Assist me with Project, please!

I am seeking the most greatest feat all DJs have never attempted before! The ULTIMATE TIMBALAND RE-MIX. I hope this article can assist me with finding all of the songs I need to complete my quest. This is why I would like to see all the songs Timbaland has ever produced! Please help me! --Sakamura

timbaland african?

Isn't timbaland half indian, that's why he has a lot of India-style bhangra influenced beats, i think he said in one of his songs, "I'm black with Indian..."

Magoo said that, not Timbaland...and he meant Native American. --FuriousFreddy 02:45, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

Timbaland is a legend!!!! <3

Kaiser Sensei?

Does anyone know what Timbaland is referring to when he calls himself Kaiser Sensei in the intro to "Pony"?

answer: "kaiser sosoe" is popular figure popularized by the mid-90's movie "the usual suspects" used as an alias for timbalands behind the scenes production. [cisco at cysk001@mac.com/] send me a message to start and join the timbaland group!!

picture caption

The caption for the picture with Timbaland and Magoo doesn't specify which one is Timbaland. The caption should be changed to begin with something like "Timbaland (right) & Magoo on the cover..." kaiser sosoe is a codename based on a popular character timbaland uses as a production alias.(cisco at cysk001@mac.com/

Timbaland's Style

The interesting thing about Timbaland is his style of music and rythm. You can always recognize a Timbaland heavy beat in any song. Not too diverse but still very catchy and unique....

Timbal ?

Timbal is ancient african instrument. The brazilian group Timbalada uses heavily it.

how many songs??

how many songs has timbaland produced? should this be referenced?

I believe so. There's quite a bit of Songs missing from the list: Wonder'bout and Let Me give you my love are a few. --Sakamura

Dear editor

Good morning, I suggest this, for the article. The information need to be commplied with an Celebrity Infobox, and another things. Wherever, needs to be reorganized for be a complete wiki-article. Thank you.

Good Bye

New Compilation Album?

I've heard that a movie about Missy Elliott's life is being made. I wonder if this new compilation album Timbaland is working on could be the soundtrack for the movie? something similar to Tim's Bio: From the Motion Picture: Life From Da Bassment?

Justin Timberlake said that he is writting hooks for Timbaland's upcoming album in a recent interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live.

Can we get a photo?

Huge article, but no photo?

Controversy

An IP user posted this which is wrong in so many ways as Digg is not a news site like that, at all. However, this is the forum the digg post pointed to which is also VERY wrong, forums are bad, very bad, for this. Now I don't know this Timbaland dude because I hate rap/hip-hop, (I am more of a Megadeath and Metallica fan). But posting possibly inaccurate information is wrong for Wikipedia. If there is someone who cares about Timbaland they can fine a real source to back this controversy up, until then do not post possible false information.--WhereAmI 00:30, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

There are plenty of articles that link to news website for validation of facts on wikipedia. Furthermore These are plain facts listed in here. Listen to the audio clips. This is not "made up" information. Your point of view is wrong this time.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.253.98.227 (talk • contribs)

No, Digg is not a source in this type. The actual Digg article does not have these audio clips. Watch me change this to the FORUM that has the information. Learn to use Digg and howto cite things.--WhereAmI 04:14, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

It looks like User talk:Discospinster is smart here. Forums and Digg are not sources in this matter. IP addresses, please stop changing and using the Digg article as sources. If you find MTV, I and I amd sure Disco will be very happy with that source.--WhereAmI 04:18, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

Even if news items or websites are not sufficient reference or source, shouldn't the mp3s be sufficient sources/references on their own. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.238.74.76 (talk) 16:07, 13 January 2007 (UTC).

I already gathered a bunch of links at Loose (album) already (in between them a youtube video with direct comparison of the tracks), and I disagree that forums aren't referential in this case: In the case of Dane Cook's stolen joke controversy, a forum post was enough by Louis CK to state that yes the jokes are ripped but no he wishes not to pursue legal action? Considering that we'll hardly hear a response from the producer itself but the "defendant" in this case cannot hold a press conference because he's just a hobby musician, forum posts including direct comparisons and samples should be a verifiable source, as they contain material to allow verification of the claims. // Gargaj 14:24, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

Also; I think it should be worth mentioning that the original song i question can be downloaded from Scene.org, the most reputable demoscene archive in existence, properly timestamped in the year 2000. (post by Gloom, not a WikiPedia-user :) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 84.48.116.158 (talk) 14:53, 13 January 2007 (UTC).

I have heard the mp3s and I understand whats going on, but FIRST OF ALL DIGG LINKS TO SOMETHING AWFUL, DIGG IS NOT A SOURCE, SOMETHING AWFUL IS THE SOURCE GET IT THROUGH YOUR HEADS. You may say popularized by Digg.com and link to Digg.coms main page, or the wiki article of Digg. Now, the Something Awful thing it says this: "Timbaland ripped off a track from my buddy." Here's the deal: Neither Timbaland NOR the original artist have commented on this in any form that you users have supplied to Wikipedia. Alrgiht? Following me? There are NO reputable sources yet. IP users: When you find one, send it to me User_talk:WhereAmI and I will incorporate it if I find it reliable. Here is the Youtube link that shows comparison. Listen everyone, I need a news article not from DIGG as DIGG IS NOT A COMMON NEWS SITE IN THE TRADITIONAL SENSE. Search Google News and find something, but SA, Digg, and Youtube vids are not sources. Why do you think this page is locked? Because NONE ARE RELIABLE SOURCES.--WhereAmI 23:41, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

I would like to point out, I do not care if the reliable source relies on the links you have provided. So what can you do? E-mail someone that can take care of this such as MTV (who won't do anything), VH1, Fuse, LastFM, MANY more, but Wikipedia does not make news, it is an online encyclopedia.--WhereAmI 23:46, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

I agree, we should mention this if and only if some news outlet runs a story on it that we can cite. --Delirium 04:05, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Though this controversy has yet to fully form, wouldn't it be encyclopedic, at least for now, to cite primary sources and replace them with secondary sources as those come into being? I agree wikipedia is not a platform for gonzo journalism, but considering the soundness of the source material comparison, would this really be anything more than the same kind of research involved in the compilation of offline encyclopedias? -- DaoKaioshin 04:58, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Addendum: Here is a secondary source [[1]] as retrieved here [[2]] -- DaoKaioshin 05:03, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

That's just a journalist's blog. Please see Wikipedia:Reliable sources. —Dgies^t c 05:07, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Whether or not this is true, we must still follow Wikipedia's policies on biographies of living persons, verifiability and no original research. If you want to include as a primary source the guy making the allegation, then it must be verifiable that he made the allegation. That means you need his real name and the allegation must be published in some form, whether that is a news outlet, press release picked up by a wire service, or a legal filing. Failing that, we need a verifiable secondary source, such as a real news article, not some blog or Digg link. —Dgies^t c 05:06, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Yes artists only deserve credit for there work if someone cares about it. Rucklupfet 04:42, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

And I only care about relating it into Wikipedia if the original artist has a statement. Why hasn't that came to life yet? Anyway, I was considering this source that DaoKaioshin posted. It says the origional artist made a statement on this. Please find this source, then incorporate it. I see a very reliable source in the near future popping up, email them and get their attention.--WhereAmI 06:23, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

the wiki needs to be updated to reflect this, neutrally though.Preeeemo 06:41, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Once we have a reliable, verifiable source, certainly. Until then, WP:BLP says don't publish defamatory rumors about people.

This is as reliable and verifiable as it gets:
