message: Big Moe clarifies confusion over his b-day in the DJ Screw: the Untold Story DVD.  June 27th is BIG JUT's birthday and the name of one of the most wellirthday of D-Moe, not Big Jut, Screw, or Big Moe.  If u listen to the shouts over the K-Dee "Freshest Mc" instrumental on the June 27th tape , you can hear everyone saying happy b-day to D-Moe.  Big Jut was not on the June 27th tape.Djcomatoast 06:29, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

message: Well-written: its prose is engaging, even brilliant, and of a professional standard;
The information presented in this page about DJ Screw is very informative and well-written.  Aside from a few grammatical errors, I am always interested in reading biographies and this page does nice job of synthesizing the life of DJ Screw.  
Comprehensive: it neglects no major facts or details and places the subject in context [and what might be missing?]
By no means does this lack information about the accomplishments and related works that DJ Screw compiled throughout his lifetime.  Perhaps there could be a new section that talks about some of DJ Screw’s “screw-tapes” to give an idea of how DJ Screw compiled his tapes.  A quick fix to this would be to link the term ‘djing’ to another Wikipedia page titled ‘disc jockey.’  While this is a popular term, it may help readers understand the nature of work that DJ Screw was involved with.  Nevertheless, this page does a great job providing a background story of how DJ Screw got involved with his work and how his mother’s music collection had a profound impact on his tapes.
Well-researched: it is characterized by a thorough and representative survey of relevant literature on the topic. Claims are verifiable against high-quality reliable sources and are supported with citations; this requires a "References" section in which sources are listed, complemented by inline citations where appropriate; [are there a variety of sources/viewpoints?]
Although there are only 7 references provided in this page, the information provided is reflective of reliable sources.  On the other hand, as noted at the top of the page, additional sources are needed to enhance and verify some of the information provided.  If all of the information presented in the page is also found in any of the 7 sources presented, than one quick fix for this could be to add additional ‘inline citations’ immediately following the facts presented in the page opposed to adding the citation at the end of the section. 
Neutral: it presents views fairly and without bias
After reading through this page, I did not notice any biased information or subjective opinions.  In terms of DJ Screw’s “screw-tapes,” are there any critiques available that could be referenced in this page?  Perhaps this information could be included under the ‘legacy’ section as similar information has been included. 
Formatted appropriately: it follows Wikipedia style guidelines.
For the most part, the layout of the page is in alignment with the style guidelines of Wikipedia with the exception of the “screw-tapes” sub-section of the ‘discography’ heading.  One way of displaying this information could be with a 3 column graph.  Another strategy for breaking up this information would be to display the tapes by release date.  As noted at the top of the page, check to make sure that all information presented is referenced with a verifiable source.  If there is any additional information available about DJ Screw’s “screw-tapes,” you could add a section about the impact of the tapes on his life/work/etc.  One last note – are there any external links available to his tapes that could be provided within the page to explore some of the works listed (i.e. under the ‘discography’ heading).
All in all, the depth of information presented in this page is meaningful and relevant to the life of DJ Screw and the page has been constructed in a logical manner.  Nice job! HeelFan2445 (talk) 17:16, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

message: Well-written- Very well written, takes information and makes it easy to read/follow. 
Comprehensive- Provides a lot of information about DJ Screw, doesnt seem to leave anything out. Good organization of information and a good selection of subtitles!
Well-researched- Does not lack information, however the more sources that provide info the better, even if it is repetitive it could make your page even more legitimate. 
Provides information in a very neutral way, the format of the page is very organized, keep up the good work. Brechbue (talk) 21:35, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

message: Well-written: I thought that it was very cleaver to make a bibliography for DJ Screw for your Wikipedia entry. It looked very professional and followed the Wikipedia format correctly. There were only a few grammar errors that are easy to fix.
Comprehensive: I think you did a great job with all of the information you gave throughout the page. One of the things I would like to see would be some more early life information, and if anything in his childhood inspired him.
Well-researched: After going through the sources you provided, I thought they were trustworthy. One thing I would add would be more citations.
Neutral: I definitely think your page presents views fairly and without bias.
Formatted appropriated: I believe the Wikipedia page is formatted correctly. I also believe it is well structured. The only thing I would recommend changing would be the citations throughout the page.

message: Overall great job and a very creative topic.  I would not think of something like this to do research on but it is perfect because you can be specific and almost create a bibliography for DJ Screw.
Well Written:  I think the bibliography aspect of the Wikipedia entry is very good.  One thing I would try to add is more links within your page.  It will make it look much more professional as well as create the Wikipedia guidelines.  I feel like this page has created a very professional feel and is well written.  I noticed a few grammer errors throughout the page, mainly at the bottom in the Death and Legacy sections.  I also feel like those sections should be a bit more expanded and deepened with the history of what happened.  
Comprehensive:  I thought you did a great job illustrating where he was from and the background he was raised in. I think you need to expand in dates and exact places DJ Screw was throughout his life and career.  I am a little confused what else he was involved with except for a DJ and a little bit of obstacles.  I think it would be smart to expand on his life growing up and learning the ways.  Who does he learn from?  What exact does he take from each person?
Well- Researched:I feel like the sources used at the bottom of the page are very reliable.  Personally, I would like to see a few more links and proof of where you found exact dates and information if I was using this as an educational purpose.  I feel like the citing part is a bit weak.  I think it would be great to show in detail where the citations were used within the page of your DJ Screw article.
Neutral:  There does not seem to be a bias in any direction.  My one thought would be that her writter assumes that people are a little educated on this man, and in fact I have no idea who he is.  I think you just outlined a great use of information and recorded accurate data. 
Formatted Appropriately: This article does follow Wikipedia guidelines.  I feel the main change is that links need to be made within the page to other Wikipedia pages.  I feel like the writer needs to pay more attention to "screw tapes" and make sure it is fitting into the page and organized the same way as the rest of the information.
I think overall this page is very informative and  has a deep value.  Good work!!  Johnstc (talk) 22:17, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

message: Overll great job and a very interesting topic. 
Strengths: You all had great sources to back your information up. Also this page was well structure and I feel as though the information was well in order. Also I felt that your page was neutral and that this page was not biased in anyway.
weaknesses: I really did not see any weaknesses, but I think you could have talk about some artists that DJ Screw influenced.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tarheel57 (talk • contribs) 23:37, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

message: The information is all relevant and should probably be included at some point.  Careful about use of past and present tense.  He “was” a DJ, but he “is” the creator.  Some of the sentences are a little too complex.  Try to remove eliminate unnecessary information.   I would include the death in the biography, and mention the controversy about it in there.  No need to add unnecessary headings.  Same things goes for the subheadings under Legacy.  I also think that it reads a little too much like a narrative.  It’s important to include factual information that is important to understanding his story, but minor details can be omitted.  This is highly comprehensive… I was impressed with the extent to which you covered the discography.  Coverage of his life, legacy, and his musical contributions are what is needed and what is covered here.  The inline citations seem to reference reliable resources.  Be careful not to editorialize.  “cast a large shadow in Houston.”  Things that can’t be measured usually require some kind of value judgment.   Just quote somebody who says something like that, instead of stating it flat out.  As far as I can see, you’ve provided the necessary citations.  The screw tapes are kind of disorganized in a list.  I would use a table.

message: An IP just removed the overly-detailed template from the section listing the screw-tapes. Is that section warranted, or should the list of titles be pared back? —C.Fred (talk) 17:23, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: The mixtapes should be added in a table under this section. An artist's discography is essential, even when there are a lack of references. Ben0kto (talk) 18:48, 2 November 2013 (UTC)

message: It should be mentioned that the Screwed Up Records and Tapes location at 7717 Cullen Blvd in Houston, TX has been relocated to 3538 West Fuqua, Houston, TX. Also, merchandise/recordings/memorabilia can be purchased online now at http://screweduprecords.com/. This would be beneficial for new fans or those looking to find more current info on SUC and Screw.
