Talk:Platinum Pied Pipers

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I wrote this article. i would like to know what exactly needs to be cleaned up so that I can do it myself. Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Majik43 (talk • contribs)

i found this online, which differs from their name having nothing to do with the pied piper ...

But shouldn’t a production duo aiming to rub shoulders with The Neptunes be producing for Snoop or Usher, rather than unknown vocalists like soul singer Georgia or rapper MC Invincible? “They ain’t known yet,” retorts Waajeed. “But that’s what a pied piper does, he leads the masses to the platinum artists of the future.” “We wanted fresh blood,” expands Saadiq. “It was easy for us to get Jay Dee [ex-Slum Village, who raps on three tracks], but we wanted fresh people and fresh ideas. The people we’ve got on there are on some cutting-edge shit.” “These are the people that everybody will be listening to in years to come,” Waajeed continues. “I can say that wholeheartedly.”

i only mention it because its a little silly and/or arrogant to say that anyone calling themselves any sort of 'pied piper' has nothing to do with the legend, and it made me pause because i knew i'd heard them reference it somewhere ... peace

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Platinum-pied-pipers.jpg

Image:Platinum-pied-pipers.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.
