Talk:Neo soul

message: We need to create a Hip Hop-Soul talk page. On the Hip Hop-Soul article the hiephen is in the wrong place_wus up wit dat? My major question is if Neo Soul is 70s Soul elements mixed with        Alternative Hip Hop elements, and Hip Hop-Soul is 90s     urban contemporary, then what name should be given to the un-named sounds of today's scene?
Both Tweet and Jahiem use 1970s elements in their songs. What is you talkin' about bro?

replies: text: The nmae for the "unnamed sounds" is R&B. The hyphen is in the correct place ("hip-hop soul" is the correct spelling, you can't hyphenate a compound word with another compound word). And Jahiem should not be on this list; in reguards to her first album (the album tracks, not the singles), Tweet can remain but, after hearing her second album, I'm thinking that she might have crossed over to pure R&B. --FuriousFreddy 14:47, 5 August 2005 (UTC)

text: Me too. Is it called "nu soul" outside of the United States? Over here, it's never been called anything but "neo soul". --b. Touch 09:14, 23 Jan 2005 (UTC)

message: I have an aunt who is very into the church, an chooses to listen to none other than gospel. A christian friend of ours told me that neosoul was more or less "bad." I would like to know if neosoul has anyhting to do with religion.
:Personal belief...No, I believe many neo-soul singers have gospel roots but I personally don't believe that it has to do anything with religion. It mostly has to do with emotions and how a person feels (e.g. love)--skiguy06880 21:01, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

message: Instead of the list of singers all being packed onto this page, there should be a "List of Neo-Soul Artists" category.

message: Is the genre's name neo soul or neo-soul? Both the hyphenated version and the non-hyphenated version are used in the article. The title itself says neo soul. The article needs uniformity.--NPswimdude500 (Talk|Contribs) 02:05, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It should be neo-soul or neosoul as neo is a prefix here.  Wikt:neo gives just one arcane and dated definition of neo as a noun, a newcomer-fan to science fiction. But who cares, eh, fans? Rothorpe (talk) 22:08, 19 May 2017 (UTC)

message: Someone must have been angry when they wrote the 3rd paragraph of this section, it's way to biased. In need of a rewrite.

thread_title: Going Mainstream

message: Where would anyone get the idea that Tony Toni Tone had any role in the development of this genre?!  The music clearly began in Britain in the 1980s.  Soul II Soul, Brand New Heavies, Omar, and (arguably) Sade were the artists who broke through from what appears to have been a mid-late 80s underground scene in London.  It wasn't until 1995 that Raphael Saadiq produced D'Angelo; Tony x 3 was his mainstream pop-R&B group.  How did this info come about, that they were neo-soul?

message: Amy Winehouse is one of the farthest things from neosoul. She sings about going to rehab and is quite belligerent when she does it. Neo soul has a much smoother sound than what Amy Winehouse has to offer. I think she should be removed from the article because she is not a neosoul singer. skiguy06880 17:38, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

message: Shouldn't the Soulquarians be mentioned? They contain many of the most influential neo soul artist in the industry and they are also instrumental in the genre of neo soul--skiguy06880 19:17, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

message: I've noted removal of some links, some I can see why they have been removed as they are blatent advertising.
However I have re-instated the link to "Neo Soul Page" as it advertises nothing & is merely a resourse page on the "Neo soul" genre & subject.
If you intend removing this link again, or other links like it - please cite in detail your reasons why it is not legitimate in this wikipedia usage.
IE expand, give examples of how it is advertising - as I can see no evidence of this.
Please respect wikipedia users legitimate input & not 'vandalise' this page.
Thank you.

replies: text: Hi. The question of whether facebook links are appropriate in external links sections comes up quite often on Wikipedia, and the answer is response is almost always that they are inappropriate.  The only way I can imagine a facebook link being appropriate is if it was the official link, and the only one that exists.  This is because Facebook requires a user to log on to access it, their links are often transcient and the information contained within them shifts rapidly, and lastly because Facebook links usually do not give a reader an encyclopedic understanding of the subject in a way that cannot be done within the main text of our articles.  See specifically WP:ELNO point 10, and generally points 1, 6, and 11. ThemFromSpace 19:20, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

text: I reremoved the facebook link.  To make it more clear: facebook links are almost never acceptable on Wikipedia, except perhaps for an instance where an article might be about the group itself. I can't imagine any of the thousands of facebook groups in existance being linked to from this article.  Also, the material written on the book was done from an angle to promote the book, so I removed that as well. This article should be about the concept of neo soul itself, it shouldn't be used to promote any books about it. ThemFromSpace 05:37, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  External Links Section 

message: A piece of information simply being true does not make it relevant for inclusion in an article. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information; relevance must be established by independent reliable sources to whichever article it will be included in. This addition is giving undue weight to information that none of the sources cited say why it's relevant here (a description in a music review saying that the album is categorized as "neo soul", and a Billboard news article verifying its first-week sales). This is irrelevant and strays from the focus of the article (Wikipedia:Relevance of content). The 20/20 Experience already covers this information, so there's no reason to fork this content into this article. If you're trying to tie the album's commercial performance to "neo soul", please find a source that makes that connection. Otherwise, you are still engaging in original research. Per WP:NOR, "To demonstrate that you are not adding OR, you must be able to cite reliable, published sources that are directly related to the topic of the article".
