Dare anybody to play or program New Jack Swing from this article!  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.36.194.72 (talk) 02:23, 24 December 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Fails to define the rhythm pattern 

message: Artists have been added under "List of new jack swing artists", but some of them don't point to the correct artist (example: the link to Finest Hour is an article about an arcade game). Please provide the correct links for these artists. Thanks. | QzDaddy 17:52, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cleanup required 

message: There are elements about this article that are just flat out wrong.  It 'implies' that Technotronic and Vanilla Ice were somehow involved with NJS (OMG SO WRONG!) and then blatantly states "Most notably: Raphael Saadiq, R. Kelly, TLC, Dallas Austin, Boyz II Men, Sean "Diddy" Combs, Will Smith, LL Cool J, and many others."
Will Smith represents the golden age of hip hop and LL Cool J?  Come on! LL did not become known for NJS.  He was an early pioneer! Underground? Yes.  Socially conscious rap? Yes.  Hardcore rap? Yes.  Battle Rap? Yes.  20 years is a long time and a lot of styles... But New Jack?  Give me a break.  Someone really needs to clean up this article.  It's like someone just put a lot of names in here to give it multiple points of index reference.

message: Hi, I am the editor who changed the list to a paragraph. Encycledias do not usually have bulleted lists of songs or albums, except perhaps if there was a short list of the "most influential" albums according to an influential music reviewer or music historian. Encyclopedias use written paragraphs of text. There are other problems with the bullet list, too. It makes it too easy for people to add their favorite band or song, even if the song only hit number 391 on the US charts, or didn't even chart. Having text also has advantages. It encourages other editors to "flesh out" the content with other facts. Bulleted lists are not interesting to read. Thanks for your comment.Nazamo (talk) 14:41, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi, here is an example from the new paragraph form which shows the benefits of using prose, rather than bullets. If this information was in bullets, we would just have 3 bullets informing us that Bell Biv Devoe, Johnny Gill, and Ralph Tresvant had hits in 1990, and giving us the song name and the chart ranking....BUT, you wouldn't know an important piece of information...that all these 3 are splinter groups from the band New Edition, a band which helped to establish the NJS sound.
Here is the excerpt from the article:
After the band New Edition broke up, its former members formed several splinter groups or acts, including Bell Biv Devoe, Johnny Gill, Ralph Tresvant, and Bobby Brown. In 1990, several ex-New Edition members had hit songs. Bell Biv Devoe's song "Poison" and Johnny Gill's single "Rub You the Right Way" both made it to number 3 in the US top 100. Ralph Tresvant had  a number 4 hit (US top 100 charts) and number 1 hit (US R&B) with his song "Sensitivity".Nazamo (talk) 18:33, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Paragraphs are more appropriate in an encyclopedia than bulleted lists 

message: This article uses both "New Jack Swing" and "new jack swing". In accordance with Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style_(capital_letters)#Musical_genres, it should be all lowercase. So I've gone ahead and changed all the instances of "New Jack Swing" to "new jack swing", except in proper nouns. -kotra (talk) 19:36, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Capitalization standardization 

message: Hello all, Thanks to the person who created the list of artists. One issue, though, is that it has no sources. This can create quality control issues, because other editors add bands they like, which may not be NJS. As well, jokers and vandals add in random names. So I have relocated the list to its own List article, under List of New Jack Swing artists.OnBeyondZebrax (talk) 14:07, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

message: So I am guessing 2017 is going to be the year no more typical instrument on infobox will be given wow? Please someone add the instruments its beginning to be ironic as if someone is removing them because they know me, I use that section for my research and to know what instruments to use to make a composition like New Jack Swing or others with a quick glance.  I requested synthpop instruments back up and someone did that since I am not a member and know my correctings will be controvesal I just am a request style for those who agree with this mystery person.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.201.89.236 (talk) 11:58, 29 October 2015 (UTC)

message: From listening to just "New Jack Swing songs," based on the song list given, the musical elements 
seem to be  these in  New Jack Swing: Drums, Bass guitar,  Synthesizers,
	Saxophone, trumpet, Brass hit, synth bass, Organ, Keyboard, strings, piano,
	Drum machine,  electric Yamaha DX keyboard, synth pads, singing, rapping, background vocals',Italic text'           
Also it is how these instruments are played that make it New Jack Swing. I cannot find any sited sources,
but listening one can detect some of the instruments being used, even on the live videos you can somewhat see what instruments are used to make the sound. 
I enjoy New Jack swing much.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.201.89.236 (talk) 20:58, 14 April 2016 (UTC)
