Talk:Iranian hip hop

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Why does the first paragraph discuss rap in general? This is unneccesary and irrelevant for the introductory paragraph. If there are no objections, I am going to remove all the superfluous information and format the intro paragraph to look similar to that of the Arabic hip hop page.

[edit] Removal of external links and list of notable artists

Although I don't claim to have much knowledge about Iranian hip hop, I have taken the liberty to change the article quite a bit. This will never become a decent article as long as it is just a long list of "notable" Iranian rappers. For months now, the bulk of edits to the article are the addition or removal of names from that list and no effort whatsoever has been driven towards an encyclopedic treatment of the subject. So I've removed the external links section (see WP:EL for guidelines on the subject), dug up one reference (not that good but at least it's a positive example), cleaned up the intro and removed the list of notable artists. I think it would also do the article a lot of good if people started separating rap in Iran from rap in the Iranian diaspora. Pascal.Tesson 02:02, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

I made some improvements. But the internal links need to be made and replace the external ones. I'll get to it whenever I can. I have a ton of other articles to tend to.--Zereshk 00:43, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
