not trying to be rude
Not trying to be rude, but the grammar and structure of the article borders on unintelligible. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.99.104.124 (talk) 12:29, 16 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Fix it then. Portillo (talk) 11:04, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I've cleaned things up a bit (including removing some stuff that was trivial, confusing, or lacking context) but obviously this still needs some real work. I'll try to flesh this out a bit at some point using Jeff Chang's book and possibly some other sources as well. --Bigtimepeace | talk | contribs 20:20, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

"Spanish Eddie"
If Eddie Vincente is the "Spanish Eddie" referred to in Laura Branigan's song of the same name, it might be interesting to note this. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Kfitzner (talk • contribs).
 * I looked up some sources on this via google books and I think you may be right about that. I get many alternate spelling of his name as Eduardo Vincenti, Vincenty and Vincente.  The first one comes up the most though.  I'm dying to find out the full story about Spanish Eddie supposedly being set up by a corrupt Mayor Lindsay cronie named Ted Gross.  From all the sources, it seems gross went to jail for taking either mob money or kickbacks and that he transferred Spanish Eddie and a bunch of other youth workers on the eve of the peace negotiations in an effort to quash them.  Eddie was then shot in the face in what was a purported assassination attempt.  He did manage to survive but in light of all this, those song lyrics are beginning to make a lot of sense!  I didn't add all this to the article, just what could be cited.  Any help in developing this further with proper documetnation would be greatly appreciated.LiPollis (talk) 06:36, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Added a secition on the 40th Anniversary commemoration in 2011 - more could be said.
I found the onevery long article in the Daily News and cited it but I could use some help digging up any local papers or news coverage of the event from other sources because man, hearing from the still-living guys who were THERE is the BEST primary source for quotes. If somebody wants to re-edit my quick paragraph, feel free. I just found it and wanted it there. Thanks everyone. LiPollis (talk) 14:49, 14 October 2013 (UTC)

Participating gangs
The whole look of the list of participating gangs in all caps is not a very good look, how can this be corrected? Also is there a citation for the participating gangs which could be added? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kaspertech (talk • contribs) 06:23, 27 March 2014 (UTC)

Jeff Chang writes about women being excluded in Can't Stop Won't Stop
Students participating in my WikiEdu Project Hip Hop 50 are doing a local classroom campaign to match our course outcomes. The campaign sits at the intersection of Wiki in Red:


 * ... a group of editors of all genders living around the world focused on reducing systemic bias in the wiki movement. Our Wikipedia WikiProject focuses on creating content regarding women's biographies, women's works, and women's issues. Our editors create articles in many different language Wikipedias. The objective is to turn "redlinks" (like this one) into blue ones. That's why we are called "Women in Red."

Whose Knowledge?:


 * ...a global campaign that centers the knowledges of marginalized communities (the majority of the world) online, including in Wikimedia projects. The Whose Knowledge? user group is open to all people – particularly those who identify as women, LGBTQI folks, people from the global South, and allies around the world – who are interested in addressing systemic bias on Wikimedia projects.

and AfroCrowd, an acronym for Afro Free Culture Crowdsourcing (AfroCROWD):


 * ... is an initiative which seeks to increase awareness and the number of people of African descent who actively partake in the Wikimedia and free knowledge, culture and software movements.

This article could cite probably the first comprehensive history book on early hip-hop by Jeff Chang. Recommend 1-2 students find the section in the book (check library resources or Google books) for the reference to the exclusion of women/girls from the peace treaty meeting. sheridanford (talk) 12:28, 2 February 2024 (UTC)
