"Musical career" - Section

Some of this article might be a matter of personal opinion, and not facts. Some of it may not be fact, unless references are cited?

- "Unfortunately an incident caused him and Daddy Yankee to end their friendship.but later on they got connected again.

I've changed the grammar and spacing on this, I'm only bringing it up, because wiki is supposed to be unbiased, and neutral in point of view. I think this first showed up in this edit "05:19, 1 April 2010 72.75.9.207". Just requesting references to see what is fact, and what is talk.--~Kukulcanessa~(talk)05:40, 27 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- as another note, I just realized this entire Article does not contain one single reference --~Kukulcanessa~(talk)05:43, 27 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Disputed

His date and place of birth seems to be different on different sources. According toApple (iTunes),he was born "February 25, 1980 in Dominican Republic." However, according tohis PR website,he was born in Boston, Massachusetts on March 17, 1981 (Original Spanish: "Nick Rivera Caminero mejor conocido como Nicky Jam nacido él 17 de marzo de 1981 en Boston" ). At first, I doubted that it was his actual PR website, until I saw hisverified Facebook pagelisting it. Does anyone know which one is correct? -Tony Tan⁹⁸·talk 02:11, 15 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This websiteseems to be supporting Apple's version: "February 25, 1980, in the Dominican Republic." -Tony Tan⁹⁸·talk 02:17, 15 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Tony Tan 98:,I went ahead and changed it to what Allmusic states since it's a reliable source while official websites and Facebook generally aren't.Erick(talk)02:58, 13 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Huh? Official websites and verified Facebook pages will always have official information (whether it's true or not) hence the "official" part. And AllMusic is NOT a reliable source; it's bios are always written based on info taken from the Internet. TakeJay Sean's AllMusic page, which is reporting a 1981 birth and has already been debunked lol.AyanP(talk)01:43, 7 February 2015 (UTC)Ayan[reply]

In his most recently published video he mentions Lawrence Massachusetts as his place of birth. More specifically 16 Green Street Lawrence Mass 01841Robvill86(talk)22:27, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Nicky Jam musical genres

Someone could removeNicky Jam's musical genres in the line from the paragraph to the article that I was editing hours ago while removing the references added several times by the Indian user, since when trying to correct the article came Cyphoidbomb (one of the administrators of English Wikipedia) reversed my edition and protected it if I never do vandalism, but since Cyphoidbomb doesn't care, I have decided to open the discussion page in the original article so that they come to revert the latest stable version.

@Xhubham mishra:This discussion appears to involve content that you submittedat least once.I urge you to participate in the discussion. If you choose not to, you will not have properly established consensus for the changes you've made.Cyphoidbomb(talk)21:52, 15 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Cyphoidbomb:I don't think he is going to participate in the discussion because of what I recently see in the edition history on this page he is still editing but correcting that, some junk references and repeated references, that's why I insist that you remove Nicky Jam's musical genres in the paragraph in the introduction of the article and put his nationality back, it is very uncomfortable.148.0.118.170(talk)17:26, 28 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Uncomfortable? Huh? I have notified Xhubham mishra on their talk page that they should participate in this discussion. If they don't, say, in a week (provided that they're editing regularly) then I'll restore the change you prefer.Cyphoidbomb(talk)18:02, 28 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I hope the situation has now been resolved. –Skywatcher68(talk)22:35, 26 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

He is also known for making romantic songs within the reggaeton genre.[1]-- I listen to his music and I would challenge this claim. Most reggaeton music is like this. Also, the ref you provided doesn't exactly support this statement. I suggest omitting altogether.

DoneI removed the sentence. I do think it is important to have information about his musical/lyrical style in the lead, but I will try to come up with something better.Basilisk4u(talk)00:53, 31 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Trump endorsement

I said Trump misgendered him "accidentally" because he corrected himself a minute later, which you can see on the video. I wouldn't insist on it but I think it's good to be clear. (Re: the next edit byDi_(they-them)removing the word "accidentally." )Yyyikes(talk)17:33, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
