Bloods are not part of People Nation.

Bloods is it's own nation out of Los Angeles with it's own Gangs under the Bloods Alliance of Gangs. People Nation and Bloods have nothing to do with each other only in places like New York City where the Bloods are unofficial Bloods with no ties to Los Angeles and they use the 5 point star and People Nation symbols. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Oyesabrosura (talk • contribs) 21:36, 5 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

WHAT YOU SEE IS NOT WHAT YOU GET

If you didn't know this 99% of information on the internet about The VLN is wrong. The only way to truly know what it is like is to join. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.153.118.144 (talk) 19:11, 31 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This is not a forum for discussing the merits or downsides of ganglife. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.254.16.201 (talk) 02:48, 7 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You don't have to join a gang to know their history and activities. I wasn't even alive in WW2, but I still have a pretty good handle on what the Nazi's did. Niteshift36 (talk) 06:21, 7 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Revisions

Removed the word "Nation" after People, as the People alliance was not a Nation; the seperate gangs were considered Nations. Everone involved, or who were involved, understands this. When I get time, I will clean up some more, and add more references, especially pertaining to Fort and the foundation of both People and Folks in Stateville Penetentiary in the late '70's. And no, the Crips and Bloods were not part of the Alliances.... this is a Chicago area phenomenom only.Nathraq (talk) 19:04, 1 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Side reppin'

It says in this article the Bloods are associated with the People Nation, and the Folk Nation article says some Crip cliques associate with them. The articles also state that the the People Nation is associated with the left side of the body and the Folk Nation is associated with the right. This is an inconsistency, as the Bloods wear red bandanas which hang out of the right pocket and wear red bandanas draped over the right shoulder, and the Crips wear blue bandannas from the left pocket and over the left shoulder. As an example, Snoop Dogg, a Rollin' 20's Crip, states in his song Drop It Like It's Hot: "I keep a blue flag hangin' out my backside, but only on the left side. Yeah, that's the Crip side."

In-side terminology and POV?

The article seems to use terminology that's somewhat unexplained, specially reading the comments above. "Nation" seems to be used in a way I'm unfamiliar with, and it's unclear if "People Nation" means that the alliance is called "People" and that this is a "Nation", or if it means something else. The opening description also seems rather vague with regards to the origins ("This started much the same way as ..." without citing what exactly that means). Lastly, the entire section "Facts" should not be named thus. If it's not a fact, it shouldn't really be on Wikipedia, and while most of the information seems credible, most of it is about hand signs and identifications. Hopefully, someone with better knowledge of the subject can help clean this up, as I have very little clue about the subject... KristianLyngstol (talk) 02:33, 6 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

El Rukins came later

I'm 99% sure the Stones where Black P Stones long before they lost their damn minds and decided they where all (heroine selling, booze gulping) muslims. Wheren't they still the Black Part Rangers when People formed? Wasn't El Rukins some kind of tax dodge from the late 70s? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.159.89.194 (talk) 18:45, 23 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Edit warring

The standard for including information in this article is verifiability, one of Wikipedia's pillars. What you know or think you know about gangs is irrelevant. Wikipedia articles are based on independent reliable sources.

If you think another gang is an ally or rival, do not add them unless you can cite an independent reliable source for the information. Unsourced changes will be reverted.

If you think a gang listed no longer exists but a reliable source lists them as an ally or rival, do not remove them. You will need to cite independent reliable sources for the change. Wikipedia articles are not meant to be a "current" snapshot of subjects. Obviously things change over time. Unsourced changes will be reverted.

If you thing dates, names, locations or anything else in the article is simply incorrect or out of date, you will need to explain changes. Unsourced/unexplained changes will be reverted. Merely asserting that you are right is meaningless. If the information is not sourced, you can use that as a reason to remove it. You cannot add unsourced info in its place. If information cites a reliable source, you will need to discuss the issue. - SummerPhD^v2.0 22:47, 16 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
