message: It should also be known that The Source owes Photogrpahers thousands of dollars for images, that were published. For all writers and photographers that were not paid for there services and was published in the magazine, is against copyright infridgement, which by the way is a FEDERAL offense. This magaizine will not last long, due to all the legal battles!!!  
LILVOKA, thanks for clearing everything up for me. I think I understand your approach now. I do agree that there is a lot of information about the magazine, and while I do agree that we shouldn't concentrate on minutiae too much (too many names tend to cloud everything) and that the Benzino angle is an important and ongoing event, I do feel it's a good idea to reflect the history of the magazine. The magazine itself is now in a bit of a mess because of all the controversy, but in the early 1990s it was *THE* magazine about hip hop and rap music. And just because Benzino has wraught a bit of havoc, I think it's important to highlight it's contributions as well. For example, they did a very important article about the crack epidemic in 1994 which I thought was an indication of how serious the magazine became. 
Again, thanks so much for your comments and thoughts. I'd be happy to concentrate on the history (since i used to read the magazine back in the early-to-mid 1990s and have many back issues) and I'll leave the Benzino aspect to you (or anyone else who might be reading). Does that sound fair?

message: This article is awful. I prefer XXL, but I wouldn't want their staff editing an article on The Source, which is what this looks like. If no one minds, I'll make a few big changes. Discuss here. Dg7891 (talk) 00:28, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: This article jumps right into a lawsuit involving Mays (founder) and Benzino.  I don't know who Benzino is, is that a first name or a last name?  Who is he/she related to The Source?
The page mentions the four founders but then dives right into this mystery person Benzino...doesn't make any sense.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.85.192.154 (talk) 15:21, 29 June 2017 (UTC)

thread_title:  How were the winners of the Source awards chosen? 

message: It seems like this article had much of its content pared away over time to the point it now doesn't even mention its founders, it's history, or the highly publicized "beef" between Benzino and Eminem. Seems a bit odd. OmniusM (talk) 22:04, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: What about L. Londell McMillan? Except that The Source  it once sold on newsstands and the pair of NYTimes/LATimes citations,  the challenge for WP:RS is quite far from being met. I found a small amount of material from other mainstream/professional publishing sources, such as the advertising industry. With so much material trimmed away, as noted above, the hatnote re WP:RS defies much of what Wikipedia:Reliable_sources actually says. Based on survival of the fittest, I'm removing the unreliable sources as being a matter of recentism. Nuts240 (talk) 12:03, 2 January 2023 (UTC)
