What is the alleged "Contraversial Material"? I'll make some minor edits but I see nothing wrong. Removing the deletion tag. Siokaos 15:16, 25 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If he has five children with two being daughters and two being sons... what is the 5th child?

Fair use rationale for Image:A 2Pac Tribute Dare 2 Struggle.jpg[edit]

Image:A 2Pac Tribute Dare 2 Struggle.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Alleged bank robber[edit]

All accounts lead to the fact that he's not an alleged bank robber but a convicted armored car robber and accomplice in a prison break and four murders. Shouldn't the lead-in be changed? Claiming someone to be an alleged anything when he's been convicted seems a wee bit disingenuous, doesn't it? Your thoughts before I yield to the temptation to change it?BHenry1969 (talk) 03:29, 20 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Bias and incorrect info[edit]

It says he is the stepfather of Tupac. Then later, in a section clearly written by someone with a bias, it says Tupac is his actual son. The latter is incorrect. It also refers to one of his associates as "comrade" so-and-so, which is clearly something written by one of his fanatical apologists. This kind of ridiculous bias is all over Wikipedia. But whenever I change clearly garbage sentences, they get changed back. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alexandermoir (talk • contribs) 02:19, 7 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
