It's Dark and Hell Is Hot
Hey Static, it's Shallowharold here. I went on the page of the DMX album and noticed the production credits were very wrong. So I went to correct them by way of the liner notes inside the CD. I added in who were the song's actual producers and assigned co-production and additional production credits accordingly. I hope this isn't an issue- I just noticed that there were a few producers and samples listed that were incorrect. Shallowharold (talk) 03:12, 31 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Thanks, in the future just use your edit summary to explain this, you would be surpirsed how many people try to make up things on here. STATic message me!   06:41, 2 April 2014 (UTC)

I'm not surprised at all, Static. I've seen them add things to articles even after they have been provided references and citations from reliable sources. Case in point: I once went back and forth with a person editing Toni Braxton & Babyface's album Love, Marriage & Divorce. They put in songwriting credits from someone that clearly wasn't listed in the credits. I pointed out to them to look at the sources and citations I provided and they STILL made the edit listing the name of the person that wasn't listed in the credits, SMH.

WikiCup 2014 March newsletter
A quick update as we are half way through round two of this year's competition. WikiCup newcomer (Pool E) leads, having produced a massive set of featured pictures for Silver certificate (United States), an article also brought to featured list status. Former finalist (Pool G) is in second, which he owes mostly to his work with historical images, including a number of images from Urania's Mirror, an article also brought to good status. 2010 champion (Pool C) is third overall, thanks to contributions relating to naval history, including the newly featured Japanese battleship Nagato. , who currently leads Pool A and is sixth overall, takes the title for the highest scoring individual article of the competition so far, with the top importance featured article Ian Smith.

With 26 people having already scored over 100 points, it is likely that well over 100 points will be needed to secure a place in round 3. Recent years have required 123 (2013), 65 (2012), 41 (2011) and 100 (2010). Remember that only 64 will progress to round 3 at the end of April. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page; if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points equally. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on WikiCup/Reviews.

Chiodos "Devil" Edit
I added the review for New Transcendence to the Chiodos "Devil" page and you removed it, claiming it wasn't a professional site. I had received the album from the label and wrote the review, so I figured it should be here. I just want to know the reason why we're not considered a professional site. Thank you for your time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DeathMountainDew (talk • contribs) 05:32, 1 April 2014 (UTC)

Only Girl (in the World)
I asked User:Andrzejbanas for help to improving genre and composition section but he can't do it, and User:Calvin999 won't allow me to edit. Entertainment Weekly says "Europop dance cut". There's Pitchfork says "an electro take on "Funkytown"-style riffing on the verses, Euro-pop catharsis everywhere else-- moves "Only Girl" into classic disco territory, which is a nice relief from modern dance pop's congested take on four-to-the-floor thump."  183.171.176.164 (talk) 07:42, 2 April 2014 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Stay Trippy
Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Stay Trippy you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days.

Copyright templates
Hi. I've reverted your edits to Mac & Devin Go to High School. As the template itself says, "Do not restore or edit the blanked content on this page until the issue is resolved by an administrator, copyright clerk or OTRS agent." You are welcome to rewrite the content if you feel it appropriate in the temporary space linked from the template itself. If you feel the content is not a copyright issue, you can also explain that at the copyright problems board listing (linked from the template as well). But the template is not to be removed or the content restored pending closure of that listing. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 02:25, 3 April 2014 (UTC)


 * This revised version of the plot is far from a copyright violation of and I would seriously like to see you try and explain how it is. STATic  message me!   02:55, 3 April 2014 (UTC)


 * You're welcome to debate the tag - you are simply not welcome to remove it and restore the content or modify it within the article.


 * However, what you're showing there is a clearly derivative work. Let's take two sentences from the center for example. The source says:
 * He finds an unlikely inspiration in Mac Johnson (Snoop Dogg), the least achieving student on campus. Mac, a 15-year senior and consummate ladies man, is smitten with the school's new substitute chemistry teacher.


 * The article as you link it says:
 * He finds an unlikely inspiration in the oldest student on campus, Mac Johnson. Mac, a tenth year senior, player and heavy marijuana user, is overtaken by the school's new substitute chemistry teacher Ms. Huck.


 * Not only is the structure retained, but so is much of the language. Close paraphrasing discusses such issues and how to address them. If you want to rewrite the plot summary, you are welcome to do so in the temporary space, but you are unlikely to be successful if you try to do it by changing words and phrases within the existing structure. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 03:01, 3 April 2014 (UTC)


 * So make the entire article look quite shitty over two sentences? A sentence that is not closely paraphrased at all.. The structure is not the same. I even used a plagiarism checker right now and the only hits it got was to Wikipedia and Wiki mirrors, none to the iTunes link you provided. But let me play your game, how about "Soon he befriends the oldest student on campus, Mac Johnson. Mac, a tenth year senior, player and heavy marijuana user, is simultaneously smitten by the school's new substitute chemistry teacher Ms. Huck." How about that? STATic message me!   03:12, 3 April 2014 (UTC)


 * The whole thing is closely paraphrased, STATicVapor. I plucked those two sentences out at random. The material started as a copy-paste; what we have now is a clearly derivative work based on modifications of the original text. This is not an acceptable use of copyrighted source material.


 * The article is now listed at WP:CP. The listing will remain open for at least a week pending closure. During that week, you can rewrite it. But it must be rewritten from scratch. You cannot modify the existing, copyrighted description to build your own. The temporary space is the place where the rewrite goes, and if you think that what exists is not a copyright problem, you explain that at Copyright problems/2014 April 2. If you happen to do a complete rewrite before the week is over and want review sooner, you're welcome to request it. We sometimes have a backlog at that page, but I'd be happy to look at it earlier or ask another admin to do so. Alternatively, if no usable rewrite is proposed, the plot will be removed. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 03:17, 3 April 2014 (UTC)

About the article "Sharaf Qaisar", Which no more exists, despite it being reviewed/revised.
The article Sharaf Qaisar which, I agree, was a re-post. But the deficiencies it consist previously, which indeed were discussed in Articles for deletion/Sharaf Qaisar too, were completely removed. These made the article in accordance with proposed guidelines of Wikipedia. Article doesn't had, even an indication, of promotion or advertisement. Still, wiki administration deleted it. I condemn! Syed Jamal Ahsan (talk) 08:39, 3 April 2014 (UTC)


 * Condemn all you want, the article was deleted because the subject is not notable, as they fail WP:GNG. Do not recreate until they have received significant independent coverage in reliable sources. STATic message me!   16:07, 3 April 2014 (UTC)


 * The article Sharaf Qaisar may lack notability etc... but the artist don't. I intended to write it again, more accurately, with more refrences & reliable sources, so that it can meet Wikipedia's notability requirements: "WP:MUSICBIO and WP:GNG". Please, guide me when I'll able to publish it again? Syed Jamal Ahsan (talk) 04:18, 5 April 2014 (UTC)


 * You can work on it at User: Syed Jamal Ahsan/Sharaf Qaisar, however if you do not want to risk deletion, do not move it to the main article space until the subject meets WP:MUSICBIO and/or WP:GNG. STATic message me!   21:13, 6 April 2014 (UTC)

Anchorman 2 editing reverts
Hey! Why did you change everything around in the Cast section? The characters introduced themselves! That wasn't right! Why?Christopher K. Howell (talk) 20:49, 6 April 2014 (UTC)


 * You are the only one that changed anything, is there a reliable source for your changes? Ever since the film was released different editors had credited Kanye West as three different MTV people. STATic message me!   21:09, 6 April 2014 (UTC)


 * What do you mean reliable source? I watched the DVD. It's just... in the fight scene, it was Sacha Baron Cohen, Kanye West, Tina Fey, Amy Poheler, Jim Carrey, and others in cameos that introduced the characters. Would that count as reliable source... or not? Christopher K. Howell (talk) 02:40, 7 April 2014 (UTC)


 * The film alone can't be used as a source for such things, particularly when they aren't things an audience would recognize right away. They need to be supported by independent sources like reviews or something. XXSNUGGUMSXX (talk) 04:58, 7 April 2014 (UTC)


 * I'm not so sure what it means. What do you mean, "independent sources"? Christopher K. Howell (talk) 06:22, 8 April 2014 (UTC)


 * Independent sources = sources not affiliated with production, writing, etc. of the subject. In other words, someone who was not involved in the creation process. XXSNUGGUMSXX (talk) 06:23, 8 April 2014 (UTC)


 * Oh. I see. Wow, bummer. So there's no alternative to this? Christopher K. Howell (talk) 15:24, 8 April 2014 (UTC)

Hello
STATic I have a feeling there are some IP which might belong to Reece as socks. I just expanded the article "G.U.Y." and some IP blatantly changed the mixed review to rave reviews. Would you mind checking the IP? — Indian: BIO · [ ChitChat ] 05:09, 7 April 2014 (UTC)


 * Well I do not have Check User rights, so I would not be able to. Judging that that edit was the IPs only edit, I do not believe there is enough to go off of. The thing is, it could not be him using his personal IP, because he was just blocked for sockpuppetry, so his IP should be autoblocked. Funny how I pegged the Reece sock on the Artpop talk page immediately, he makes it so obvious. If that IP or IPs in similar range continue such antics, then let me or User: Ponyo (the admin that performed the CU that confirmed Reece's sock) know.

A possible FA
STATic,

I've been trying to improve the Eminem article so it can become FA, and thought maybe you'd be able to help given your work on his article, albums, songs, and such. Should it go through a peer review first? I saw this once was nominated for FA but wasn't promoted, then got a peer review followed by a successful GAN. Thought we'd get this up to an even higher standing. Perhaps..... it could be the "Today's featured article" for his 42nd birthday this upcoming October 17th if promoted in time?

XXSNUGGUMSXX (talk) 05:02, 8 April 2014 (UTC)


 * That sounds like a great idea, and I appreciate the work on the article. I am always open to helping in anyway. I do believe that it should go through a peer review first, just inform that it is your intention to take it through FAC. I have never taken an article up to FA status so this would be quite interesting if we could get it to that point. STATic message me!   07:25, 8 April 2014 (UTC)


 * Will do! XXSNUGGUMSXX (talk) 13:52, 8 April 2014 (UTC)

My apology
In regards to Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues, I am sorry for making the Cast changes in the cameo section. I thought maybe I could, you know, put the character's names down there. I didn't realize about the reliable source you guys needed to approve this. So I am sorry about that. --Christopher K. Howell (talk) 15:31, 8 April 2014 (UTC)


 * No problem, it would not be controversial if it was not for several different users writing what their "character" was, most of the time saying a different name. STATic message me!   20:39, 8 April 2014 (UTC)

Reece sock
Can you revert the sock's additions on "G.U.Y."? I've had enough of that user's nonsense and I don't wanna get dragged into WP:EW since I have reverted twice. — Indian: BIO · [ ChitChat ] 16:31, 8 April 2014 (UTC)


 * Glad to see the IP has now been blocked. Sorry I could not get there sooner. I will watchlist the page in case he returns. STATic message me!   20:53, 8 April 2014 (UTC)


 * It's a sad situation which has developed and I particularly feel bad because I had kept enough Good faith for Reece, but turns out he's just another nuisance. — Indian: BIO · [ ChitChat ] 06:09, 9 April 2014 (UTC)

Possible Deja Vu
I'm sure you remember quite clearly how things were with 's repeated warring and evasion, and am tempted to say that Reece is headed in the same type of direction. As much as I hope Reece has better intentions than that, it feels too similar. IndianBio filed an SPI which led to an IP block for ban evasion. XXSNUGGUMSXX (talk) 19:00, 8 April 2014 (UTC)


 * Well it is what those type of users do, the most disruptive ones always return, it becomes something of an obsession I guess. I saw the SPI, and I am glad to here that the IP address was blocked. Is it the last we have heard of him? Probably not. STATic message me!   20:46, 8 April 2014 (UTC)


 * I doubt Reece will leave Wikipedia after this block, though I don't want him to make the same mistakes Monterrosa did. If it keeps up and he gets indefinitely blocked, your interaction ban might not apply anymore, but don't quote me on that. XXSNUGGUMSXX (talk) 20:56, 8 April 2014 (UTC)


 * Pretty sure it does in general, but if I am reporting a sockpuppet or reverting a sockpuppet, I doubt it. I will have to ask someone, but either way I do not believe anyone would complain considering the circumstances. He gets caught once or twice more and it will probably be indefinitely. STATic message me!   21:03, 8 April 2014 (UTC)


 * Also, looks like Monterrosa was just at it again and got blocked. Winkelvi is quite the diligent tracker. I've asked Winkelvi if he'd be able to help track any further socks Reece might make. XXSNUGGUMSXX (talk) 06:56, 9 April 2014 (UTC)

100s Wiki Page
Hello, my apologies for the lack of regulations followed on my behalf, I am new to Wikipedia and have only been taught a few things about how everything works! I am a good friend of 100s and received a text from him earlier today explaining his dissatisfaction with some of the things included. Not that anything offended him personally, or that I'm trying to insert some of his own wishes into this article, I was simply going in and trying to change/update some of the things I observed. If you would be interested in collaborating to make this process go quickly I would be more than happy to talk with you on ventrilo/skype or whatever! Again, my apologies for being a noob. Thanks! --Adamberson510 (talk) 00:46, 9 April 2014 (UTC)


 * No problem bro. But what is incorrect? A few things in your edits I had a problem with were, the lead was written much better before (no need to put so much emphasis on the producers of the mixtape in the lead, it is about 100s not about his team), you removed everything about his stay in Africa which is all supported in this interview, coming straight from his mouth. You removed every mention of the origionally announced second mixtape Sex Symbols (which im guessing just transformed into Ivry, but still worth mention, especially since the quote related to the influences definitely transferred over to Ivry). It is all worth noting when telling the story. This information is attributed to several interviews and reliable sources including and . You moved information around so it was no longer in chronological order (which it should be) and you changed "100s wrote his first song in 2008" to "100s wrote for the first time in 2008" and I do not think he wrote for the first time in his life in 2008 lol. STATic  message me!   00:58, 9 April 2014 (UTC)


 * I was on the phone with the interviewer and 100s during his first interview with Metrojolt, and I used to write a lot for that blog as well (you can find me credited for the hook-up at the bottom of the interview). If you are able to chat about this with me via mic I would be able to provide you with the full picture! I have ventrilo, skype, and g-chat. --Adamberson510 (talk) 01:14, 9 April 2014 (UTC)


 * It is not that I do not believe you, I do. I have talked to many friends of (and actual artists before). However, I would not be able to communicate that way at the moment (or anytime soon really), so if you could just type out and explain why this information should be removed. As far as I see, it is backed by reliable sources, the most controversial being backed by interviews. STATic message me!   01:30, 9 April 2014 (UTC)


 * Haha no worries, I understand your reluctance! He texted me about this earlier today as he was concerned about being mis-represented and wondered if I would be able to correct some of the inconsistencies or mis-understandings located within this page. If you'd like to talk to him on the phone about this, i'm sure he'd be more than happy to straighten everything out though it seems you are unavailable to do so at the time. Below are some of the things I would love for you to take into consideration!

Essentially, there are a few things that are incorrect or mis-interpreted, whether he initially said them in his interviews or not. Everything about Africa is fine, though there's a section I'd like you to add at the end and correct a few things in the process. The section is as follows: After his attempt at escape, he was sent to the small town of Bouaflé where he lived with his uncle. Not long after, him and his uncle's family moved to Yamoussoukro, and he soon returned to the United States in late 2010. (Also, he had malaria more than 5 times, so best to say he contracted it a number of times)

You also put his parents in a very bad light, and much of the negative criticism towards them is not needed. I don't personally feel comfortable explaining the entire story to somebody he doesn't know as it is still a touchy subject to this day, though I'll touch on it for you to provide some context. To summarize candidly, there was an ongoing exterior event occurring within his family and his parents felt it best to remove their son from the setting at the time in Berkeley. In other words, their decision to send him to Africa was not a result of his poor behavior, or a result of anything he did. Therefore, his parents decision to send him away was a very hard one, and yes he felt a lot of anger towards them at the time, but in my opinion (and I know 100s shares this opinion with me as well) their decision was justified considering all of the circumstances. HE LOVES HIS PARENTS and feels he would never purposely criticize their decision. (That last statement comes directly from him).

Also, If there's any way you could change to picture to anything other than an action shot of him, perhaps more updated, that would be great as well. Thanks for your reading and hopeful consideration!


 * Thanks a lot for detailing everything. Took me awhile to respond as I just got done writing Sincerely Yours (Iamsu! album). It kinda sucks when there is only about 3 active editors that can write decent articles on hip hop subjects, that is why 100s took so long to get an article aha.
 * Okay good, I did not want to misinterpret how his early life was at all, as it did seem quite interesting to me. I adjusted the end of that section to what you said as I would not like to get little facts like that wrong, and good to know when he returned to the US. Oh and very sorry about that, I did not mean to any way shed a negative light on them at all, I only took what 100s said in the Vice interview, not in any way attempting to say that he hates his parents or has a bad relationship with them. As I type this I am attempting to correct any wrong in that paragraph, does it look good now?
 * As for the picture, unfortunately we can only use free images. I was lucky to find that single image of him buried in a ASAP Ferg concert gallery on Flikr. For more information on our policy on that you should read Image use policy. In all, thanks for bringing this to my attention early, I never wanted to make 100s feel any negative thoughts about the page, it took me quite awhile to write it and I am a huge fan of his. Make sure you let him know that it was not my own words that caused the page to seem to shine his parents in a negative light, it would be the sources I used to write the article and I apologize again for any possible misinformation. I just felt as if 100s deserved a biography on himself and I wanted to write it as detailed and informative as possible. STATic message me!   06:29, 9 April 2014 (UTC)


 * {{ping|STATicVapor} Really appreciate your edits!! Also - Would you mind adding the following genres? This comes from 100s himself as well: R&B. Neo-Soul, Funk and Disco.
 * His birthday is November 26, 1992. I really find it hard to believe that the picture you found is the only "free" image that follows wikipedia's copyright policies and such, I can definitely find other concert photos of him from SXSW etc...He would really appreciate it!!! Thanks again man! --Adamberson510 (talk) 18:25, 9 April 2014 (UTC)


 * On the genres, we usually try to limit the genres in the infobox to a select few. That is why if you see any article on a rapper, they will only list hip hop, the reasons those genres would be undue weight is because you would not see this conversation. "Have you heard of 100s? Yeah the "... artist" Would he be considered "a R&B, Neo-Soul, Funk or Disco artist"? The last EP had influences of those genres, but he is not well known for being a primary performer of those genres. I think g-funk easily covers the connection between his rapping and Neo-Soul, Funk, Disco influences in his music. Thanks for the birthday tho, I could not find it anywhere. It may be sad, but search Flikr or other similar sites yourself, I had to look really hard to even find that one. If you read Image use policy in there I believe you will be able to find information on how he can release images user free license, and then be able to upload them. Or all you really would have to do is personally take a picture of him and WP:UPLOAD it. STATic message me!   21:45, 9 April 2014 (UTC)


 * Thanks for all your help man! He actually performed up here in Vancouver last night and I got to kick it with him for a bit and talk about this ordeal. Essentially, if you EVER come across a different "free" photo of him he would love you to use that instead. Also, sex-symbol was scrapped so in my opinion it'd be best to just delete any references to that in the page. Again, thanks so much, he really appreciates all of this! If you're actually a fan let me know when he comes to your city and i'll see what I can do to get you on the list! 100s would be happy to return the favor. --Adamberson510 (talk) 17:02, 11 April 2014 (UTC)


 * That's awesome bro, I am sure he has a pretty awesome live show. I'll have to catch one in the So Cal area sometime. I will also make sure to search Flikr every once in awhile in case any new image pops up. As for Sex Symbols, it is all apart of his career whether it was scrapped, shelved, renamed or whatever. The relevance most being as that his idea for the project surly carried over to IVRY, based off how he described it in interviews. Since he has not been famous that long the article is already kinda short, so no need to make it shorter. I am really glad to hear that tho! I put quite a bit of work in it. STATic message me!   05:16, 12 April 2014 (UTC)


 * For sure, great work man! It makes me sad and inspired to hear that Wikipedia is in need of more editors, though I don't nearly have the tech-savvy skills to write wiki articles yet, just took a class where we made our own pages for a project and that was hard enough!! Also -- Photos taken from the event he performed at and uploaded to the nightclub's facebook page wouldn't be considered "Free" would they? --Adamberson510 (talk) 16:59, 13 April 2014 (UTC)


 * At least in hip hop that is aha. I took a class where we had to do that before, I can understand how hard it could be. Wiki can get hard to use at first, but once you get used to it, it is really easy. If you contacted the club and asked them to either 1) release them under a "free license", upload them to Commons or give you permission to upload them there, or upload them to Flikr or a similar site under a "creative commons" license. Sorry if it seems excise, Wikipedia just takes copyrights very seriously, and with images it has to be clear that they are free for anyone to use. STATic message me!   18:39, 13 April 2014 (UTC)

 * {{ping|STATicVapor} Hello again! Hope all is well. There's a few things that 100s wanted changed. First, his birthday never got changed (born in '92 not '93) and second, he will not be releasing his debut album on Fools Gold and doesn't know where you got that information from; it is false information. He's been receiving inquiries about it and would it to stop! I am going to go in and make these minor changes I have outlined, if you spot a mistake that I made please go ahead and fix it. Thanks again! Adamberson510 (talk) 17:59, 1 June 2014 (UTC)


 * Pardon me jumping in, but I just undid Adamberson510's edits. We've got a published source saying he was born in 1993; where is the 1992 date supported? For that matter, where is his date of birth supported; the source we're using only gives a year. (I've got a thread going at Talk:100s (rapper) about that.)
 * As for the debut album: we've got a source saying he'll release something in 2014. Is it so vague that we just want to leave it out until something more substantial comes to the press about a new album (i.e., hit that section of text out of the article with a WP:HAMMER)? —C.Fred (talk) 21:56, 1 June 2014 (UTC)


 * I am a long-time friend of 100s and worked with the person who created his wikipedia page initially, : : to correct some of the misunderstandings or misinterpretations that were represented before. If you scroll up, i'm sure you will understand my position. At that time, I was contacted by 100s via text message to see if I would be able to fix some of the mistakes portrayed on his newly created Wikipedia page. Yesterday and again this morning I was contacted by him again as to why his birth-year still hadn't been changed to 1992 (as he was born in '92 not '93 and is 21, what cited source is reporting that he was born in '93?), and asking if I could get someone to take down the bit about his next album being released on Fools Gold this year, because he currently doesn't have a timetable for when it will be finished or released. If you need screenshots, I've got 'em.


 * Ah I see it was from a Pitchfork article, sorry I am new to Wikipedia and still learning how to be a real Wikipedia user. Took a class recently in University that taught us to create our own page, so I've only learned the basics. Thanks for bearing with me! I'm not sure where Pitchfork concocted the fact that he was born in '93 but the correct year is 1992. Again, not sure how to actually show them to you in a discreet manner (if you have email I would gladly email them to you), but I can take some SS's of our text conversation to prove what I am saying.


 * It was The BoomBox that said he will make his debut on Fools Gold during 2014, however if that is not the case I shall remove it. STATic message me!   04:43, 2 June 2014 (UTC)

WP:BRD on Daniel Bryan
I'm not the one that added it, it was only brought to my attention from a recent edit. But on to the matter at hand, why is it not standardized, then? I don't see a country in the infoboxes for John Cena, Randy Orton, Big Show, Dolph Ziggler - I can go on and on. Obviously it was not my intention to edit war because, as I said, this is not standardized and I imagined my revert of your revert would've explained that. I believe the idea is that U.S. cities and states are at first glance obvious to the reader that they are from the United States. Until this is on every single U.S.-based wrestler's infobox, I don't believe it should be relegated to just one which, in this case, is Daniel Bryan. Antoshi ☏ ★  19:52, 9 April 2014 (UTC)


 * I do not see why not and I was not aware of that. All Biographies of Living People include them, and there is nothing in Template: Infobox professional wrestler that says not include the country, so I do not understand why someone has gone arbitrarily through and removed it. Not every person visiting this encyclopedia article will be familiar to all the cities and states of the United States, they might be confused and think Washington or Arizona are countries, as that is how it appears to someone unfamiliar with them.

Logic page photo
Hey, I was wondering if you could possibly upload a photo of Logic for the main infobox? I always seem to have trouble/confusion when I attempt to. Preferably the black & white picture that was originally in the infobox. Don't know if I can attach the photo here. NanishaOpaenyak (talk) 04:37, 10 April 2014 (UTC)


 * It appears as if that one was copyrighted after all. For living people only free images can be used, and I checked Flikr and there was none. So unless you have taken one, or could find another free one, it seems as if his page will have to go without one for the time being. STATic message me!   05:13, 10 April 2014 (UTC)

Repeatedly reverting Bizarre's pages.
You keep reverting the edits I am making for no particular reason then to revert them.

This is a sample:

Bizarre *does not* use his myspace page. If you click on the link you keep putting up there you will see it is not active.

Bizarre *IS* associated with Yelawolf, they did a song together and it is on his album, what part of this do you not understand?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6joBBGgv4Pw

The rap battles took place in a basement called *The Shelter*, do you understand that? St.Andrews is a big venue, in the basement is a SEPARATE venue called The Shelter. Google St.Andrews Detroit, go to the faq section, there you go!

There are so so many interviews where the guys have discussed this, I can narrow it down to 10 if that would help you including the film 8 Mile and Marshall Mathers -2- autobiographies. THE SHELTER IS IN THE BASEMENT OF ST.ANDRWS IT IS A SEPARATE VENUE.

An aside, I am trying to enlighten you here, these kids from Detroit weren't headlining shows at a huge venue, they were in the basement earning their stripes during the day.

Denaun Porter is a member of D12. I am horrified that you keep taking that out.

RZ.


 * Lets give this a go... Then remove the MySpace page and say that in the edit summary, I did not revert that. Yelawolf does not deserve listing in that section, because as you just said they did a single song together, that is it. We do not list every single collaborator. As for The Shelter, you need a reliable source. The burden is on the person that adds or changes content, not the person reverting the content that violates WP:V.

Non-admin closure
Hi STATicVapor. As you can read in WP:NACD, non-admin closure are generally for cases when the discussion has been ongoing for some time and the TfD page is backlogged, while in other cases "administrators are responsible for closing deletion discussions". Note also this point: "closing discussions in which you have offered an opinion […] should be avoided". Thanks,--eh bien mon prince (talk) 14:15, 16 April 2014 (UTC)


 * I was unaware that a random user can just arbitrarily decline another users good-faith closure? It appears it is a case of WP:SNOW, at least five editors have indicated a speedy keep, and not to mention the in-line tag is messing up every record label article. Also I did not close it, so it appears your last point is moot. STATic message me!   14:20, 16 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Well you did restore the closure after another editor (not me) reverted it, so you are involved in the process. WP:SNOW is an essay and should be treated as such, deletion discussions on Wikipedia are not votes, so the number of keeps is not strictly relevant to the decision of closing a discussion so early. And if you give the nom enough time, more users could still vote: it wouldn't be the first case of a TfD discussion that is seemingly directed towards one outcome and in the end reaches another. If, despite all that, you are still adamant that it should be speedy kept, I suggest you contact an admin and ask him/her to close it, per the normal procedure.--eh bien mon prince (talk) 14:25, 16 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes, a random user that gave no valid reason. It should be closed ASAP, since your nom was quite ridiculous. I do not have mind waiting for the inevitable, I just do not understand why you decided to screw up every record label article with the in-line tag. I guess you get off by being disruptive tho. STATic message me!   14:30, 16 April 2014 (UTC)
 * That is something really silly to say, even offensive. I motivated my proposal far more extensively than you motivated your opposition, and if you find the banners annoying that is your problem, they are standard for every TfD discussion in case you didn't notice. If you have no policy-based reasons to motivate your reverts, it would be better if you left the template, and the nomination, alone. Thanks, --eh bien mon prince (talk) 14:35, 16 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Not silly just factual. If it was so motivated you would have at least one person that shares your opinion, but unsurprisingly you do not. I am not the only one and no they are not standard, they give you an option when you start the discussion, in case you didn't notice. The common sense being that the nominator should not be reverting closures. STATic message me!   14:49, 16 April 2014 (UTC)

Overlinking
STATic, you said, "You can link cities and states, just not countries." Where do you get that from? I posted a question at the MOS talk page but didn't get an answer. --Musdan77 (talk) 17:12, 19 April 2014 (UTC)


 * Countries are widely known throughout the world, however do you think someone accessing Wikipedia from Australia or South America is going to be familiar with Buffalo, New York? WP:OVERLINK covers this under what not to link; "the names of major geographic features and locations", cities and states are not major geographic features and locations. STATic message me!   17:40, 19 April 2014 (UTC)


 * Apparently, you didn't go to the discussion that I linked to. And there have been other discussions about this in the archives. That sentence (and the word "major" in particular) is subjective and a matter of interpretation. Sure, Buffalo, New York is not major, but New York City certainly is -- but NYC is located in a state. Anyway, I was just wondering if you got your standing from somewhere other than that MOS. --Musdan77 (talk) 19:20, 19 April 2014 (UTC)


 * Besides my common discretion in linking I would not be able to provide you with much. I think Davidwr covered it good in the discussion you linked me. I am not sure what edit are conflict was related to, so I would not really be able to give you my exact reasoning for reverting, other then it is generally okay to link cities and states, but countries are never linked.

Imaginary Enemies genre
Hey, i noticed that you left me a message, i just wanted to discuss about it, even though what you did was because of good intentions, i still have to disagree with the genre of the album i edited, so i will tell you why i edited the genre to be the way it is. 1)Alternative rock - the instrumentation of the ablum has a lot of Alternative rock influences, which is why i cited it as a genre. 2)Post hardcore - they always played in the punk style of, they use screams and post hardcore has uncleans, that is why i edited it in. 3)Emo - it has a lot of softer songs with melodic choruses and instrumentation, not to mention the emotion there and the screaming 4)Nu metal - i labeled it Nu metal, firstly because of the use of programming in the album, it is in the style of Nu metal, secondly, there are some heavier songs there and the way they play them and the programming over there has a lot of Nu metal influences, now Nu metal was always known for the emotional and agressive sound(like on the album) and the use of scratching, programming, sampling, etc. etc. This is why i changed the genre from "rock" to those 4 and rock is a completely different genre itself, the lyrics, instrumentation and everything is just different, so if you'd label the genre as "Rock" people would think that they made a record similar to: The Beatles, or The Rolling Stones. I hope that i cleared all of this up, this is just why i did it and i think that a lot of people would agree with me there.(MTG980 (talk) 19:26, 19 April 2014 (UTC))


 * Rock is just a generalized genre (what section you would find in a store), to cover the album until reliable sources were cited for any subgenre(s). If you can provide any reliable source to back any of the genres you want to add, then it would fine to change it. However, we normaly try to limit the genres, so whatever genre dominates the album's song should be used, not just the minor elements of some they use.

Subtitles
Since when do we not use subtitles?

 * As my edit summary said, WP:SUBTITLES and WP:COMMONNAME applies. The most well known name for the album is simply Animal Ambition, and the subtitle would only apply if it was well known, or if it would be needed for disambiguation. Not sure what hip hop "blogs", have anything to do with anything, I do not follow random blogs. However, 95% reliable sources refer to the album under the simplified name, hardly ever under the full title. STATic message me!   01:07, 27 April 2014 (UTC)


 * It just seems odd to me, we wouldn't leave a subtitle off on a movie article would we? I understand the common name thing but that can change fast, i guess we shall see when it gets closer to release. Koala15 (talk) 02:15, 27 April 2014 (UTC)


 * We do all the time? The Amazing Spider Man 2 has a subtitle of "Rise of Electro" in many major markets, but the common name remains the simplified name. For an album example, there is May Death Never Stop You, which full title is May Death Never Stop You: The Greatest Hits 2001-2013, among others I do not have the time to look up right now. There is the guideline at WP:SUBTITLES for a reason. But it does only apply to the article title, so it is okay to leave it with the subtitle in the article lead and on the 50 Cent page, which I saw you removed.

Linkin Park - The Hunting Party (The Second Single)
Linkin Park revealed that the second single to promote their new album would be, titled "Until It's Gone"

Also that, Rakim the one who wrote the rap words on "Guilty All The Same", (Short story: after Mike asked Rakim to rap on the song, Rakim decided he write his own part for the song. Mike send him the lyrics so he can understand how the song is explain and written, he took that idea and written himself a rap verse for the part, he was a part of the writer in the song.) But the thing about Mike not being to rap after Rakim was true. But now Mike is practicing rapping, he knows he has to since he will be rapping all his part for Hybrid Theory on June 14th in Castle Donington, England. 2.1 Jibbz (talk) 17:42, 28 April 2014 (UTC)

Eminem discography
The small numbers i changed on the Eminem discography comes from the information already there. It says one thing and then you click on the song/album and the numbers are more updated and increased on the inside. Instead of changing all the numbers back, you should actually click the songs/albums and look for yourself. My numbers are not incorrect. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mcbedford (talk • contribs) 14:06, 29 April 2014 (UTC)

 * It has yet to receive an official retail release or radio service as a single. You can only listen to it for free and it is apart of the pre-order on iTunes. There has been no official release as a single. All the other competent editors of the song and album article seem to agree with this. STATic message me!   17:23, 6 May 2014 (UTC)

Hail To The King (A7X)
Hey, I'm sorry if my last edit appeared to confuse you on that page (that IP edit was mine). I can't really source very well (I don't know what does and what does not belong) and This Means War plays regularly on my local Rock radio FM station AND SXM Octane. I do not have a date for it, but through the Deathbat site I did see that they were recording a music video for the song, which usually, but does not always, suggest a single release. I was thinking maybe we could keep that there until we got evidence that proved otherwise. Is this possible? Is this even a good source?

I'm just saying that there seems to be plenty of radio evidence that this will lead to be single. Thank you.

DannyMusicEditor (talk) 20:01, 2 May 2014 (UTC)


 * Radio airplay or music video do not alone indicate a single release. We need an official source to confirm either a retail release or a official service date to radio. There needs to evidence to prove the added content per WP:V and WP:NOR, not evidence to prove the unsourced statement wrong. STATic message me!   17:26, 6 May 2014 (UTC)

 * No you do not, you are just making it up. How was the album well-received when it only had two reviews that were both mixed? The Billboard sources you are giving do not support anything. How could it chart at 27 on a year-end chart when it peaked at 130 something on that same chart when it was released, that is just ridiculous. The sources you are using for your claims do not support what you are saying in the article. So stop. If you continue to violate WP:V and WP:NOR you have a good chance at being blocked.

What is it w/ u & music genres?
Bullet for My Valentine has a thrash metal album & thrash metal elements in their music, so I don't understand how u can think they don't do thrash metal. And because of that, people can't know about the thrash metal in their music. I know thrash metal when I hear it. And Five Finger Death Punch is also alternative metal & hard rock, it's says so on their albums & songs, so I don't see y the band's article itself can't say they do alternative metal & hard rock. Same goes for Bullet for My Valentine w/ thrash metal. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ravenkills97 (talk • contribs) 15:45, 4 May 2014 (UTC)

Round 3 of the 2014 WikiCup has just begun; 32 competitors remain. Pool G's was Round 2's highest scorer, with a large number of featured picture credits. In March/April, he restored star charts from Urania's Mirror, lithographs of various warships (such as SMS Gefion) and assorted other historical media. Second overall was Pool E's, whose featured list Silver certificate (United States) contains dozens of scans of banknotes recently promoted to featured picture status. Third was Pool G's who has produced a large number of good articles, many, including Falkner Island, on Connecticut-related topics. Other successful participants included, who saw three articles (including the top-importance Ian Smith) through featured article candidacies, and , who saw three lists (including the beautifully-illustrated list of plantations in West Virginia) through featured list candidacies. High-importance good articles promoted this round include narwhal from, tiger from and The Lion King from. We also saw our first featured topic points of the competition, awarded to and  for their work on the Sega Genesis topic. No points have been claimed so far for good topics or featured portals.

Discography and Space Bound edits
Hi! I made some edits regarding of albums on the Eminem discography page. The edits were all cited. For example the mmlp2 sales were updated as the present edit shows sales upto march according to Hiphopdx.com i also updated it using the same website. All i did was update it to the list published by the site on 27th april. So i consider it is reliable. The sales of MMLP and The Eminem Show were edited according to sales provided by mediatraffic.com. I guess its reliable too. I cited it too and if you want you can check it the sites decade end chart. The quote that i changed on the Space bound section was from the reference already provided in the article. So even that is not wrong. I would like that you update the above info as or allow me to do so cause the numbers I provide are not wrong or if you feel that there is a mistake on my behalf you can help me to get rid of the confusion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Abhinav0908 (talk • contribs) 13:18, 5 May 2014 (UTC) Abhinav0908 (talk)


 * Hey Abhinav0908. HipHopDX is a reliable source however, you updated all the others with bloated figures from an unreliable source (mediatraffic). As for the quote, you need to indicate that in the edit summary, so not to confuse other editors. Also your bit about its success on YouTube or whatever was WP:OR, that is what I left the message for. Feel free to restore the update to MMLP2 sales and change that quote. Sorry for any confusion.

Record labels
Your reverting of my revisions to record label articles were incorrect. Frontline labels - such as Atlantic, Columbia, etc. - manage their own distribution affairs, before sending that info. off to the physical distribution leg of their parent company. Note that the article of Atlantic Records sister label Warner Bros. Records lists that it is 'self-distributed,' note that the article of Columbia Records sister label Epic Records lists that it is 'self-distributed.' The way these articles are set up, thanks to your reverting my revisions, are inconsistent when they should be uniform. The Real One Returns (talk) 01:05, 9 May 2014 (UTC)


 * You just provided your own answer. They send out the info to the parent, who then in turn distributes it. I am not sure about Sony labels, but all Universal Music Group label releases (Def Jam, Republic, Interscope, Island) are distributed by Universal Music Distribution in the United States, I was just looking at the back of 2014 CDs from all these labels today, they say distributed by Universal Music Distribution. As for Warner, WBR distributes itself and then they distribute Atlantic. Your claims have no sources anyways. STATic message me!   01:56, 9 May 2014 (UTC)

Discography edits
Hi - I blocked the IP 187.109.224.34 due to a request on WP:AIV by TheEpTic. The IP made a very large number of small edits, fairly rapidly, across multiple music related articles. Most of them seemed to have no impact, but in at least one I found that artists names that were correct were removed. I can't really judge the edits, but based on that one, based on that 187.109.224.33 had been blocked for vandalism with very similar edits, and based on the report at AIV, I rangeblocked all the 187.109.224.xxx IPs and reverted all of 34's changes. I did not touch the changes of 33 that are still live. I later noticed at least one edit was correct, and it looks like you found another. Should I undo this block and the other reverts? Input from you and TheEpTic would be excellent. Prodego <sup style="color:darkgreen;">talk  20:06, 11 May 2014 (UTC)

They were vandalizing on 187.109.224.33, created an account User: Daolon Wong, then the IP and then user was blocked, which was when they hopped over to 187.109.224.34 where they have made many rapid disruptive edits over the next few days.

Your revert in the article "2014 in hip hop music"
Hello,

you reverted my edits. I have provided reputable sources.

http://www.rap.de/news/40-news/17481-fler-gratuliert-kollegah-zum-gold-rekord

rap.de is the biggest hip hop related online platform in Germany and the author Oliver Marquardt is the chief editor.

http://www.musikmarkt.de/Aktuell/News/Spotify-Kollegah-erzielt-Streaming-Rekord

Musikmarkt is the biggest journal of the music industry in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

Regarding the importance of Kollegah's achievement I think it is fair enough to mention it in the section and include his picture instead pictures of rappers who haven't achieved similar success. Ich901 (talk) 14:19, 14 May 2014 (UTC)


 * I understand that, however to add a huge image and two entries to the event section is WP:UNDUE weight. To say that the others have not achieved similar success is just your non-neutral point of view talking. STATic message me!   22:49, 14 May 2014 (UTC)
 * I mean commercial success and that's not my point of view it's a fact. Other notes in the event section are pretty much less important from an objecdtive point of view.

Example: "On March 5, Lil Boosie was released from the Louisiana State Penitentiary where he has been incarcerated since 2009 on drug charges."


 * What does this have to do with Hip-Hip???


 * You did also two entries to replace mine. That is exactly doing the same thing. Several of the pictures in the "upcoming releases" section have the same size as th picture I have added.


 * What you did twice is basically vandalism. --Ich901 (talk) 14:08, 15 May 2014 (UTC)


 * Feel free to bring up it up on the article talk page. Lil Boosie is a major hip hop recording artist in the United States and his release has received an insane amount of mainstream media coverage, compared to just the regional coverage Kollegah has gotten. And sorry you must have no idea what vandalism is, content disputes are not vandalism. STATic message me!   01:06, 16 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Lol, Kollegah has posted his Gold record for his album on his Facebook page not even one week after the release. That's the proof for 100,000 records sold. His label announced that the first week sales are 161.976 copies in Germany alone, it's the fastst selling rap album in Germany of all time and fastest selling album in Germany in the last ten years.


 * The independent GfK, which is responsible for the German album charts, states 160,000 copies of King were sold in Germany in the first week: http://www.gfk-entertainment.com/koeniglicher-rekord-grandiose-verkaufswoche-fuer-kollegah.html


 * It's enough to list it in the table for highest first week sales in the article. Not many American artists, sell more in the first week. Most of the rappers in the acrticle sell less. "Lil Boosie" is maybe popular in the United states but I have never heard of him before and I can name atleast 100 American Rappers. He probably doesn't get any media coverage outside of the United States. In addition to that the event is not even Hip Hop related. Ich901 (talk) 15:16, 19 May 2014 (UTC)


 * See thank you very much for fully explaining it. It sure is enough to list in the highest first week sales table, feel free to do that, also add it to the released albums table if it is not already there. Maybe you have not heard of him (he has been in prison since 2009), but his release received very substantial, international media coverage (maybe not in Germany, but UK and Oceania yes), however until this conversation I have never heard of "Kollegah", which shows you the amount of coverage he receives internationally. Information about certifications and facts like it was the fastest selling rap album in Germany of all time belong in the notes part of his entry in the released albums section.

Rapture Ruckus new EP
I just created Invader Volume 1 by Rapture Ruckus if you want to go and look it over, and should it be included on the list?HotHat (talk) 23:22, 14 May 2014 (UTC)


 * Any official retail studio album (no free albums or mixtapes), by a rapper or group with a Wikipedia article can be added to the list. The album does not immediately have to be notable enough for its own article (or currently have one) to be added to the list, just as long as the artist does.

Eminem records sales
Hello there. How do you do?

I've seen that you are one of the Eminem's wikibiography editor, and i also seen that you are insist to put Eminem's sales with 96 million albums and over 120 million singles worldwide, by using this source (http://www.xxlmag.com/xxl-magazine/2014/05/dr-dre-eminem-and-jimmy-iovine-three-kings-originally-published-april-may-2014/) while actually, the article inside stated "rap titan Eminem, who’s been signed to Dre’s label since 1998 and has sold 96 million records as an Aftermath/Interscope artist." Not 96 million albums and over 120 million singles worldwide like you stated on eminem's wikibio.

Please be consider that Wikipedia should be fill up with a reliable source. Please look up this page (best-selling music artists), eminem's certification sales has been reach nearly 99m and while his "real and not inflated sales claim" still around 100m.

The source from this (http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/features/why-eminem-is-a-greater-artist-than-lady-gaga-will-ever-be/story-e6frg8h6-1226836137106) could be use for while to state eminem's records sales at 115 million, because that number is much more and much better reliable than another eminem's 200m or more claim sales which is so INFLATED.

thanks. Politsi (talk) 03:40, 15 May 2014 (UTC)


 * Please do not make unfounded assumptions about my editing. I did not origionally change that figure with that source and only challenged yours as it seemed that the source was inflating the sales figures. That has been a major problem with Eminem's page for a long time. All Eminem's sales have been as an Aftermath/Interscope artist so that would be the total. If the total lines up with the List of best-selling music artists page feel free to change it. Feel free to restore the change. STATic message me!   05:11, 15 May 2014 (UTC)

Hello
why did you revert this edit? . On the talk page, the consensus doesn't end yet You are imposing an edit without consensus by user Status, (the edit summary "lol", isn't a reason). Grande's label said, christmas kisses songs are promotional singles, and she confirmed that "Problem" is her fifth official single. On i tunes the singles and the promotional are release independently, depends on the label. see. Thanks. Regards. Connie (A.K) (talk) 22:31, 16 May 2014 (UTC)

Will Ferrell drum-off
You again removed the section on Ferrell's drum-off with Chad Smith giving no reasons behind it's removal although said discuss on the talk page, which you didn't to explain it's removal again. There already was discussion on the talk page about it. Someone else had previously removed it but understood it's importance. I'm not sure why this shouldn't be included on his page since it will be a national televised charity event on Jimmy Fallon's show and is making news through all the major media outlets. It has received more news and press than most of his recent movies have. Jason1978 (talk) 02:23, 18 May 2014 (UTC)


 * To dedicate a whole section on it is clearly undue weight. Continue the discussion on talk page until consensus is reached. Until then, the article should remain in its form before the bold edit. To say it "received more news and press than most of his recent movies have" is just blatantly incorrect. STATic message me!   18:31, 18 May 2014 (UTC)

Speaking of being civil
You know how condescending that came across, right? -- GentlemanGhost  (converse)  06:46, 19 May 2014 (UTC)


 * You can make any denotation of what I said you want, but I was not being so. See WP:LEAD if you do not understand how they are meant to be written. They are meant to be longish (3-4 paragraphs) to summarize the article body. All information that is present in the lead, should be present in the article. STATic message me!   06:54, 19 May 2014 (UTC)


 * I understand it just fine. I merely disagree with you about which points to sum up in this particular article's lead section. But more importantly, if you had phrased the rationale for your reversion like you did above, it would have been more pleasant. Asking a rhetorical question in an edit summary will only be interpreted one way: condescension. -- GentlemanGhost  (converse)  07:07, 19 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Well there is not that much room in an edit summary as there is in the unlimited talk page. I did not in anyway write the lead and I am sure your copyedited lead is better, but as I said the content should be covered in both places. Not really rhetorical, from your edit summary I took the impression that you did not know that. STATic message me!   07:27, 19 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Well, I'm glad to hear that you didn't intend to be rude. :-) A simple message like "Lead should summarize entire body, see WP:LEAD" would have done it for me. -- GentlemanGhost  (converse)  07:34, 19 May 2014 (UTC)

Not suprised
...that you would say something like this. Maybe you should change your edit notice? It clearly reads "I edit with good intentions, so please assume good faith as I always do", which is obviously an incorrect statement. Cheers, — Status  ( talk  ·  contribs ) 07:12, 19 May 2014 (UTC)


 * Removing content that is backed by reliable sources did not seem to be much in good faith at all. I have to admit it was a bit snappy, but your edit summary was not good enough. If you would have actually checked the sources out, they are clearly reliable. STATic message me!   07:23, 19 May 2014 (UTC)

RMS Titanic
You guys made some mistakes, there's were actually a total of 2,223 passengers on board and a total of 1,492 died in the water (7 were saved from the water) and a total of 731 people survived. I know this, I did alot of reading on the ship and her disaster in 1912, she hit the iceberg at 11:40p and disappeared under the waves at 2:22a not 2:20a, a watch said 2:20a, it was found inside a second-class stateroom but she actually sank at 2:22a.2.1 Jibbz (talk) 19:08, 19 May 2014 (UTC)

Plus, she broke in-half under the waves, right before the third funnel not after, before. Believe me I've drew the ship like more than 15 times, I've studied it, I even drew the ship breaking apart, there a actually video on youtube, on how she sank.

IndianBio constant reverts on GUY page
I see he's a regular in here always complaining about other people, but I'm her to complain about him. He's constantly changing all Lady Gaga pages to his own interest, with biased language and subjective adjectives. I changed "the single was unsuccessful" to "not as successful as her previous singles". Because, who decides what's a flop? Him? It has charted in more than 10 countries reaching top 10 in some of them. Obviously not a hit, but not "unsuccessful". And if this remains, I will go to other artists' pages to put the same thing in all singles with worse chart peaks. He's not the king of the page to put his personal opinion on everything. He's an editor in ALL Lady Gaga pages he's always into edit wars. And, besides all that, he broke the 3 reverts rule today. Thanks. Rub rb (talk) 16:01, 22 May 2014 (UTC)

Re this edit: Please explain "requires third party coverage". &mdash; ATinySliver &#47; ATalkPage 08:09, 25 May 2014 (UTC)


 * No problem. To establish the notability of the song cover, it should be covered by a reliable third party source. STATic message me!   08:16, 25 May 2014 (UTC)
 * The linked citation is Ms. Ryan's official YouTube channel, so reliability is not the issue. Meantime, as a long-time editor, I was unaware&mdash;though I suppose I shouldn't be surprised, in hindsight&mdash;that a song cover from a clearly notable artist needs to meet its own standards of notability? &mdash; ATinySliver &#47; ATalkPage 08:50, 25 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes I understand that, notability is the issue not reliability. To establish the notability of her cover, a third party source is needed. If it is really notable, a reliable third party source would have covered it. STATic message me!   17:25, 25 May 2014 (UTC)
 * In other words, ATinySilver, needs to be covered by reliable sources that are not affiliated with the creation of the song (i.e. music critics). This is what STATic means by third-party sources. Also, coverage from album reviews doesn't count as notable coverage for songs. XXSNUGGUMSXX (talk) 18:43, 25 May 2014 (UTC)

Hey Static, it's Shallowharold again. I have a slight problem with vandalism on the page to Dr. Dre's album 2001 and his single "The Watcher". There are a few people on there editing the page that want to list Nas as a co-writer of "The Watcher" and are doing so because of the website RapGenius. Aside from the fact that RapGenius isn't exactly a reliable source, virtually NONE of the publishing companies have verified this claim.

Three 6 Mafia, Hypnotize Minds & My Updates
Hello STATicVapor!

As you've probably noticed, I have been doing a lot of work lately updating (or at least temporarily updating) Hypnotize Minds, Three 6 Mafia & several related pages. I am a dedicated fan with a wide range of knowledge in this area of music. I have continuously been researching, editing & updating these pages along with related ones like Frayser Boy, Crunchy Black, Juicy J, DJ Paul, Project Pat, La Chat, etc. However, despite adding citations & changing the data to be as accurate & current as possible, you keep reverting ALL OF MY CHANGES to old versions of the pages. For example, you keep insisting Three 6 Mafia is an active music group. THEY ARE NOT RIGHT NOW & have not made an album since 2008 or even a single track since 2010. When Juicy J announced he was signing with Taylor Gang to pursue a solo career, it was also announced that all Three 6 Mafia projects were being put on hold indefinitely. Another thing is the "associated acts" section which continues to be poorly edited (for example Lil Jon has never been associated with Three 6 Mafia save for one song, "Act a Fool").

As for Hypnotize Minds, you keep deleting most of my changes as well. The only changes you seem to have accepted are my additions of Frayser Boy & La Chat to "previous artists". There have been more than the 12 current & former artists you insist on & keep listed. There have in fact been several dozen, as I have previously edited the page to include. I understand you wanting to take out sentences appear like they are "hearsay" & not cited, but I don't understand you continuously reverting the entire pages. If you believe that you have more knowledge about Hypnotize Minds & Three 6 Mafia than me, prove where I am wrong. I'm sorry if this is coming off as at all rude & I know you have a lot of experience as a wikipedia admin, but I feel you should research the changes before just reverting the whole pages. I'm just getting frustrated having my changes continuously reverted by YOU alone when other users have commended most of my updates.

A separate issue is the images I have uploaded to be profile images of individuals who previously had no image to identify themselves by on their personal wikipedia pages. I have uploaded the following images recently, but after several days of being the functioning & accepted image of the respective pages, I have gotten notices that they are not technically "free" images & cannot be used? I just don't understand this part & if you could give me an explanation so I can effectively continue to improve Wikipedia, it would be greatly appreciated.

 * Sorry but much of your edits have been made without providing reliable sources for your changes. In the end all, Da Mafia 6ix is practically Three 6 Mafia, that is why they are covered on the page. You have no source for Triple 6 being disbanded officially. I reverted your changes because you are adding every member of Three 6 to their associated acts, when the group is already listed. You will not see every member of Wu-Tang in RZA's infobox. As for Hypnotized Minds, when adding information about non-notable artists that do not have articles, when relating them to notable record labels, reliable sources must be cited. I am about the only mod on these pages, so that is why it is only me, I am not going after my way to go after you.

If you are not free I can nominate it but as you have editing it since its creation stage it would be better that you do so.Abhinav0908 (talk) 16:39, 8 June 2014 (UTC)


 * Hey, I have yet to fully go over everything in the GA review and I would like to do that before renominating. There is no rush at all. Everyone of Eminem's albums since Slim Shady LP has been failed at GAN, those articles are in much poorer shape, but still. Hopefully, by the end of this month I should get it done, I have been busy with work a lot recently. STATic message me!   20:20, 8 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes I saw Recovery failed twice. But i ahve also seen some GA Albums which are in poorer shape than some Eminem albums. Will work on them too. It would be nice if it passes the review this time, take your time. All the best.Abhinav0908 (talk) 06:28, 9 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes I know, that is why I was so annoyed when it was quickly failed. Due to that, that is why I am in no rush to get it done. It would be cool to get a few up to GA status. STATic message me!   19:19, 9 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes and details about Eminem are more easily available than others. So we can improve other album articles i guess. He is highly covered by the media. Seems like even Wikipedia expects more from him as comapred to other artists. :p. Abhinav0908 (talk) 05:19, 10 June 2014 (UTC)

Hello this is MzPuerta, personal friend of Aron, you can find me on twitter @MzPuerta or facebook/mzpuerta

Im coming here wondering if you are the person that keeps re-editing His page? We are trying to change info to update it and someone keeps changing it.

If itz you or if u know who it may be can u please verify that this info gets added somehow.

under members, Gadjet should be added as a new new member for Deuce. Bryan Lay is still a member as well.

Also, instead of "Band" it should be Deuce "Crew". Deuce is a solo artist and has a crew he tours with, not a band.

Id appreaciate the help.

thanks.

feel free to email me if u have questions: mzpuertaofficial@gmail.com (ItzYessika (talk) 08:11, 12 June 2014 (UTC))

Meek Mill, Dream Chasers Records, and WikiProject Record Labels
I believe your removal of the WikiProject Record Labels from Meek Mill was incorrect for the following reasons. First, the main subject point of an article does not have to be relevant to a WikiProject in order to merit inclusion. For instance, If a person was born in Georgia, often WikiProject United States: Georgia is added to the person's talk page, even though the main subject certainly isn't Georgia. If an entertainer served during one of the World Wars, usually WikiProject Military History is added, even though their military service might only have a paragraph, or less. In this case, a record label is indeed discussed, and it is not beyond the realm of possibility that this portion of the article be expanded, or even eventually separated out into its own article. As such Record Labels is indeed and appropriate WikiProject. Second, Record Labels is not only for the labels themselves, but for record company executives and those who have direct influence on the operations of a record label. As the founder of a record label, Meek Mill should indeed have the Record Labels WikiProject added. Please reconsider. Most cordially,  78.26   (His Wiki's Voice) 11:48, 12 June 2014 (UTC)


 * I just have never seen that Wikiproject on a recording artist's talk, when there are many that discuss their barley notable record labels in the article. Yet alone the rappers/singers/bands that have major record labels that have their own articles. It is very possible that it will one day have its own article, and then that article should be covered under the Wikiproject. What does Meek Mill have to do with record labels, besides having one that is independent, active less than a year, and has yet to release an album. He is irrelevant to the Wikiproject as he is not some CEO/president of a major record label. There are so many other rappers/singers/bands that should have this Wikiproject tag before him.

Taking care with using revert
Hi! Thanks for pointing out in your edit comment that, when you reverted my edit on the Eazy-E page, it wasn't my edit you were aiming at, but another editor's unsourced paragraph that had been added before and that you wanted to remove. Fair enough.

I'd argue, however, that it's better not to use revert on unwanted edits if doing so means taking additional, later edits down as well, as a kind of "collateral damage". Why not just remove the offending content manually, instead of making the good faith editor whose changes were caught in the middle redo his edits?

V (Maroon 5 album)

It is only available for retail sale. Neon Icon is his major label debut studio album, but not his first album. Just as Good Kid, M.A.A.D City, My Own Lane and Oxymoron were not Kendrick Lamar's, Kid Ink's and Schoolboy Q's debut albums. Just major label debuts.

Ed Sheeran
I certainly don't understand the insistence on putting Ed Sheeran's album on the page, when we leave off most major R&B albums. And i'm not extremely familiar with his music but i don't think i've ever heard anyone call him a rapper our an R&B artist. Amazon puts the album under the pop category and AllMusic calls it Pop/Rock. Oh, and also the "he raps more then Pharrell" quote was the most hilarious thing i read all week. Koala15 (talk) 19:41, 18 June 2014 (UTC)


 * G I R L was a pop album, yet you were insistent on including it. I do not want to pull the race card, but come on. I meant on the albums that I had mentioned. Ed Sheeran is an R&B singer and as you can tell from his article and the album article, hip hop is very much an influence on his music. If you looked past his radio songs, he has full rap verses by him throughout some of his songs. At least one of the songs on the album I listed features only rap verses. If you are not familiar with the subject then do your research and stop reverting over and over like a wild man. STATic message me!   21:46, 18 June 2014 (UTC)

And Mike Will has produced tracks for their own mixtapes/albums. Also you removed the addition of CP Junior as one of the artists who responded to Kendrick Lamar's control song. Well here's proof http://youtu_.be/jVH-qVDS4V_s (no _) A rapper named CP Junior did do a response to Kendrick Lamar's Control. Please do not change my edits now.

The Color Morale
Thanks for straightening out the changes to this article. The edits by two different IP users apparently confused me. Your edit confirms I was on the right track when I reverted the second user's edits. But looking it over again, I thought that the second user had corrected the first user's edits. So I undid my edit. Instead, both users' edits needed to be reverted to get to the last clean version. I believe I am usually alert to the possibility of two different users vandalizing or at least making erroneous edits to an article. If I had followed through correctly, I would have seen this was that type of situation. This time I allowed myself to be thrown off the track - because the format problem disappeared with the second edit. I suppose the differing number of bytes should have been enough of a clue if proofreading did not disclose the problem to me. Again, thanks for correcting this.

Hey STATic VaPor thanks for taking time to read this. I recently a few days ago edited on the Sylvester Stallone page and I added at Revisiting Rocky & Rambo that Sylvester announces Rambo V and also added all the sources, dates , publisher all necessary and someone keeps deleting it. It's been happening with a couple more edits than I made since I started here why is this keeps on deleting it's not like I'm making it up I'm doing all needed in order to add that or maybe I'm doing something wrong. Thanks again.

Eminem albums
Hey bud,

I just finished reviewing Recovery, and will say its article is currently an absolute disaster which led to its 3rd unsuccessful GAN. Easily the longest review I've ever written so far (see Talk:Recovery (Eminem album)/GA3 for details). You told me back in May when I failed the GAN for MMLP2 that it was "1000% better" than Shady's other FGAN albums. I took some time to look them over, and you definitely weren't kidding. Even though the GAN for MMLP2 was premature, its article was unquestionably worlds ahead of the ones for Recovery and Encore when I reviewed it and still is today. Encore and The Eminem Show have multiple completely uncited sections (major red flag). I promise you we will get his album articles up to GA (if not FA) at some point, but it'll take some considerable work. I'll see what I can do on my own, hit me up if you need a reviewer.

I haven't looked through the entire history, so can't say for myself just yet. I look forward to when MMLP2 gets renominated- it isn't ready just yet but is definitely better now. You deserve the GA for it, just am not sure when that will be. SNUGGUMS (talk · contribs) 19:58, 7 July 2014 (UTC)

Trap
Could you please stop making uncited changes to the Trap music page, without backing up your reasons for doing do. The changes to the stylistic origins section have been agreed by numerous posters. You have repeatedly vandalised the Trap music page with uncited edits and when I have tried to have a discussion with you about it, which you have merely defined as trolling. Anymore uncited edits and I will request that the page is locked. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.178.88.81 (talk) 06:54, 7 July 2014 (UTC)


 * I have not added content, so I have made no uncited changes, that would be you. You must not know who references work since you never use them, see WP:CITE, WP:RS and WP:OR. Your changes have not been agreed to and there is no consensus for your change. Your personal attack filled message was removed of course. Stop hopping around IP address and just leave the page alone if you do not get consensus for your change. For your information, I already requested protection, so you will not get to vandalize the page anymore. STATic message me!   17:02, 7 July 2014 (UTC)

I am actually happy with the page as it stands. So I will not be making any edits, it is you who dislikes the references to Dubstep and Grime as the origins of the new EDM Trap sound. I havent been hopping around IPs and I have provided clear references showing the influence of the two aforementioned genres on early EDM Trap. There is consensus for these changes, as numerous other posters have accepted EDM Trap is a stylistic offshoot of UK Bass genres. The only outstanding point of contention is whether cultural origins are the US and UK. You will notice I cited a source which references the UK Trap scene, but I am waiting for others to see and agree to it, before I make any additional changes.

I have not launched any personal attacks, but I have tried to reach out to you and show you links between EDM Trap and its British Forbears Grime and Dubstep. I actually am a big Hip Hop fan from back in the day (Africa Bambaataa till now), but I would like to show the musical contribution of the tiny British largely black community to what is generally refered to as EDM Trap. If you were from Frisco and everyone claimed 'Hyphy' calling it another name, wouldnt you wish to show what its true origins were?

Hello, I have observed the edit wars between 129.178.88.81 and yourself. The only individual who seems to dispute the changes is you.

User 129.178.88.81 did provide a source showing the links between dubstep and trap (see below)

The LA weekly also noted the links between the newer electronic form of Trap and its UK Bass progenitor Dubstep http://blogs.laweekly.com/westcoastsound/2012/10/trap_music_edm_uz_baauer_ugk.php?page=2 stating re Trap "You could basically call it the next phase of dubstep. It plays at a club-ready 140 bpm while retaining dubstep's craze-inducing drops. (That said, eschewing the over-hyped and much-disparaged name "dubstep" is definitely a good PR move.)"

user 129.178.88.81 also provides a source showing the links between crunk (southern hip hop) and UK Grime with the following source

And finally similiarities between the intense sound of Crunk and Grime have been noted before with Lil Jon in 2004 a well known Crunk artist stating in the BBC with regards to Grime Artist Dizze Rascal "“I like Dizzee,” Lil Jon said recently, joining the Dylan Mills fan club, which also includes Andre 3000. “Even if I don’t know what the f**k he be saying.”" and even as far back as 2004 from when this article is dated American media outlets were noted for paying attention to this UK Bass Genre noting "Having all but ignored UK urban music for years, even American artists and magazines like XXL are opening their ears to the cockney accents spitting their stories over chaotic keys and speaker-smashing bass" http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/collective/A3299204

Even prompting another user to remark

After reading these sources about grime/crunk artists collabing before the EDM trap boom I'd be for keeping grime as a stylistic origin. – filelakeshoe (t / c) 11:38, 3 July 2014 (UTC)

It very much looks like you have been able to set the agenda as an established user, above all other users with regards to the trap music page. I dont want to get involved, but I think you should revaluate your position and revert your recent change and wait until other users to show their concerns with the stylistic origins section of the trap music wikipedia page.

I for one dont think user 129.178.88.81 changes can be viewed as original research as he has a good source and other users back the changes made.

Also I for one think some of the links provided above sound very much like EDM trap songs in rotation today. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.174.219.170 (talk) 19:34, 8 July 2014 (UTC)

Hello StaticVapor,

Nograviti here, I also have been watching the whole Trap origins debate. Could you please return to the Trap Talk page and give proper reasons as to why the references to at least 'Dubstep' should be removed from the Trap Stylistic origins section. I think the sources provided by user 129.178.88.81 are good enough see WP:CITE and cannot be written off as original research WP:OR. While I don't share his belief that Grime is stylistic origin, I certainly think the evidence is clear enough that 'Dubstep' has been a significant influence on the modern trap sound.

If a response isn't forthcoming, then either you or I can raise a third party dispute and see if the issue can be resolved that way. I am actually British unlike the individual/s posting from Sweden based on their IP addresses and I think part of edits made by user 129.178.88.81 are valid. I will also suggest to user 129.178.88.81 that he creates a proper account. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nograviti (talk • contribs) 10:31, 11 July 2014 (UTC)

Could you return to the Trap Talk page as I can see that you have been posting and updating on Wikipedia over the last few days. From what I have seen, the issue of Dubstep and Grime as stylistic origins should be discussed until a consensus or compromise can be drawn. I think the others are clear on Dubstep as a direct origin, but are less happy with Grime. You are the only individual who objects to either, so it needs to be discussed on the talk page.

Capital Steez
After a false report by Hip Hop XD (I believe), alot of people started posting his death as Jamal Dewar however, it's a huge debate whether his name is Jamal or Courtney, but as no obituaries exist for a "Jamal Dewar" and Courtney Dewar is the only person from the New York area that I can find. There's several pictures on the internet talking about him with a gravestone labeled, "Courtney Dewar".

Discog formatting
WikiProject_Musicians/Article_guidelines doesn't say anything about not separating collaborations from solo releases. And Manual_of_Style_(lists_of_works) states: ''The exact format chosen will depend on the discography and the amount of verifiable information available, which may vary greatly between musical acts. In all cases, the format should follow from what's best for the article, and not vice versa.'' And of the two GAs you pointed to, Eminem just omits his D12 collaborations altogether, just as the Wu-Tang members' articles omit the group releases. Does that mean the group/collaboration projects should be omitted? Not necessarily.

Some variations in the GAs (just browsing A-E): Nadia Ali, Anggun, Rodney Atkins, Australian Crawl, Emilie Autumn, Big Bang, Clint Black, Billy Talent, Brooks & Dunn, Eva Cassidy, Cherry Poppin' Daddies, Death Cab for Cutie, Bruce Dickinson, Joe Diffie, Doro, Eazy-E, Evermore - all of these are artists with dedicated discography articles that separate the releases in the main article by category. Note that many of these also include EPs, compilations, live albums, singles, etc, while many other articles, like Eminem, Beyonce or indeed all of the individual Wu-Tang members exclude major collaborative studio albums. There are obviously no hard and fast rules to follow here. In fact, browse through those articles and you'll find infinite and seemingly arbitrary variations in the formatting of the discogs. So it's not a question of the iron application of policy, it's a question of what's appropriate for this particular artrist's article.

I would propose something like this for Method Man, Ghostface, Raekwon, etc.

Method Man
 * Tical (1994)
 * Tical 2000: Judgement Day (1998)
 * Tical 0: The Prequel (2004)
 * 4:21... The Day After (2006)
 * Crystal Meth (TBA)

Method Man & Redman
 * Blackout! (1999)
 * Blackout! 2 (2009)
 * Blackout! 3 (TBA)

Wu-Tang Clan
 * Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) (1993)
 * Wu-Tang Forever (1997)
 * The W (2000)
 * Iron Flag (2001)
 * 8 Diagrams (2007)
 * A Better Tomorrow (2014)

Other collaborations
 * Wu-Massacre (2010) (with Ghostface Killah and Raekwon)

It makes sense to separate solo albums from collaborations (because this article is about the solo artist), and it makes sense to isolate longstanding group projects with multiple releases from one-off collaborations. It makes the discography, and the overall shape of his career, far clearer, which is the point.

- Wetdogmeat (talk) 21:25, 9 July 2014 (UTC)


 * Eminem's article does include D12 releases. WikiProject_Musicians/Article_guidelines says that the section should include a simple list of the artists "major works". There is no reason they should be separated by categorization. As for all the articles you mentioned, they were probably promoted many years ago I am guessing, while the high profile ones Eminem/Beyonce follow the guideline. GA reviewers do not search the Wikiprojects to make sure layout is correct, if you would have ever taken an article to GA status you would know the reviewers are more concerned about spelling, grammar and major policies, rather than making sure everything follows the genre specific guidelines. WikiProject_Musicians/Article_guidelines is the guideline that is followed in all high profile articles such as Kanye West, Lil Wayne, Jay-Z, Eminem, as it should be in all articles since it is the WikiProjects guideline. The format you suggested is quite messy in my opinion, I much rather prefer the current consensus of the community which is at WikiProject_Musicians/Article_guidelines, a simple chronological list of their major works works better then anything else. Categorizations should be left for the discography article, which makes complete sense. As for including the Wu-Tang releases, I also wondered about this awhile back, however I think it makes much more sense to just include a link to Wu-Tang Clan discography to avoide listing them in every single members articles. STATic message me!   23:21, 9 July 2014 (UTC)
 * A few stray observations:
 * No, Eminem's discography section does not include D12 releases. I suggest you go and actually look at it.
 * Jay-Z's discography section uses my preferred formatting, not yours. Look at that one too.
 * Since Mariah Carey has no collaboration albums, we can't deduce anything from the example used at WikiProject_Musicians/Article_guidelines, whether we should separate solos and collabs (like at Jay-Z), or whether collabs should be omitted altogether (like at Eminem).
 * You're playing no true Scotsman with the GAs. "GAs all have integrated disographies!" "Here's a long, long list of GAs that don't." "Oh, well all TRUE GAs have integrated disographies." This is a logical fallacy, however, this point is actually moot, because...
 * ...You're undermining your own argument anyway. You're now claiming that an article can make its way to GA status without anyone paying any attention to the way the disography section is formatted, which means ANY appeal to how GA discogs are formatted is irrelevant.
 * The policy that you're repeatedly citing says literally absolutely nothing about whether solo albums should be separated from collaboration albums. So you're appealing to a non-existent piece of policy.
 * You claim "there is no reason they should be separated by categorization", but you didn't respond to the several reasons I gave you. Your only reason for integrating them was based on your own aesthetic judgement (it "looks messy"), which is irrelevant. Here are my reasons again: It makes sense to separate solo albums from collaborations (because this article is about the solo artist), and it makes sense to isolate longstanding group projects with multiple releases from one-off collaborations. It makes the discography, and the overall shape of his career, far clearer, which is the point.
 * Anyway, since there is no policy to speak of, I'll take this to the talk page at WikiProject_Musicians/Article_guidelines. - Wetdogmeat (talk) 19:43, 18 July 2014 (UTC)

Hi. I happened to remove the "Singles" content on Tinashe's page because those songs don't represent her actual single she put out for Radio.

STATic message me!   05:06, 15 July 2014 (UTC)


 * You've entirely missed the point. Metacritic says reviews have been generally positive, but it has only included a few mixed/negative reviews – there are many others by well known outlets and publications. Also, of the 19 reviews chosen by Metacritic, nine – or 47% – are listed as "mixed". I haven't reverted your changes, since it's accurate to say "Metacritic says reviews have been positive" while listing the many negative reviews not taken into account by MC. Also, your assertion that I "must not understand original research" and instructing me to visit the link is hugely patronising; I already did read the link, hence my prior quoting of "reliable, published sources". You must not understand how to be less condescending, so take time to learn. 87.81.143.227 (talk) 22:55, 15 July 2014 (UTC)

Thank You (Busta Rhymes song)
Hi. Thank you for reverting my edits on the song "Thank You" by Busta Rhymes, but here's my explanation of why you reverted my edits: on the single cover of the song, it said "FEAT. KANYE WEST, LIL WAYNE & Q-TIP", not "FEAT. Q-TIP, LIL WAYNE & KANYE WEST". And also, E.L.E. 2 is still an upcoming album, so it has not been released yet. The track listing should have been okay when I put it there, and the part "(2014)" that you put back on the article is really unnecessary. It should also say that it "features additional vocals from fellow rappers Kanye West, Lil Wayne and Q-Tip" and also "released as a single on November 7, 2013, from his upcoming tenth studio album E.L.E.2 (Extinction Level Event 2)." The track listing for the digital download format should have also been alright with you since you put it out. Skylar3214 11:04, 14 July 2014


 * Well you should have said that, however do not change "and" to "&", it is not proper encyclopedia writing to use the symbol. As for ELE2 being upcoming, it does not really need to be said. I added the track listing back as you know. Go ahead and throw the release date info back in, but it should be its own sentence, not awkwardly lumped into the first sentence. STATic message me!   06:22, 15 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Should I put the release date in another sentence? Skylar3214 11:29, 14 July 2014
 * Not in another sentence, it should be its own sentence, along with the format of release. STATic message me!   15:01, 15 July 2014 (UTC)
 * I saw what you put on the article. It's really perfect. Thanks, man. I would have done it myself, but I was away for a couple hours. ;) Skylar3214 10:38, 15 July 2014

Speedy Deletion
Hello Static,

I noticed you added the Speedy deletion tab to the Yung Stet artist page. I totally respect your opinion but I was wondering more in detail of why Yung Stet page was decided to be placed as unimportant artist? I noticed it was also reviewed by one of the Master editors also whom didn't place it for deletion. Its tagged with some great artist background information that shows importance for this artist/songwriter to be added. He has received major awareness from well known major brands and artists. His social media accounts including twitter are verified also. I was just curious because I reviewed other artists pages that didn't have as much background info as this page. Once again I am just curious of your decision. (Topdog2014 (talk) 19:23, 15 July 2014 (UTC))


 * At this point in time it looks like Yung Stet does not meet the notability creteria of WP:MUSICBIO. If you would like to have a copy to work on in your sandbox, ask the administrator that reviewed and deleted the page if they could userfy it for you. I will give you credit, you did write a pretty good article, but at this point it looks like he is just not there yet. STATic message me!   21:38, 15 July 2014 (UTC)

Summerslam 2014
You claim that there was not a credible source attached to my link. That link showed a Vimeo video that is a preview that shows that John Cena will be wrestling Brock Lesnar for the title at Summerslam. The final frame of the video shows that the commercial is from MTS, which is a Canadian PPV provider. The Vimeo video looks professionally made and has recent footage of Wrestlemania and Cena winning the title for a 15th time.

My edit to Brick Mansions
Hi, thanks for posting on my talk page. The reason I changed it to negative reception is because the film only received 26% on Rotten Tomatoes and most of the reviews are pretty negative of the film. I doesn't make sense to have it as mixed since the reviews are generally negative.XKid3202 (talk) 03:09, 19 July 2014 (UTC)


 * That is just your original research of the reception. Rotton Tomatoes does not call 26 percent approval negative, so you cannot take that as negative. Metacritic supports saying that it received "generally mixed reviews", so that is why we say mixed. STATic message me!   03:15, 19 July 2014 (UTC)

No. What you are saying is also just original research of the reception. Just because one site states the it received generally mixed reviews doesn't make it so. Metacritic only takes a limited number of reviews and if you look at the majority of reviews for the film you will see that the majority of them are negative.XKid3202 (talk) 03:35, 19 July 2014 (UTC)


 * Well I guess you just do not understand what original research is, try taking a look at WP:OR. That one site is the source, and you have no source for saying it received generally negative. Metacritic takes only the most notable reviewers, while Rotton Tomatoes includes every Joe Schmoe that writes for a random blog. Either way, RT does not call the reviews generally negative.

Edit to List of Wu-Tang Clan Affiliates
Hey, just a quick question. You reverted my edit to the article based on a good faith assumption. I didn't do it in good faith and did my research instead. Although there are no definitive sources on the web, there are sources in the world. :-) The best source I could provide was the interview I posted, also there are some tracks on youtube, one of them featuring Bomshot & Holocaust, Ghostface Killah and Straight. Also, a member of the German chapter is a co-worker of mine. (He asked me whether I could do the edit.) Before doing so, I made him show me the contract, which in fact exists and seems legit.

Of course, you are way more important to this project than me and more experienced with all this, too. So I can only ask, whether you want to look into the this yourself. Anyways, keep up the good work and have a nice weekend! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Action Boo (talk • contribs) 10:40, 19 July 2014 (UTC)

Hi, I don't like to bad mouth people but User:ShawnMichaels11223344 has been nothing short of an nuisance since they have started editing wrestling articles making bad punctuation edits adding unofficial artwork/taglines amongst other things, what do you think the best outcome should be?

Drake infobox
I've launched a discussion at the talk page, which you should have been notified of, but I wanted to say a few more things here on your talk page aside from that discussion. While I think it was perfectly fine to revert my changes per WP:BRD, I would be very careful with leaving edit summaries like the one you left, which imply that discussion is a necessity for any change, no matter how seemingly uncontroversial. I'm not completely sure if that's what you meant, but the implication seems to go against WP:BOLD. I personally wasn't offended, but you might scare off other editors who may be newer or less familiar with Wikipedia and just want to make contributions with such edit summaries.

Also, other changes were made to the infobox outside of the mere change of type, such as a new image that showed the subject more clearly and the removal of an excessive laundry list of "associated acts" that mostly have no significance to the artist's career, and it would have been helpful if you explained why these were changed, in your edit summary or elsewhere. No hard feelings, just wanted to let you know. Cheers, –Chase (talk / contribs) 02:32, 20 July 2014 (UTC)


 * I was doing the revert on the base of WP:BRD, there was no problem with making a bold change, it is just that infobox changes should be discussed. As for the changes, feel free to change the image back, I personally felt that one looked much better, but another reason for the revert was you removing the associated acts. The limited amount ones that were listed have been very significant to Drake's career as someone who follows it would know and they all met the guideline. If I do not jump in that discussion immediately, it is because I want to see what others think. STATic message me!   16:47, 20 July 2014 (UTC)

Edit warring on Babymetal article
Hi there, I know you are often busy but on a certain article I need you expertise. Several Wikipedians have been editing in against template guidelines and have been formatting against them, and while I have been following these templates and guidelines I just keep getting my work reverted simply because they disagree, they don't reference any reason why they just disagree and while I would have back up on any other page this particular page is watched by what appears to be many fans and want it in a particular way that is not in accordance to Wikipedia and I may have snapped one or two times just trying to justify my edits so I am coming to you for some help, even if somehow my edits are wrong it would be great to hear from you since you're a professional so your opinion is of great value. I hope you help us with your better knowledge one way or another. 09:56, 20 July 2014 (UTC)


 * No problem, glad to help you SilentDan297. Instead of me combing through the talk page, could you detail in what sections are these edit conflicts are taking place? Just from a quick view it looks like there are way to many genres and the discography has some weird format. STATic message me!   16:50, 20 July 2014 (UTC)


 * Thank you, the current discussion is taking place here: Talk:Babymetal/Archive 2. Apologies for the mass amount of text but I kinda lost it after being reverted many times before, I went through the trouble of replying to every point he made against me after he/she replied so the discussion looks incredibly disorganised, thank you for your help though it is very much appreciated! 16:59, 20 July 2014 (UTC)


 * Since this argument I have calmed down I started another discussion with a much better structure here: Talk:Babymetal/Archive 1, hopefully you can still contribute since we are waiting for the opinions of others before we make any more edits, thank you for your time. We are currently discussing;


 * What genres should be in the infobox and what should be removed.
 * What details should be mentioned in the Members section, more specifically whether their birth dates would be mentioned here and the roles of the two younger singers.
 * The layout of the discography and how it should be presented.
 * Again thank you for your time and hope to hear from you on the talk page. 09:01, 22 July 2014 (UTC)

Update Unfortunately the dispute rages on. I am deeply sorry for asking a second time, this will be my last, but he is now trying to get me blocked for my attempts to improve the article based on the discussions on the talk page. I no longer can edit the page without him reverting and I do not want to be blocked from editing other articles as well so I'm stuck, all I can do is attempt to discuss fairly with him but it doesn't seem all that possible since he hasn't really cooperated all this time. If you could look at the discussion he has made here: Talk:Babymetal/Archive 2 and include your third opinion then that would be great, otherwise I understand if you are too busy or don't want to be included in such a discussion.

Speedy Deletion of Danagog
Hello Static,

Trust you're having a great day, I noticed you placed a Speedy Deletion Tag on article Danagog. I have gone through the criteria and the article in question has independent references and also speaks of an artiste with direct affiliations with one of the foremost record-labels in Nigeria, also this artiste has been on rotation on both local and international TV & Radio stations, a comparison with peer artistes also shows that similar references were provided. It turns out these still didn't meet your criteria, kindly make the article available for further editing in order to further conform to the stated criteria.

Many thanks


 * Danagog is not notable. Just because he's a member of Davido's HKN Gang doesn't make him notable. B-Red and Sina Rambo are not notable as well. Please do no try creating articles for these artists.  V e r s a c e 1 6 0 8 (Talk) 19:12, 21 July 2014 (UTC)

 * I know what edit you were talking about, my proper English comment was more related to the poor structure of the sentence in general. From what I have seen in BLPs their nationality is always what comes first, before saying what their known occupation(s) is. He is not a retired American after all. Personally I think we do not really need to say he is a "retired" professional wrestler, but with the recentism of the issue, someone is sure to add it back.

 * I'd get your point if you read American as a noun, but that's "professional wrestler". He was an American one, and a retired one. Also an American American and a retired retiree. But it works for anyway you read it this way, so it's all good.InedibleHulk (talk) 09:29, 24 July 2014 (UTC)

Bizarre & Seven the General
Hello,

I mean no disrespect to you or the forum, However before I made the edits to Bizarre (rapper) page I asked first and then did the proper research and referencing. The issue initially was that "Seven the General" is notable but has not enough biographical info for stand alone article, I was instructed to improve any article that I could prove through ref's that he belongs in. I thought I did this properly? based on my references and articles Seven the General is managed by Bizarres Red head records per Bizarre interview Murder Dog #17. Thus warranting the update in information to the article, GjonPreni (talk) 13:31, 29 July 2014 (UTC)


 * But it is clearly undue weight to have entire paragraphs about this not notable rapper in Bizarre's article. Just because he is managed by his label hardly makes him that related. Sorry to be reverting you, but this rapper you keep trying to press into Wikipedia is just not notable enough. STATic message me!   15:36, 29 July 2014 (UTC)

The only reason I set it like that in the first place was because Celebration was listed under (game song) and I didn't want to complicate things even though I know he's gone back to using The ever since Jesus Piece came out.

keto page
Hi STATicVapor, thx for all your work reviewing different hip hop pages. I was about to post a smallish bio and noticed you'd opened a deletion discussion this June (I'm assuming for this copyvio version at wikibin?). The new version has some refs the old discussion missed, so if you had a moment, I was curious about your opinion. I'll post sometime soon so you could renominate it then, though if you think passing #1 on WP:MUSBIO is impossible I might just wait till the sophomore album (I don't spend much time in afd, so I'm inclined to lean on your experience.) Thanks! Earflaps (talk) 01:58, 30 July 2014 (UTC)


 * In my opinion, your version of the article has to be much better. It clearly demonstrates coverage in reliable sources, indicating meeting WP:GNG, which is the first point of WP:MUSICBIO. I do not think you will at all have to worry about an AfD in this case. Another well-written article Earflaps! STATic message me!   19:36, 30 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Right on; I always try to act above it, but tbh I have the same reaction to red tags as I do police sirens, so thanks for setting me at ease. And a compliment! yay! Onigiri_cheerleader.gif Not lightly taken, since I've learned a lot from your editing the past year. You know, you're making it difficult not to do this:

Song Notability/Deletion
How come all these songs that have been tagged as Fails Notability haven't been merged or deleted by an administrator yet? Jingalin should be by now and I believe When I Feel Like It should be as well. Just seeing if you can give me some insight as to how long it normally takes for them to decide or if it's even a concern. BlaccCrab (talk) 19:02, 31 July 2014 (UTC)


 * Administrators do not patrol pages that have that maintenance tag on it. If anyone sees a song as not meeting WP:NSONGS, they may nominate them at Articles for Deletion or boldly redirect them. I would not suggest you not doing the latter, since you seem to not understand WP:GNG or WP:NSONGS, judging by your tagging of "When I Feel Like It". It is more then clear from looking at the references that it was significantly covered in reliable sources. Being old is not a criteria for deletion. STATic message me!   19:17, 31 July 2014 (UTC)

Why are you being rude again? I Literally just asked a question. And how exactly is that song not up for deletion? Despite being scrapped (hence old, which wasn't even my point) it didn't make it past the bubbling under r&b/hip hop chart nor rhythmic/hot 100 or any relevant chart. What major publication covered the song? It's probably the only song featuring 2 Chainz that no one even knows existed let alone all the things I just pointed out. BlaccCrab (talk) 05:59, 1 August 2014 (UTC)


 * I am not, apologies if you took it that way. I just told you, being tagged with a maintenance tag does not make the article up for deletion. That can only happen if it was placed at WP:AFD. Being scrapped from the album is also zero reason for deletion, I have asked you to see WP:NSONGS and understand what it means. Chart positions do not immediately make songs notable, and songs that chart low or do not chart are not immediately not notable. If you would look at the references section you would see the coverage, but you do not understand WP:N. I have it in iTunes, enough people bought it to make it chart, and it has been viewed 2,000+ times in the last three months, so there are people that certainly know it exists. Why are you refusing to listen to anything I tell you? STATic message me!   16:49, 1 August 2014 (UTC)

Hey there. As i see you're interested in hip hop music and sometimes you're editing Juicy J's article. Can you tell me should i put MTV VMA's Best Female Video category at his Awards and nominations section? This year "Dark Horse" is nominated for that award.

Turn Down For What
Hey,

Just wanted to ask why my edit claiming that "Mad Decent" released Turn Down for What was removed. If you consider the actual ISRC, it was released under Columbia but also as well from Mad Decent which you know is another division of Jefree's publishing. Is there any reason why my revert was edited other than the one I have posted above? If so, please do let me know

Thanks SwervingStyle

Sorry to message again, but I see that you have also reverted my edits made to Cashmere Cat and Mad Decent's roster. I don't see why. Jack U is Diplo's project with fellow artist Skrillex and it was made clear on the official Mad Decent site that Jack U will be releasing everything via Mad Decent's label. Doesn't that allow for the Jack U to be placed under the Mad Decent artist's spot? Additionally, Cashmere Cat has been signed to Mad Decent. He is currently on the roster as two of his new tracks were released under Mad Decent and furthermore, he is taking part in the Mad Decent Block Party. Please do explain in further why I may be wrong,

Thanks


 * Reliable sources must be cited for all content additions. Who is Jefree? The song was released under Columbia, who DJ Snake is signed to. The Cashmere Cat label addition was not sourced and they are not listed here, since they would be one of the biggest artists on the label, you can be sure they would be listed there. The Jack U addition should have been supported with a citation to a source and Outkast is most certainly not signed to Mad Decent, was that just vandalism or what?

Pro Era
Hey. I noticed you pretty much reverted my changes to the article. Before I (or you, or we) put them back I want us to agree on something; the infobox is clearly too long and it sort of makes the top part of the article a bit of an eyesore. Since infoboxes are meant to be a sort of summary I only left the most popular members of the group (obviously Joey Badass, CJ Fly, Kirk Knight, Nyck Caution and Chuck Strangers, plus Powers Pleasant since he's one of the founders of the collective) in the infobox and put that See members below part to let the reader see the entire roster in the Members section. Putting all the musical artists in both the infobox (making it too long) and the section is unnecessarily repetitive in my opinion. My point is even strengthened by the fact that you left the See members below part in the infobox (which maybe should change to See all members below, although not all the members are listed in the article).

 * What gives you the authority to pick and choose who to list? You're determination of popularity is both WP:OR and not WP:NPOV. It makes sense to list all the musical members. I would like you to point out any high quality article doesn't. Also the columns you tried to make was not proper in the infobox and the ones in the body were also not proper as they clashed with the image. I only left the members link for anyone that is interested in who the non-musical members are. STATic message me!   17:57, 3 August 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm not trying to give myself any authority or whatever. It's just my opinion that we shouldn't have to repeat all the members in both the infobox and the section. It doesn't make sense to me. And my reasoning behind the members I named was that since Capital Steez, Joey Badass, CJ Fly and Powers Pleasant are the ones who started the collective, they should be in the infobox, and since then Kirk Knight, Chuck Strangers and Nyck Caution have become prominent members as well, since they appear in most of the group's collective songs and, along with the founders, are usually prominent figures at their concerts and stuff as well. Aside from all that I can agree with you on the matter with the columns.

 * Well we do, at least the musical members. I asked you to point me to any hip hop group or band article that doesn't, and you haven't. When you select a few and call them the "prominent members", that is your WP:OR as you have no source for that. We are supposed to list the whole group, not just a select notable few.

Static Vapor, what's wrong with you? You can't revert edits by more than half a dozen different people, edits that came with summaries, with one shitty edit summary, "vandalism and unsourced content removal". Bullshit. Look at the edits, and look at the terrible condition of the stuff that was removed. You're supposed to be a GA editor: act like one. Drmies (talk) 02:49, 8 August 2014 (UTC)


 * There is nothing shitty about my edit summary, it explained that revert. You removed over 10,000 bytes of sourced content without a single word in the edit summary, that is most certainly worthy of a warning if you were not an admin. Someone needs to take care with the content removal if there needs to be one and you need to stop adding back the unsourced content. STATic message me!   02:55, 8 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Partly sourced bullshit fan chat is what you mean. And what is your excuse for all the other edits? Drmies (talk) 03:09, 8 August 2014 (UTC)


 * Static, I got a better idea. Why don't we make this article better? The amount of unsourced information is still immense, though the amount of trivia is more manageable. You know how to find the relevant sources and how to format these articles: the band is important enough to deserve a much better article (though I didn't care much for their show on Stewart's show). Drmies (talk) 13:24, 8 August 2014 (UTC)


 * What I restored right now was not "Partly sourced bullshit fan chat". Drmies, edit summaries that fully explain your removals would just be nice, instead of edits like this with not a single word in the edit summary. I agree that there was a lot of unsourced trivia, and that is why I only restored that one section. That one section is most certainly worthy of including until there is a separate album article to break the information on to. Try to delve deeper then the Daily Show appearance, it kinda sucked. STATic message me!   16:14, 8 August 2014 (UTC)
 * OK. Look, there is certainly stuff to be said about that album--but what we're saying now is nothing, nothing of any value whatsoever--just announcements. A Facebook post, a complaint (?) that one guy only worked on two songs, etc.--it doesn't even try to rise above the level of gossip. Plus, I don't see how "RZA has also said he had talked to Adrian Younge about working on a song for the album" is better than "Adrian Younge was to work on one of the songs". "Also" is typically filler, and "said he had talked to" is more verbosity. Note that I didn't even remove it. But have it your way. And that one edit summary you complain about, I had an edit conflict with an IP editor, so please forgive me. Drmies (talk) 22:41, 8 August 2014 (UTC)

Transformers "Billing Block"
STATicVapor, there's something despicable going on involving one of your edits. You've seemed to have some good edits to show for, but the edit for the Transformers: Age of Extincsion block is obserd and pointless. Why cast only Mark and Stanley when there's clearly more than one maincharacter throughout the movie? What's the purpose? - Theironminer (talk), 10:38, 10 August, 2014 — Preceding undated comment added 14:39, 10 August 2014 (UTC)


 * Complain all you want. There is consensus to only list those that are on the poster's billing block. See Template: Infobox film. It says for the starring field you should, "Insert the names of the actors as they are listed in the billing block of the poster for the film's original theatrical release. If unavailable, use the top-billed actors from the screen credits. Other additions by consensus." STATic message me!   17:23, 10 August 2014 (UTC)

Then the artists who made that poster obviously didn't care about putting more actors in the credits who play important characters. The 'starring' section shouldn't have to be like what the poster says, if there's more important characters in the movie than Mark and Stanely, then they should be put in that section. And I consider your previous word choice of "complain all you want" to be very rude and uncalled for. - Theironminer (talk), 15:27, 10 August, 2014


 * I guess they didn't, some of the actors you added sure deserved to be listed, but this was not an artist decision, it was a studio decision. If you think it should not have to be what the poster says take it to Template talk: Infobox film, because that is what the current consensus of film article editors is. Or if you want local consensus, wait for someone to respond to you on the article talk page. You are being very rude to me, calling my edit "obserd (sic) and pointless", but you think I am the rude one. STATic message me!   19:43, 10 August 2014 (UTC)

The Lego Movie
Your message to my talk page is patronizing and rude. I hope you know that I've been a Wikipedian longer than you; please don't treat more experienced members in such a demeaning way. As for the edit you reverted, WP:V hardly applies. The relevant information is at WP:MINREF, which states that not everything needs a reference. Per MINREF: "Technically, if an article contains none of these four types of material (BLP material, material that could be or was challenged, direct quotations), then it is not required by any policy to name any sources at all, either as inline citations or as general references".-- ɱ  (talk)  15:32, 10 August 2014 (UTC)


 * That is kind of sad then, you should not be adding your own original research to articles. WP:V certainly applies and all subjective content MUST be sourced. You are also directly contradicting yourself, it certainly was "material that could be or was challenged", it was tagged with Template:CN, and then I later removed it. So two editors challenged it and you still restored it without a source. STATic message me!   17:25, 10 August 2014 (UTC)
 * I like how you say (in your edit notice for this talk page) "...I'm not new, so please don't slap me with a generic "Welcome to Wikipedia" warning template", yet you do that to editors who are older than you? I think you're contradicting yourself. Anyway, the content was not subjective or could be rightfully challenged. The information you removed does not need a reference, being simple, understandable, and unquestionable material. Anyone who has seen the film can tell you that those are themes relevant to the film. It should not have been given a CN tag. Whoever gave it the tag was thinking just like you, that 'whatever content doesn't have a citation needs to go'. The CN tag is only used in good judgement of material that is probably false. As stated on MINREF, "Editors are expected to use good judgment when determining whether material has been challenged." If any editor expresses doubt in the veracity of the material, the proper procedure is to put a CN tag and dispute the fact's truth on the talk page, not merely tag it and delete it soon afterwards. Too many Wikipedians have no sense of proper procedure. Until several editors honestly express doubt in that content's accuracy, the content has all rights to stay.-- ɱ  (talk)  20:32, 10 August 2014 (UTC)
 * To be clear - you can't just challenge it because you want a citation. There has to be a strong reason for you to doubt the content's veracity. That hasn't been stated by anyone, so as of now, the content by all means has the right to be included.-- ɱ  (talk)  20:39, 10 August 2014 (UTC)


 * An older Wikipedia editor, does not mean you are the wiser one. If you created your account before me and you are still violating WP:V and WP:NOR, then that is a serious problem. The content was certainly subjective and per WP:V all content in a encyclopedia should be cited. Your statement of "Anyone who has seen the film can tell you that those are themes relevant to the film", just proves even more that you do not understand the Wikipedia policy of WP:OR. I have seen the film myself, but I would not create a unsourced section about my opinion of the themes the film covers. STATic message me!   04:39, 11 August 2014 (UTC)
 * You're wrong, an older editor just doesn't necessarily mean I engross myself in the particulars of the many Wikipedia policies and guidelines. I am a largely a contributor of content on Wikipedia and the Commons, I do not specialise in such trivial matters. And you can say that the information is subjective all you want, but it is simply understandable and unquestionable material. Also, I am surprised that when I tell you standard and certainly courteous procedure for removing content, you just proceed to insult me and my knowledge of policy. And WP:V may tell you one thing, though WP:POLICIES and WP:RULES specify that WP:V and the other policy pages are not hard-and-fast rules that must be obeyed; it's the same reasoning behind WP:IAR. I am in the middle of disputing a WP:V inconsistency anyway; I will get back to you on this. It is still clear that your arguments are incorrect just like so many others have argued this; please see Perennial proposals on 'requiring inline citations for everything'.-- ɱ  (talk)  11:31, 11 August 2014 (UTC)

Hi, you commented "delete" on Maat Morrison article for deletion. The subject clearly do not fail on WP:MUSICBIO for criteria for musician and ensembles:

11. Has been placed in rotation nationally by a major radio or music television network. 12. Has been a featured subject of a substantial broadcast segment across a national radio or TV network.

as described in the subject, the musician has reached popularity on national radio rotation (in case of him, international) in the United States. Can you please describe me, why you don't agree with the page, is it bad to help Wikipedia adding new musicians?

Have a great day HaroldSalasI (talk) 04:25, 12 August 2014 (UTC)


 * There is no reliable third party source for his music being played on US radio and it must have been put on rotation, not just played. As for 12, the article does not indicate that happened. When it is "as described in the subject", how do you know it is true and they are not just trying to make themselves seem more notable? It is not bad by creating articles, but we have notability guidelines so not everyone that picks up a mic has a Wikipedia article. STATic message me!   16:22, 12 August 2014 (UTC)

Hi, I'm new to this but I've been trying to follow a discussion that you have been involved in and I follow your point. It seems that the article is discussed in many different places in WP and many of the discussions have been moved making it hard to understand what's going on.

I noticed that this archive [] which says "do not change" cannot be found on the subject's talk page and the archives that are there seem radically different.

Snowgoons Page
hi, this ia manuu from the snowgoons. i want to ask you if you could put our label Goon MuSick in the info section before the old label Babygrande. further could you help me set up the Goon MuSick wikipedia page? you can email too so i can send you all the info at manuu@snowgoons.de

thanks alot for your work peace manuu --Snowgoons (talk) 15:00, 14 August 2014 (UTC)


 * Putting it first would be fine, feel free to do that. It is just meant to list every label, not just the current one you guys release music under. I am afraid I would not be able to help you with a record label page as my time on here is much more limited and I hardly write articles anymore. Maybe instead make a section in the Snowgoons about the record label and I might be able to help you with that. STATic message me!   15:35, 14 August 2014 (UTC)


 * I will change it soon but i wanna set the Goon MuSick page first so i can link it. Unfortunatly someone deleted it and i have to rewrite it first. I'll also make a section in Snowgoons page as you suggested. Thanks for your time and help, i really appreciate it. --Snowgoons (talk) 16:48, 14 August 2014 (UTC)

 * update: i placed our target logo image inside the infobox of the Snowgoons page. The label is called Goon MuSick not Goons MuSick (someone wrote Goons MuSick). i fixed it. The Goon MuSick page/article is waiting for a review and is located over here User:Snowgoons/Goon MuSick. I don't know if it's ok to link it (inside the Snowgoons article) yet because the link might change to Goon MuSick once it is on mainstream? wiki is still pretty new to me =) I also moved Goon MuSick infront of Babygrande (info box). have a great day Snowgoons (talk) 08:26, 16 August 2014 (UTC)

So Far Genre
I understand what you mean about the need for neutral point of view in relation to the genre of the song So Far.... I still believe that comedy rap should be placed as a genre however.

Edit
I'm new here on Wikipedia. Can you edit the article I've created, Denzel Curry. I don't know what you mean by reliable and secondary sources, and I don't want it to be deleted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nba-fan-11 (talk • contribs) 23:38, 14 August 2014 (UTC)


 * When you leave talk page messages, you should sign them with four ~ symbols, just letting you know. As for your question, see WP:RS and WP:IRS. Examples of reliable sources for music subjects are MTV, XXL, The Fader, HipHopDX, Complex, Spin, among many others. See a good example at WikiProject Albums/Sources. The article is not currently up for deletion, it is a tag that says there are notability concerns. Articles on rappers have to meet WP:GNG or WP:MUSICBIO. I see that is only has two refs to reliable third party sources (DJBooth and Complex), which is not enough. This is why when you created Bas (rapper) I added a bunch of sources to the article, so no one could question the notability. STATic message me!   00:09, 15 August 2014 (UTC)

Yukmouth and reliable sources
Hey man,

The edit I did was regarding associated acts. I added  2 Live Crew and the 2 members Fresh Kid Ice and Brother Marquis.

Luniz the band of Yukmouth did a featuring on the 2 Live Crew album The Real one. At the time of The Real one Fresh Kid Ice and Brother Marquis were the only two members of 2 Live Crew.

See for yourself https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Real_One.

Also I still haven't figured on how to attach reliable sources.

Fresh Kid Ice Page
Dear STATICVapor,

Please Stop tempering with the Fresh Kid Ice page, however I invite you to help me improve it. I have putted a lot of work into it. This gentlemen is one of the founding father and still a current member of the revolutionary group 2 Live Crew, on top of discovering the rapper Flo Rida. If you need citations I will get to it shortly. While Mr. Mixx and Luther Campbell have pages of their own, I don't understand why you are doing this. I also intend to make a page for the other 2 Live Crew Member Brother Marquis. If you want me to improve my writing, my methods, or my style please give constructive feedback but please do not delete my work.

Thank You

Filmman3000


 * I already explained my reasoning to you. The subject is not very significant outside of the group and the consensus of Articles for deletion/Fresh Kid Ice was closed as a redirect, so it must stay that way. STATic message me!   21:33, 15 August 2014 (UTC)


 * Well I disagree with that kind of reasoning we would have to cancel the pages of Dj Yella, Mc Ren, other 2 Live Crew Members, Pete Best, all underground artist, and so forth. The guy is in a major band, discovered Flo Rida, and is the first Asian Rapper on a Platinum Rap Album. If 2 Live Crew never had a Gold record I would agree. So no it must not stay that way. I will debate it and it is not obliged to stay this way. Don't get me wrong I respect your devotion, and please leave my work alone.

Sales figures
I see that you reverted the edit for the sales figure of All of Me. I believe you misunderstood why Hits Daily Double sales figures are not considered reliable. The HDD figures that are considered unreliable are from the building charts and predictions - they collect only information from the major vendors (one day or 3-4 day sales for the prediction and the whole week for the building chart) and extrapolate sales for all vendors in these charts. The extrapolation of the sales is why those figures are unreliable. However, apart from those charts, HDD uses SoundScan numbers and not their own. For example, in this chart, it gives Jason Aldean's previous album (Night Train) first week sales as being 409,000, however its own building chart that week gave the first week sales as 415,155. The 409,000 figure is the SoundScan number. I can give a few other examples. Note that the sales figures in this particular page, although SoundScan figures, are also not used - not because they are unreliable, but because those figures disappear once the album are out so you can't check the figure in the future, and HDD does not allow the page to be cached. The page I cited however is a news item with SoundScan numbers and does not disappear like the other page. Hzh (talk) 11:05, 17 August 2014 (UTC)

The Night Runners
Why did you request Deletion of my page The Night Runners?? Did you not look at the references? They are public figures as reported on IMDB, Wikipedia, and many more. --Iampixiedust (talk) 22:10, 24 August 2014 (UTC)

This page should not be deleted because all references have been already previously approved. All references have been well credited from reliable sources such as IMDB, the The X Factor (U.S. season 1) Wikipedia page where The Night Runners were then known as "Illusion Confusion" while being on the show. If you google search "Illusion Confusion X Factor" and look at the images you will clearly see that they are now known as The Night Runners and are public figures. No content on this page violates any copyrights. All content is verifiable, and all terms and conditions are met with The Night Runners Wikipedia page. This page is credible due to The Night Runners being living public figures in the Entertainment industry, specifically the music industry. I kindly ask that you do not delete this page.

Perhaps you should read A7 in the speedy deletion section as it states: It is irrelevant whether the claim of notability within the article is not sufficient for the notability guidelines. If the claim is credible, the A7 tag can not be applied. Often what seems non-notable to a new page patroller is shown to be notable in a deletion discussion. Meaning just because you may not be familiar with the show "X Factor USA" or "The Night Runners" for that matter, does not grant you the right to request deletion of this page when substantial evidence and references have been cited to discredit your accusation of The Night Runners page being deleted.


 * Yes I did, none of them are third party reliable sources. Well it is now up for AfD, so the discussion shall decide it. I know what X Factor is, but not even group/singer that makes it to the main show gets an article. They must meet WP:BAND. STATic  message me!   04:05, 25 August 2014 (UTC)

Abuse from Koala15 - Run the Jewels - need help
Hi there, I need your help!

I have been watching the activity within the Run the Jewels (album) page and I've noticed that Koala15 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Koala15) has been unnecessarily removing other user's contribution to the Run the Jewels album and artists page, despite the contributions being reasonably or well sourced. The recent reasons given by @koala15 for removing other users contribution suggests personal preference. For instance, @koala15 refuses to accept the relevance of non-US labels in relation to the Run the Jewels project. Run the Jewels licensed and released their first album on a non-US label (Big Dada / Ninja Tune), for European release; this information was taken from a valid source. Even El-P of Run the Jewels credits this label with helping to expand its accesibility - see this source: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2BLnKpEW6pg

Is there a way to report a complaint on this user to Wikipedia's admin?

Thanks


 * Hello, sorry I will not be much help as the page is currently fully protected due to your two's edit war, which you are both lucky for not being blocked for. However on the subject, Template: Infobox album says "only the record label that the album was originally released on should be specified. Where significantly different versions have been released (featuring alternative track listings) e.g. in the US vs UK, the later release date or record label should be mentioned in the article, for example in a Release history section."

Sup STATicVapor! I recently made a few edits to the article that I had started for JGramm Beats. If you could please review them for me I would greatly appreciated it. Malcolmrevere (talk) 14:44, 27 August 2014 (UTC)


 * Out of the references currently in the article, three are considered third-party reliable sources: Complex, Vice and Fact, but out of those three, only the Vice source would be considered significant independent coverage. The other two are only trivial mentions, as the articles are not about JGramm, they only mention him. At this point I think it is a bit WP:TOOSOON for an article on this producer as he is still mostly unknown and reliable sources have not significantly covered him yet. He has yet to meet WP:GNG.

WikiCup 2014 August newsletter
The final of the 2014 WikiCup begins in a few short minutes! Our eight finalists are listed below, along with their placement in Round 4:


 * , a WikiCup newcomer, finished top of Pool A and was the round's highest scorer. Godot is a featured picture specialist, claiming large numbers of points due to high-quality scans of historical documents, especially banknotes.
 * 1) is a WikiCup veteran, having been a finalist every year since 2010. In the semi-final, he was Pool B's highest scorer. Cas's points primarily come from articles on the natural sciences.
 * 2) was Pool A's runner-up. Czar's points come mostly from content related to independent video games, including both articles and topics.
 * 3) was Pool B's runner-up. Another featured picture specialist, many of Adam's points come from the restoration of historical media. He has been a WikiCup finalist twice before.
 * 4) won the WikiCup in 2012 and 2013, and enters this final as the first wildcard. She focuses on biology-related articles, and has worked on several high-importance articles.
 * 5) is the second wildcard. George's points come primarily from meteorology-related articles. This year and last year, George was the first person in the competition to score.
 * , the third wildcard, was the 2010 champion and a finalist last year. His writes mostly on military history, especially naval history.
 * , the fourth and final wildcard, has participated in previous WikiCups, but not reached any finals. Bloom's points are mostly thanks to did you knows, featured lists and good articles related to sport and national symbols.

We say goodbye to this year's semi-finalists. ,, , , , and  have all performed well to reach this stage of the competition, and we hope they will all be joining us again next year.

There are two upcoming competitions unrelated to the WikiCup which may be of interest to those who receive this newsletter. The Stub Contest will run through September, and revolves around expanding stub articles, especially high-importance or old stubs. In addition, a proposal has been made for a new competition, the GA Cup, which the organisers plan to run next year. This competition is based on the WikiCup and aims to reduce the good article review backlog.

There is now a thread for brainstorming on how next year's WikiCup competition should work. Please come along and share your thoughts- What works? What doesn't work? What needs changing? Signups for next year's competition will be open soon; we will be in touch. If, at this stage of the competition, you are keen to help the with the WikiCup, please do what you can to participate in review processes. Our finalists will find things much easier if the backlogs at good article candidates, featured article candidates, featured picture candidates and the rest are kept at a minimum. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Edit the line about stone creek having a gang problem in Riff Raffs wiki page
Hello,

I was hoping you would remove the line about the stone creek area of Houston "developing a gang problem" in the early life section of Riff Raff's profile. It was stated in the LA Weekly article about Riff Raff but is unverified. No police log or article that I can find refers to a gang problem in stone creek so I feel it may not stand up to accuracy standards. I would do it myself but the page is locked. I noticed you were able to edit the page. Could you help me amend the description? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bays21 (talk • contribs) 02:03, 4 September 2014 (UTC)


 * The LA Weekly, a reliable source says it. There is nothing saying there wasn't so why would it be removed? Police logs are not available just like that and to be honest, almost all cities have gang problems, so even though it is not Compton, there are probably still gang problems. STATic message me!   05:51, 4 September 2014 (UTC)

I own property in the area. It does not have a gang problem documented in any other source other than a hearsay account in LA Weekly. Any inference that there is a gang problem in the area can effect the perception of an area as well as the value of the investments in that area. Consequently I feel it would be best to remove that inference. I'm not trying to be a jerk or anything I simply found this by looking at famous people from my zip and found this as a result. Is there perhaps some sort of proof I could provide you to make the edit? I'm happy to secure crime logs for the area and in doing so demonstrate that there is not a gang problem at all. Perhaps the occasional unkept lawn but that's about it. I hope this doesn't make me sound like some greedy land baron I just want the area to be accurately depicted and I'm happy to prove that it is a safe place. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bays21 (talk • contribs) 21:02, 5 September 2014 (UTC)

I'm a fan of Adriana Evans and her great music, did you know "Remember the Love" was and is still one of Adriana Evans most popular songs all around the world and used on the very popular Logo TV series Noah's Arc as well on soundtracks to the Noah's Arc Jumping the Broom movie and the series TV soundtrack. I just felt her song "Remember the Love" highly deserves its own article page and devoted my time to provide as much valuable resources references and external, this is one of her most popular songs in her professional music career.

Regarding article page redirected Remember the Love
Hi i'm thinking it prob would've been better to have noted bulletin at top of article page for Remember the Love stating please help enhance this article page by providing more additional resources, then to have page redirected. I know that bulletin is used often on a few article pages on wikipedia. There are plenty available verification resources online regarding the song "Remember the Love" and the artist Adriana Evans altogether.

Regarding article page redirected Reality (Adriana Evans song)
Hello, i'm just curious other then a redirect as i just notice your edit redirect for Reality (Adriana Evans song), wouldn't be best as to help improve the article page with more valuable resources yourself or other members then to just redirect the page altogether. Still hard to believe you left a message on my page saying Great Article written for Remember the Love, then later you redirect the page altogether, i don't understand. Still i will mention that's why there is bulletin notes above the article page to state please help enhance or this page by helping to provide additional resources or information regarding the article page. I may need to take a break from taking time and effort to creating a great article page on wikipedia, it gets very frustrating even though i received high rewards compliments from many of the editors on wikipedia through out the last two years.

Hey! Quick Question.
Hey, how's it going? Just curious what is needed to keep the NIKO IS article up? He has 2 notable sources Orlando Weekly (40,000 print copies a week, and 200,000 weekly visitors) and Vibe.com. His music is posted on major hip hop blogs (Hip Hop DX, All Hip Hop, 2DopeBoyz, and many more).

So I'm always editing box office numbers and you're always changing them to shorter versions (eg $24.6 million).

Linkin Park - Hiatus
Uh...I forgot to mention that Linkin Park went on hiatus by September or October 2004 after the last show which was in Sao Paulo.

The reason for this was because the band wanted to give Mike Shinoda a chance to do a side-project, during the making of their 2nd record, Meteora, and during the world tour of the album, he been making Hip-Hop music, his bandmates knew he been making hip-hop the whole time, so they gave him the opportunities to do this. Then the band took a break from music, but they reunited 3 times just for rehearsals, for the Music For Relief show (2005) and Live 8 show (2005) and the 48th Grammy Awards Show (2006). Mike spent time in the studio making his album The Rising Tied. afterward he rehearsed the songs then went on tour. By July 2006, Linkin Park reunited for good, they begun production on the next album which was Minutes To Midnight. By August 2006, his side-project Fort Minor and Linkin Park performed (which was on August 12th, 2006 - Osaka, JP), the only time in history that he ever did that. After that Linkin Park returned to the studio to continue production on M.T.M.. Fort Minor went on hiatus by November 2006, a year after Shinoda released his side-project album.

And...

Here is something you might not know (a lot of people don't know this) but Rick Rubin told the band that they should make music they want, not what their fans want, the early demos/ideas were the same as Hybrid Theory and Meteora, they changed up the sound of the music. Look at the song "QWERTY", its was a song written by Linkin Park on the second week of August in 2006, its written in just 4 days. I read some interview, that style was planned for the next album, but it was for the Japan Tour and was a Reunited Song, to show that they've returned/reunited. They didn't have time to record the song in time, so they record the song after the Japan run but recorded it a littlebit different then it was performed in Japan.

Fast forward to 2014 - The Hunting Party ...the album idea take off where the band left off before Rick Rubin told them to write music they wanted. And Shinoda was disappointed with how rock music is today, he wanted to bring back what rock music is all about, and to return Linkin Park to their Nu-Metal roots.

Shinoda reunited with his friends Styles Of Beyond to make another album, a follow-up to The Rising Tied, it plan-release is either this year or next year. Fort Minor been on hiatus since November 2006 to until the album is release, at this point...I don't know if he gonna tour again as Fort Minor...but Linkin Park has more surprise in store for 2015.

I'm a hard-core Linkin Park fan, I know my stuff.

Terminator Movies
It seems that movie series made a mistake, John was conceived on May 15th, 1984 by Sarah and Kyle, nearly 9 months later on February 28, 1985, Sarah gave birth to John. The terminator was send back in time to protect him when he was just 10-years-old, T3 mentions it was 13-years.

John Connor = February 28th, 1985 - July 4th, 2032

WikiCup 2015 is just around the corner...
Hello everyone, and may we wish you all a happy holiday season. As you will probably already know, the 2015 WikiCup begins in the new year; there is still time to sign up. We have a few important announcements concerning the future of the WikiCup.


 * We would like to announce that Josh (J Milburn) and Ed (The ed17), who have been WikiCup judges since 2009 and 2010 respectively, are stepping down. This decision has been made for a number of reasons, but the main one is time. Both Josh and Ed have found that, over the previous year, they have been unable to devote the time necessary to the WikiCup, and it is not likely that they will be able to do this in the near future. Furthermore, new people at the helm can only help to invigorate the WikiCup and keep it dynamic. Josh and Ed will still be around, and will likely be participating in the Cup this following year as competitors, which is where both started out.
 * In a similar vein, we hope you will all join us in welcoming Jason (Sturmvogel 66) and Christine (Figureskatingfan), who are joining Brian (Miyagawa) to form the 2015 WikiCup judging team. Jason is a WikiCup veteran, having won in 2010 and finishing in fifth this year. Christine has participated in two WikiCups, reaching the semi-finals in both, and is responsible for the GA Cup, which she now co-runs.
 * The discussions/polls concerning the next competition's rules will be closed soon, and rules changes will be made clear on WikiCup/Scoring and talk pages. While it may be impossible to please everyone, the judges will make every effort to ensure that the new rules are both fair and in the best interests of the competition, which is, first and foremost, about improving Wikipedia.

If you have any questions or concerns, the judges can be reached on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, on their talk pages, or by email. We hope you will all join us in trying to make the 2015 WikiCup the most productive and enjoyable yet. You are receiving this message because you are listed on WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Your dispute with BlaccCrab
Hello, STATicVapor. I have noticed that you and are having a dispute at Buy the World. Personally, to me, I think that the article does not meet the notability guidelines and standards. Edit warring can cause in long-term hatred and other forms of unacceptable behaviours that might be unfolding behind closed doors. I am a victim of a case like this, so I hope you will not feel hate against the fellow amateur editor. I have noticed that you posted a warning message on his/her talk page, and he replied you there in a rude manner. I have told him about it and hope that this dispute will end soon. I have also told him about filling blanks from pictures they have uploaded. I guess you should have a proper discussion about it with BlaccCrab, and please assume good faith. I hope you understand. Ping me for any replies, as I don't use the watchlist. Thanks, DEW.   Adrenaline  ( Nahnah4 ) 08:35, 18 December 2014 (UTC)

Dance Gavin Dance wiki page trouble
Hi. I'm not sure if you remember, but on July of this year you messaged me not to change the band Dance Gavin Dance's genre and I left it alone afterwards. On December 17 this year someone decided to remove half of the bands info about Acceptance Speech and other history from them because of this""The stuff you're adding is trite and sourced to Twitter and other non-printed webby material." Pretty much all bands Wikipedia pages have the same sources and other "non-printed" Webby material from Twitter and stuff and I don't see any of those pages info and stuff removed from it by you." Let's keep it here. You keep sticking material into other people's conversations. To answer your question: a. maybe you need to look further in my article edits. b. that is immaterial anyway. The content is simply not acceptable: we're not a fan site or a press agency or whatever. Drmies (talk) 18:28, 19 December 2014 (UTC) I was wondering if you can help me do something about this. If not, then ok. A person on Wikipedia name Drimes is the one to message about the problem
 * Hey STATIC, I suppose we're dealing with a relatively new user of good faith but with more zeal than knowledge. One part of my comment was made because they kept making comments about this band in random sections on my talk page. The more important bit is the info they keep adding, which is all of the "X announced that Y was planned" and stuff like that--the kind of info you see in K-pop articles. It's Facebook-sourced and stuff like that, and it's not actually information, since it's not about facts but announcements of and suspicions about facts. Drmies (talk) 22:50, 19 December 2014 (UTC)

WikiCup 2015 launch newsletter
Round one of the 2015 WikiCup has begun! So far we've had around 80 signups, which close on February 5. If you have not already signed up and want to do so, then you can add your name here. There have been changes to to several of the points scores for various categories, and the addition of Peer Reviews for the first time. These will work in the same manner as Good Article Reviews, and all of the changes are summarised here.

Remember that only the top 64 scoring competitors will make it through to the second round, and one of the new changes this year is that all scores must be claimed within two weeks of an article's promotion or appearance, so don't forget to add them to your submissions pages! If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAN, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages. Good luck! , and

WikiCup 2015 March newsletter
That's it, the first round is done, sign-ups are closed and we're into round 2. 64 competitors made it into this round, and are now broken into eight groups of eight. The top two of each group will go through to round 3, and then the top scoring 16 "wildcards" across all groups. Round 1 saw some interesting work on some very important articles, with the round leader owing most of his 622 points scored to a Featured Article on the 2001 film Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within which qualified for a times-two multiplier. This is a higher score than in previous years, as had 500 points in 2014 at the end of round 1, and our very own judge,  led round 1 with 601 points in 2013.

In addition to Freikorp's work, some other important articles and pictures were improved during round one, here's a snapshot of a few of them:
 * took Bumblebee, a level-4 vital article, to Good Article;
 * worked-up the Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 article, also to Good Article status;
 * developed an extremely timely article to Good Article, taking Magna Carta there some 800 years after it was first sealed;
 * And last but not least, worked up a number of Featured Pictures during round 1, including the 1948 one Deutsche Mark (pictured right), receiving the maximum bonus due to the number of Wikis that the related article appears in.

You may also wish to know that The Core Contest is running through the month of March. Head there for further details - they even have actual prizes!

If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on WikiCup/Reviews. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Super Duper Kyle 'Light Of Mine' Production Credits
Hi STATicVapor,

I noticed you made the most significant update to the production credits on Light of Mine, and the reference lists iTunes as the only source for the tracklisting, yet when I navigate to the info section in Apple Music that lists the composers (that service's most in-depth form of credit attribution), the credits are not nearly as precise as the ones you have. I'm just wondering what your source for the production credits is? (I'm not asking as like some wikipedia stickler, I'm actually an editor on genius.com and trying to make sure I have the most up-to-date credits for the album on there).

Lemme know, thanks again!
