Talk:If (Janet Jackson song)

Problem with Video section

It looks like it was written by a person promoting it rather than NPOV. It needs to be fixed. 70.225.86.155 03:12, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

I have re-written it to fit into Wiki's NPOV. Reqluce (talk) 15:34, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

China / Japan

While not a big deal to me personally, putting Japan as the locale is plainly misinformation and ignorance. Which means consequences can be brought against you. The only legitimate reason it could be labeled as "Japan" is if the people responsible for the setting themselves made a mistake and operated out of ignorance, meaning to create some sort of vague fantasy conglomerate Asia, pretend it's "Japan" and have them speak Chinese. Persons in the entertainment industry are often flighty, airheaded, and bulldozing, so I'd believe it. Without this there is no justification.

It reflects on your maturity and your competency to insist otherwise and to remain in such ignorance when a simple Google search would identify the term you are unfamiliar with and a consideration of and consultation with individuals familiar with the sounds of Chinese or Japanese language would clear the matter up and indeed, is the appropriate thing to do. How can a person who doesn't even know what Japanese sounds like dare to edit a wiki about the matter? How can a person obsessed with Japan bear remaining ignorant about its most basic qualities? If you on the offchance suffer from brain damage and are unable to distinguish foreign languages then doubly so it must be asked, just why are you here writing for wikis? Are you sir even aware that Japan is a country? Persons ignorant and yet unable to use even Google are hardly in a position to be going around sternly declaring, oh, for example, "There is no Sinitic" - LMFAO!! Perhaps you did Google and simply failed to understand what you saw?

If it burns your emo gall to have it not be "Japan", whatever that word means to you, then we'll do "Asia", a term which I shall hope you understand the meaning of and which I'm sure no one would find it easy to disagree with. Heaven's knight (talk) 18:40, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

They speak Chinese in video. Individual is insisting on Japan yet does not discuss or provide proof. Bullheaded insistence despite contrary evidence and easy reasonable steps to confirm, suggesting bias. Heaven's knight (talk) 08:04, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

Too much information

This article, like many other articles about Janet, is too big, with a lot of unnecessary and/or unedited information. Basically, it's a copy and past article. There's too much 'quote boxes', which are very unnecessary, since the information is repetitive and has already on the article. The user is putting too many information and it's not reducing articles about Janet. FanofPopMusic (talk) 04:58, 22 February 2014 (UTC)
