Ugly. Can a linguist tidy this article up? - RadRafe |

Says "In the very early rock inscriptions of Thera (700006 BC)". That really sounds very early indeed to me. -- Roland Mas (not registered on Wikipedia). |

==Roman lowercase==yes the letter b means !!'''Bold text''' |
|||
The link to "Roman" should be disambiguated, but since it could be a post-Imperial reference, I can't justify using [[Ancient Rome]] without more detail. Does anyone have a more precise time for when the earliest examples of the precursor of lower case b first appeared? |
|||
== "B" by StrawberryClock == |
|||
It's a red letter B against a white background. Nothing else. Even the B is just typed. |
|||
I'd vote for just removing it from the list. What do you all think? --[[User:Billpg|Billpg]] 21:42, 30 September 2005 (UTC) |
|||
:Well, I'm neither against nor in favor of removing it, all I care about is (if it is decided to be kept) that has some sort of link to anything (or at least an explanation). Few people know about Newgrounds / the clock crew, so some sort of explanation is necessary (either that or simply remove it).--[[User:Vertigo200|Vertigo200]] 17:50, 1 October 2005 (UTC) |

:B is your god! it was created by Strawberryclock, who created the clock crew, who contains such flash artists as Strangeclock and Renegadeclock, two of the best flash artists ever to hit Newgrounds, so if you don't like b, you better leave newgrounds, Strawberryclock is the king of the portal -- anonymous 23:35, 31 October 2005 |

::Sorry, but even though B may be important to Strawberryclock and Newgrounds, it is most definitely not a an encyclopedia worthy entry.--[[User:Vertigo200|Vertigo200]] 01:35, 1 November 2005 (UTC) |
|||
::Are we talking about the same "B"? Red letter B on a white background? Its remarkably unremarkable. Besides, this is Wikipedia, not Newgrounds. I can't leave Newgrounds as I'm not in it. --[[User:Billpg|Billpg]] 01:47, 1 November 2005 (UTC) |
|||
:B is an important and influential peice of situationist art. It's certainly worthy of mention. We may not be on Newgrounds, but the group it sparked is sizeable either way. If this is supposed to be a bank of knowledge, it should have its place. - AlbinoClock 11:38 1 February 2006 |

::Consensus seems to be against my position, so I've left it in. --[[User:Billpg|Billpg]] 19:51, 2 June 2006 (UTC) |
|||
:: It is outside of the scope of this article. If we were to list all artwork pertaining to the letter B, the article would never end. Even then, this picture has hardly any artistic or cultural value, regardless of what 'crew' it started on Newgrounds. With all due respect to AlbinoClock (whose name suggest affiliation with the related 'clock' crew and therefore whose impartiality I doubt) this group he calls "sizeable" is but minute part of the Internet, which itself is only one small part of human culture/knowledge. I strongly vote to remove it. --[[User:Salimatou|Salimatou]] 22:32, 12 June 2006 (UTC) |
|||
:: Please, show a few pieces of artwork that are at all iconic and relate to the letter B. I think that this is a particularly interesting fact about the letter B - that someone submitted a poor quality flash containing simply a B and it's one of the most important flash movies on one of the most important flash movie sites on the internet. [[User:Earfetish1|Earfetish1]] 04:11, 25 February 2007 (UTC) |

=== Wording === |

*B was the title of a [[Macromedia Flash]] submission that has become widely-known around the world via the internet, created by a [[Newgrounds]] user with the screen name "StrawberryClock", who has the unofficial title of the ultimate "King of the Portal". [http://newgrounds.com/portal/view.php?id=28240] |
|||
I added this, since someone took it off again. --[[User:Nerd42|Nerd42]] ([[User talk:Nerd42|talk]]) 19:00, 9 June 2006 (UTC) |
|||
:I'm putting it back, because the shortened version doesn't say the same thing. A [[Macromedia Flash]] file that only has one frame is different from a picture, largely because you can decompile a Flash file to take graphics out of it. Many people have actually done this with "B" to put the joke in their own Flash submissions, sometimes as [[easter eggs]]. Without the explanation of where/why/who that I included in the above version, it just doesn't make sense. --[[User:Nerd42|Nerd42]] ([[User talk:Nerd42|talk]]) 15:27, 12 June 2006 (UTC) |
|||
::I've rephrased it again, this time keeping in the note that it was made using Flash. That it is a flash file does not stop it from being first and foremost, a picture. "Widely-known" is debatable. His title (self-declared?) of king of a portal is not (IMO) relevant to this page. --[[User:Billpg|Billpg]] 19:28, 12 June 2006 (UTC) |
|||
I see we agree that this mention should be here, yet I couldn't find it in the article anywhere. I looked in history but I failed to find it and would probobly spend ages looking for it if I tried anymore. Can someone put it back or re-write it?--[[User:TailsClock|TailsClock]] ([[User talk:TailsClock|talk]]) 18:33, 7 February 2008 (UTC) |

== Spanish B == |
|||
The b in Spanish depends on what dialect your speaking. |

For instance, in Cuba, B is almost like a V.[[User:Cameron Nedland|Cameron Nedland]] 23:13, 28 February 2006 (UTC) |
|||
==gangsta usage== |
|||
I've removed this: "Used in modern gangster situations the letter has become a way to refer to a person, (Such as "aiight B"). It is possible it derived from the shorthand version of 'gangsta' "G". " because it doesn't make a lot of sense. What are modern gangster situations? Being held up? What does "aiight" mean? Is any and every person called B or or are they assigned different letters? If the former, an edited version should perhaps go among meanings of B. --[[User:Hugh7|Hugh7]] 04:19, 15 May 2006 (UTC) |

aiight = alright |

b = brother |

*If you replace that link again, I'll take the issue up in arbitration. That content really is not useful or encyclopedic at all. [[User:Wickethewok|Wickethewok]] 02:15, 13 June 2006 (UTC) |
|||
B is the essential foundation of the Clock Crew, which is a major part of Newgrounds history. If Neurotically Yours and other equally bad cartoons get a place in Wikipedia, so does the Clock Crew, and also B. [[User:AirPumpClock|AirPumpClock]] 16:55, 24 May 2007 (UTC) |

==Fix Vandalism== |
|||
I use a computer I share with my brother, and just recieved a message that I vandalized this page. Can someone revert it? I just created an account to clear this up and don't know how to use a reverting bot, nor do I remember the article. <small>—The preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment was added by [[User:Trogdorisawesome|Trogdorisawesome]] ([[User talk:Trogdorisawesome|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Trogdorisawesome|contribs]]){{#if:{{{2|}}}| {{{2}}}|}}.</small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> |
|||
:At the time that you posted that question, there were no warnings on your talk page. (I have since issued two, so the vandalism is continuing.) Perhaps the warnings were sent to an IP discussion page before you registered your account? In any case, if it's you, please stop, and if it's not you, please take steps to see that it doesn't happen any more. It's possible to log on to the computer using a password that you don't share with your brother. Failing that, you should make a point of logging out from Wikipedia when you're finished at the computer, so that your brother can't make edits in your name. [[User:ElinorD|ElinorD]] 02:11, 5 February 2007 (UTC) |
|||
==Origin of B all the way back to Sumer== |
|||
The word /bita/ is Akkadian for house [From "A manual of Sumerian grammer and texts", Hayes, 2000 page 8] and so clearly the origin of the letter B go back to Akkadian if not all the way to Sumerian and just after the first writing. [[User:TedHuntington|TedHuntington]] 22:34, 16 April 2007 (UTC) |
|||
==Citation query== |
|||
Why the hell would there need to be a citation for "B being the second letter of the alphabet" and "in English is pronounced 'bee'"? Is there an exception for common sense? <small>—The preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment was added by [[Special:Contributions/{{{IP|{{{User|76.26.100.213}}}}}}|{{{IP|{{{User|76.26.100.213}}}}}}]] ([[User talk:{{{IP|{{{User|76.26.100.213}}}}}}|talk]]) {{{Time|09:49, August 21, 2007 (UTC)}}}</small><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> |

== B - spelled in english bee ???????? == |
|||
Is "bee" some official academic spelling of which i'm not aware, or does the poster mean it's pronounced "bee". We already have the IPA pronunciation. |
