Discussion[edit]

Add any additional comments

Is this move OK with everyone? I don't see any discussion here. If it is I'll take care of it. Ryan Norton ^{T | @ | C} 06:57, 12 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Singles[edit]

Crybaby was released as a double A-side with Can't Take That Away From Me (Mariah's Theme), but there is no mention of it under the Singles section of the box.

Excessive Vandalism[edit]

The chart table for this article has been vandalised so much, that I do not even know where to begin in trying to repair the false and inflated numbers. Certifications are unverified and sales figures are out of this world. I deleted the whole sales table because not one digit in that table was supported by a single reputable source or even a source at all. Only the U.S. section was given a source, but from two unreliable fansites. Something needs to be done and more diligence is needed to end this vandalism in this article.

External links modified[edit]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to 6 external links on Rainbow (Mariah Carey album). Please take a moment to review my edit. You may add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:
