This article seems to have been spammed by Fox and So You Think You Can Dance people. A disproportionate amount of space is given to the show, and to something called "Lyrical Hip Hop," which has, as far as I can tell, a very tenuous existence stemming from the above show. 2. "Lyrical hip-hop" yields 629 hits on Youtube as of 8/10/09. Cwalk yields 60,000. Yet crip walk is described here as a "fad dance." Both lyrical hip hop and cwalk should be moved under Styles. The LHH section should be drastically reduced. More weight needs to be given to legitimate hip-hop choreographers like Laurie Ann Gibson, Big Lez, and Rosie Perez. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.96.161.233 (talk) 08:34, 10 August 2009 (UTC) - I agree and disagree with you. I disagree that a disproportionate amount of space has been given to SYTYCD. I think ABDC is mentioned A LOT more than SYTYCD and with good reason since that show is more focused on hip hop dancing than SYTYCD is. I saw that you took the reference to SYTYCD out of the history section and I'm glad you did; I agree with that decision. It was an orphan sentence that just seemed to come out of nowhere. If the history section was more developed then maybe that reference at the end would make sense but at the moment it stood out like a sore thumb which is why it looked like spam.
- I agree that LHH has a tenuous existence. It is after all very new, only two years old. However, I disagree that it should be moved to the styles section for this very reason. I think the styles section should consist only of the main, most developed, most recognizable styles that have a significant amount of history behind them and that have been embraced not just nationally but internationally. LHH (and the c-walk) has not reached this level yet. I also disagree that it should be drastically reduced. If it had it's own article than I would agree with you. The main styles: popping, breaking, locking, krumping have their own articles. Other topics mentioned such as Juste Debout, tecktonik, and the various dance crews have their own articles as well so readers can go there if they want more information. But since LHH does not I think it's important for readers to know the history behind it especially since LHH came out of Hip Hop dance. 24.93.205.160 (talk) 18:39, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

- All of the edits from your IP address seem to be related to the promotion of D'Uomo bio and brand. This is against Wikipedia policy. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Liompa (talk • contribs) 22:26, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

- With all due respect, you're mistaken on policy. All of my edits are not related to the D'umo "brand". All of my edits are related to pages that have to do with dance. The D'umo pages are two of them as well as Dave Scott, Funk styles, Boogie bots, Hyphy, this article, and all the others. I do not add information about the D'umos to pages that have nothing to do with them and whenever I do make edits I always provide a reference which is why it's not a violation of policy. It's only a violation if the edits are not verifiable (WP:VERIFY), my own opinion (WP:NOR), and/or unbalanced (WP:WEIGHT, WP:SOAP, WP:COAT). This article is about hip hop dance. Nappytabs is a line of dancewear made specifically for hip hop dancers and it's mentioned in the dance industry section of this article. How is this against policy? This is completely and totally relevant to this article. As far as lyrical hip hop, that section was added in June by Esprit15d(talk|contribs), an administrator. My point being other people out there in Internet/Wikipedia land feel that the D'umos have contributed something important too.
- Because typing has no tone this is going to sound rude but I mean this in a cordial way. Please start signing your comments with four tildas. The fact that both comments before and after mine are autosigned and all respective edits/contribs have been to this page only, proves that you and 65.96.161.233 are the same person. You don't have to comment as two different people in order for me to listen to what you have to say... although I disagree with it. 24.93.205.160 (talk) 22:47, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Dance Moves There should be a new section called " Printable Dance Moves". You have to have dance moves for people to print. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.228.16.22 (talk) 21:01, 7 May 2008 (UTC) hip hop is one of the most danced daces in schools and culb —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.240.254.167 (talk) 21:47, 21 January 2009 (UTC) [edit] B Supreme Festival A user recently added the following under the international competitions section: - b.supreme Festival is a UK-based hip hop festival focusing on women in Hip Hop. B-girls from around the world descend on the Southbank Centre in London in April every year to compete in a series of battles which include locking, popping, breaking, waacking and newstyle and are judged by the likes of Rokafella, AsiaOne, Aruna, Kymberlee Jay and Sun-Sun. Previous winners include Movie One (Esp), Dora (Hun), Sun-Sun (UK), Pandora (USA), Nadia (Rus). The festival also showcases performances from international crews, workshops, graff exhibitions and MCing from up-and-coming UK talent. Previous performers include Decadance theatre, Unos Dos Tres, Haus Fraus, Venus Fly Trap, Boy Blue, DJ Sarah Love, Speech De Belle.
Seems like a good event but the entire thing was unsourced, not to mention it's written for hip-hop heads (rather than for a casual reader), along with the occasional misspellings and bad grammar (to all the UK people reading this, I'm not referring to the BE spelling) so I reverted the edit. I'm copying the prose to this talk page to see if anyone can find a good source about this event being an actual competition (rather than just a festival). I haven't been able to find good sources. The official website that I got off Google doesn't work. I got the message "Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn't here." Blogs and MySpace links do not count as reliable sources so I ignored those. The other web sources stated that it was a festival but said nothing about a competition. This source from 2MF magazine was OK but it made it seem like the event was more about entertaining and performing, like a festival should be, with the competitive aspect being secondary. If this is more of a country specific festival than a competition, I think it would be more appropriate in the hip-hop theater article under the festivals section. The international competitions section list 10 major events, nine of which have regional qualifying tournaments. Additions should be comparable. // Gbern3 (talk) 03:09, 10 November 2009 (UTC) [edit] GA Reviewer I listed this article at WP:GAN but starting the last week in November I will be in basic training and will not have access to the Internet until February 2010. If you feel this article has minor problems preventing it from GA status, please correct them yourself. My contribution history is going to make me look like I'm never on Wikipedia when in fact I don't have a choice but to be away. If you don't feel like fixing it yourself, please place this article "On Hold". I will gladly correct whatever mistakes there may be when I return. // Gbern3 (talk) 14:36, 20 November 2009 (UTC) |
