Prince (musician)

Nearly every musician has won an award at some point or another. The lead sentence is supposed to simply identify the subject of the article, and the article is about Prince, not his awards. If there are specific awards that are for some reason important to his career, they should be mentioned later in the lead. But tacking on "award-winning" to the lead sentence inherently casts him in a positive light and is POV. ShadowHalo 22:38, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

I'm aware that he's won two Grammys and an Oscar. I'm not denying that at all; I'm saying it doesn't belong in the lead sentence. The part in WP:NPOV that covers this is WP:UNDUE. "Just as giving undue weight to a viewpoint is not neutral, so is giving undue weight to other verifiable and sourced statements. An article should not give undue weight to any aspects of the subject, but should strive to treat each aspect with a weight appropriate to its significance to the subject. Note that undue weight can be given in several ways, including, but not limited to, depth of detail, quantity of text, prominence of placement, and juxtaposition of statements." Having the first words of the article be "Prince is an iconic award-winning" puts him in a positive light when all the lead sentence is supposed to do is identify the subject of the article. That the Jack Nicholson and Meryl Streep articles have the same structure is irrelevant. I'd hardly consider an article with the sentence "Streep is widely considered one of the most respected and talented actresses of all time" in the lead to be a model of NPOV.

glad to help, hope the explanation in the AFD put any concerns to rest. FT2 23:19, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

I have updated the article, infobox and a few citations. The article should pass WP:BIO Athlete now. However it's still pretty poor on citation. Still depends on what you want to vote on it. But being that he competed in ECW and ECWA is passable for WP:BIO Athlete and being that he won belts, should be fairly notable in professional wrestling terms. Your thoughts are welcome know.

You helped choose carbon dioxide as this week's WP:ACID winner

That Chuck Taylor article that was deleted has been recreated. The new AfD is HERE. Nikki311 20:51, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Lol...I'd prefer if you thank me and curse those who recreated the article. Don't kill the messenger! Nikki311 22:38, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Ah I see things a little more clearly now --EdWood 22:56, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

You Assume To Much

Don't message me if you don't know the facts and try to explain the "rules" to me. I haven't violated anything, he has given me permission to use, which is good enough, I have it in writing. No, I do not know him. You told that kid, the new one to watch and see what would happen and tehn deleted all his stuff, that is jsut rude and personal. --EdWood 22:59, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

You are rude and I am just responding to you to let you know that sometihign must be wrong on your end because I see my sigs in all my messages. Please do not message me with your immature antics anymore, we will let it play itself out. --EdWood 23:20, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Once more, without spelling errors. Darrenhusted 23:21, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

The question is what do you have against Chuck Taylor personally that makes you such an angry person. Please do not message me rudely again. --EdWood 23:59, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Stop messaging me EdWood

Then I shall make it my job to remove myspace External links from every wrestler and the WWE articles. Also jsut because you take it upon yourself to edit all over the place does not give you the right to be rude and sarcastic. I fully intend to report you for your demeanor towards me (I did not re add the article), you have been rude, sarcastic and condesending and I do not need that from you who, judging by the groups you belong to are the TV Wrestling fanboy. YOu come off as one of those people who thinks televised wrestling is the only wrestling. He is a champion, that is all that matters. He is more famous than you or I or any of the users/editors for that matter, that makes him notable.--EdWood 00:19, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

And? Darrenhusted 00:25, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Chuck Taylor

Go ahead and place the CSD tag on there. I created the AfD after the tag was removed earlier today twice. I figured this may need to be debated (again), though perhaps I was hoping an admin could step in and help with this too. Wildthing61476 00:22, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

It's been deleted, thanks for the help. Wildthing61476 00:38, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
