No-one is lacking respect to Dennis Brown. How does covering up the truth respect him and bringing it into the open not do so? SqueakBox01:24, 2 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please follow your own advice and respect this great singer by not covering up the truth about this terrible plague. Your tacky censorship only serves yourself, it serves neither the truth or the memory of a great artist, SqueakBox21:34, 2 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I understand that it may be difficult to deal with the struggles of a great man, especially after his death. But if you have an opinion about the crown price of reggae, please post it on the talk tage. Do not delete what others have posted, it helps no one.Reggaedelgado22:28, 2 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think these issues will be settled until the references to John the Goat and his awful song are removed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by RIP DEB (talk • contribs)
Unless you can provide a valid editorial reason for the removal of this material, which you have not done in a year and a half of edit warring on this issue, then the material will remain in the article. Gamaliel (Angry Mastodon! Run!) 23:55, 21 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I realise that my resistance is completely futile. As I've said countless times before I find John the Goat's song extremely insulting to the memory of Dennis Brown. However, I don't expect any of the countless moderators of this page to understand why. It's to do with respecting the memory of a great artist who made a massively positive contribution through his sadly short life rather than promoting John the Goat's tedious album.
Wikipedia is not about honoring the memories of great men, it is about documenting history and culture in an accurate and neutral way. I'm sorry you feel the song is insulting, it may very well be, but that is simply not a valid reason to remove all mention of it and whitewash it out of the article. Instead of this pointless quest to whitewash the article, you would better serve Brown's memory by helping improve the article to make it one that better documents his accomplishments.

I think I understand your position. So if someone was to find some disrepectful songs about JFK and reference them on his Wikipedia page would that be "documenting history and culture in an accurate and neutral way" or would it just be offensive?
