Talk:Ray Stevens

1233:"On May 13, 2010 Stevens issued new music on the various social network sites such as You Tube. The music video titled Come to the USA is about illegal immigration and the decades long passive attitude from the Federal Government with regards to the epidemic. The song comes from Stevens' We The People CD, released on April 1, 2010. It's purely coincidental that by the end of April the state of Arizona would be embroiled in an illegal immigration debate. The debate was ignited when that state's Governor, Jan Brewer, signed into law an illegal immigration bill, Arizona SB1070. Following this action, protests and boycotts from several liberal leaning communities and groups against Arizona became elevated nationally. Such national elevation of boycotts and protests is a typical smear tactic used by any opposing group. The goal of this kind of smear campaign when referring to the illegal immigration law, specifically, is to downplay favorable responses and in the process play up any negative reaction and as a result spin doctors work to make a minority point of view appear to be the majority point of view through repetition of negative sound bites." 323: 302: 333: 234: 213: 442: 717: 699: 181: 1310:
and in some cases angers those, such as liberal bloggers, who'd rather marginalize the music videos and describe the opinions expressed in the songs as being representative of a fringe element of society and not representative of the mainstream. Due to the popularity of his on-line music videos it isn't uncommon to see Stevens as the recipient of character defamation unleashed by opposing political factions."

Even though Stevens' series of music video releases are hitting with those who frequent social network sites it doesn't mean that there aren't those who are in opposition of his music and the impact that the videos are having. The very idea that Stevens is striking a chord and having an impact annoys

I agree. I really don't like all the detail about the number of YouTube views either. Geez. Is there nothing more newsworthy to put in this article? (Answer: No. IMHO.) I hope someone who has more patience that I do will cut some of that info out. I just spent more time than I want to correcting the

just finished rewriting the artcle. i am still unhappy about the content, though. still sounds like it was written by his agent, or PR - guy. for someone who has changed labels so frequently, the article doesn't go on to explain why, but rather focuses on rather obscure top 10 -20 -30 -40 positions

This entire page feels like a diary from Ray Stevens' publicist. I've never seen so many dozens and dozens of paragraphs documenting such trivial insignificance in an entertainer's Knowledge (XXG) page. Such as: "On May 5, Stevens called the Lars Larson show on radio station KXL to discuss current
1257:
I am glad someone else had mentioned that section. It should be removed entirely, as it is clearly nothing close to neutral. It claims some kind of magical knowledge of which side of the Arizona-immigration-law debate constitutes a majority/minority opinion. While we're at it, there needs to be a

If you read my move request, you would see that I think "Ray Stevens" should be a disambiguation page, meaning it would have links to both this Stevens and the wrestler(just like others articles where several people have the same name). Stevens wrestled most of his career in the '50s and '60s and
1081:
I think you need to prove that the wrestler is more famous -- I'm assuming that this move request is so that said wrestler can get the unparenthetical article. Although Google is by no means the final arbiter of notability, I think it salient that when Googling "Ray Stevens", I did not find any
1130:
The information about Ray Stevens' song "Unwind" being a minor hit is incorrect. It was a #3 hit in either 1968 or 1969 from the Barnaby label album "Even Stevens." Also, his hit song "Night Games" was not on the same album as the "Shriner's Convention" hit song.
1044:, for now at least. Principle of least surprise -- look at the hundreds of links to the page in what links here. How many are for the musician and how many for the wrestler? The status quo with a note at the top of this article linking to the wrestler is just fine. 1086:
with the exception of the Knowledge (XXG) article. Given the high prevalence of sites referring to the singer, one can safely assume (in my opinion) that the vast majority of people coming to WP looking for Ray Stevens are looking for the singer, not the wrestler.

in different sales charts. i'd like to see a more straightforward writing style - perhaps someone more familiar with the subject might help out? also, i agree that his fairly recent fame in the right-wing community needs to be covered in more detail.
1195: 1011:– Ray Stevens should be a disambiguation page since there is was a wrestler(he died 10 years ago) who was just as famous(if not more) than the musician. The wrestler also has more of a claim to the name because his full name is Carl Raymond Stevens. 1060:, Just to nit pick, the musician has over a hundred links, but not "hundreds", while the wrestler has a non-trivial number of links also. And if you really wanted least surprise, a disambiguation page would best serve people looking for either. — 1788:
Hi, I noticed the BLP warning tags but did not see any potentially libelous or even controversial content, so I corrected it by adding some content that suggests Ray Stevens may be involved in illegal activity of a carnal nature.

Yes, and I know next to nothing about Stevens either, but you have made a grand start in trying to turn this article around. It does need more work, as you point out, but every journey starts with one simple step. Well done -

I know almost nothing about the subject, but have taken a run at cleaning up the tone and content, which, at times, was more suitable for a fan-site than for an encyclopedia article. I have tried to bring this more in line with
1469:
Yes, good point likewise. The one good thing is that Stevens is only an entertainer, not a politician, so POV-pushing is less of a red flag. But maybe others watching the page (if any) could weigh in here for some discussion.

I changed it to 18, based on “24Jan 1939”, and “first recorded for Prep Records in 1957” matching (my) Joel Whitburn BBTop40. He might’ve signed at 16 (in 1955) (and first recorded in 1957), or might’ve been born in 1941.
