Note[edit]

This is not a message board. To post message and phone numbers in the hope that the subject of the article will call you back is both deluded and innapropriate.

Post Tupac death work with the mother of Christopher Wallace[edit]

Someone more informed on the subject than I should add something to this article about her work and appearances with the mother of the Notorious B.I.G. at the various award shows and what not. If i'm not mistaken the two have gotten together several times to disuade more acts of violence. I think it would be a good addition to the article, unfortunately, i'm in no position to write it.

Fair use rationale for Image:Afeni.jpg[edit]

Image:Afeni.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 15:56, 31 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Birthdate[edit]

This article as it currently stands gives Shakur's birthdate as 16 May 1947. However, other sources available on the Internet give her birthdate as 10 Jan 1947, e.g. C. Gerald Fraser, Review of Jasmine Guy's Afeni Shakur: Evolution of a Revolutionary, in Black Issues Book Review 2004, available at [1]; that article criticizes the Guy book for omitting that information. Is there any authoritative source for the birthdate one way or another? KASchmidt (talk) 20:32, 10 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I would also like to point out that Ancestry of Tupac Shakur, a reference cited on the main page, also gives the January birthdate. KASchmidt (talk) 20:35, 10 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This article now gives a birthday of January 22nd. Is there any consensus? -KaJunl (talk) 19:48, 11 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Black Panther[edit]

This is mentioned in the intro paragraph with no explanation in the article itself. Can this be expanded upon? -KaJunl (talk) 19:47, 11 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Making changes to the citations and sources[edit]

Hi Cquaye2. Welcome to Wikipedia. Have you looked over the information on your talk page?

Thefamouspeople.com is not a reliable source, and other sources look poor or unreliable. I'll review them in more detail as soon as I have time.

Please work in small edits with clear edit summaries. --Ronz (talk) 23:50, 4 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
