Jay z filmography should also have Time A Khalif Bowder Story — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:600:C780:7A70:46A:8006:1985:CBB7 (talk) 11:09, 10 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, just wondering why you removed the link to the article about grime comedy? Big Shaq has his roots in grime and i think this is an informative overview of the genre. Bryanlikealioninzion (talk) 13:27, 13 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Big Shaq is a parody of drill music and roadman culture, not grime. His other character, MC Quakes, is a parody of grime. Aside from that though, I don't see any other sources using 'Grime Comedy' as a name. It seems like a neologism (see WP:NEO). Madbrad200 (talk)

Yes agree although i think it's an area that needs more light as is often mis-understood by the mainstream. The article in question mentions Biq Shaq in relation to drill however it's fair to say drill is most likely an offshoot of grime and some of the artists cross over. I appreciate your perspective on the whole thing though as can see you have put alot of work into wikipedia. Bryanlikealioninzion (talk) 13:50, 16 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You made crazy good contributions to Afrobeats. Thanks for that. I see in the article stats that this research is largely from you. Thanks for what you have done. Blue Rasberry (talk) 14:42, 6 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Brad. The term "Tropical pop" does not have a wikilink to redirect. However "Tropical pop" is listed as "Fusion genres" in "Dancehall" article's infobox, as well as "subgenres" in reggae fusion infobox. I don't know which is which. Appreciate your time. 2402:1980:8252:F8DA:610A:B192:8562:94E4 (talk) 18:16, 19 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

it probably shouldn't be in either. It's not mentioned as a subgenre or fusion genre anywhere as far as I can see. The Guardian source used only mentions it in passing, and I can't find many other sources mentioning it elsewhere. Probably safe to remove but it may be worth mentioning on the talk pages of those two articles as well.Madbrad200 (talk) 18:31, 19 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Madbrad200, Hope all is well on your end? What software do you use to rescue sources? In the edit history, your rescue sources edits are tagged with "IABotManagementConsole [1.1]". I'd like to know how to go about rescuing sources. I'd appreciate a reply, thanks.  Versace1608  ^{Wanna Talk?} 00:33, 13 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! I was wondering about that too, did some digging around and stumbled upon this page here. It's pretty simple, just make sure 'Add archives to all non-dead references' is ticked on. Pretty great tool. Hope that helps! Madbrad200 (talk) 00:48, 13 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much. It is definitely a great too. I no longer have to archive urls manually on wayback machine.  Versace1608  ^{Wanna Talk?}

Hi,

Thanks for the advice. I am trying to create a wikipedia page for a friend of mine. I don't understand the issue with the page.

If you could please advise it would be greatly appreciated as this is my first time on here! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cooks36 (talk • contribs) 16:37, 20 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! Welcome to wikipedia :) I know this can be a frustrating experience but unfortunately as it stands, I don't believe an article on him is possible. A brief google I did didn't seem to indicate he is notable. In other words, there is not extensive reliable sources (such as news articles) that document who he is. Further, there appears to be conflict of interest issues. It's generally discouraged to be writing an article about something you are personally connected to (such as something about your friend). The tone of the article also lacks neutrality. 'Articles for Creation' can be used to write draft articles which are then reviewed by editors who'll offer ideas for improvements (which will not be quick, can take months) before they are published. However, they would likely point out the issues I've mentioned here. Even if the conflict of interest and neutrality issues are solved, it still lacks notability. Madbrad200 (talk) 17:26, 20 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'll also add that the text that you added to the article is a copyright violation. You cannot copy material from the Internet unless it is freely licensed. Beyond the issue of copyright, the text also failed to adhere to a neutral point of view. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and articles are expected to be written with an encyclopedic tone. -- Whpq (talk) 17:47, 20 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi mate, just in response to your last message regarding the British and English nationality issue, I apologise and will stop. I didn't see my previous 'warning' that you said I received so I apologise. Just wondering though, why is it a Scottish person's biography and description can say "Scottish" and not "British" but an English person's biography has to say "British" and can't say English? I know some pages do say English but most say British and I was just wondering why it's one rule for one and another for another. For example, the Jammer page that I edited says "British MC" but for example Lewis Capaldi's says "Scottish singer". Just wondering that's all. Plus technically, saying he's "English" isn't incorrect.

No worries! You aren't wrong, there are exceptions such as Tom Walker, but you are right that there is inconsistency. Generally speaking, in order to avoid the point you just raised and the inevitable arguments it causes, trying to make uniformity about regional identity is discouraged. There is a guideline for this called WP:UKNATIONALS - it suggests that we go for whichever is the most popular way to refer to an artist in publications, or their personal preference. Without actual reasoning about changing it (presented with sources), it's best to just leave it as whatever it was to start with, which is generally "British" for English people as you pointed out. English persons tend to not clarify what their personal preference is. If we take Jammer, there are more results for "British" than there are for "English". For Lewis Capaldi, there's substantially more results for "Scottish". Madbrad200 (talk) 16:53, 21 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Brad. Can you change "dancehall-pop" to "dancehall pop" in Sorry (Justin Bieber song)? Plus "Dancehall-pop" has been redirected to reggae fusion in several years, can you change redirect to dancehall pop (without hyphen). Thank you. 115.164.91.229 (talk) 15:26, 22 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You must be from England born and raised that’s why you want Stylo G to be “British” so bad, innit? Voice4People (talk) 11:29, 20 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Stylo was born and GREW UP in JAMAICA. His parents are FULL JAMAICAN... That makes him FULLY, 100% JAMAICAN. No matter where he migrates to, his nationality will always remain as Jamaican. While it may be very true that he introduced “Grime”, that’s just from him RESIDING in the U.K... A lot of INCORRECT Sources refer to him as “British” because that is what they do when they see someone has been in a certain country for quite some time... If you watch Stylo G interviews yourself as well, you will clearly see- he states himself as JAMAICAN who was raised and grew up in JAMAICA! You keep removing all of the Jamaican history from his bio as if that’s not literally WHO HE IS.... Forcing the British nationality on him just for YOUR liking is not needed.. We all know he LIVES and MADE HIS NAME in the UK! Voice4People (talk) 11:41, 20 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This is actually very true. A lot of sources false claim Artists nationality based on the country in which they RESIDE. If he was born and raised, as well as have both family members being from Jamaica, then he is very well in fact 100% Jamaican.... He did not grow up in England nor is any of his parents from England, so he would not be British... I am currently 28, from Jamaica and been living in America since I was 11 years old— I am not American.... ALSO, for his MUSIC— although he does rap on Grime riddims, more than 95% of his songs are still in Jamaican Patois and he naturally still speaks in his native Jamaican accent in all of his interviews— so to claim him as British JUST for living in England would be bizarre. If I move to England now, stay there for 10+ years and decide I want to be an Artist and I blow up in England, that would NOT make me British... Wiki1Voice2 (talk) 14:17, 20 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
