I was reading the article on jerkin and saw that phrase used more than once and it really bugs me that I cant change it...thats seriously like saying "I dance the ballet" just change it to "People who Jerk" the article title has already declared what your talking about so phrasing that way makes more sense and doesn't sound nearly as awkward as "People who dance the Jerk" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.124.166.125 (talk) 21:40, 11 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Seriously? Does this need to be written in the article? Can you show me a pair of shoes that does not meet either of these criteria? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.54.101.19 (talk) 03:57, 10 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This page is not for discussion of the best jerkin' crew or a place to talk about your favorite artists. This is a page for discussing how to make this article better. Any additions that do not constructively contribute to that discussion will be deleted. Do not add crews unless you have referenced sources that are in line with WP:RELIABLE. This means a published reliable source. Not the artist's webpage or MySpace page, or Facebook article. Not YouTube. But a published reliable source. See the article for what we mean. Thank you for your help. --Manway (talk) 07:28, 30 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Effectively, that section of the article is a see also section. There is no reason for an act to be listed there if they are not notable enough to have a Wikipedia article. Acts without an article may still be mentioned in the text of the article (not the list), provided there is a source to back up the addition. —C.Fred (talk) 16:58, 31 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. And the least they could do is format it correctly. --Manway (talk) 17:02, 31 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The grammar on this article is horrendous. Blsupr (talk) 00:57, 8 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Rewrote quite a bit - better? --Manway (talk) 01:30, 8 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The most famous crew that should be added is The Ranger$ of California.--W4rcl0ud (talk) 18:51, 25 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I added UCLA Jerk Kings. Let's be honest they help start and propel the movement of jerking and the fact that some of the members were white allowed a more diverse audience into the movement. The UCLA Jerk Kingz also have one of the highest views in a jerk video. Also, I don't think Jinc Ent. is that popular. In fact, Diamond Set is more popular then them. --don813 (talk) 12:51, 25 October 2009 (PT)

The most famous crew that should be added from each state is Smash Bros Az from Az and The Ranger$ from California. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fdgd5 (talk • contribs)

Got a source for Smash Bros Az? —C.Fred (talk) 02:29, 12 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

What about them? —C.Fred (talk) 00:54, 15 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You guys should add $MB: $uper Mario Bro$ they are the most famous jerk crew in CT you could talk about how jerkin' has spread so far all the way across the country and how it is working on getting to the rest of the world. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Abex97 (talk • contribs) 05:13, 25 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Abex, do you have a reliable source on those crews? Adding is allowed if you can source it in agreement with WP:RELIABLE. Remember, Wikis or YouTube type sites are not reliable sources. --Manway (talk) 05:18, 25 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

At the moment i dont it but i did just see them in concert and so i will be looking them up —Preceding unsigned comment added by Abex97 (talk • contribs) 13:28, 25 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Also Rugrat$ should be added, the may not be the BEST of the BEST in california but they are very well known all around the nation. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.67.197.19 (talk • contribs) 08:00, 7 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

What sources have written about them? Unless they've gotten coverage in newspapers or magazines, they can't be added to the article. The crew's YouTube page is not enough coverage to add them; it has to be a news story about them by a legitimate news agency. —C.Fred (talk) 14:47, 7 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

everybody knows the rangers of course but theres alot more jerkin crews that are good like them like Marvel Inc and Crooks, Team Dummy and Dummy Ent and more, but what do you mean they have to get coverage in newpapers or magazines to be in the article? the rangers and maybe a few more are the only ones to make it up there but they haven't hit mainstream yet, those other crews I mentioned should be in the article because alot of people that jerk know them and they get thousands of views on youtube. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.173.31.112 (talk) 03:39, 25 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I will repeat the comment immediately above you by CFred: "What sources have written about them? Unless they've gotten coverage in newspapers or magazines, they can't be added to the article. The crew's YouTube page is not enough coverage to add them; it has to be a news story about them by a legitimate news agency." Show us the coverage in a WP:RELIABLE source and we'll add your crew. --Manway (talk) 03:45, 25 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Im sorry but thats ridiculous if you guys actually jerk i bet you would already know them, the article is sad it's still saying jerkin is that new boyz "your a jerk" crap with the reject and all when jerkin evolved into something more better and interesting to do, It's all about footwork and pindropin and adding other dances in your moves and being creative and the article doesn't mention one thing about that. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.173.31.112 (talk) 04:43, 26 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry you think that's sad. That's the way Wikipedia is set up. Everything posted must be referenced in a reliable source. If you wish to change this policy, please bring it up to an administrator who can point you in the right direction. I'm just a user. --Manway (talk) 04:54, 26 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

and k-boyz from western australia.(Ortinel (talk) 05:12, 17 March 2012 (UTC))[reply]

for this section i think for all the groups that won the first NJA Poster in 2010 should be recognized in a part of this section for recognized jerkin groups such as ThemGraVatron$ent also known as GV$ we are the group that won Over all the jerking crews in OHIO we are also the owning group inspired by Caleon's LevelInc we made a MidWest LevelInc we are battleing to keep the movement running in not only cleveland where we are from but also in all of Ohio we have hosted over 10 functions in the past 2 years and still planning on hosting more we keep in touch with ppl known as leaders of the jerking movement such as Big Soul, Caleon, Two-tone twins, Sick Nick, and other names we have created moves that have been used in solo vids by the two tone twins such as the R stepDCMilz (talk) 14:30, 27 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

ummm sorry but i think the main jerk shoes are vlados and vans — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.242.229.229 (talk) 01:36, 20 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Some of the jerk fashion page isnt accurate jerks dont wear air jordans. Supras and vlados are the main jerk shoes. I stated this but it was then deleted. Why???????? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.140.122.118 (talk) 17:54, 27 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

i agree, in jerk fashion we wear, (mostly) vlados, and vans, and supras and many types of skate shoes. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 1392g (talk • contribs) 02:40, 30 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, Jerks wear any skate shoe and stuff and vlados but we have our own clothing too like Nja shirts and skinnies, Geek gear clothing and Jerkaholics clothing and that good stuff. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.173.31.112 (talk) 03:15, 25 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This page needs to be reformatted. It is formatted as a genre page and should just be written as a normal article(such as the tecktonik article).

This dance is not apart of hip hop dance world at all it is just a fad dance. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.29.6.2 (talk) 15:42, 16 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Here's an article from the LA Times about Jerkin':

[1] (They call it a blog in the URL, but at the bottom of the article it says that it was published in the June 14th edition of the Calendar section of the Times.)

Not only does it mention the New Boyz, it mentions that several other groups have signed to major labels, and goes into some of the crewz that have been jerkin' in Los Angeles.

Is this reference good enough to add them?

(You guys know that I've been a stickler for refs and no crew adds until consensus. Besides, I'm over 50 years old and as such, am way out of the range of the kids doing this. Can a consensus be reached about this?)

Regards to all.

--Manway (talk) 21:15, 20 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think the substantial coverage threshold is met for Rej3ctz and (Go-Go Power) Ranger$. Cold Flamez could also be mentioned because they've been signed to Asylum. My suggestion is to add "Groups such as New Boyz, Rej3ctz, and Cold Flamez have been signed to major labels like Asylum" to the article, with reference. —C.Fred (talk) 21:41, 20 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Here is the final June 14th article. Unfortunately it has adverts instead of jerk photos. I would suggest give both links as a single ref. - Altenmann >t 22:49, 20 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The jerk is now in every world, In portugal The nc's or NEW COLOR`S are jerkin to the country too* —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.242.183.108 (talk) 17:55, 3 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Any sources for that? —C.Fred (talk) 18:08, 3 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Since the article has been unprotected, I see a lot of unconstructive edits from anonymous editors and very few constructive ones. If this trend continues, I'll semi-protect the article again. Any objections? —C.Fred (talk) 19:43, 21 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No objections from here. Just strong support. --Manway (talk) 23:48, 21 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I OBJECTTTT —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.46.87.66 (talk) 16:04, 9 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Well, the article is already protected. What edit are you requesting? —C.Fred (talk) 17:49, 9 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

{{editsemiprotected}} Hello, This is Julian From The Go Go Power Rangers(Ranger$) and i wanted to know if you can make a Wiki for my homeboy J-Hawk ( made songs such as Never Hungry and More Hits)

Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. —C.Fred (talk) 00:57, 15 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm really sorry but the fact that they say people who jerk wear blah,blah,blah,blah really bothers me.It seems they could say something more "professional" because sum people who do like to jerk probably don't even like skinny jeans.I'm just sayin',i like skinny jeans but I don't think all ppl that know how to jerk like skinny jeans. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.243.27.196 (talk) 00:56, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This article needs to be updated about the crews n the style, there should be jerk artist n jerkin clothing brand involved such as jus jerk, jerkaholics, and vladofootwear. it needs to talk about how the fashion is now such as sanpbacks,foxtails,and so on. Also talk about dances mixed with jerkin suck as dougin' & Cookin'.it should talk about The L.A Showdown And The AZ showdown. The big events in the jerkworld. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.228.252.117 (talk) 01:14, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I was wondering if they should have their own article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 132.241.128.157 (talk) 07:50, 28 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
