Big L

Yes, I really want to collaborate. At first I thought you were vandalizing the article. I know now that you want to help it. That's tight. Anyway, I've heard that 139 & Lenox is an unofficial album before. But I've also heard otherwise. Allmusic says it's an official album on L's Flamboyant Entertainment. Amazon.com says the same thing, too. HipHop DX, a reliable source, claims it to be an official album. Even Billboard says it's an official album. So I'm pretty sure we leave it in the article. I'm not trying to pick on you, it's just that the album is verified as official.

Firstly, sign your posts by using four tildas. Secondly, I've seen that. But in Wikipedia we have to go with what's more reliable. And to be honest, Allmusic, Billboard, and HipHop DX are more reliable that BigLOnline.

By any chance are you a user on biglonline? Anyway, you make a great case. I know that some say it's official and some say it's not. I know The Big Sleep is very knowledge and knows a lot about Big L. However, people here on Wikipedia are going to believe the other sources because of their reliability. What I think we should do is compromise. Maybe have a paragraph explaining what it is, how Rich King released it under Flamboyant without telling Don, and all that. So the readers know exactly what it is: a "bootleg" released on Big L's record label... Sounds strange, I know, but that's pretty much all that I can think of.

Yeah, I'm a part of BigLOnline. My username on there is WikeyWo (don't ask lol). I wish more people posted on there; it's practically dead now. But yeah, 139 & Lenox should be mentioned as an "unofficial official album". You can add it if you back it up with sources. A helpful tip: use {{Cite web}} when citing online sources; it helps out a lot. Also, do you think you could message Big Sleep or possible N69 about working on the Big L article? I'm sure they'd be willing too. If the article passes WP:WIAFA, we can nominate it to the front page for a day.

Yeah, I'm hoping that it will get to the front page so more people can know about L. He's such a beast; everyone should know about him. Well, happy collaborating, and I hope you find everything OK at Wikipedia. If you have any questions, just hit me up.
