thread_title:  Kofi Annan 

message: I'm using WP:RS , specifically the following part:
Exceptional claims require exceptional evidence
Certain red flags should prompt editors to examine the sources for a given claim.
* Surprising or apparently important claims that are not widely known.
* Surprising or apparently important reports of recent events not covered by reputable news media.
* Reports of a statement by someone that seems out of character, embarrassing, controversial, or against an interest they had previously defended.
* Claims not supported or claims that are contradicted by the prevailing view in the relevant academic community. Be particularly careful when proponents say there is a conspiracy to silence them.
Exceptional claims should be supported by multiple credible and verifiable sources, especially with regard to historical events or politically-charged issues.
The website link you reference has no sources for the claim that Kofi Annan said this about Z-Ro. Furthermore, the person who wrote the article, Eb Haynes, is ... who? Finally, I can find NO other sites or sources or newspapers or interviews that back up this assertion. I did find a LOT of websites mocking this claim, however. I have removed the information, again, until you can find a clear source independant of a single, unverified comment on a website. Otherwise, I could write a review pointing out your boy recycles shit from PM Dawn (and how street is that? not!) and that he's appearantly your boy is back in jail. Again.
Ahem. --ElaragirlTalk|Count 14:20, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Notability 

message: Is Z-Ro considered Down South or Dirty South? I've found a couple of sources for the article but they keep conflicting each other. --ElaragirlTalk|Count 16:40, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Clarification for sourcing 

message: I edited and swapped some things around in the article, mostly for clarity but also so that some very simple complaints that ends up in getting musicians deleted can be met. The article still needs more sources, but that can wait as long as it's under work. If anyone disagrees with my edits (who has been editing the article already) go ahead and revert and we'll work it out here later. --ElaragirlTalk|Count 04:42, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Layout and tone 

message: I removed this section. This first appeared as an unsubstaniated rumor on allhiphop.com in early '06, and there has been no factual evidence to support this story since.

Somebody feel free to integrate these into the article, or I'll do it when I find some spare time.... justinfr (talk/contribs) 13:58, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  References to ad 

message: Sometimes IPs edit it to be Missouri City, Texas, sometimes they edit it to be Houston, Texas. In the absence of a source either way, I suggest keeping it at just Texas. Unless anybody can shed some light on this? justinfr (talk/contribs) 11:27, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Place of Birth 

message: It has been repeatedly proposed that the correct name is "Z-RO" instead of "Z-Ro", according to his MySpace page and album covers. Such proposals do not meet WP:Verifiability. MySpace requires an account in order to view Z-Ro's page, and the album cover must be purchased. Furthermore, even if true and verifiable, it is entirely possible that an all-caps font was used for emphasis in both cases. For example, it is NOT true that the word "not" must always be capitalized simply because it appears that way earlier in this sentence; that word was all-caps merely for emphasis. Therefore, I am reverting appearances of "Z-RO" to "Z-Ro" in this article, at least until others can provide reliable, verifiable proof that the pseudonym must always appear in all-caps. --Art Smart Chart/Heart 11:12, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
