Rock and Roll Love Affair and Other New Material

You have failed to include information for Prince's latest single, Rock and Roll Love Affair. It can be found here: http://princevault.com/index.php/Rock_%26_Roll_Love_Affair. Also, new Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube accounts have surfaced called "3rdeyegirl" releasing new material from Prince. It is also rumored that he has a new album in the works. comment added by ~~Tanasio Loudermill~~

"Wide vocal range"?

An interesting description of a predominantly high-pitched squeak. Are there any citations from a reliable, scientific source? If not, suggest removing description or changing it to "predominantly high-pitched squeak". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.118.74.40 (talk) 18:55, 31 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request on 19 September 2013

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Please change the introduction blurb, 3rd paragraph. It currently reads: He released three more solo albums before debuting the New Power Generation band in 1991, which saw him changing his stage name to an unpronounceable symbol known as "The Love Symbol".

Please update to: He released three more solo albums before debuting the New Power Generation band in 1991, which saw him changing his stage name to an unpronounceable symbol. He was officially known as "The Love Symbol" (copyright), while media- and casually-described as "The Artist Formerly Known as Prince" or "The Glyph".

Because/Why/Source? I'm a fan who lived during that time! If you need an internet source, how about: http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,273604,00.html. The copyright is already cited as source #66.

Not done:. The proposed wording is confusing and grammatically unsound. The "Artist formerly known as' moniker is discussed in some detail in the body of the article. Whether it is important enough for mention in the lede is a question best decided through discussion and consensus here on the talk page. Note that the source you provided does not mention "The Glyph" with a capital 'G'. Rivertorch (talk) 18:01, 21 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 6 February 2014

Under this section the word TOUR has been misspelled, please change toujr to tour. 3rdeyegirl: 2013-present

In February 2014, Prince performed two intimate concerts with 3rdeyegirl to promote a British toujr. Garyr1972 (talk) 15:28, 6 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 7 May 2014

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Prince (musician). (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.
