Taylor Swift (album)[edit]

You made some changes to Taylor Swift (album) that were in no offense, a bit ignorant. The lead is not "unnecessarily lengthy". Per Wikipedia:Lead section#Length, if an article has around 30,000 characters, "three or four paragraphs" and the article has three paragraphs in the lead. Per Wikipedia:Lead section#Citations, citations are not used in the lead section. Also, you said that the article is biased and has material violating Wikipedia:Neutrality. It does not. The article never says anything such as, "Taylor Swift is the best album ever and everyone in the world should buy it." That is a violation of the guideline. What you are probably having troubles with is the use of the word "success" and its not on Wikipedia:Weasel words, therefore being acceptable for use. Many Featured Articles and Good Articles use the word "success", like 4 Minutes (Madonna song), 7 Things, and many more. -- ipodnano05 * ^{leave@message} 22:10, 19 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry if you were offended; I apologize for that.

First, as for the "Background" section, I'll remove her birth date but the rest of information is important since Taylor Swift is her debut album.
You are right about the awards, since, the nomination was for her as an artist. I'll remove it.
It is necessary to say she looked for other producers because it summarizes the "Recording" section.
The sentence speaking of the genres is not long and is important to have in the lead. Just because it's in the infobox does not mean anything. It still needs to be stated in the lead text.
I'll rephrase the sentence that has the word "spun" if it pleases you.

Is this O.K. with you? -- ipodnano05 * ^{leave@message} 19:46, 20 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Assembled, I see that you are a relatively new editor and I wanted to be one of the people who welcomes you here. Wiki is an all volunteer affair and newcomers are very much needed to make the project a success. My experience with you so far is that you are polite, civil and like to collaborate. These are great qualities for a Wiki editor and I look forward to working with you on the Letourneau article. Cheers!-- — Keithbob • Talk • 15:39, 2 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
