thread_title:  Infobox fix 

message: vybz kartel started to attend calabar high school in 1987 in grade 7 at the age of 12. Also the all music source is incorrect (just in case you didnt know all music is a bio database that is compiled from people sending in information to them, so its not all that perfect). I wish I could contact Cliff Hughes (owner of this station http://www.nationwidenewsnetwork.com/) to get the video interview where kartel stated his age to Emily Crooks (that he was born january 1975). If any of you dedicated wiki workers/fans could do that for me I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.27.16.115 (talk) 17:07, 21 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: What you say may be correct, but Wikipedia works to what can be verified, not what is true.  And what you say cannot be verified without a cite.  I've reverted your change for the moment.  Feel free to change it back once you have a cite to backup your statement.  --Escape Orbit (Talk) 21:00, 21 January 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  VYBZ KARTEL BIRTH DATE IS INCORRECT 

message: Just wanted to say that this is the best reggae-artist page on Wiki I've seen so far. :)

thread_title: In depth

message: Someone might want to add a section on the controversy over some of his lyrics where he endorses killings gays and lesbians. The quote below was taken from this website: http://www.petertatchell.net/popmusic/mobos2004.htm
"Vybz Kartel sings “lesbians and queers must be assassinated” in his song Bedroom Slaughteration. Another track, Guns Like Mine, boasts that he “puts a bullet in a queer’s spine”."Carniv 19:46, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I disagree; the songs in question have not become a widespread controversy (as with Buju Banton), nor have they resulted in a significant amount of concert cancellations, as with other dancehall artists. Adding this subject to the article would not be biographical, and would violate the WP policy on original research, as it would only serve to further the agenda of the websites mentioned above.--Chimino (talk) 01:54, 3 April 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Controversy: Anti-gay lyrics 

message: While it is great that the article is in depth, it does seem somewhat subjective due to the lack of sources and unbalanced due to the focus on feuding rather than music. It need citations per Wikipedia:Verifiability and Wikipedia:Cite sources. It would be great if his style could be described, possibly through cited quotes. Hyacinth (talk) 23:40, 6 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I've removed a large part of the uncited material on this article.  It's a pity, as the writer appears to have known a great deal.  But Wikipedia does not permit original material that isn't reported elsewhere.  If anyone can get some good sources for this material it can go back in.   There was also a great deal of non-neutral praise that had to go.  Wikipedia is supposed to be neutral. The article still needs references, and lots of them, to verify most of what it says. --Escape Orbit (Talk) 12:38, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Who Wrote this? 

message: Who wrote this stultifying propaganda? The whole thing reads like promotional material for Kartel, putting him on a pedestal and ignoring his misdemeanours. For instance, why is there hardly any information regarding the controversy over his allegedly homophobic lyrics, and why have the accusations of misogyny made against him been eschewed altogether? Surely Wikipedia should be an objective source of information, not a tool for asserting your own agenda. And as if that wasn't bad enough, the article is also very poorly written, with little attention paid to details like grammar and punctuation. Come on, people, surely were all capable of producing better material than this garbage. I've tried cleaning it up myself, but I sometimes feel as though that's just too much of a gargantuan task. --Heslopian (talk) 01:32, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

message: Just a reminder YouTube and Amazon are not proper links for citation. That includes video links to sites such as irishandchin.com. Citations must be verifiable, written sources. Links to blogs are not the greatest sources, either, but still preferable to YouTube. Thanks --Chimino (talk) 03:15, 17 February 2011 (UTC)
