"Uwaifo's hobbies include swimming, bodybuilding, gaming, reading, writing, and bringing up children in the fear of God so that they will not depart from God when they grow up."

I hope they're only his own children! Sounds SCARY otherwise.

has already been changed!

The reissue album on Soundways rules BTW

hahahha the first one is hilarious and so obvious.

"Many artists and singers have lauded the young producer for his talent at driving membership at PBS and supporting interest in more obscure types of music, primarily because of his own passion for oldies music."

full of roffles

"When he turned 22, Lubinsky was offered a job to work for PBS in south Florida, and eventually Pittsburgh, often considered the mecca of oldies music."

"He is also notable for bringing to U.S. television several episodes of Doctor Who that were never before screened in the United States"

also check the official portrait

dude reminds me of my hapless cousin

You know, I don't know much about the oldies scene, but Pittsburgh seems as likely a place as any.

can you get a source on that?

okay, who's amended the link at the bottom of the page?

After Gabe graduated from USC School of Cinematic Arts, he made pilots with whatever camera and whatever money he could scrounge.[citation needed] His first attempt was a sketch comedy show which he made on location with friends, an old video camera and about a hundred dollars worth of fast food. This first attempt caught the eye of Jim Abrahams of Airplane/Kentucky Fried Movie /Police Squad fame who told him that if he was able to produce an entire show with only hundred dollars and an old camera, then he should go to the next level and try and borrow better equipment.[citation needed]

NED you think Little Orphan Orange is a STUPID NAME?????

Sorry all that I am almost a year behind on these FACTS and VIDEOS.

To be fair, I think some of these are a matter of fans cutting and pasting official bios from people's websites onto Wikipedia.

So that's why the nabisco page is a hagiography.

Is the Ned reading the almanac thing REAL?

i wish that nobody had changed the victor uwaifo page. that's childish.

nabisco may be right in the case of sir victor uwaifo; probably not in the case of TJ lubinsky.

re. mr. lubinsky: his grandpa who he mentions in his wikipedia page is herman lubinsky, boss of savoy records and an infamous shithead.

but seriously can someone with an active wikipedia account mark that lubinsky page as irrelevant or something? there's no reason he should have a wikipedia page.

it's an outrage

THIS WILL NOT STAND

amtst, please tell about lubinsky the elder being an infamous shithead.

an artist out of UTAH by the name of SEE-SMOKE, has also recorded a freestyle over the instrumental for two of his mixtapes, Dat Piff and Paranormal Activity.

Marcella started her professional career as an assistant at the Hit Factory in March 2002. After graduating with honors from the Full Sail Production and Recording Program in Orlando, Florida, she was identified as a person with tremendous potential. After only two months, she was working as an assistant engineer in sessions for Timbaland and Missy Elliot. Subsequently, she became a fulltime engineer at the studio, working closely with Timbaland. In 2003, she met Danja who recognised that her potential would take her far. Danja soon involved Marcella in the recording and mixing of all of his records, helping him to achieve “his sound.”

It's very real:

so this girl was in my hs grad class, I only noticed it cause she is not listed under famous hs alum and I had no idea she 'made it'.

nobody has heard of this meme, right? sorta impressive that she'd cite 48 sources.

she is now*

That's news to me, but tbh there are plenty of meme-ish link which show up on my facebook page that I completely ignore.

Pretty clear she wrote this all herself, though.

if whiney has heard of this meme I am willing to consider it a meme

nobody has heard of this meme, right?

lol you do not know any singers I guess, because that went around to all of my friends several times starting in 2009, culminating in several of them seeing her perform live with various Broadway casts like Billy Elliot

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=go5KhjI8_v0

like, every classical/theater singer in the Boston area has likely seen this about a bazillion times

omg I had not seen her "California Gurls"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eW-Qy3ZXn8g&feature=related

idg how the joke would be funny for longer than 10 seconds

still I am impressed that someone I (vaguely) knew irl is attempting a meme-based career

idg how the joke would be funny for longer than 10 seconds

congratulations, you have just described a successful meme

Nad Sylvan has a passion for gardening and is an expert connoisseur of flowers and plants. A skilled horse rider, having ridden since he was eleven years old, Nad loves also swimming and long walks in the woods, where he appreciates contact with nature and animals.

That paragraph can also be used as the 'personal profile' section on his CV/resume, and as part of his online dating profile.

I'd watch this biopic.

That’s when he definitively found the perfect name. When thinking about Nadine, he was asked for his first name and answered “Nad, full name, Nad Sylvan”.

Meanwhile Nad, thanks to his song “Yellow Sky” from “Sylvanite”, became Steve Gilmore’s “Artist of the Year”.

If you're writing your own Wikipedia entry, then you're not famous enough to have a Wikipedia entry.

love this aside

His band, “Avenue”, was influenced by Genesis (band), Yes (band), Gentle Giant and Camel (band). Punk rock arrived also on the scene at this time and in 1980 he formed the “Chris Stewart Band”, writing music in the style of Gino Vannelli and Al Jarreau.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_Louie_Bankston

King Louie Bankston (a.k.a. King Louie, born Louis Paul Bankston) is a rock and roll musician from New Orleans. Associated early on with garage punk, he abandoned the genre in 1998 and has focused on Louisiana swamp pop, boogie woogie, boogie rock and power pop. He is best known for his work in the Royal Pendletons, The Persuaders, The Exploding Hearts, and The King Louie One Man Band.[1] Bankston has toured Europe and the United States since the very early 1990s. He has released 53 records in the vinyl format. Louie does not use any outside promotion and uses a strict rule of ATTRACTION AND NOT PROMOTION for his music. Louis currently plays music based out of Oakland CA and lives in a suburb of New Orleans LA. Bankston has lived in New Orleans, Portland, and Memphis.

The rest of the entry definitely confirms he wrote it.

hahahahaha one of my best friends from college is also in that band

I was literally looking at a cartoon of them yesterday

I was also thinking abt this thread because I recently saw this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastic_Crimewave

[David Samuels'] article, entitled "The Pink Panthers," was an idiosyncratic travelogue that detailed the group's cinematic robberies against the backdrop of recent Balkan history.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Po!

Po! was originally formed by Ruth Miller (vocals and guitar), with Julian Glover (bass) and Mark Fuccio (drums). Usually subsumed under the C86 or twee pop headings - which is not essentially to misrepresent them - they possessed considerable originality. In particular, the themes of misogyny, disappointment, and nostalgia act as a counterpoint to the vocals, melodies, and jangly guitars so characteristic of the genre.

Part of the fanzine scene, Po!'s first release was the flexidisc Hopscotch in the Snow, which a Leicestershire fanzine Samantha produced from locally recorded demos in 1987. Jan Frazer replaced Fuccio on drums for this recording. This was picked up by BBC Radio 1 DJ John Peel, and provoked some interest. In 1988 Po! released another flexidisc, this time shared with The Originals, who played the backing instruments on 'Glass King'. There followed an album, released on the band's own Rutland Records label, entitled Little Stones, 1000 copies of which were pressed. It cost just £20 to record. The backing tracks were recorded on a Tascam reel-to-reel four-track at MikTon Studios (a former factory at 45 Chatham Street, Leicester; now private flats).The backing musicians for Little Stones were members of The Originals; Yvonne Blair (drums & percussion); Kevin Young (Guitar); Terri Lowe (Guitars, Bass Guitar). Equipment was supplied by Lowe and borrowed from Phil Hudson, the sound engineer at The Princess Charlotte, the premier music venue in Leicester. Bob Dylan, an influence, was represented in the form of a cover version of "All I Really Wanna Do", which featured a black 12-string Rickenbacker guitar.

Ruth continued to play, bringing in Mary Mills (Bass Guitar) and Jan Frazer returned on Drums. Frazer left and Lowe was added on Guitar, with Craig (?) on Drums.

[...]

Miller, who played the character of Bridget in the comedy soap opera "Chez Lester", broadcast on the Cable 7 community TV channel, was married and had two children with Lowe, but is now divorced. Miller works as a deputy headmistress.

I wish all minor bands who didn't do anything much could be covered by wikipedia in this detail, I have had to fight long and hard to get perfectly notable bands on there because NME and MM archives are not online.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Golden_Horde_(band)

Regarded as some of the few musicians to stick so resolutely to their principles that they arguably did a disservice to their career, nevertheless, the band did attain some commercial success. Yet, that in itself has always been surpassed by the cult underground following The Golden Horde retain to the present day. More significant again is their influence across a variety of alternative musical acts, which continues to propagate further with the digitization of rare, unreleased, and live recordings, and performances.

Simon Carmody now pursues a career in screenwriting.
John Connor is based in New York City. One of his solo music projects is 'messyheads' [23][24]
Sam Steiger now performs with The Sultans of Ping FC.
Peter O'Kennedy now works in sculpture, art and design.[25]
Des O'Byrne is a performing DJ in the US.

Joining the group in 1983, the group had another level of creativity and talent with the presence of the PRINCE OF SOUND himself, who is also known in the group by the moniker the Stetsa-Human Mix Machine provided beatboxing and other human percussion. Also, what many didn't know was that he was the very first Latino human beat box to hit the hip hop scene.

Wise debuted his Human Turntable technique of beatboxing on the band's first single, which was released in 1985. There was also another single from the album in which Wise and Daddy-O collaborated. While Daddy-O performs the vocals, Wise gives his version of "Impeach the President," which happens to be the very first time that a human beatbox was heard adding a song-like rhythm to the beat that was coming out of his mouth on the song "Faye"[citation needed] which was on the group's first album.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_Adora

The first song the pair wrote was "Friday Night Explodes", which explored their experiences of working all week and getting drunk at Snobs nightclub in the city every Friday night.

The band met manager Mark Chester (who thought King Adora "were like The Clash, they were the perfect band") and gave him a three-track demo, which he circulated amongst A&R representatives

King Adora were heavily publicised by Kerrang! and Melody Maker magazines, though they lost support from the latter publication when it was merged with NME (who took a lukewarm view of the band) in late 2000

King Adora were sent to record their debut album at Sawmills Studios in Cornwall with producer John Cornfield in late 2000, away from record company interference. Pictures of the studio's previous clients (Muse, The Stone Roses, The Verve) on the studio walls provided inspiration during the sessions.

After working on further demos for their second album and leaking them on their official website, King Adora bounced back with a UK tour in October and November 2002, debuting new songs "Kamikaze" and "Maniac Love". Despite low attendances at some gigs, Browne commented that "we’d been away for a year with no singles and no press so you’ve got to expect a degree of that any way.

Lack of label support and changing tastes in the UK guitar music scene led King Adora to split in 2005.

Every one of their singles has its own Wikipedia page, but none of the band members.

changing tastes in the UK guitar music scene

Love that. It's definitely a self-authorship tell.

Crowley often makes an occasional 'supersub' appearances on BBC 6 Music and for a while hosted a weekly programme on Amazing Radio, a digital station dedicated to new and emerging music.

After retiring from basketball in 2018, Benson began painting. Painting was one of the hobbies he took on to fill his new found free time, but he didn't take himself seriously as a fine artist. It wasn't until July 2018 when that began to change. While out one night in Las Vegas, he found himself the victim of racially charged police brutality. The next day, badly shaken, he locked himself in his hotel room and didn't leave. That night, he ordered 3 huge canvases. It was the breaking point that crystallized the purpose of his paintings; he realized he was painting a positive reflection of his own life, one not bound by the biases or expectations of anyone, one that was bigger and brighter than any pair of handcuffs could contain. Rod questions: can we relieve minorities of this burden simply by adding some vibrancy to their identity? He'd like to think the answer is yes. To be dark does not necessitate a need to be represented as dangerous.[14]

He has his debut solo show entitled "Neon Black" in September 2018 and received critical acclaim for his efforts.

People who have obviously written part of someone else's wikipedia

The Milli Vanilli version of "Girl You Know It's True", recorded at Frank Farian's FAR studios in Rosbach, Germany in the spring of 1988, started with only a drum track and two female vocalists, Linda Rocco and Jodie Rocco, American twin sisters living in Germany and successful in the music industry. Frank asked the girls to listen to the Numarx version so they would know what to sing. The record was on a turntable in the studio and Frank played the vocal parts for the girls. There was only the drum track to follow, making the Rocco twins were the first vocals on the track.[citation needed][clarification needed]

I am really fascinated by how people get and stay in Wikipedia.

For example really unimportant baseball players can get in just for being the majors even for only 1 year, even if only 1% of baseball fans know who they are

Wikipedia is supposed to be organically crowd-sourced, but I remember a few years ago my company hired a 'consultant' to burnish our CEO's wikipedia entry, and to monitor it for anything that wasn't glowingly positive

Pages get removed for lacking notability all the time though.

I got the SexArt page changed to a mere redirect to Korn's page

Easy to get a page up, not always easy to keep up

exactly, the wikipedia monks are ferocious and seem to delight in removing things

Preston Sturges's son is very confident in himself, I'm guessing.

The duo performs as caricatures of themselves and consists of Jonathan Frank (lead vocals, guitar, and all other instruments) and Josh Deane (lead vocals, guitar, and all other instruments), and it's been said that it's never quite clear where reality ends and fiction begins. Their music, which Colorado Parent described as "reminiscent of the Beach Boys" is a unique blend of rock, pop, acoustic guitars, tight harmonies, and catchy melodies. Often compared to Pixar because of their content, quality, and presentation, FRANK & DEANE's various works (music, art, videos, shows, and more) are intended to be "enjoyed by a broad audience of every generation of kids, parents, and grandparents." They have devoted fans of all ages.

After selling out a final UK tour, they decided to part ways at the peak of their popularity under a shroud of mystery.
