Title Picture[edit]

Untitled[edit]

Currently we can add pictures related to specific events in his career, but there is no free-content image that we can use in the info box as yet. Shyne never had much time to tour or even make many rounds in the media since he was immediately thrust into his court battle. And most pictures taken were either promotional pics or news photos from the trial. If anyone can check out Wiki Commons, get the template to request permission for use of a good photo to use for the infobox, pleas help. I may try myself soon though.

Found a licensed photo and added it. Bonnie13J (talk) 20:49, 20 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Redone[edit]

This article needs to be brought up to date with recent events. It doesn't even say anything about his life or arrest. Evilchaos08 (talk) 02:52, 4 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've taken it upon myself to maintain it on a day-to-day basis until resolution of his current situation. After that it's someone else's problem. I do suggest a temporary block for newer editors however because of rampant speculation that could enter the article through vague sources. I've done my best to add over 30 sources to the article, and while I don't want to completely exclude any speculation at this point, I've made sure to delineate speculation from facts.Unak78 (talk) 12:02, 13 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Conversion[edit]

Shyne converted to Judaism not Islam. Who put that he converted to Islam here? -Hasafienda

Needs Work[edit]

this article needs citations, better info, and more up-to-date info.Marcus 00:32, 19 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

PLEASE EDIT THIS ARTICLE

Would someone PLEASE either delete or FIX this article?? I can aprpeciate the fact that literacy and proper grammar are challenges among many people and that no one is perfect. However, Wikipedia should at least require articles to be written with proper grammatical structure equal to a 5th grade reading level. For example, start with the paragraph heading about the "1999 SHOOTING" and read onward. The phrasing, structure, and grammar are filled with massive errors that MUST be corrected. The entire paragraph is literally a run-on missing key words and proper structure.

PLEASE either fix this article, or delete it altogether. While I respect that not everyone is an English Professor, the need still exists to maintain standards in order for Wikipedia to be taken seriously as an academic source. Poor writing and borderline illiteracy in main articles are not the best tools to promote such acceptance. THANK YOU.

Actor[edit]

How is he an actor? He's only been in 3 Documentary movies playing "Himself" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.69.176.203 (talk) 21:59, 9 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I can't be sure, but I believe even documentaries "require" SAG membership Unak78 (talk) 14:00, 13 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Background[edit]

Shyne mother isn't Ethiopian or an Ethiopian Jew. His previous statements on his mother referred to her as a Garifuna. Garifunas are also neither Ethiopian nor Ethiopian Jews. Shyne's mother is actually a Belizean Creole, as is his father.

Shyne's grandmother is a Ethiopian Jew. Taking a Shyne to Judaism CoCoLumps (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 01:32, 3 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I had to edit the article because it was wrong. Shyne was not born in Trinidad, he was Born in Belize City, Belize C.A.
