Talk:Rare groove

message: i redid this page, probably not as much info as in the original like you said said maceo but yeah i added a couple more artists, someone seems to have gotten rid of th elists for no reason, the lists of artists i tihnk are very helpful for people trying to get into the music, as it gives them a base for hunting for new music, so please stop getting rid of the lists and things whoever does it. 121.217.153.133 (talk) 11:42, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

message: I don't know who did it, but who ever you are, thanks for bringing back the Rare Grooves page. From what I've seen of the page it appears to be quite more advandced since the first Rare Grooves article, with a longer list of musical artists. The first paragragh is a bit shorter than that of the original, but I'll add information when I come across it. I hope this article can develop further in the future, as Rare Grooves are a type of music I hold close to me and would like this artical to be maybe no longer a stub (what does that take?).--Maceo (talk) 17:07, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  What the heck happened? 

message: I am proposing adding an example of a rare groove digital library that sells rare groove in mp3 formats rather than vinyl as referred to in the article.  There was a list of 3 rare groove record stores here as well but they have been deleted.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kary247 (talk • contribs) 22:36, 21 December 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: The one you have repeatedly added is commercial, has a shopping cart, and sells MP3s. We do not ever add commercial links like this for any reason. Our external linking policy specifically prohibits links to "web pages that primarily exist to sell products or services" (WP:ELNO point 5). If you have a non-commercial site to propose, it will of course be considered. Yworo (talk) 22:45, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

text: Please read and comprehend WP:EL, WP:NOTLINK, and WP:NOTDIR. I don't think you're getting this. There is no requirement that an article have external links. Many articles do not. If there are no links that comply with our policies, we simply don't list any links. We do not direct traffic to anybody's commercial site. If you don't believe me, ask over at the external links noticeboard or at WikiProject Spam. If I posted a notice at the latter, half-a-dozen uninvolved editors would come over here and also say "no".  Yworo (talk) 03:31, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

text: WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is never a valid argument on Wikipedia. Those links need to be reviewed and many of them may need to be removed. Also, please don't copy the links here, I can see them just fine on the article. Yworo (talk) 14:06, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

text: As I've told you, the copyright issue you bring up is moot. We don't make exceptions for commercial sites for that reason. Yworo (talk) 20:55, 22 December 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  External Link for Rare Groove mp3 needs to be commercial because of licensing issues with torrent sites that are non-commercial 

message: I think you are being a bit strict here - because of the issues of included an external link to wiki for peer to peer torrent sites - copyright etc- I need to reference a commercially licensed rare groove mp3 site - the point being that this new technology has made the genre more affordable and available to the masses - hence the oxford dictionary in 2008 included the term 'rare groove'.  This is the suggested wording.
Vinyl records that fall into this category generally have high resale prices. Rare groove records have been sought after by not only collectors and lovers of the types of music, but also by hip hop artists and producers.[3] Commercially licensed rare groove mp3 is more affordable and new digital technologies[4] allow users more affordable access to the genre, this affordability has brought about a resurgence of the genre in recent years, as evidenced by the inclusion of the term 'rare groove' in the Oxford dictionary.

thread_title:  Compromise- Suggested re-wording 

message: Because of the issues of not being able to use a commercially licensed site and because it would not be fair to artists to use a torrent site and because the commons does not have any rare groove audio, we can't upload a sample of rare groove at the moment as an audio file because there has not been an agreement.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kary247 (talk • contribs) 17:11, 27 December 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  consensus 

message: I think it would be a good idea to have a section at Groove(music) on 'rare groove'.  I think then this stub could then link to that category - lots of people search for the term 'groove' and as it is a very popular style of music it would be good to link this page, rare groove,  to the main page - I have put a suggestion on the Groove page also.--Kary247 (talk) 15:34, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Link to that category? So, categories impact search results and this page would get more hits if that page links to this page?—Machine Elf 1735 (talk) 00:00, 29 December 2010 (UTC)

text: Groove is not a music, it is a way in which music is played. Also, it has nothing to do with hard to find vinyl. 83.87.238.229 (talk) 19:15, 17 December 2013 (UTC)
