MBAILEY004,

This is a great list of options. I think creating your own page on video vixens is a better idea than trying to develop the hip-hop models page. Number one and number three are really broad, and for this assignment it's better to pick something that's really focused. As dancehall/reggae are related but not exactly hip-hop, I'm going to steer you away from that topic. And I think some of your classmates may have found pages on women and rap--you might want to check with them on Facebook. I'm definitely leaning towards the video vixen page as you will find many readings to back up the information that you offer. JustJess PhD (talk) 12:31, 15 February 2015 (UTC)JustJess PhD

Yein-- I, for one, am really glad that you're doing an article specific to video vixens. I feel like the hip-hop models is too broad, and doesn't delve deep into why video vixens became "necessary" to hip hop music videos. Could you perhaps mention specific video vixens? I'm sure they're all over Instagram. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yblue782 (talk • contribs) 20:57, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

• I deleted Video Vixen. Whether it merits a page at Wikipedia I have no idea, but as created, it could not remain in article space.--Bbb23 (talk) 23:05, 22 February 2015 (UTC)

It shouldn't have been in mainspace, but there's nothing wrong with keeping it in a sandbox. I restored the content to your sandbox. Please don't move incomplete articles into mainspace like that again though. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 21:40, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Vacation9. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions —the one you made with this edit to Hip hop model— because it didn’t appear constructive to me. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Vacation9 02:53, 8 May 2015 (UTC)
