Pink 'U + Ur Hand'

Hi, You removed my statment about the title of the song referring to ion, calling it 'untrue and prob. vandalism'. I can tell you that it wasn't vandalism. Also, if you believe it to be untrue, could I please ask what you believe the title of the song to refer to?

from the lyrics:

I'm not here for your entertainment... It's just you and your hand tonight... You know who you are High fivin, talkin ****, but you're going home alone arentcha?

Now, I believe that talking about somebody who wants to 'pull' Pink, but then saying he's going home alone, and it'll just be him and his hand, is an obvious reference to him ing alone. Unless you can provide a reason why that is not the case, I'll re-add it. You can reply either here or on my talk page. Thanks. Saccerzd 16:33, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

Eminem Album's

One more revert and we go to arbitration for revert warring. I'd like to avoid that, but you seem to be missing the point of my deletion , so let me try to make it clear here. Whether or not they belong according to article length is entirely beside the point - the statements have no citations or sources. They are therefore violations of Wikipedia:No_original_research. If you have any further questions about what's necessary by all means contact me. Daemon8666 06:50, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Citing_sources may help as wellDaemon8666 06:55, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Mediation_Cabal/Cases/2007-02-05_Eminem_Album_Articles - per existing wikipedia policy I will attempt this before requesting arbitration.Daemon8666 19:32, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

It is not that I have a problem with the article length right now. That's something to address later. Regardless of what you call the section, or whether or not it's been around for a while, it is NOT ENCYCLOPEDIC. Without citations. I could make Britney Spears the longest lasting Queen of Egypt if I felt like it. Citations seperate original research and unverified claims from true information. Until it is verified it does not belong in any section regardless of it's title. You want it in there so bad, that's fine - give me a Source interview with Eminem, or a transcript from G-Unit's radio show. Until the info is backed up, it is pure speculation and I will continue to remove it bases on Wikipedia: No Original ResearchDaemon8666 02:08, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

I understand we have the cittations tag, but that is for info that needs to be sourced. This information is IMPOSSIBLE to source - you're never going to find Eminem sitting down explaining all his songs. The moment he or Dre does, the information casn go back in. Until it does, PLEASE leave it alone.Daemon8666 23:18, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

I have tried to explain to you this five times.

• It is a violation of Wikipedia: No Original Research. Regardless of ANY OTHER FACTOR, this warrants its deletion. You want it sourced, put it on the talk page until it is. It does not belong in the article, because as I've said before, citations are what keeps people from making unwarranted claims. Whether you like it or not, or believe in it or not, your having an account and editing on wikipedia implies that you agree to follow wikipedia's overriding consensus in matters pertaining to article content and formation. It is the basic foundation of wikipedia that for consistency and accuracy's sake that these protocols be followed. No one is qualified to say what Eminem meant when he wronte those songs, PERIOD, besides the author himself, or an accredited expert; say someone who interviwed him directly or maybe he explains it in his biography. I agree that ANY sourced information should be pulled out in a specific section, such as a Trivia section, but no unsourced information can remain for the article to maintain the wikipedia standard.
• Even if it were sourced, it makes the article long and unwieldly. This may be overcome by rewriting the secion, but UNTIL THE ISSUE OF CITATIONS IS ADDRESSED IT DOESN"T MATTER. Send it to arbitration or whatever you want, but ACTUALLY READ THE SECTION AT Wikipedia: No Original Research FIRST.
• You mentioned using the "need citations tag". While I agree that wikipedia has many articles that fit this tag, THIS IS NOT ONE OF THOSE CASES. The Wolfdog article does, for example, since most of the information was either at one time sourced but is no longer (such as now-dead links), or was badly sourced initially and now needs to be re-verified. A large tract of information comprised entirely of statements of incredibly dubious accuracy is NOT such a situation.

There's really nothing else I can do here.Daemon8666 07:40, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

Your talk page

Also, I don't think anyone's going to object if you delete Big-piggy's comment. That's the kind of garbage that we editors are here to prevent. Regardless of the dispute, nothing excuses actions like that, and you shouldn't have to put up with nonsensical profanity here.Daemon8666 19:53, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks.

Love. Angel. Music. Baby.

I made some of the changes you requested at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Love. Angel. Music. Baby., but I have a few questions about the others. Would you mind taking a look at the userfied version and my responses on the nomination page and commenting? ShadowHalo 04:26, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

XXL (magazine)

I noticed that you've edited on the XXL page recently. well, I've just tagged it as unreferenced and as containing original research. If you value the content of the page, please refer to it to provide references to it, otherwise I intend to reduce it to fully verifiable facts, which would bring the article to a stub.

Notability of theories

The "Seven Day Theory" page has obviously been deleted, so there's an element of flogging a dead horse about this, but bear in mind that an article on a theory only needs to demonstrate the notability of that theory, rather than actually arguing that it's true. Speaking for myself, I think every conspiracy theory is absolute nonsense, but there are an awful lot of people around the world who are prepared to claim that the Illuminati exist or that Osama bin Laden didn't have a role in planning 9/11. The theories themselves are what's notable, even if the people subscribing to them might need some time in a quiet room with a straitjacket. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 12:53, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of The Amazing Bone

The article The Amazing Bone has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Unreferenced, and apparently abandoned. No assertion of notability. Unable to find any reliable secondary sources of information

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 {{proposed deletion/dated}} 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 {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Main page appearance: The Notorious B.I.G.

This is a note to let the main editors of The Notorious B.I.G. know that the article will be appearing as today's featured article on December 28, 2012. You can view the TFA blurb at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/December 28, 2012. If you prefer that the article appear as TFA on a different date, or not at all, please ask featured article director Raul654 (talk · contribs) or his delegates Dabomb87 (talk · contribs), Gimmetoo (talk · contribs), and Bencherlite (talk · contribs), or start a discussion at Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/requests. If the previous blurb needs tweaking, you can change it—following the instructions at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests/instructions. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. The blurb as it stands now is below:

Christopher Wallace (1972–1997), best known as The Notorious B.I.G., was an American rapper/hip-hop artist. Wallace was raised in the Brooklyn borough of New York City and began rapping when he was a teenager. The release of Wallace's debut album Ready to Die in 1994 made him a central figure in the East Coast hip-hop scene and increased New York's visibility in the genre at a time when West Coast artists were more common in the mainstream. While recording his second album, Wallace was heavily involved in the East Coast/West Coast hip-hop feud dominating the scene at the time. On March 9, 1997, Wallace was killed by an unknown assailant in a drive-by shooting in Los Angeles. His double-disc set Life After Death, released 16 days later, hit No. 1 on the U.S. album charts and was certified Diamond in 2000 (one of the few hip hop albums to receive this certification). Wallace was noted for his "loose, easy flow", dark semi-autobiographical lyrics and storytelling abilities. Two more albums have been released since his death. In 2012, The Source ranked him No. 3 on their list of the Top 50 Lyricists of All Time. He has certified sales of 17 million units in the United States. (Full article...)
