[edit] External links

I removed sections wholly composed of external links that had been added by 81.106.146.155 wikipedia is not a links database etc etc --Sleepytom 23:45, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

I added back in the links to Regional VJ meetings. Please discuss here before removing them, I'm interested to know why (whoever removed them) thinks they are not appropriate. Momothemonster 01:56, 21 July 2006 (UTC)momo_the_monster

Please do not add links unless discussed here. Thanks. Lewispb 22:24, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

Added referenced quotes at start of page with definitions of VJing. Also added VJ Hardware section with some history of VJ related hardware and some relevant links - please don't delete these as they are not spam - i know that wikipedia is not a link database etc etc Sleepytom 20:06, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

Added list of notable VJs with links to wikipedia pages if they have them (err is it better to add dead links for everyone in the intrests of fairness or should it be left as is for people to update if the add pages about these people?) also added references section 81.179.124.243 09:08, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

Removed spam links to shops selling DVD content

removed spam external links posted in the notable VJs section Sleepytom 20:10, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

I don't believe the tag on the article which says "The introduction to this article provides insufficient context for those unfamiliar with the subject matter." is required. The opening is perfectly understandable. Falcolombardi87 18:58, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] notable VJs

(please sign your comments or it makes the discussion hard to follow)

I don't think the "top 20" notable VJs is appropriate. It was done in a London magazine and do not reflect the reality that is why I removed it. There a lot of notable VJs not mentioned here, this is not a British review!

i disagree with the above statement - DJ magazine is an internationaly avaiable magasine which is widely read. whilst it is debatable if the VJs listed in their top 20 are the "best" they are internationaly regarded VJs and as such are a good start for a list of notable VJs. other similar sections of the wikipedia contain lists of notable practitioners so i feel it is appropriate for the VJ section to also contain such a section. i'm not going to reinsert it yet as i feel we should have more consensus on this but imho a notable VJs section is a usefull addition to the VJ entry.

I too agree with SleepyTom that it should be included.

Although I disagree with the results and how they were obtained it is the nearest thing we have to decent list. To remove the list and have nothing to put in its place seem less correct. Does the person that removed the section have a better list. Rovastar

Thank you for not putting back this notable VJ list. I agree that DJ magazine is international magazine, but the poeple who voted for the artists were english, and actually, the guy who was doing this survey (VJ Anyone) finally found himself in this list....wonder why... There is a VJ book that is coming out from D Fuse this fall that is a more open to what happens around the world. Maybe you should make a list out of artist invited in internationaly known Electronic arts Festival, like Ars Electronica, MUTEK, Cimatics,
