Bow wow is a well know actor why isnt there a section with this

...actor (period)jBold tMedia:ex

t' ...Why (capital) ...isn't (apostrophe)^{Superscript text} ...this? (question mark)

• File:(mountains)

It's hard to believe that an article about the "well known actor", Bow Wow, would be as badly written as this one. Or should say, "dis one"?

"On December 6, 2007, Bow Wow was rushed to hospital after a concert in Cincinnati, Ohio. Moss was rushed to the hospital due to lack of rest.They also said that it might be caused by his stomach pains." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.124.112.210 (talk) 15:57, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Gossip column speculation

What is the source for all of these:

• Bow Wow is considering dropping his "Bow Wow" monicker in order to be known by his real name, Shad Moss.

• R&B singer Ciara Harris has been rumored to be engaged to wed Bow Wow. Both have publicly denied any such engagement despite Harris donning what appeared to be a large engagement ring while accompanying Moss to the 2005 MTV Video Music Awards. (this was credited to a blurb at IMDB)

• A sitcom series called "Bow" starring the rapper Bow Wow may be forthcoming. The network and production details remain unknown.

Half of the guy's biography sounds like it came out of some gossip column. Jkelly 22:04, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

Bow Wow and Ciara are dating aren't they? Why isn't it listed on either of their pages?—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.251.103.180 (talk • contribs) .

Tone tag added

I just added the Template:Tone to the article. The "Trivia" section is attracting, well, trivia, as such sections tend do, and speculation about who the subject's "close friends" is now also taking up multiple lines in a very short article. The article needs cleanup. Jkelly 00:32, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

YOU R INCORRECT THEY ARE NOT ENGAGED AND NEVER WILL BE!

Christian

Bow wow is in the category born-again_christians. There is nothing in the article about this, it needs atleast a citing. Anoncompboy 02:27, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Yes, you're absolutely right. Jkelly 02:26, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Protection

You protected because of one vandalistic edit? Can I unprotect now? Mad Jack 06:02, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

The article was protected because of four (iirc) edits which were obviously commercial spam that had no place here. I mean, the ads were for ahem medication and for porn sites that would be illegal in most countries. I admit that these really ticked me off. However, please feel free to unprotect. The page is only semi-protected. If you do unprotect it, please watch it for the day (I'm not talking about a minute-by-minute watch, of course) to make sure this spammer has given up. --Yamla 15:02, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, I'll unprotect. I'm already watching this article, anyway, so... Mad Jack 16:33, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

Name

I think this article, like every other, should identify the subject in the very first line with the same name that is used to call the article - i.e. Bow Wow, which is what he is widely known as. His birth name/legal name should go after. Mad Jack 04:27, 23 June 2006 (UTC) 82.37.7.94 15:03, 11 January 2007 (UTC)Yes i agree, this article definitely needs a name, he is not 'Bow Wow'- this is meant to be an encylcopedia not a pulp biography!

Record Label?

Is it true that Bow Wow has his own record label. A source of info was mentioned on the Miss Nana page that he had one and she was signed to this particular label, but I can't find any sources leading up to that. Is it true or not? Fanficgurl 4:02 June 26 2006 (UTC)

Doesn't look like it. This is all Google turns up for the supposed name of this record label[1] Mad Jack 20:04, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

Citations

Moved a few things here that had an uncited tag on them and still haven't been cited:

• "Bow Wow is a good friend of basketball star Allen Iverson and singer Omarion Bow Wow and Omarion are always together."
• "Wow became the second celebrity to appear on the reality prank show, Punk'd, more than two times. During his first appearance, he was tricked by Ashton Kutcher for losing some borrowed jewelry. The second time involved singer Omarion."

Mad Jack 06:54, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

Fixed some malformed links in the Single list table

I do not know enough about the subject to know if they are correct or not but at least they are correctly formatted now. Someone who knows more about the topic can check the content. meshach 02:50, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

On Death Row Records

Lil Bow Wow was listed by Death Row Records on their official roster. Proof can be seen as they put up a poster ad for the now defunct Club 662 containing the 1995 roster which includes "Lil Bow Wow". You can see the poster by Clicking Here. Udstyle

An 8 year old at DeathRow? Do you think that maybe someone else might have come up with a name like Lil'Bow Wow before him? Of course! The name is just as dumb as BIG Moo or Slicky Miaow. Clearly this is not the same Bowwow.

Don't be stupid, of course it's the same Lil' Bow Wow. I guess it was just a coincidence that he was given the name by Snoop when he was signed to Death Row, and hired as an opening act at Death Row Records shows. Clearly IT IS the same Bow Wow. Udstyle

Place of Birth

Currently this article states he was born in Columbus, Ohio, and Reynoldsburg. Which is correct ?

Derek R Bullamore 20:14, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

COLUMBIA IS CORRECT!

It also says China! How many places can one person be born in?--70.212.28.73 00:40, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

China is not there and a person can be from different places (meanin dey grew up thear) but he was born in Columbia. u guys should add dat he is livin in Atlanta,Georgia. Pretty Ricky aint breakin up yall! yay!! Tam` Tam` =] 03:16, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

Reynoldsburg is a suburb of Columbus where Bow Wow lived with his mom and attended school with friend of mine before his rap career took off. If he was born here, he would have been born in Columbus, technically, because there is no hospital in Reynoldsburg. But he is def from Reynoldsburg. I have no idea what you are talking about Columbia for.... unless he was not born in Ohio (there is NO Columbia, Ohio) 75.143.185.233 15:21, 30 August 2007 (UTC). Bow Wow is the man and he is freaking fine niggars.

Small error

{{editprotected}} Forgive me if i am misusing the editprotected template, but i see no reason why this article should be protected. Anyway, in the film section, there is an error: ... "Fallout right along with long time friend Lil Nj". The quotations are in the wrong place, I think it should be changed to "Fallout" along with long time friend Lil Nj.P337 01:24, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

ok, someone tl'd the editprotected..... but did not edit the article or post any sort of response... thanks :-/. just increasing the edit count i guess. 130.127.93.245 14:07, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

I un tl'd it because i want to see this stupid error get fixed P337 06:20, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Hustlin'

Why is Bow Wow hustlin' in Three Fast, Three Furious (i.e. The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ovenith (talk • contribs) 00:25, 7 May 2007 (UTC).

Um...he's playing a character?

errors

BOW WOW'S HEIGHT

He is not 5'8. He is 5'5. Ciara is 5'9

so many typographical errors! I've fixed some of them. Overmage 09:36, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

He does not date Melody Thornton it was just a rumor she addressed it in a interview and said she does not date him so correct that.

Currency of this sentence

The tags, worn as necklaces or bracelets, go on sale at ALDO stores March 1st and benefit the YouthAIDS initiative

Have these bracelets and such already been on sale, or do they go on sale in 2008? My work won't allow me to look the answer up, so if someone could let me know, I'd be glad to change the sentence to reflect that they're already on sale.

"Bow wow #1 fan is Stephanie Fisher, Stephanie Fisher love Bow wow. Bow wow is sexy." because it does not have any place in an encyclopedia. Start a fan site if you want to know how much you love him.No actually his no.1 LADY iz Cearea Starletta Richards U aint heard hav u and i have mt his family

"Origin"?

Is "origin" in "backround information" supposed to refer to where he actually comes from (Ohio), or the base of operations of his rap career? The issue is that Bow Wow is NOT really an Atl rapper the same way a native (like T.I.) is and I don't think he can really rep Atl... He lives in Miami, now, too, further distancing him from his so-called origin in Atl. When it comes down to it, he's an Ohio boy, born and bred, whether he wants to rep OH or not...

Cousin's

Bow Wow has a cousin name Jamal Mccoy. They're like brothers though. Even though Bow Wow is on the road him and Jamal hang out alot. They also have nicknames Jamal(Gangster J) and Bow Wow (Big Gangster). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.154.199.31 (talk) 01:10, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Hi Wikipedia my name is Kristyn Renfro and I am a big fan of Bow Wow and I wanted to let you know that his first name is Shad not Shat. You can go to several search engines to check sources, but I am pretty sure it was just a type-o. Thank you P.S.
