[edit] Article alerts

This is a notice to let you know about Article alerts, a fully-automated subscription-based news delivery system designed to notify WikiProjects and Taskforces when articles are entering Articles for deletion, Requests for comment, Peer review and other workflows (full list). The reports are updated on a daily basis, and provide brief summaries of what happened, with relevant links to discussion or results when possible. A certain degree of customization is available; WikiProjects and Taskforces can choose which workflows to include, have individual reports generated for each workflow, have deletion discussion transcluded on the reports, and so on. An example of a customized report can be found here.

If you are already subscribed to Article Alerts, it is now easier to report bugs and request new features. We are also in the process of implementing a "news system", which would let projects know about ongoing discussions on a wikipedia-wide level, and other things of interest. The developers also note that some subscribing WikiProjects and Taskforces use the display=none parameter, but forget to give a link to their alert page. Your alert page should be located at "Wikipedia:PROJECT-OR-TASKFORCE-HOMEPAGE/Article alerts". Questions and feedback should be left at Wikipedia talk:Article alerts.

[edit] Invitation

I'd like to invite everyone to join the WikiProject R&B and Soul Music. We are currently on demand for new members, the project was dying, but with your help we can revive it and make it one of the best WikiProjects. Make me sure that you'll think about this and remember cooperative works can do amazing things. Regards 98.71.197.126 (talk) 06:28, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Rapper categories

Some editors are going through the categories replacing the cat "American Rapper" with "African American Rapper" and "European American Rapper". Is that really necessary? danno 11:49, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Soulja Boy Tell'em Middle Name.

Hello all, while I am aware that many do/may not like Soulja Boy and/or his music, there seems to be a little problem we're having. We have several sources which clarify two different middle names for the artist. There was once a discussion which seemed to land at a consensus of "Ramone" over "Cortez" as one was mostly used by blogs and other non-reliable sources. But now, as he was recently arrested, the debate seems to have sparked again. I am bringing this here for possible help. Thank you. --HELLØ ŦHERE 17:55, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

Sources that Suggest his name middle name is Cortez. However these are all from the same event and there is a chance that a mistake made could propagate through all the other sources. I am indeed very curious as to what his real middle name is. Perhaps the Police department will release a briefing, I'm sure they found out his real middle name when they arrested him. --Vishnu2011 (talk) 18:19, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Hip Hop & Hip hop music

Something desperately needs to be done about there being two articles about such a prominent subject. Right now I would think the best move would be to move Hip hop to Hip hop (cultural movement) or Hip hop culture, and then move Hip hop music to Hip hop, since it is generally thought of as a genre of music first. Any thoughts? Zazaban (talk) 08:28, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
