Not done for now: I hesitate to add this, because it appears you have a conflict of interest and are the author of the work you're asking to add. The referencing/notes/further reading subsections of this article are already in a confusing format... Is there anything in this book that will help support the content of the article? Any new details? -- ferret (talk) 03:12, 16 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

"The Supremes became the first black female performers of the rock era to embrace a more feminine image"?

The article currently states, "The Supremes became the first black female performers of the rock era to embrace a more feminine image." What is this based on? I doubt that all the other black female performers of the rock era who preceded them -- some of whom were also Motown artists and would have been subject to the the company's image development policy too -- had masculine images. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 00:59, 21 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Line Ups

Although very brief and short-lived, shouldn't there be an inclusion in the Line Ups section for the 2000 iteration of Diana Ross & The Supremes? Ross, Payne & Lawrence? It was an official tour and thus an official line up of the group. 110.86.19.122 (talk) 01:39, 5 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

FA criteria

I am concerned that the article does not meet the FA criteria. For example, considerable amount of content is not cited to a reliable source. (t · c) buidhe 21:05, 2 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
