To-do list for Hip hop culture:

edit · history · watch · refresh

Here are some tasks you can do:

Cleanup: references/endnotes:The refs that are there need to be more detailed and consistent - internet refs should have url, title, publisher, author if known, and date accessed (using {{cite web}} and the other cite templates may be useful).
Copyedit: The Table of Contents is very long (some sections may need to be combined). The lead is very short and should probably be three or four full paragraphs instead of two short paragraphs made of three sentences. The lead should summarize the whole article. Also, make sure to avoid or explain jargon, see WP:JARGON
Expand: The lead is very short and should probably be three or four full paragraphs instead of two short paragraphs made of three sentences.
Verify: In its current state this does not seem to meet the well referenced requirement. Several whole sections here have no references - DJing, Breakdancing, Beatboxing, Language, Religion.
Wikify: This article also seems overlinked.
Other: Many thanks to Ruhrfisch _><>°^° for the above suggestions.

[edit] Merger proposal

Just a thought, but is it known as Hip Hop or Hip Hop culture? I would hence merge Hip Hop culture into the article Hip Hop, rather than visa versa. Its developed from a music style to a culture, rather than the other way around, and we normally use the common term over anything else. I have no doubt that Hip Hop music and culture are now one thing, so the merger is a good idea. Rgds, --Trident13 (talk) 16:19, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

Couldn't agree more, there's no sense in having Hip hop, which in the article states, Hip hop is a cultural movement..., and Hip hop culture. stevenrasnick 7:33 16 October, 2008 (UTC)
I've been arguing for this for a long long time. It's extremely obvious that hip hop culture should be deleted and merged in to hip hop. Cosprings (talk) 18:06, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
Agreed!! Two separate articles just asks for a POV war. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 14:35, 19 November 2008 (UTC)
Agree. Just stumbled across this page from another and there's no need for two. Very confusing for non-experts on the subject.extraordinary (talk) 11:13, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
Agree. This page is getting to be a mess, confusing the 4 pillars with other elements people feel necessary to add uncited. Relaxing (talk) 19:41, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
