Producer

Why was Tommy Coster Jr. listed as main producer instead of Dr. Dre? And why was Mel-Man not listed? I Removed Tommy Coster Jr. as producer since he's not credited on the album liner notes, whereas Mel-Man is. By doing some research I found out Tommy Coster Jr. only played the keyboard melody, and didn't do any production, which is a very different thing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.216.8.203 (talk) 04:41, 5 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Reference to the song in The Dark Knight

Udonknome, could you explain the delition of the section explaining the reference made in The Dark Knight? Why delete and not reorganize for example?

'The Dark Knight' was not necessarily referring to this song when that phrase 'Will the real x please stand up?' was used, because that phrase was originally used in the game show 'To Tell the Truth'; Eminem's use of that phrase is itself referring to something else.

Why was stuff deleted?

Why was information concerning Tom Green, Brittney Spears, and Christina Aguilira deleted from the article? The claims were all correct and supportable by looking at the lyrics. --EngineerScotty 17:30, 16 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Code missing from Info Box?

I'm not sure, but it appears code is (was) missing from the info-box. The chart position code was like this:

  Chart position = <ul>
<li>#1 <small>([[United Kingdom|UK]])</small></li>
<li>#2 <small>([[Switzerland]])</small>
<li>#2 

ll>([[Norway]])</small>
<li>#3 <small>([[Sweden]])</small></li>
#4 <small>([[United States|US]])</small>
<li>#4 <small>([[Italy]])</small>
<li>#6 <small>([[France]])</small>
<li>#6 <small>([[Austria]])</small>
<li>#6 <small>([[Finland]])</small>
<li>#7 <small>([[Germany]])</small> |

I have tried to set it up now, however I am assuming that the #2 refers to Norway, however there could be any number of entries missing and the #2 might not refer to Norway. If anybody can double check this, appreciated. DanielBC 11:17, 2 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Gay Marrigae

The gay issue must be addressed in the article more exactly. However I don't think there is a negative representation in this video (as well as other videos by Eminem regarding the issue.) It may looks like disapproving, but come on, we are now addapted to this level of joking. I am going to open an entry by the title "representation of gay people in popular culture" or simply gay representation —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Nyeditor (talk • contribs) 16:04, 11 March 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Twilight Zone Reference

Anyone ever realize the title is a reference to a twilight zone episode 'Will the real martian please stand up'? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.3.199.143 (talk) 04:31, 2 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This issue is addressed at the top of this talk page. It is not a reference to whatever happens to use that phrase. Nicander (talk) 19:39, 13 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please Shut Up

Under the parodies section, it states that "Will the Real Slim Shady PLease Shut Up" then goes on to say someone named Emily Ellis recorded it and says she's often confused with Christina Aguilera. But then the reference link goes to a People magazine article saying that it is Christina. Now, I can buy that that is an example of the mix up, but there is no documentation of Emily Ellis in the article. No page about this girl-rapper. NO link to a reference clearing up the mistaken identity. A Google search brings up people with that name who are models and actresses and non-celebs. This makes the Ellis info suspect at first glance. The entry needs to be properly cited for wikipedia standards. Medleystudios72 (talk) 18:30, 13 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
