Just Saying...

There were no sources that stated that was the name of the album. The only citation was a Trap Muzik group, that's is far from a reliable source because those can be made by the members of the site. It's like a FaceBook group. Would you believe something a FaceBook group says? SE KinG. ^{User page.} _Talk. 21:45, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

Problem?

Chill out. I'm following Wikipedia's policies, if you have a problem with my edits feel free to attempt to report me for following policies. Besides copyrighting isn't just a Wikipedia rule so you need to chill. I told you very nicely to please don't copy and paste. There was nothing wrong with me saying that.

P.S. - I'm pretty sure I know that I don't own Wikipedia. If I did, I would be much more wealthy than I am. SE KinG. ^{User page.} _Talk. 21:56, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

I Don't Know..

After looking it, I can see what you mean. It seems like the main problem is guest appearances and just all around clean-up.

Also it's fine for flipping out. We all have days where we want people to leave you alone. I probably just made you mad on a bad day. SE KinG. ^{User page.} _Talk. 17:16, 25 March 2010 (UTC)

Re: T.I. videography

I wish I could, Peachez. :( But Maybe it is best that the videography info just be included with the discography, at least it's well organized.

Also, It's Great to have you Back. :) QuasyBoy 17:58, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

I know what you mean, as much as I love coming here, You can't agree with everybody. QuasyBoy 18:07, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

I've never lost my cool to that extent, LOL. But it's cool you learned from it. :) QuasyBoy 18:16, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

HaHa :) QuasyBoy 18:28, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

Don't Know, I guess want to get it to Good Article status, huh. QuasyBoy 18:34, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

I wouldn't what to do about that either. QuasyBoy 18:40, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

It would be way too complicated for me to do. Not really my forte. ;) QuasyBoy 18:46, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

T.I. Awards and nominations article assessment

Good work with the citations/references for the article. However, before the page is ready for featured list status there's still some things I noticed need to be worked on:

• If possible, an image should be added to article.
• All award wins/nominations should be accounted for within infobox.
• Some of the award tables (ex: American Music Awards) have empty slots, which needs to be fixed.

I'll probably try to get a more experienced user to do the review of your article once you make some of these changes because I'm still kind of new to the article assessing process myself. You should use Kanye West's awards article as a reference point on how the page should be structured. Just some thoughts. WikiGuy86 (talk) 20:57, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

Woah, that was fast! Do you want me to nominate it for featured list status because you can do it right here if you want. Let me know, and nice work! WikiGuy86 (talk) 17:07, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

Hey, sorry for taking so long to get back to you. I don't think you have to worry about the length of the lead section, that should be fine. One of those reviewers was giving us problems with using the About.com references before, so I'm not sure what will happen with those. Looks pretty good to me, though. WikiGuy86 (talk) 07:19, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

LOL. I'm telling you, when it comes to getting to featured status, they go nuts with all the requests! You ready to try and renominate? WikiGuy86 (talk) 18:48, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

T.I. article

I'm always around. Holla at me. :)

Do you mean an image for the T.I. page? QuasyBoy (talk) 3 May 2010 14:39 (UTC)

Just use the same one that's in the infobox in the main page. QuasyBoy (talk) 3 May 2010 15:57 (UTC)

I wish I could help, But I know nothing about uploading free images. :( QuasyBoy (talk) 3 May 2010 16:06 (UTC)

My Bad, I still I Love Ya, Babe. ;) QuasyBoy (talk) 3 May 2010 16:17 (UTC)

Eh, It's something better than nothing. QuasyBoy (talk) 3 May 2010 16:25 (UTC)

What I do???? QuasyBoy (talk) 3 May 2010 16:33 (UTC)

Sorry :( QuasyBoy (talk) 3 May 2010 16:38 (UTC)

Cool, Looks Good. :) QuasyBoy (talk) 3 May 2010 16:51 (UTC)

No Prob. QuasyBoy (talk) 3 May 2010 17:05 (UTC)

Update on featured nomination

Unfortunately, we weren't able to get promoted to featured status on the list. I never realized how hard it was to get the lists promoted, those reviewers are no joke! If you want to see the reasons some of them had for opposing the article, click here. I might try and do some work on it when I have the time. Either way, I thought you did a good job on it, so this is for you:

		The Hip Hop Award
		I, WikiGuy86 (talk), award the Hip Hop Award to Georgia Bird for all the hard work you put into the T.I. awards and nominations list. Good job!

Hey, thanks 4 the award. I didn't even have a speech prepared! We should collab on something else one day. WikiGuy86 (talk) 18:32, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

Book Creator

No idea what would cause that. You can ignore it or ask for help at WP:Help desk.—Kww(talk) 15:05, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

July 2010

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Ciara. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. If the edit warring continues, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Lil-unique1 (talk) 01:57, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

It takes two or more to edit war. You've both been warned. If you disagree with something and revert it but it gets changed again you should begin discussion over it not edit war. You're both in the wrong end of. Im trying to be fair by warning you both. But personally I'm not that fussed if you atttitude is "the other person started it, so you should be talking to them, not me." I've warned you both - that's my role as a fellow editor. if you wish to continue edit warring be my guest but then you will both have to accept the consequences and frankly it will end in either one or both of you being blocked/banned. --Lil-unique1 (talk) 02:08, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

Ciara

She likely is African-American and verifiably so but putting her in that category, if questioned by another editor would need a reliable citation. Also, one shouldn't edit war, please bring it up on the talk page instead. Gwen Gale (talk) 10:46, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

Category:African American

Technically, Mcelite is right; see WP:CAT#Categorizing pages:

It should be clear from verifiable information in the article why it was placed in each of its categories. Use the {{Category unsourced}} template if you find an article in a category that is not shown by sources to be appropriate, or the {{Category relevant?}} template if the article gives no clear indication for inclusion in a category.

While I agree that you shouldn't have to cite that the sky is blue, sometimes it's easier to find a source than argue with somebody about the obvious. — Malik Shabazz ^Talk/_Stalk 14:22, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

Yes, the {{Category unsourced}} template could stand in until a citation is found. Gwen Gale (talk) 15:11, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

Mcelite did this before many many times, e.g. on Queen Latifah. They backed off when I quoted a source where she explictly self-identifies as African-American. They are being disruptive as they are making no effort to check sources and by their own admission on my talk page they are using their own original research that someone "doesn't look entirely African-American" to justify removing the categories. They have their own agenda that these people are Native Americans; this kind of ethnicity-warring is no different to the WP:PLAGUE that is nationalist POV pushing. Fences&Windows 16:42, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

I apologize if it seemed that I was being mean or picky because of the category. Despite what an editor believes I don't have an agenda I'm being fair. If she had Chinese heritage and it was well known but we didn't have access to an interview or reliable source stating that heritage we could not use the category Chinese Americans. I've gotten heat for adding ethnicity that was well known but a reliable source was hard to find e.i. Aaliyah. It took forever but the proper sources were found. Once again I apologize and hope I didn't come off as being biased or spiteful. Have a good day.Mcelite (talk) 16:40, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

September 2010

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, we would like to remind you not to attack other editors, as you did on Aaliyah. Please comment on the contributions and not the contributors. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. You are welcome to rephrase your comment as a civil criticism of the article. Thank you. Tbhotch^{Talk C.} 01:31, 15 September 2010 (UTC)

Response

It is silly to say a person like Ciara or whoever is not Afro-American because they're not dark-skinned. I guess some folks think you have to have dark chocolate skin to be black or African. They're obviously stupid and ignorant and don't know anything. I could school them on stuff like that. B-Machine (talk) 17:15, 15 September 2010 (UTC)

Civility

I do not appreciate being told to "kick a brick", like you did in this edit summary. The burden of evidence rests on you when you add disputable information like you did here without a reliable source for verification. Your instruction to "go look" was quite rude—an assumption of bad faith—and again, the burden rested on you to provide such a reference and not to tell editors to look for such information themselves. I hope you do not continue to edit like this. Thank you. Yves (talk) 04:10, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

Please do not attack other editors, as you did here: User talk:Yvesnimmo. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. I genuinely hope you do not continue to edit and leave messages like that. The next time I see something like the message you left me, you may find yourself in a situation at WP:ANI. Thank you. Yves (talk) 06:48, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the apology. I don't understand, though: can you please show me the diff where I reverted your addition of a source? This was the edit I made, and all I did was replace the chart position with an em dash, as it was unsourced (not in reference 25). On Castle Walls, I reverted this edit, where the position was not in the source. Yves (talk) 02:26, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

But it isn't. Tell me if I'm wrong, but reference 7 there doesn't support that. :S Yves (talk) 06:45, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

December 2010

I am going to keep it short and simple for your convenience. Comments like the ones here and here are a direct violation of the "No Personal Attacks" policy of Wikipedia. You have already violated the policy twice, albeit with somebody who was actually trying to help you. This is absolutely unacceptable and either you apologize for such behaviour to the user, or else I will take you up to the administrators and you will be permanently blocked, is that understandable? Now you make your choice to be a respectable editor, or we will make you leave from here. We don't uncivil people here. — Legolas ^(talk2me) 08:58, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

Please listen to Legolas, GB. Posts like those are not on here. Gwen Gale (talk) 09:02, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

This does it, you will be blocked now. — Legolas ^(talk2me) 04:00, 21 December 2010 (UTC)
