Help me!
I respectfully draw your attention to liner notes included in "The Complete Motown Singles" Vol.4: 1964: "Rush-released on Florence Greenberg's Wand label, Nella's soundalike version forced Motown to pull the original from the album and issue it as a 45 only three weeks after "Baby Love" was in stores - and while Motown's promotion staff was pushing for a second consecutive #1 hit by the Supremes, Dodds' version was squashed, stalling at #74."

So you see, the material in question was verified by me. Perhaps I should have included a footnote crediting the writer of these liner noters as stating the fact, but otherwise I would never post something in an edit to an article that I could not verify as fact. If I could not verify, I would not edit an article.

Please help me with...

 * I'd say there were two issues: Firstly, you didn't cite your source. It's not enough that you have verified the content you're adding, our readers should be able to verify it themselves. Secondly, liner notes are not the kind of reliable source Wikipedia content should be based on. Articles published by newspapers or reputable music magazines, or maybe a book about the Supremes published with a reputable publisher - sources which are subject to editorial oversight and have a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy - would be much better.

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Out Here on My Own, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 21:53, 13 January 2019 (UTC)
