obviously this page could be expanded as well as edited, your help would be appreciated. Realferrari 09:08, 28 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Can we all agree this sounds nothing like an encyclopedia entry? Reminds me of a biography on MTV News.

I definitely agree 68.220.113.183 04:48, 26 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

How is it not obvious that it sounds like marketing? It's also been obviously stolen from some other website. I am not going to bother fixing this article, though. I have enough articles to take care of. Stiles 04:49, 27 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I looked at this article and can clearly tell that this article was not originally written by a wikipedia contributor. Someone needs to edit it into their own words. Jmfh3733 11:22, 27 June 2006

Does it look a lil bit better to yall? 72.146.193.242 00:48, 2 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanx a lot to who ever revised the page, it looks a hell of a lot better.Darkneonflame 05:19, 2 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This page looks awfull...300 people have added the song to their myspace pages??? False, it's much higher...and who cares? It says that it will be released in September...and then it says in July. Someone fix this garbage article.

Plagiarism?[edit]

This entire paragraph is taken word for word from his myspace page:

"Born in the notorious Bankhead Court housing project, Young Dro grew up the second oldest of his mother’s five boys and somewhere amongst the middle seven of his father’s 21 children. Although his mother did the best that she could to keep a roof over their heads, Young Dro spent much of his childhood drifting from one housing complex to the next." 65.31.162.216 08:38, 5 August 2006 (UTC)Toddy[reply]

Put it into your own words 68.154.17.39 01:43, 6 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

THIS IS FROM A XXL ARTICLE!

Fixed it a little bit.

Orphaned references in Young Dro[edit]

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Young Dro's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 20:55, 19 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
