it appears that in this page, it lists the bonus tracks from the deluxe edition as an entire single disc. In fact, the deluxe edition comes in two discs, with the bonus tracks on a separate, bonus disc entirely. Shouldn't we update the tracklist information to reflect this? dattandai ( talk) 04:23, 27 October 2012 (UTC)

Should gangsta rap be removed and/or conscious hip hop be added? This album, despite talking about street life as a prominent theme, rarely exerts the aggression and boastful themes that gangsta rap is known for. Additionally, this albums seems to fit the description of conscious hip hop perfectly, in that it "challenges the dominant cultural, political, philosophical, and economic consensus, and/or comments on social issues and conflicts", when Kendrick challenges the notion of hood violence over the whole album. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.21.212.240 ( talk) 18:28, 14 May 2017 (UTC)
The album is referred to conscious hip hip in places such as rateyourmusic.com where here it has "conscious hip hop" as a primary genre. The album has ~13,000 ratings on rateyourmusic at the time of writing, compared to only about ~1,800 on allmusic, which is used as a source for gangsta rap on this page. Additionally, over 200 users have voted for conscious hip hop as a genre on RYM. Does this constitute adding it to genres? 92.21.194.2 ( talk) 11:00, 20 May 2017 (UTC)
@ Craiko: Yes, I did agree with gangsta rap should be removed. But another editor, named Dan56, has point out that the source says, (Jeffires: "...some kind of elevated gangsta rap..."). Right here. TheAmazingPeanuts ( talk) 11:24, 22 October 2017 (UTC)
