Feud with ###person X###

Why is this not in his profile. It has happened and on ###person X###'s page, it talks about the feud. I think you should have Chris Brown's side on this issue. Also what about the rumors of ###person Y###. At the end of ###movie###, he holds her picture and is seen grinding on her, leading many fans to suspect him having a crush on her. This should also be in the article along with the ###### tattoo speculation. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 152.8.232.18 (talk) 23:27, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Speculation does not belong in biographies of living persons on wikipedia (or their talk pages, thus the edits to your question). Please review WP:BLP.

1. Alleged feud: If we have a verifiable, reliable source covering this, yeah, sure. If there is any question about the truth, no. This is a biography of a living person and more stringent requirements apply.
2. Rumors based on fan speculation based on what actors in a movie did: No, that's pointless. ACTORS in a movie are ACTING. If fans take this to mean there's a "crush", that's their problem. There is nothing of substance from a verifiable, reliable source here.

Semi-Pro

This page is semi-protected for 24 48 hours 1 week 1 fortnight because of IP shenanigans. Any further chicanery will be met with bv warnings and enforced vacations from Wikipedia. -Jéské ^{(Blah v^_^v)} 01:41, 5 February 2008 (UTC) 03:33, 7 February 2008 (UTC) 04:08, 13 February 2008 (UTC) 04:32, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Religion

Numerous edits have claimed that Brown is this, that or the other religion or that he has converted from one to another. None have been sourced. Any future edits making any claims about his religious beliefs will be reverted. WP:PROVEIT. - Mdsummermsw (talk) 14:50, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

Chris Brown's MySpace page

Shouldn't his official MySpace page here be in the external links? DiverseMentality (talk) 22:33, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

I suppose so. Carl.bunderson (talk) 05:08, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Given that it's his own, I heavily doubt anyone's going to object to you adding it. -Jéské ^{(v^_^v +2 Pen of Editing)} 08:47, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Math-A-Thon host

I just found out that Chris is this year's Math-A-Thon co-host. Should it be mentioned somewhere that he's doing charity work?Look here for the source![1]Abcw12 (talk) 00:13, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

"Personal" Myspace

Why does the link to the Chris Brown myspace read "Personal Myspace" when in fact it is a music myspace? Furthermore, the myspace in question is not personal at all as far as myspace profiles go. It invariably refers to Chris Brown in the third person and contains no personal details. It is entirely about Chris Brown as an artist and therefore the label "Personal Myspace" makes no sense in reference to such a thing. A large percentage of myspaces are about people and are very personal, so to refer to a myspace as "personal" is very misleading when in fact it is not personal at all. Any thoughts? 00:07, 18 March 2008 (UTC)Vyroglyph (talk)

Thought - You're nitpicking.  :) But, I'd say feel free to change it to the term "official," if you'd like. --InDeBiz1 (talk) 01:26, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

yea i kno its a small point but i was kind of disappointed when i clicked the linkVyroglyph (talk) 04:44, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

looks like someone already changed it and made it conform to the format of other myspace links so i'm gonna leave it aloneVyroglyph (talk) 04:46, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Specific campus where "Kiss Kiss" was shot

For the third time, I've specified what campus of FIU was used to shoot Chris Brown's Kiss Kiss video. It keeps getting changed back to "Florida International University" instead of the "Florida International University's University Park Campus" I've tried to specify. If anyone wants to dispute the campus it was shot at, please do it here before changing that information. Thanks. Digx (talk) 13:39, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

NEW SINGLE IS -NOT- "DOWN"

In this MTV article put online yesterday it says down will not be the next single. A song called 'Forever' will be the new single. http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1584056/20080325/brown__chris__18_.jhtml Someone change it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.107.188.100 (talk) 04:36, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

I rescind my comment; it's been changed. -Jéské ^{(v^_^v Detarder)} 05:00, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

I've corrected the page, and also created the article to Forever (Chris Brown song). Please add any all all contributions to help expand and improve it. DiverseMentality (talk) 05:04, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Actually, both Down and Forever are singles. Down is being serviced to Urban, Forever is being serviced to Pop and Rhythmic. --InDeBiz1 (talk) 21:15, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

Sony BMG MyPlay Artist Pages.

I work for SonyBMG and I'm in charge of Affiliate Services for MyPlay.com (SonyBMG's on-demand video music network). We'd like to post links to our artists' pages. Since the artists are SonyBMG artists and since I am a representative of SonyBMG, I do not think that there is actually a conflict of interest, but I have been sent an alert suggesting otherwise. Could someone please look into this and let me know, so that I may be able to gain a full understanding of the policy. I do not wish to create extra work for anyone. --EstSaka (talk) 17:56, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

By your own words, you're admitting to a conflict of interest, as defined by WP policy. Sorry. --InDeBiz1 (talk) 21:12, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

An argument could also be made that what you're proposing to add my violate WP policies against advertisement and/or spam. --InDeBiz1 (talk) 21:13, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

To clarify: the conflict of interest is here at wikipedia, not at SonyBMG. We ask that all editors approach edits from a neutral point of view. By editing articles related to your employer, there is the obvious risk that you would (or would appear to) make edits in a non-neutral manner. For example, you are proposing adding links to a website you are affiliated with. Is this based on a rational assessment of what links are most desirable for those articles based on wikipedia's guidelines? No, it is based on a line of thinking that is more along the lines of "This website I'm affiliated with might gain some additional traffic if it were linked from several wikipedia articles."

If you would like to edit wikipedia, I would suggest starting with something you are interested in but that does not connect to your line of work or financial interests. If you comb through my edits, you will see lots of articles related to Philadelphia, music, social policy, a few popular diets, folk culture, an investment article or two and a few local history topics. Any guess what field I work in? A lucky guess is your only chance of getting it right. - Mdsummermsw (talk) 16:51, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Dreamy

Since roughly 9/10 additions to the talk page and 1/10 to the article are vandalism of the "chris brown is madly in love wiht (insert name of 12 year old editor here) and is totally going to marrie her in teh most beutifil wedding ever" type, ANY unsourced additions to the article will be reverted on sight. As for the talk page, maybe we could add a section "12 year old girls who are putting 'Chris Brown' in hearts in their notebooks" and let them add their names? - Mdsummermsw (talk) 19:29, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Since it's clear that the threat of blocks for disruption aren't working, I'm about to issue a permanent semi-protection on this talk page. Enough is enough. Nobody here wants to know you're infatuated with Chris Brown. -Jéské ^{(v^_^v E pluribus unum)} 18:20, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

HAHAHAHAHAAA

Christmas In Washington

It says in the article that he appeared in this movie/show (not familiar with it myself) but it says his role is "TBA" this is obviously incorrect as it says it was released in 2006... Can someone fix it or remove it if they are familiar with this movie/show?! Nisior (talk) 14:42, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
