Wow, such a short time on wikipedia, and already your user page has been vandalized! Your boy who hates e-40 changed your user page a bit... I left it so you can cite it if you start a mediation or complain to admins about him/her. Remember to continue taking the high ground in the dispute... like I mentioned, he'll probably lose interest and find some fansites to terrorize. As you deal with him, you may wish to check some of the pages that khokoi or however you spell it linked to you above in the welcome message he left. Hope all is well [[User:Reggaedelgado|Reggaedelgado]] 21:15, 16 May 2006 (UTC) |

I see that [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The golden age of hip hop|''The golden age of hip hop'' is up for deletion]]. I wonder what you think of this. [[User:P.O.N.Y.|P.O.N.Y.]] 17:39, 21 May 2006 (UTC) |

I noticed that on the E-40 page there is an image of his latest cd cover. I was working on the Thizz page and wanted to add either the Thizz Nation logo, or their compilation cd cover. My question is (there are no dumb questions, but this one may be), are cd covers public domain? What is the best way to go about this?
Well you could upload it, use {{albumcover}} if it is an album or {{logo}} if it is a logo. Make sure you add a detailed fair use rationale for each use, as described on Wikipedia:Image description page, as well as the source of the work and copyright information.

Vandalism
Hi Carlitos,
Vandalism is "any addition, deletion, or change to content made in a deliberate attempt to reduce the quality of the encyclopedia." I guess you could call it one of the "side effects" of having a encyclopedia open to anyone. People do it because they think it's fun/funny, I guess. The thing you saw on the Mac Dre page was obvious vandalism, because someone added "he must be about 12". Ususally things like that are reverted right away. Hope that helped. —Khoikhoi 22:23, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
Bay Area scene
Umm if you want to improve this articles and want to put a team together you can ask on the project talk page. If you wish, I'll try to help as I can. Best way to learn how to expand this pages would be to compare it to other similar good articles. Blues is a good example of a featured article of a type of music. The layout it gives is pretty good to understanding what you need to do with Hyphy and Thizzle. I would take all the sections from Blues and develop the articles like that: Characteristics, History, Impact. Thanks. - Tutmosis 19:47, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
e-40
Who is this person writing so much garbage about the man? There's so much to be said, and so little of it has to do with the so-called "controvesy"? I guess with the good (Bay gettin out there), comes the bad (Hating on 40 for rapping abour muscle cars???). I'm somewhat new to wikipedia, how do disagreements like this normally get settled? -- Carlos 15:50, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
- Well, as far as I have noticed, wikipedia has disagreements like this all the time. Usually they involve someone determined to put their point of view in an article, not realizing that it is a point of view and not clear cut fact. They usually rely on "sources" that are of very little reliability or can be interpretted many ways. Occasionally, like this time, they also involve people who see some sort of conspiracy (GMC/Yahoo pushing e-40). The good news is that usually the person with the POV is not especially committed to wikipedia and loses interest and goes away, especially when there are multiple people opposing their changes. There are other official wikipedia methods as well (see WP:DR, but I have never been involved in any of them—I usually just try to be calm and detatched... it usually bores the other person into leaving or gets them to understand a bit better what is going on in the wikipedia. I'm sorta surprised that 40 has attracted this attention, but I'm glad people give a crap about the bay. It's also nice to have you here on the site helping describe our baysiness.... yadadadadadingdong? Reggaedelgado 16:09, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
