message: despite clearly coming from a hip hop (production) background. i dont hear any hip hop.. and soulful.. well u have that linked to soul music and it has no soul music link whatsoever.. (theres no rapping either to the fool who labelled them as a rap group..). Funk rock is the closest i could define them as.. and i think thats the most correct.. Bungalowbill 18:59, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: genre

message: Spymob are not a funk band or a funk-rock nor is their own music particularly funky. They were employed as merely a studio band for this album but all the music they've released under their own name is clearly power pop.  Listen to the Neptunes-produced song of theirs "Half-Steering..." off of The Neptunes Present... Clones for a blatant example of this.--Lairor 08:38, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Spymob

message: What does N*E*R*D stand for? N*E*R*D stands for No-one Ever Really Dies. The Neptunes are who we are and N*E*R*D is what we do. It's our life. N*E*R*D is just a basic belief, man. People's energies are made of their souls. When you die, that energy may disperse but it isn't destroyed.
Scientology, anyone?—Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.192.19.140 (talk) 18:20, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: The Quote

message: I deleted the two adds in the discography section. There is no source the upcoming album will be called Shae's Here Finally and Where'd Chad Go? is completely new to me. I did a Google search, and I didn't find anything. Either this was just a rumor, or someone tried to be funny. --Soetermans 19:15, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  discography

thread_title:  Everyonenose 

message: I can't find any sources that will back the article up about their apparent split up between 2005 and 2008. I always assumed that they were just on hiatus. Any thoughts? --Soetermans | is listening | what he'd do now? 00:37, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Split up? 

message: If I went into a record store, would I ask for "nerd" or "N.E.R.D."? --70.167.58.6 (talk) 20:17, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I always say En-Ee-Are-Dee, but sometimes Pharrell referes to the band as nerd as well, so I wouldn't know. Besides, if you're in any decent kind of recordstore, they'll probably will know what you mean. --Soetermans | is listening | what he'd do now? 11:14, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  pronunciation? 

message: Should albums/songs say the band is N.E.R.D or N*E*R*D? I've seen N*E*R*D on a few, and N.E.R.D on another. Consistency would we nice, so i'm looking here for the correct one. Matty (talk) 11:22, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, the discussion above here points out that N.E.R.D. is Wiki-accepted, and that is the actual title. Still, you can do this N*E*R*D, then it'll just go directly to the right article.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Soetermans (talk • contribs) 11:15, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Should albums/songs name the band.. 

message: Maybe somewhere in the discography it should be noted, that N*E*R*D had a song with Papa Roach called "Don't Look Back". It was featured on the Biker Boyz Soundtrack

thread_title:  Don't Look Back 

message: It sold 80,000 in its first week, not final.  The link that says it sold 80,000 goes nowhere, therefore, I'm removing it again . . . BGRuthless (talk) 15:32, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Removing the figures makes it seem it didn't sell anything at all. Not exactly the best solution. — Σxplicit 18:51, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: So let's just lie instead . . . Putting no number is better than putting some arbitrary figure up there. BGRuthless (talk) 21:21, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: We don't lie on Wikipedia; that totally destroys its entire purpose. Granted, that number if far out of date (as with many other albums, as they continue to sell, even in small numbers), but that's because publications haven't given us an updated number. — Σxplicit 21:27, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: How about putting something like "80,000+" instead then?  It tells the reader that we know of 80,000 sold and that there have obviously been more since.  As long as there is a source confirming 80,000 the first week, that seems like a reasonable replacement. BGRuthless (talk) 01:42, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Seems reasonable. Will implement shortly. — Σxplicit 02:27, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Nothing 

message: *In two places the article says Fly or Die sold 412,000 copies in the United States but then it says it went gold there. 500,000 copies is a gold record; did it go gold or did it just sell the 412,000? Erpert Who is this guy? | Wanna talk about it? 08:21, 19 December 2011 (UTC)

replies: text: Definitely one of the things to look at by engineering, which is a growing WMF department. It happens, and we don't presently have a way of easily catching it, which can make it difficult for readers to get to articles they want to read. I'm presently dablinking Tyrone because of the recent RM that placed that title at the dab page. It used to title the Tír Eoghain article, and I'm finding that about half the links to it need to be dablinked to County Tyrone. So many readers who wanted to read about that county in N. Ireland were instead taken to the article about the 5th–17th century kingdom. Fortunately, there's a link to the county in the lead... but still.
