All the entries on Videograf Production are valid and true. Please read all articles in Videograf Poductions reference section from the New York Times. In addition all the graffiti artists mention in the article are valid and real artists. Thus this article on Videograf Productions is base on factual information on New York City graffiti history. Carl Weston the co-founder of Videograf Production has also been mention in other major media outlet about his documentation of Graffiti Culture. This article is an important document in researching New York City graffiti movement. Please do not removed. Thank you.

--Gfacekilla1966 (talk) 19:32, 14 May 2012 (UTC)From 1989 to 1995 Videograf was the equivalent to CNN for graffiti writers in the u.s.a at that time.Reply

I do not have exact date's but it was around the summer 1994, with the exception of the New York Times every New York City news paper and all the local of the local television networks covered this event. The new paper coverage was mostly front page and page two and three type coverage. This was one of the lead stories on all the local television news that evening.

Unfortunately I don't believe that any of these papers has archives online but I may be wrong.

There is a reason the New York Times has repeatedly called on Carl Weston and Videograf Productions to comment on thing related to graffiti.

Also, the year 2000 arrest was about rights of a free press the ACLU's Norman Segel took the case.

Videograf Productions also represented the first time that graffiti/ hip hop culture was documented by people from within the culture as opposed to outsiders.

Video confrontation with Joseph "Joe Blow" Rivera of The Bronx Vandal Squad http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jUURk9PQKwg The next day after this confrontation members of the new york police /Vandal Squad executed another search warrant.

--Gfacekilla1966 (talk) 19:35, 14 May 2012 (UTC) *the comment "expect a ton of Meatpuppets on this one" by. Ridernyc seems to me to be a violation of the rules here?.. There is no need for insults here!Reply

This brand new page within hours of being created has been edited by two single purpose accounts, one of them newly created. The comment is more then justified. I recommend keeping your comments in the AFD debate and not here. Ridernyc (talk) 19:41, 14 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

--Gfacekilla1966 (talk) 20:04, 14 May 2012 (UTC)The Source Magazine had a small mention on Videograf around 92/93. Also XXL Magazine had a right up on Videograf Productions around 99/2000 --Gfacekilla1966 (talk) 20:06, 14 May 2012 (UTC)The XXL article was called "GRAFF DADDY". I wil try to get the published dates on these interviews.Reply

--Gfacekilla1966 (talk) 20:51, 14 May 2012 (UTC)The Fox Reporters interview was about Videograf production documenting graffiti and selling the videos for a profit. None of the arrest or confrontations with law enforcement had happened yet.Reply

I would like to say that I object to the proposed deletion of this page--Gfacekilla1966 (talk) 21:35, 16 May 2012 (UTC)Reply
