Los Super Amigos[edit]

Was this even ever released? --Pasajero 20:59, 4 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Found this. Nicky Jam says it never came out (2:10-2:15). It's the second video from top to bottom. --Pasajero 22:56, 9 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Black Carpet.png[edit]

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.

"Musical career" - Section[edit]

Some of this article might be a matter of personal opinion, and not facts. Some of it may not be fact, unless references are cited?

- "Unfortunately an incident caused him and Daddy Yankee to end their friendship.but later on they got connected again.

I've changed the grammar and spacing on this, I'm only bringing it up, because wiki is supposed to be unbiased, and neutral in point of view. I think this first showed up in this edit "05:19, 1 April 2010 72.75.9.207". Just requesting references to see what is fact, and what is talk.--~Kukulcanessa~ (talk) 05:40, 27 May 2010 (UTC)[reply] 

- as another note, I just realized this entire Article does not contain one single reference --~Kukulcanessa~ (talk) 05:43, 27 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Disputed[edit]

His date and place of birth seems to be different on different sources. According to Apple (iTunes), he was born "February 25, 1980 in Dominican Republic." However, according to his PR website, he was born in Boston, Massachusetts on March 17, 1981 (Original Spanish: "Nick Rivera Caminero mejor conocido como Nicky Jam nacido él 17 de marzo de 1981 en Boston"). At first, I doubted that it was his actual PR website, until I saw his verified Facebook page listing it. Does anyone know which one is correct? -Tony Tan98 · talk 02:11, 15 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This website seems to be supporting Apple's version: "February 25, 1980, in the Dominican Republic." -Tony Tan98 · talk 02:17, 15 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Tony Tan 98:, I went ahead and changed it to what Allmusic states since it's a reliable source while official websites and Facebook generally aren't. Erick (talk) 02:58, 13 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Huh? Official websites and verified Facebook pages will always have official information (whether it's true or not) hence the "official" part. And AllMusic is NOT a reliable source; it's bios are always written based on info taken from the Internet. Take Jay Sean's AllMusic page, which is reporting a 1981 birth and has already been debunked lol. AyanP (talk) 01:43, 7 February 2015 (UTC)Ayan[reply]

In his most recently published video he mentions Lawrence Massachusetts as his place of birth. More specifically 16 Green Street Lawrence Mass 01841 Robvill86 (talk) 22:27, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 23 December 2018[edit]

Please change Filmography section from "All I want for christmas is you" to "The Keys of Christmas". Nicky Jam is not in "All I want for christmas is you".

"The Keys of Christmas": https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6420742/ "All I want for christmas is you": https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6678950/?ref_=nv_sr_2 2A02:A03F:52FA:7800:B526:6240:6858:207F (talk) 23:56, 23 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Nicky Jam musical genres[edit]

Someone could remove Nicky Jam's musical genres in the line from the paragraph to the article that I was editing hours ago while removing the references added several times by the Indian user, since when trying to correct the article came Cyphoidbomb (one of the administrators of English Wikipedia) reversed my edition and protected it if I never do vandalism, but since Cyphoidbomb doesn't care, I have decided to open the discussion page in the original article so that they come to revert the latest stable version.

Thanks for your attention. 148.101.35.160 (talk) 21:25, 15 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Xhubham mishra: This discussion appears to involve content that you submitted at least once. I urge you to participate in the discussion. If you choose not to, you will not have properly established consensus for the changes you've made. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 21:52, 15 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Cyphoidbomb: I don't think he is going to participate in the discussion because of what I recently see in the edition history on this page he is still editing but correcting that, some junk references and repeated references, that's why I insist that you remove Nicky Jam's musical genres in the paragraph in the introduction of the article and put his nationality back, it is very uncomfortable. 148.0.118.170 (talk) 17:26, 28 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Uncomfortable? Huh? I have notified Xhubham mishra on their talk page that they should participate in this discussion. If they don't, say, in a week (provided that they're editing regularly) then I'll restore the change you prefer. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 18:02, 28 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I hope the situation has now been resolved. –Skywatcher68 (talk) 22:35, 26 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Basilisk4u: Looking good!

  • No license issues for pics
  • Refs -- Link Billboard on first instance and remove any duplicates
  • Add accessdate to refs 31 and 40

That should be it. Placing on hold. --truflip99 (talk) 15:09, 17 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Perfect, I made the changes and I think I caught all the duplicate Billboard links. Let me know if there's anything else I should do. Thanks so much for the review :) Basilisk4u (talk) 15:55, 17 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
