Template
Something's wrong with the template. It tried to fix it, but to no avail. Blackjays1 (talk) 21:07, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I believe I've fixed it. It had a number of problems caused mainly by "reggae" not being capitalized as "Reggae". Also, most of the necessary categories didn't exist. I've created them all and deleted the old ones that weren't capitalized. You should now be ready to go with all of your project template use & assessment needs. --IllaZilla (talk) 06:57, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

Edit war at Reggaeton article
While this project page doesn't say it covers reggaeton, the project's template is on Talk:Reggaeton. There's been an edit war at Reggaeton and neither warnings, nor requests to leave the article alone and discuss on the talk page, nor temporary semi-protection has accomplished anything. Can anyone here help? —Largo Plazo (talk) 16:53, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

Coordinators' working group
Hi! I'd like to draw your attention to the new WikiProject coordinators' working group, an effort to bring both official and unofficial WikiProject coordinators together so that the projects can more easily develop consensus and collaborate. This group has been created after discussion regarding possible changes to the A-Class review system, and that may be one of the first things discussed by interested coordinators.

All designated project coordinators are invited to join this working group. If your project hasn't formally designated any editors as coordinators, but you are someone who regularly deals with coordination tasks in the project, please feel free to join as well. &mdash; Delievered by §hepBot  ( Disable )  on behalf of the WikiProject coordinators' working group at 06:24, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

Article alerts
This is a notice to let you know about Article alerts, a fully-automated subscription-based news delivery system designed to notify WikiProjects and Taskforces when articles are entering Articles for deletion, Requests for comment, Peer review and other workflows (full list). The reports are updated on a daily basis, and provide brief summaries of what happened, with relevant links to discussion or results when possible. A certain degree of customization is available; WikiProjects and Taskforces can choose which workflows to include, have individual reports generated for each workflow, have deletion discussion transcluded on the reports, and so on. An example of a customized report can be found here.

If you are already subscribed to Article Alerts, it is now easier to report bugs and request new features. We are also in the process of implementing a "news system", which would let projects know about ongoing discussions on a wikipedia-wide level, and other things of interest. The developers also note that some subscribing WikiProjects and Taskforces use the  parameter, but forget to give a link to their alert page. Your alert page should be located at "Wikipedia:PROJECT-OR-TASKFORCE-HOMEPAGE/Article alerts". Questions and feedback should be left at Wikipedia talk:Article alerts.

Message sent by User:Addbot to all active wiki projects per request, Comments on the message and bot are welcome here.

Thanks. — Headbomb {{{sup|ταλκ}}κοντριβς – WP Physics} 09:36, 15 March, 2009 (UTC)

U-Roy article edit
Hi.

I've done some editing to the U-Roy article. Removed commas that appeared before Conjunctions and checked Genitive Case. Also edited some of the longer sentences so that the object or subject of the sentence was clearer. Sentences that contain many subjects and objects tend to present the reader with a long list of information that is difficult to remember. Please feel free to communicate your thoughts on what I have done.

Request for comment on Biographies of living people
Hello Wikiproject! Currently there is a discussion which will decide whether wikipedia will delete 49,000 articles about a living person without references, here:

Requests for comment/Biographies of living people

Since biographies of living people covers so many topics, many wikiproject topics will be effected.

The two opposing positions which have the most support is:
 * 1) supports the deletion of unreferenced articles about a living person, User:Jehochman
 * 2) opposes the deletion of unreferenced articles about a living person, except in limited circumstances, User:Collect

Comments are welcome. Keep in mind that by default, editor's comments are hidden. Simply press edit next to the section to add your comment.

Please keep in mind that at this point, it seems that editors support deleting unreferenced BLP articles if they are not sourced, so your project may want to source these articles as soon as possible. See the next, message, which may help.

Tools to help your project with unreferenced Biographies of living people
If you don't already have this and are interested in creating a list of articles which need cleanup for your wikiproject see: Cleanup listings A list of examples is here
 * List of cleanup articles for your project

If you are interested in moving unreferenced blp articles that your project covers, to a special "incubation page", contact me, User talk:Ikip
 * Moving unreferenced blp articles to a special "[[WP:Incubation|incubation pages"

If you are interested in watchlisting all of the unreferenced articles once you install Cleanup_listings, contact me, User talk:Ikip

Proposed deletion of List of reggae sound systems


The article List of reggae sound systems has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * per WP:NOTDIRECTORY, vast majority have no credible claim of significance, let alone an article or other source as suggested by Template:Uw-badlistentry

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing  will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. VernoWhitney (talk) 18:04, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

Editing warring on an article: your input would be appreciated
There is a discussion taking place about the Dancehall article. Different editors have different ideas about what should be put in the article.

If anyone could pop over and read what is being said (and the different versions of the article in the history), then it would be most useful! The discussion is here. -- Phantom Steve /talk &#124;contribs \ 17:13, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

Robert Dixon (musician)
Robert Dixon (musician) seems to be relevant to your project. The article was in a pretty bad shape, so I edited it removing promotional material and sticking to facts. I know nothing of Reggae, so you should probably give it a look. --Muhandes (talk) 17:24, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

I should point out, this article is now called "Bobby "Digital"" K. (talk) 11:52, 12 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Should really be at Bobby Digital (Jamaican producer) I would have thought, unless anyone has a better suggestion - we have a disambiguation page at Bobby Digital so it can't have that title and needs disambiguation. He's usually referred to simply as Bobby Digital, so the quotes shouldn't really be there. --Michig (talk) 17:04, 12 September 2012 (UTC)


 * You know, I didn't even think of that, I put it as Bobby "Digital because Bobby Digital was taken, I shall change it now. K. (talk) 18:16, 12 September 2012 (UTC)

Pampidoo article needs help
The article on musician Pampidoo "...most famous single, "Governor General" " needs attention. I'm not convinced that this subject meets theWP:MUSICBIO notability criteria. I've added one (not particularly strong) reference but it really needs more than this. I'm posting here in case someone in this Project with better knowledge than me would care to take an interest.--Plad2 (talk) 17:02, 1 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Pampidoo, other than performing for King Jammys sound system and releasing an album on the label, wasn't exactly a leading artist during his time, so information from reliable sources may be scarce at best. If I ever come across something, I'll be sure to add it.--Chimino (talk) 12:03, 23 January 2011 (UTC)

Reggae articles have been selected for the Wikipedia 0.8 release
Version 0.8 is a collection of Wikipedia articles selected by the Wikipedia 1.0 team for offline release on USB key, DVD and mobile phone. Articles were selected based on their assessed importance and quality, then article versions (revisionIDs) were chosen for trustworthiness (freedom from vandalism) using an adaptation of the WikiTrust algorithm.

We would like to ask you to review the Reggae articles and revisionIDs we have chosen. Selected articles are marked with a diamond symbol (&diams;) to the right of each article, and this symbol links to the selected version of each article. If you believe we have included or excluded articles inappropriately, please contact us at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.8 with the details. You may wish to look at your WikiProject's articles with cleanup tags and try to improve any that need work; if you do, please give us the new revisionID at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.8. We would like to complete this consultation period by midnight UTC on Monday, October 11th.

We have greatly streamlined the process since the Version 0.7 release, so we aim to have the collection ready for distribution by the end of October, 2010. As a result, we are planning to distribute the collection much more widely, while continuing to work with groups such as One Laptop per Child and Wikipedia for Schools to extend the reach of Wikipedia worldwide. Please help us, with your WikiProject's feedback!

Reggaeton articles
To my ears, reggaeton only seems to be marginally related to reggae. We have quite a few reggaeton artists tagged as part of this project. Is it really appropriate to include these in this project?--Michig (talk) 19:32, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm new here, but I agree whole-heartedly. Reggaeton is a genre influenced by reggae, but that is where the link ends. Other than a couple peripheral dancehall artists, there are no notable reggae artists who dabble in the reggaeton genre, and reggaeton should not be part of the reggae portal.--Chimino (talk) 11:58, 23 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Ditto, there's been surprisingly few reggaeton-Jamaican fusions, likely due to the language barrier, though there's a comparatively good amount of French reggae/dancehall/ragga. If I remember my history correctly, reggaeton originated from Panama and was quickly imported to Puerto Rico, being characterized by the dem bow riddim.  Other than some structural similarities, e.g. the use of riddims and hip-hop music techniques (which originated from Jamaicans in NYC), I don't really see any connections between the two genres.  Nikki (talk) 19:18, 24 December 2011 (UTC)

WikiProject cleanup listing
I have created together with Smallman12q a toolserver tool that shows a weekly-updated list of cleanup categories for WikiProjects, that can be used as a replacement for WolterBot and this WikiProject is among those that are already included (because it is a member of Category:WolterBot cleanup listing subscriptions). See the tool's wiki page, this project's listing in one big table or by categories and the index of WikiProjects. Svick (talk) 20:29, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

Jacob Miller
His wikification is still listed as an open project, but the Jacob Miller page looks pretty good as it stands now. Is this an outdated listing?--Chimino (talk) 12:00, 23 January 2011 (UTC)

Jamaican Music
I'd suggest changing the WikiProject title to "Jamaican Music" (under WikiProject_Council/Directory/Culture/Music) as opposed to "Reggae." Your description already covers genres outside of traditional "reggae" definitions, e.g. ska and dancehall, and the new title would be more definitive in scope, i.e. being more inclusive towards other genres such as mento and raggamuffin, and also delineating towards other non-Jamaican genres such as reggaeton. Fusion genres such as seggae, raggacore, & bhangramuffin could arguably be included as being produced by the Jamaican diaspora and often still distinctively Jamaican in character, though hip hop and reggaeton are likely a bit far off on that line. Nikki (talk) 19:08, 24 December 2011 (UTC)

Hi there.

I'm new to Wikipedia, but wanted to alert you to the fact that I wrote a lengthy Wiki entry for Alvin "Seeco" Patterson, which is up today. I had a series of long conversations with him this year, in which I got a lot of unknown information about his personal history.

Brown Sugar Article
Hi all. I am the business partner and manager of Kofi (musician). I have created a sub-page for Lovers Rock trio Brown Sugar. Search: User:50cghijc/Brown Sugar (group) This article needs input and any source references you guys can contribute before going 'live'. It is very difficult to draw back information due to the group being together for a relatively short time. Current information is from a combination of sources including Pauline Catlin's own bio, Kofi's own memories and random 'Google' searches none of which fit with Wiki's requirements. Some points were picked up from the film 'The Story Of Lovers Rock' Chris Hills 11:30, 27 August 2012 (UTC)

Hi all, I just created an article for "007 (Shanty Town)," Desmond Dekker's 1967 hit.

Proposed article for Jim Fox (Lion and Fox Recording Studios)
I am seeking assistance with an article that has been declined. Jim Fox recorded and co-produced every Israel Vibration album between 1987 and 2003, including their first recording outside of Jamaica 'Strength Of My Life' (RAS) 1987. He recorded/co-produced Black Uhuru's Brutal Dub album which was the first dub album nominated for a Grammy. He also produced and recorded Groundation's albums, SOJA's albums, and Rebelution's albums.

I have many reliable sources that reference Fox in addition to his Discography of more than 250 reggae albums. Problem is, the reviewing editors will not accept these sources (interviews, reggae websites, trade mags) even though they are accepted on other reggae pages throughout Wiki. Unfortunately, reggae does not command the same high-profile sources as other genres. However, if there is a "REGGAE" category (and obviously there is) Fox should be included.

Please help!

Comment on the WikiProject X proposal
Hello there! As you may already know, most WikiProjects here on Wikipedia struggle to stay active after they've been founded. I believe there is a lot of potential for WikiProjects to facilitate collaboration across subject areas, so I have submitted a grant proposal with the Wikimedia Foundation for the "WikiProject X" project. WikiProject X will study what makes WikiProjects succeed in retaining editors and then design a prototype WikiProject system that will recruit contributors to WikiProjects and help them run effectively. Please review the proposal here and leave feedback. If you have any questions, you can ask on the proposal page or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you for your time! (Also, sorry about the posting mistake earlier. If someone already moved my message to the talk page, feel free to remove this posting.) Harej (talk) 22:48, 1 October 2014 (UTC)

WikiProject X is live!


Hello everyone!

You may have received a message from me earlier asking you to comment on my WikiProject X proposal. The good news is that WikiProject X is now live! In our first phase, we are focusing on research. At this time, we are looking for people to share their experiences with WikiProjects: good, bad, or neutral. We are also looking for WikiProjects that may be interested in trying out new tools and layouts that will make participating easier and projects easier to maintain. If you or your WikiProject are interested, check us out! Note that this is an opt-in program; no WikiProject will be required to change anything against its wishes. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!

Note: To receive additional notifications about WikiProject X on this talk page, please add this page to WikiProject X/Newsletter. Otherwise, this will be the last notification sent about WikiProject X.

10 ft Tall Ganja Plant
Notability concerns Hello, I spent some time on the 10 ft Tall Ganja Plant article. I could not find reliable sources for this article aside from a Billboard link indicating 5 of their albums had charted. Most of the info I could find about them was available either through blog-like musical sites. They of course have their own website and Facebook, but neither of those are independent, reliable sources. There's nothing about them on say, Pitchfork, for instance.

Project-independent quality assessments
Quality assessments by Wikipedia editors rate articles in terms of completeness, organization, prose quality, sourcing, etc. Most wikiprojects follow the general guidelines at Content assessment, but some have specialized assessment guidelines. A recent Village pump proposal was approved and has been implemented to add a class parameter to WikiProject banner shell, which can display a general quality assessment for an article, and to let project banner templates "inherit" this assessment.

No action is required if your wikiproject follows the standard assessment approach. Over time, quality assessments will be migrated up to WikiProject banner shell, and your project banner will automatically "inherit" any changes to the general assessments for the purpose of assigning categories.

However, if your project has decided to "opt out" and follow a non-standard quality assessment approach, all you have to do is modify your wikiproject banner template to pass WPBannerMeta a new custom parameter. If this is done, changes to the general quality assessment will be ignored, and your project-level assessment will be displayed and used to create categories, as at present.

Please help: continued rejection of new entry for Max and the Invaders
I've created a draft https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Max_and_the_Invaders that keeps getting rejected and I'm exhausted as to how to fix it. I feel that if I had just submitted it to this project vs. how I actually set it up (my first page), I wouldn't be dealing with this. Can someone take a look and lend a skanker from another banker a hand? Thanks, Major Detail (talk) 21:39, 11 January 2024 (UTC)
