Wikiproject hiphop announcement
--Chubdub 15:14, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

You seem to know a lot about golden age hip hop lyricism. So do you think that this assesment of Illmatic is accurate?

Effects on lyricism

Despite its disappointing sales figures, Illmatic made a profound impact on the burgeoning hip hop underground circuit, and marked a major stylistic change in hip hop music by introducing a new standard of lyricism [9].' Prior to the album’s release, hip hop lyricism was mostly defined by two popular forms. One was characterized by a fast-paced Ragga-flow accompanied with a whimsical, often nonsensical lyrical delivery (a trendy style that was popularized by the Brooklyn-based groups Das EFX and The Fu-Schnickens), while the other was characterized by a slurred “lazy drawl” that sacrificed lyrical complexity for clarity and rhythmic cadence (a style that was then common among several popular West Coast hip hop artists, particularly Snoop Doggy Dogg).''' However, due to its rhythmically-immaculate verbal pace, as well as its intricately-woven and multi-syllabic internal rhyme patterns, Illmatic inspired several rappers to modify their rapping abilities —bringing a renewed focus on lyricism to hip hop[3]. According to musicologist and pianist, Guthrie P. Ramsey, of the University of Pennsylvania, “It set a benchmark for rappers in an artistic field consumed by constantly shifting notions of ‘realness’, authenticity, and artistic credibility”.

Years on VSE article
I noticed your edit summary stating "these years are real." I've went through and corrected a number of them which are not real. Are these ALL jokes or do I have to verify every addition to see if they're true? If they're not true, that's crossing the line into vandalizing an article and knowingly adding incorrect facts to it. That's not really tolerated on Wikipedia. If you have a source for your years, please alert me to the page, because as I said, many of the things you've presented are simply not correct. Mike H. That's hot 05:51, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

Ethnic groups
I'm sorry for the delay in replying. There is a discussion on the Village Pump page about policy on who should and should not be included on ethnic lists. I thought that as someone who edits such lists, you might want to express your views. Please feel free to e-mail if you would like to discuss further. - Brownlee 17:18, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

The golden age of hip hop for deletion?
I see that The golden age of hip hop is up for deletion. I wonder what you think of this. P.O.N.Y. 17:29, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

Vandalism
Regarding Dorothy Miller: Please do not replace Wikipedia pages with blank content. It is considered vandalism. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. Thanks. N. Harmon 15:48, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Reading the discussion of the Dorothy Miller article, rather than blanking the Dorothy Miller article and creating one for Lillian Miller, what would have been more correct in this case is to move the article from Dorothy to Lillian. Thank you for being bold and getting the article correct and in the right namespace, though. That's the important thing, and the cleanup can be done on the back end easy enough. For future reference, though, completely blanking articles is not best practice. —C.Fred (talk) 14:47, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

Personal Attacks
What personal attacks? IT sounds like you're letting your personal feelings about my racist comments about Iginla cloud your judgement here. --Stukov 20:18, 14 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Hahahaha!! I admitted to making RACIST comments, I never said I was a racist. I have many black friends. You're really overreacting here, sir, and I believe you are just out to get me and JaysCyYoung in any way you can since the Black Cop article survived. --Stukov 20:25, 14 August 2006 (UTC)


 * And punishment has been served. What else do you think you can realistically do? Get off our backs. You're not an admin, and you're overstepping your authority. --Stukov 20:29, 14 August 2006 (UTC)


 * No, if you thought I was serious then you just need to learn to take a joke. --Stukov 20:32, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Birth records
Well, I am a subscriber to Ancestry.com, which has California, Texas, Minnesota and North Carolina birth records (only, unfortunately). As well as all the US censuses prior to and including 1930. This is a free version of the California birth record. These have been incredibly helpful with actor entries and getting the straight story on names/places/dates, and, in fact, have indeed helped us "scoop" and correct out the IMDB's info. If you were born in California, Minnesota, Texas and (but not or) North Carolina, you should be able to find yours. California, as I said, for free. :) Mad Jack 03:36, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

WikiProject Punk music
Whats up? Hi, I'm trying to gather some more interest and support for the WikiProject Punk music. Please check out the topics and lets get our WikiProject to function better. Recently, I've taken an interest in the WikiProject hip hop and I consider that WikiProject to be better developed. I am now writing to usernames on the hiphopWP who might be interested in helping with the punkmusicWP. Hopefully we can all work together to improve articles relating to punk as has been done well with hip hop. Finally, I am trying to gather support and opinions concerning the punk house article and specifically the Theta Beta Potata article which is currently in AfD (x2) at Articles for deletion/Theta Beta Potata (second nomination). Please check it out and voice your opinion. Xsxex 09:13, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

Colbert
My mistake, I apologize. I must have misread the phrase "available until November 16th" as "available on Nov. 16th" when I was looking at the online preview. I'll try and get the magazine today. Sorry I edited in a bit of hurry, and didn't offer a fuller explanation -- there was actually just a discussion about the pronunciation of the name on he talk page a little while ago, which mentions the quote in the Charleston Post article: ''Originally, his name was pronounced COL-bert. "But my dad always wanted to be Col-BEAR ... so he said to us, 'You can be anything you want.' And so we made a choice, and it's about half and half. The girls for the most part are like, 'Get over it, you're Colbert,' but I was so young when this choice was given to us, I think that if somebody woke me up in the middle of the night and slapped me across the face I'd still say Stephen Col-BEAR.''' I believe there's another mention of this in the article's references somewhere, I just need to find where it is exactly. If I'm wrong, and it's just this one, then I suppose it might not be a contradiction; the Charleston Post quote definately seems to imply that he made the switch at the time the choice was offered to him by his father, who died when he was ten, but if he directly said something different in Rolling Stone, it makes sense to go with that. Let me go double check. Again, sorry about the RV. -- Bailey(talk) 16:48, 10 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Okay, I've given it a try in this edit. I still want to add a little to the following paragraph tonight about Colbert's personal politics, so when I do that, I should be be able to rephrase to avoid starting both paragraphs with "although". See if this looks ok to you. -- Bailey(talk)
 * Good change on 'comedically'. Thanks. :-) -- Bailey(talk) 21:53, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.

"Foreign" progams in Category:First-run syndicated television programs
Hi. I noticed that you have been adding the category First-run syndicated television programs to many television shows' pages. I've removed it from the pages of programs that were created for and originally broadcast on networks outside the United States, because I think that categorizing them according to how they were broadcast in the U.S. is inappropriately U.S.-centric — see my discussion at Category talk:First-run syndicated television programs. I'm dropping you a line here because I wasn't sure whether you would see the comment on the category talk page — but I thought you should know before you add the category to any more "foreign" TV show articles. Thanks. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 05:12, 16 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi. We've got someone willing to give us a third opinion about this, but he'd like a summary of our arguments first.  Just letting you know. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 04:03, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

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 Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.

Unspecified source for Image:A835d250fca046db8a615010.L.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:A835d250fca046db8a615010.L.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self-no-disclaimers tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Fair use, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following [ this link]. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 04:47, 25 May 2007 (UTC).

Fair use rationale for Image:Ssg-uma-16cc.gif
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Ssg-uma-16cc.gif. 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 Wikipedia articles 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. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at 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 you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. 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.BetacommandBot 07:52, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

MrBlonde What is Your Problem???/
I don't understand bro, you just delete information at your discretion.

Why did you delete the following from the Stage 5 page of the Sopranos

His crew consists of Frankie played by George Pogatsia and Nicky played by Lenny Ligotti.

For what reason, did those two actors not play the roles in the movie Cleaver which was featured in the episode Stage 5. Who gave you the authority to just delete factual and valid information.

And where does it say under Wikipedia rules that Youtube links are not allowed

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Greetings gruesse 5121.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Greetings gruesse 5121.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not.

Unspecified source for Image:B000A7DVO0.01. SCLZZZZZZZ .jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:B000A7DVO0.01. SCLZZZZZZZ .jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Fair use, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following [ this link]. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 17:24, 2 July 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. —Angr 17:24, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

An apology
Firstly, I am incredibly sorry I acused you of vadalism. I didn't mean to so broard, nor to cause offense.

Second, I did look at the edits you removed but I admit I only glanced at them - I was mainly noticing the inexplicable removal of a character - but seeing as I've not watched this show (Sopranos) from the beging - that character may have been no existent or something, but I have seen other genuine vandles remove real characters from list because they don't like them. I simply assumed you where one of them for whcih I hurrdedly apologies. I have just looked at their eddits and they have indeed removed character I know are real. Again I am sorry I didn't notice that, and pointed the finger at you. Also the reson I put a "sp?" next to vandalizing" is because I am dyslexia (sp?) and although I usually put my words through a spell check - don't always have time. And there was not other word I could have used.

Once again: I am sorry. MJN SEIFER 12:08, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Comatose
Firstly I am pleased that you accepted my apology, and yes feel free to revert my edits.

How ever regarding comatose I have heard from profesionals (sp?) that comatose doesn't mean "coma". Although a lot of people seem to think it does. Unless of course it has a double meaning.

And yes I have read what you gave me but I don't trust Dictonary.com anymore. They have stated that their is no diiference between "Logging Off" and "Logging Out". When there is. Thankyou for the advice though. MJN SEIFER 20:50, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
