[edit] WP:BLP violation

Removed reference to crack addiction and "grade A medical Cheeba" as it was not suitable for an encyclopedic entry. If you can cite a source for this, feel free to return it to the article. SalemMacGourley 15:23, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Plagarism

That article was taken from SoJones' LRG information page. I'm a hip hop clothing info site and I posted my writing in the thought I would get credits. If no credits, just take my writing down. I wanted to see my writing published and credited... not taken and used for a site that won't even link back to my own....... WRITTEN BY RODRICK RAINEY. Please respond.

Reference to website containing bio's is actually a link to a retailer selling their and other products.Newland61 00:16, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

Yes to both. I've removed the material by reverting back to 04:14, March 14, 2007. ·:·Will Beback ·:· 01:00, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Lrg logo.jpg

Image:Lrg logo.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 04:41, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Writing taken from SoJones.com but no credits

There is information here taken from SojOnes.com... why are credits not given? I wrote it myself so I would know.

It's been addressed in the plagarism entry above. The article has since been re-written by Will Beback. 24.143.155.185 reverted it back, but it's since been returned to Will Beback's version. Dubkiller 10:25, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] It's a good thing this article didn't get deleted!

Research into the company has shown it's a significant player on the streetwear scene, and is also heavily involved in the promotion of underground hip-hop. I've only really scratched the surface with this article, but will be adding much more to it as time goes on. Sidatio 21:10, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
