Add caption text!

  • ... that the word twerking was formed by the contraction of "twist" and "jerk"?

Currently, there are two "keep" votes. Youtube is still used as inline citation, but it is unreliable, as statistics may change. Speaking of statistics, either they must be removed, or non-primary sources must be found to determine statistics. Even when it passes 1,500-character minimum, issues about Youtube still may arise. --George Ho (talk) 06:51, 4 January 2013 (UTC) Removed "?"
Although I corrected one information, I found out more that websites that consist of copyrighted lyrics are cited, and rap quotes, cited by copyvio links, do not make this topic generally notable. --George Ho (talk) 06:57, 4 January 2013 (UTC)
  • AfD has closed as "keep"; full review now needed. BlueMoonset (talk) 01:06, 9 January 2013 (UTC)
I don't know. Even after changes and unsuccessful AFD, Youtube is still used, as well as Twitter. Frugivore Magazine is no longer considered reliable, yet is used still. --George Ho (talk) 19:27, 10 January 2013 (UTC)
I think there are other text issues too. In particular, there is some unnecessary quoting, and these quotes are given without context. Also, the criticism section begins "Many", but only references a campus newspaper whose article is currently tagged as a possible non-notable. Moswento talky 08:58, 11 January 2013 (UTC)
  • Remove those mounds of quotes and the article is too short. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 12:41, 20 January 2013 (UTC)
