Talk:Melvin Van Peebles/Archive 1

Madlib project?

i took off the copy edit mark; also i took out a segment saying that Madlib had a project going with him. I couldnt find any sources supporting that claim. if someone has presentable sources for that claim, i will gladly move for a revert. cheers, --zachjones4 17:24, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

This:http://www.emusic.com/album/10898/10898723.html should prove it (Talrinys 21:44, 12 March 2006 (UTC))

Playwright

Melvin Van Peebles also has several notable plays and broke ground there as well with "Ain't supposed to die" which is currently revived off-brodway.

He has also released numerous music albums.

Expansion

Melvin Van Peebles has done so much, and this article doesn't really reflect that. It definitely needs some more info on his life and career. (Sugar Bear 18:14, 4 June 2007 (UTC))

"Van"

Could anyone contribute some biographical information? Aside from no mention of any partners, spouses, or children besides Mario, I think the uninformed reader might want to know about his adoption of "Van Peebles" as his surname. Ipsenaut (talk) 16:56, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

Agreed! But, where to find such info? Luminifer (talk) 04:21, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

Heads up for External Links

I've noticed some wikipedia fanatics going around deleting external links that aren't 'official' - interviews and such. They say that if they're really useful, they should be included in a ref tag instead. So, if anyone has any time to do that, just pull those external links into the appropriate ref tags. :) Luminifer (talk) 17:20, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
