'''''Album''''' (Serbian Cyrillic: Албум, <small>lit.</small> "Album") is the debut/second/third/etc. album by folk singer Artist, released in year, by Studio. Here you can write a short description of the album, write notes such as if it is the only known album in an artist's discography, the rarity of an album, or anything else notable that wouldn't fit in the Background or Release section. Over the course of developing your article, please avoid any and all personal statements like "I think", "you'd think that", "we worked on restoring", etc. | '''''Album''''' (Serbian Cyrillic: Албум, <small>lit.</small> "Album") is the debut/second/third/etc. album by folk singer Artist, released in year, by Studio.

You can write about historical events that occurred that influenced the album like in the case of ''[[Borovo Selo]]'' and ''[[Zbogom oružje]]'' but please do not not bloat the Background section. Provide details in clear and concise manner, summarize whenever possible, and most importantly '''be as impartial as humanly possible'''. In the event that a historical event only affects '''one''' song, however, only make a brief mention of it as seen in [[Ljubo Granata|''Ljubo Granata'']]. If you know the history of the album with the case of ''[[Pravoslavci]]'' or ''[[Ne dam Krajine]]'', no matter how brief, should be added. | You can write about historical events that occurred that influenced the album like in the case of ''[[Borovo Selo]]'' and ''[[Zbogom oružje]]'' but please do not not bloat the Background section.

Use citations whenever possible. If your information comes from a sensitive source and are unable to include it, please make note of it in the submission notes. Getting your information, however, from someone who said that according to this guy his friend of a friend is in possession of the ''Lagao me lagao'' master '''is not a viable source unless backed up by interviews or any other official means.''' '''''If your information comes from rumors or forum posts that has information that hasn't been backed up, refrain from including it.''''' You really think people would do that; Spread misinformation online? In this community, this has sadly happened more times than you'd think. '''''On that note, please read how to properly cite information. We are a secondary (and by extension, unfortunately will be seen as untrustworthy) source, but that doesn't mean you can start shamelessly copy+paste or make information up.''''' There are sources that will show you what not to do when citing/quoting a source.<ref>[https://www.plagiarism.org/article/how-do-i-cite-sources How Do I Cite Sources?.] ''Plagiarism.org''. 7 June 2017.

Writing "For unknown reasons" and "It is speculated that" is okay as long as it is plausible. For example, "Due to the lack of information on the release itself, it is unknown if Dragutin was granted permission to use these songs in the compilation" is okay, but "It is speculated/assumed that Baja intentionally rushed ''[[Idemo dalje]]'' in order to use its poor sales as a tax write-off" is not. Refrain from writing "it is theorized that" or any similar statements. | ||
No information? No problem. Writing about the people involved with the production such as "Album would have Orchestra as the backing band and Lyricist, who worked on Another Album four years prior as the primary lyricist, would return for this album, though with significantly less involvement" is fine. Writing about the album's cover design in a way where its elements are explained is okay. Comparing music styles and the subject matter they cover to previous albums is also okay. It is important, however, to avoid inserting your personal opinion and prevent the usage of weighted words à la a personal review. Something to the effect of "The crude photo-editing of ''Ne damo mi svoje''<nowiki/>'s cover and double-fold may have been due to the lack of resources" is fine, but "The disgusting color gradient used in ''Nedam te!'' really shows how shitty Yugoslavia's GDP was because my grandpa who died before photoshop was invented and who was severely colorblind could coordinate color better" or even "This is one of the worst Yugoslav war albums out there" is not. | No information?

Most importantly, | Most importantly, you don't have anything to add here and/or to the Release section, just put "[TBA]". It is preferable that you don't write something incomplete and informal like "lost media" or "partially found". If English isn't your strong suit, don't worry. | ||
