[edit]Hokay, so. Heavens are also used to refer to freeway signs, at least in l.a. while this qualifies as o.r. and as such will not be added, im looking for the proper references. the first tagging is credited to bobby beck in '59, from philadelphia. the first king is generally agreed to be philadelphia's cornbread, who had obtained his crown before the end of the sixties. those two facts are detailed in stephen powers' book "the art of getting over: graffiti at the millenium". Anyone want to help me reference these? Gilgamesh Rex 12:16, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
- well no one seems to care, so i added them in. a few days ago. Gilgamesh Rex 21:16, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
- Whatever, man. Good luck finding “references” for shit like graff terminology… Your best bet might be, like, cops’ sites? But I’d consider those, by definition, not reliable, and anything else on the Web spelling things out that explicitly is gonna be toy shit… But I came here to see if anybody else had bristled at the listed definition of heavens. Yeah; I’ve never heard that used to refer to anything but freeway signs. A rooftop is a “rooftop,” no matter how high up… And will anybody stand up and say they’ve actually heard a writer use the term giraffiti? I’m not even talking about the b.s. Wikipedia approved-by-the-Man criteria for inclusion, just, anybody who’s actually a writer, other than the person who included it; are they gonna say, “Yeah, I’ve heard people say that.” I don’t doubt it has currency, but not among graffiti writers… It sound like some shit folks who have Shepard Fairy and Banksy's coffeetable books would say. —Wiki Wikardo 21:30, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

Inclusion of Spray Paint Brands
[edit]These brands are not "graffiti terminology", they're simply part of the culture. I don't see them as appropriate to include, and certainly not anything beyond Rustoleum and Krylon. If there absolutely must be an entry for Montana then it should be one under which both companies are briefly mentioned, but even that seems excessive. We don't have other brands like Molotow or Krink listed, and Krink actually has its own Wikipedia page, unlike either of the two Montanas. In fact, Rustoleum isn't even listed, only its shorthand/nickname, "Rusto"... Anyone with a background in this subject matter will recognize how ridiculous that is.
Personally, I'd say get rid of every brand entry entirely, and just leave the entry for "Rusto", as it's possible that abbreviation might confuse some outsiders. If people want to find a list of companies catering to writers they can and should look somewhere other than a "glossary" of graffiti terminology.
All I wanted to do was fix one entry, but the more entries I read the more I find in need of repair. It's to the point where I had to make myself stop reading entries just to tear myself away from the source editor. I can fix this, but it's too much of an OCPD headache for me to look past entries that don't belong while I try to fix adjacent ones. I'm not deleting entries without first discussing it here though. Also, I'm not going to put references in these entries, but if need be I can defend my argument here with references. I do know what I'm talking about, and my experience with the relevant fields and disciplines goes back nearly a decade and a half.
Should change this page to protected status just to keep the gradeschool toys from "contributing" to it...

- You should totally contribute to the article. Ideally, only edit stuff that you can source, real Wikipedia style. I think here, the threshold is low, any trafficked source in graffiti culture should do.
- For the brands, I agree, Rusto is good. Maybe the Montana entries could be combined? It seems, as early art brands and the possible confusion of the names, it may be worth a mention. Maybe one entry discussing both brands with a little history? That'd be super helpful. Knulclunk (talk) 03:09, 14 March 2019 (UTC)
Neutrality Tag
[edit]The article has a Neutrality Tag, but no discussion. Does anyone know why it was tagged for neutrality?--Knulclunk (talk) 02:08, 14 March 2019 (UTC)

Term "painters touch"
[edit]This wiki as the term painters touch and goes on to define it as a prefered brand which is widely available. However Im not sure if that is a universal term (world wide) that brand Rust-Oleum seems to be an American brand. this brand doesnt seem popular in Europe or other countries. Perhaps some claficiation based on region where this term is used is advised for the wiki. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.112.177.218 (talk) 09:23, 24 November 2021 (UTC)
