IA - So much has been left out, from starting out in 2004, appearing at Urban Music Festival 2005 with the Jumpoff. The Before I die, Stereotypical Man, Last night, all songs released in 2006/2007 that have been left off of here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.19.138.7 (talk) 14:59, 21 May 2011 (UTC)

Page name

Why does the page include (rapper) in its title when there is no other Professor Green to disambiguate from? I propose moving the page to simple Professor Green, but I don't know how to.Tony2Times (talk) 13:06, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

I suspect to hide the fact that an article about him was deleted via Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Professor Green. To be fair, it seems as if this isn't the same article. The JPS^{talk to me} 22:12, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

I was annoyed that everytime i tried to put up that he should do something with Eminem,someone on here always deleted it. Why can't we just put it on that we think he should do something with Eminem? After all,he may read it and think that it's a good idea. And then, he may thank wikipedia (or just me:P) for filling-him-in with what his fans think? So pro green if you ever read this, i seriously think you should do something with Eminem-and thats not just because i think Eminems awesome but also because this will make you more famous to. So be a good rapper, and like what all the Celebs say they do Do it for the fans!;)

Oh dear

It should go without stating that most of this article is problematic and appears to have been modified by one of his 14 year old fans in the style of a Daily Star gossip column. I suppose we should be thankful that it wasn't written in 'text speak'. Irisismykid (talk) 20:24, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

You're not far off, but it's actually an article from The Sun, copied and pasted verbatim. See: http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showbiz/bizarre/3053035/How-Professor-Greens-life-was-saved-by-dads-suicide.html Hope someone can clear up/delete the infringing material, I'm not familiar with guidelines, style and so on.

The article states, "On 23 May 2009 Manderson was attacked with the neck of a broken bottle in the Cargo nightclub in Shoreditch, East London. He then got a tattoo on his neck saying 'Lucky'". This implies that Green got the tattoo BECAUSE he was stabbed in the neck. However, I believe he had the "Lucky" tattoo BEFORE he was stabbed, as in close-up images you can see that the tattoo is slightly damaged from the scarring. Also, there are images showing the stitched wound and the tattoo is present - it is unlikely he would have had the tattoo done whilst the wound was still healing.

The Adam and Joe Show?

I'm sure that I saw Professor Green in episode 1 of the fourth season of the Adam and Joe Show the other day. It was in the 1980s House sketch and he was said to have been 11 at the time (2001), although he could've been older in reality. There are no cast credits for the show as far as I can see. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.149.169.187 (talk) 18:45, 17 January 2013 (UTC)

Stage name

The article says Green is because he used to be a cannabis dealer, but why Professor? He's not an academic, so why call himself this? Jim Michael (talk) 13:58, 11 September 2013 (UTC)

I returned earlier good faith edits

Finding that User:Oscarramage95 had done hidden reverts of earlier IP edits without explanation, edits that moved detailed information into the main body, replacing it with summary, and that otherwise sought to make the article more encyclopedic, those earlier IP edits were returned, with clear explanations in the edit summaries.

I then ran reFill to address the > 10 URL-only citations, and did a further three manually. (When they turned out to be self-published dead links, the faux references were replaced with tags.)

This led to discovery of:

1. the issue of the extensive lack of any citations for factual information, in many paragraphs of several sections, and
2. a reliance on prohibited, self-published Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram content to create the appearance of sourcing of this article. These issues were noted, in the relevant sections, and in article tags.

Hence, the article is repeatedly in violation of WP:VERIFY at this point in time. Le Prof
