Please change the capitalization of his name to be all caps.

[edit]

The reasoning in the FAQ is really dumb. "how DOOM chose to write his own name isn't as important to Wikipedia as how other sources write it". He himself is the most reliable source there is. You're going to value some other source's opinions more than his own words?

He made an entire song about how his name is spelled in all caps, called "All Caps". Even if it doesn't follow Wikipedia's style and guidelines, this change would be entirely harmless and it would make fans satisfied. Please just respect his legacy.

Wikipedia has rules. This article is on Wikipedia. This article follows the rules of Wikipedia. Popcornfud (talk) 13:28, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Popcornfud Annoying post. Beyond what @Smirkjuice pointed out, WP:IGNOREALLRULES, and the fact that the article title that you claim "follows the rules of Wikipedia" already has one word fully capitalized, where exactly in the rules are capitalization schemes for nicknames mentioned? I've seen plenty rendered with no caps, which violates english grammar conventions; I'm confident that this article's title falls exclusively under WP:COMMONNAME, and MF DOOM would appear to be the common name.

Semi-protected edit request on 19 February 2025

[edit]

In 2002, Doom was recruited by MC Paul Barman and Prince Paul to co-produce Barman's debut Paullelujah! LP. Doom worked with closely Barman and producer/engineer Phofo for several months ultimately contributing three songs, "Anarchist Bookstore Part 1," "Anarchist Bookstore Part 2," and "Senioritis 2010," with many of the unused beats forming the foundation of Doom's Special Herbs series. This was the beginning of a nearly two decades long collaboration and friendship between Doom and Barman.

 Not done. It's not clear what you are requesting about Doom and Barman, and you have not provided published sources supporting your text. Binksternet (talk) 03:56, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Refusal of entry to the US

[edit]

The article makes various references to his inability to return to the US from a trip away due to the US refusing entry, after which he settled in the UK. What was the reason for that refusal? MitochondriaAreGnocchi (talk) 10:15, 25 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Cover photo is not of doom

[edit]

The new cover photo is not even of MF DOOM. It is another guy who wore the mask. If you reverse google search the image people on reddit have found out that it isn't DOOM, just an imposter. Bjertan (talk) 20:51, 27 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This photo always looked weird to me. An article from Vice claims it's his friend DJ Wesu. Courtesy ping @Wcamp9. AstonishingTunesAdmirer 連絡 21:53, 27 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
