The Pack, formerly known as the Wolfpack, is a rap group from [[Berkeley, California]]. The group consists of Lil Uno, Lil B, Young L, and Young $tunna. The Pack was discovered by the veteran rapper [[Too $hort]] in 2005 while listening to one of their songs in a car as he was being driven to a show. He quickly went on a Bay wide hunt to find the group and sign them to his Up All Nite/ Zomba/ Jive record label.

The Pack's hit song "Vans" is number 23 on the top 30 hip hop charts, played on 65 hip hop stations nationwide and on 35 pop stations nationwide. The song featured a chorus of "Got my Vans on, but they look like sneakers; Wearing coke white but my Vans are cleaner." which many thought was synthesized, but was in fact the unedited voice of a real high school student. Their video "Vans" has been aired on BET but MTV refused to show the video for advertisement reasons. However, [[MTV]] airs an edited version of the video, in which the word "Vans" is censored in throughout the song. MTV's decision created controversy, with many accusing the network of a double standard.[http://www.eastbayexpress.com/Issues/2006-09-06/music/close2thaedge.html]<blockquote>

Several commentators on [Clyde] Smith's site[http://www.prohiphop.com/] pointed to other rap songs with overtly commercial messages bordering on product placement, such as Run-DMC's "My Adidas," Nelly's "[[Air Force Ones]]," and Busta Rhymes, P. Diddy, and Pharrell's "Pass the Courvoisier." Many questioned MTV's censorship policy, noting that "[[My Adidas]]" and "Pass the Courvoisier" aired on the channel, while BET aired "[[Air Force Ones]]."

</blockquote>

A remix was made to the "Vans" song featuring Mistah F.A.B. and Too $hort. Their debut EP, entitled [[Skateboards 2 Scrapers]], released on [[December 19]], [[2006]].[http://www.myspace.com/wolfpackmusik] Their single [[Vans]] received the number 5 spot on [[Rolling Stone]] Top 100 songs of the year for 2006. Their second single ''I'm Shinin''' also can be seen on [[Yahoo]] Music.

*'''[[Skateboards 2 Scrapers]]''' (2006)

Dear Bhadani, thanks a ton for your warm words and calling me an asset to the project. The vote that I awaited the most was yours; I knew that it wd be an unqualified support from you but did not know if you would be around to vote for me. I even fleetingly considered e-mailing you abt my rfa as ur vote matters a lot to me, but decided against it as it is not in keeping with the spirit of Wikipedia. I'm very happy that mid-december is almost here, as it wd mean that we can look forward to working with you regularly. --[[User:Gurubrahma|Gurubrahma]] 14:58, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

Please see this for comments. The article [[Dose]] has to be reworded please.

Dear bhadani,

i saw ur gr8 work here. I am new here nd my work on Chhapra, Bihar is under stub. I wana contribute a lot here. Plz guide me and suggest how my work would be kept under serious and permanent sections.

== Dose-New talk page ==

Please see whether the correction shown in new talk page would be alright as some one else has come up with another suggestion?

Hola! --[[User:Dangerous-Boy|Dangerous-Boy]] 17:57, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

== Dose ==

Somebody has merged this with Dose. I feel it is not correct. Please think over and correct it.

--[[User:Dore chakravarty|Dore chakravarty]] 20:56, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

== Dosing ==

'''Dosing''' must be an article. This cannot be merged with '''dose'''. In fact dosing, a verb form for the word ''dose'', must be included in article '''dose'''. '''Dosing''' also has appeared in many other articles. We have to place a link in those articles. Please see to this. What the other person has done appears to me to be a total mistake.

== Dosing ==

Sent a note on talk page like this to CDN99.

----

Surprised! Merger with Article Dose does not go with the contents of talk page Dosing. Please read again the talk page on Dosing. The contents are very clear to represent the use of the word Dosing in Industries even to day. My vast experience for years in various countries also supports this idea of mine. Please therefore remove merger and confirm. Then I can make this an Article. You can rethink of what you have to do in the case of article Dose.

==Thanks==

Thanks for the compliment, Bhadani I was born in New York and a practicing Hindu. My parents are from Mangalore. When I went to India, I assumed that many people knew more than me but I was suprised many Hindus in America have a far greater knowledge of Hinduism then their brethern in India.

You have also made a lot of contributions as well. They are excellent.

[[User:Raj2004|Raj2004]] 18:30, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

Yes, Bhadani I guess we are all doing it in our own way.Excellent articles. I liked the Sri Padmanabhaswamy temple and Guruvayoor temple articles.

== Dosing ==

What do you suggest now please on the reply reproduced below. I am unable to decide what to do next.

''Until there is an article for dosing, there should be a redirect to dose for the articles that link to dosing; just like trade-trading, etc. Words that differ in their suffix don't usually warrant separated articles, especially when they are disambiguation pages.--CDN99 18:17, 17 December 2005 (UTC)''

Hi Bhadani, best wishes for a merry christmas, happy new year and prosperous pongal. Madhuri Guin has been userfied by the closing admin - he was initially under the impression that there was no consensus as to if it should be deleted or userfied; I pointed out that there was clear enough consensus that the article should not remain in the main namespace - he came round to my view and has userfied it.

Dear Bhadani,

Merry Christmas to you and your family, I just returned from spending Christmas with some of my very old friends and their family and just saw you message. I also wish you and your family all the best for the New Year.

I have tried to stay away from Wikipedia since it has been more of a frustration for myself. However I do pop in every now and then to see what is happening. I saw that you fixed up the Gurkha article and becuase of your editing, it looks so much better. Then I saw someone else come in and simply edit what they thought is appropriate which is quite disappointing.

Thank you Bhadani for your Season's Greetings and for helping me with the Gurkha Article.

Sincerely,

Dr. S. Chauhan

Dear Bhadaniji, hope you remember me, I received your kind message on my talkpage a long time ago -- forgive the delay, I really had nothing to say at that time except "Nanri", but I should have done that promptly. I have been planning to send you a message for New Years' day, but something funny came up: do you realise that a certain "exceptional newcomer" has been in WP for one year MORE than you?? -- my ''vikat buddhi'' is late to say thank you but prompt in all this kind of thing. In this connection, alas, ''aapke is cheley ki umar to din-ba-din fizool hi tamaam ho rahi hai...'' -- best regards, and let us KIT, [[User:ImpuMozhi|ImpuMozhi]] 21:42, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

Hi, I see you're working on this. Can you find some reputable sources for it? I've seen figures of 300-3,000 and 100,000-200,000 for the respective army sizes so, unless sourced, I feel it preferable that whatever numbers are used be reported as estimates.

==Dear Bhadani==

I took your advice about staying with Wikipedia since i now see that I shouldn't give up on something that could actually turn out for the best and help others.

I am really on a tight schedule since I am stuck with a bunch of things as well as getting the next relief mission set up for the Himalyan foothills in India. I should be with the next medical relief program in Uttaranchal India by May 2006, so I am busy in preparing and organising.

I will try and slip stuff into the Gurkha article when I can. I recently voted on a http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment/Dbachmann_%282%29#Other_users_who_endorse_this_summary

Its very ugly, but I have been following it for a while and after seeing "The Resonse", I just couldn't keep silent.

Hope all is well with you and take care. And thank you again for your encouragement.

It is recommended that you use the [[Wikipedia:Show preview|preview]] button before you save; this helps you find any errors you have made, and prevents clogging up [[Special:Recentchanges|recent changes]] and the [[Wikipedia:page history|page history]].[[Image:Weather rain.png]]'''[[User:SoothingR|<span style="color:#AAAAAA;">Soothing</span>]][[User talk:SoothingR|<span style="color:#9AB9EB;">''R''</span>]]''' 17:03, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

My response - copied and pasted from my reply on the talk page of: [[User:SoothingR|User:SoothingR]]:

'''QUOTE'''<br>

Yes thanks for your suggestion - I shall do that for sure. And, I also convey my New Year greetings to you. --[[User:Bhadani|Bhadani]] 17:08, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

:Dear Tim please see my above comments. Yesterday I thought over the matter as regards the issues raised by you, and analyzed my edits. I found that I have been generally using preview before saving. I understand that the concept of preview is applicable edit-wise, and each edit should be preferably previewed. Thus, there may be repeated edits by the same user of the same page, which may appear to create "clutter" in the history – but actually it is indicative of the activities on that particular page as also edits to that particular page by that particular user. In my opinion, the edits are not quantifiable: I mean to say that no one should expect that a user shall do edit to a particular page only once in a day or so on: thus if one is making massive additions to contents, and endeavoring to improve the contents, he/she will have to repeatedly do edits, of course use of preview is implied.

:I may add that at times I have created pages with several paragraphs in one go [[Sri Padmanabhaswamy temple]] and [[Indian rope trick]] – but it is not always possible. In case, you find examples of creating a page of several paragraphs by other fellow editors, please inform me: I would surely like to inter-act with him/her to hone my editing skills.

:As regards your point about cluttering the recent changes by repeated edits, I think that activities by editors, unless they are known vandals, should not be termed as “clutter” as activities on the recent changes are indicative of aggregate edits, and more edits add more value to “the sum total of human knowledge” for which we are striving. I may give an example: 100 edits by a single user to a single page, or 100 edits by 100 different users to the same page, have the same "net effect" of "clutter" on the page's history and the recent changes. The environment here is dynamic - not like a printed page, and one has to get used to this environment - faster the better.

:Having clarified my position, I appreciate the spirit of your suggestion, and express my thanks [[Image:WikiThanks.png]] to you. I also assure you that I shall surely continue to use preview. Regards. --[[User:Bhadani|Bhadani]] 14:11, 2 January 2006 (UTC)<br>

::Yes, I've read both your and Ancheta Wis' comments on my talkpage. Thanks for the explanation. It's always nice to hear things from another perspective, that can free your mind. I will stop using Template:preview for all users that have more than 4 edits in a row, I will however look at the nature of these edits. If the first edit comes up with a broken template, and the other 4 fixes were intended to fix that, I think Template:preview will still serve its job.
