Marvin Gaye
Hey BrothaTimothy, check this IMDb site out! Best, --Discographer (talk) 20:44, 5 June 2013 (UTC)
 * I know what you mean about not including it in the aricle, kind of like when we included Blondie: The Florence Ballard Story in her article, and no movie on that ever did get made! Also, both of these films had original casted leads who both dropped out. Best, --Discographer (talk) 20:59, 5 June 2013 (UTC)

Bad (album)
The information I gave for the album was correct, otherwise I wouldn't have put it. He did have seven number ones for that album. Five in the US, two in other countries. If you want to find out for yourself, check out MJ's singles charts to find out for yourself.Stco23 (talk) 18:00, 18 June 2013 (UTC)

Never mind, I checked to see why you changed it. I guess it's fine. The reason for that was I changed it from six to seven because somebody put six and that person could have done it because he/she saw a number one for one of the songs in another country and decided to change it as a result.Stco23 (talk) 18:06, 18 June 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:The Moonglows.jpg


A tag has been placed on File:The Moonglows.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Hi wish to converse with you outside this forum
My name is Marg...Please contact me by email. I am new to wiki...want to do an article. Would like for YOU to mentor me. And also wish to communicate with you re your article on Harris Womack (I was a VERY close "friend" of his who loved him dearly). My email: poekneegurl@aol.com At your convenience and discretion...I leave the timing in your hands and really wish for your serious consideration in regards to mentoring/training me. Warmest regards, Marg March 9th 2014 "99.167.80.8 (talk) 14:43, 8 March 2014 (UTC)"
 * You mean when it comes to how to make a Wikipedia article or editing? Sure. I'll send you a message. No prob. Cool you were friends with Harry Womack. BrothaTimothy (talk · contribs) 16:10, 8 March 2014 (UTC)

Thank you for responding re Harry Womack...Helping me...
BrothaTimothy I am not in a hurry and I know you have life outside of here. But when you can manage as far as mentoring me - let me know and I will jump at the opportunity. I will check back here every other day to see if you are able. If you will, will you give me a few dates where you may be available to communicate or when you have the time email me: poekneegurl@aol.com. I am trying to do an article on another friend of mine who is also a bass player, is still alive and I want to honor him. Atleast start on the article so others who are knowledgeable will also post. Hope you are well. Thank you for your time.

WikiProject:Motown
Hey BrothaTimothy, I agree. The other day, WikiProject The Supremes was tagged as being "inactive". I thought, "that's okay, why not just have a Motown WikiProject which would cover not just only one artist, but all of them!" This way, the Motown WP will have an ongoing lifespan since it could also deal with not only its artists (The Supremes, Four Tops, Vandellas, Miracles, Marvin Gaye, etc.), but also its record labels (Motown, Gordy, Tamla, etc.), families (Gordy, Gaye, Jackson, DeBarge, etc.), and other things of that sort (writers, producers, backups, production, companies, etc.) which are all connected to each other under the Motown umbrella. We could dissolve the Supremes WikiProject if we must, and "merge" it into WP Motown, and anything else out there that might be Motown related, and not just focus on individuals, but the entire Motown genre itself! We could have all of that under one wiki-project! The Motown WikiProject sounds like a great idea! Is that ambitious or what! Best, --Discographer (talk) 20:20, 20 March 2014 (UTC)

Can you please mentor me... LOL

 * Nah it's alright. I'll try to do something about it this weekend or something. BrothaTimothy (talk · contribs) 01:42, 12 August 2017 (UTC)


 * BrothaTimothy, While I am absurdly worried about Akhiljaxxn's competence, I am sure that you can find the problems with this article that its existence is very difficult to justify. It had been copy pasted without prior consensus on the main articles (Michael Jackson, They Don't Care About Us), violating WP:CFORK.
 * Sources are problematic too, they are nothing more than hysteria over his death (8 years ago), we had same hysteria over the death of Chuck Berry this year. And none of those sources do anything more than cite a few names that are already listed with number of sources on List of artists influenced by Michael Jackson. Only thing we can do now is wait for at least 1 month before redirecting it to the main article (Michael Jackson) if there has been no consensus to move content from concerning articles. Excelse (talk) 07:13, 12 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Oh OK, yeah I see what you mean... but maybe the article can be totally rewritten without it being read like a fan blog? BrothaTimothy (talk · contribs) 22:39, 12 August 2017 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of File:Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell2.jpg


The file File:Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell2.jpg has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Decorative use of a non-free screenshot in Marvin Gaye. There's nothing specific about this 1967 appearance with Tammi Terrell anywhere in the article and the screenshot itself is not the subject of any sourced critical commentary, so the context required by WP:NFCC for the file's non-free use is lacking. If the performance deserved to be mentioned, then it content about it can be added with a citation to a reliable source, but there's nothing really specific in the article about this screenshot which requires the reader actually see it to understand any related article content."

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. -- Marchjuly (talk) 01:23, 6 October 2017 (UTC)

Thank you for your edit to this article, however, I've reverted it as no reason is given for this change, nor references/citations provided to show this is the correct version.

Template:The Supremes
I noticed that in Template:The Supremes, several of the Supremes' albums are classified as "Other albums" instead of "Studio albums": A Bit of Liverpool, The Supremes Sing Country, Western and Pop, We Remember Sam Cooke, Merry Christmas, The Supremes Sing Rodgers & Hart, and Diana Ross & the Supremes Sing and Perform "Funny Girl". This has been the case, apparently, ever since those albums were added to the template in this edit in 2008, so I'm not going to change it on my own without finding out why. Why are these albums not classified as studio albums, just because they are focused on particular styles or songwriters? They were recorded in the studio. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 21:55, 7 August 2022 (UTC)

Hello! I am not super familiar with the topic, but I have worked with the What's Going On (album) page for a bit and think it is very well done with no noticeable issues (to me at least :P) Have you considered making a good article nomination for it? detriaskies 16:08, 2 April 2024 (UTC)

 * Well I am glad to have inspired you! I just thought it was odd the very first album on WP:ALBUM's goal of getting the Rolling Stone 500 list all to GA/FA wasn't any of these yet.
 * Although to be fair, there is probably a crazy number of articles on this site that can be at least GA with just a little work. detriaskies  15:21, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
