Nomination of Grammy nominations for Janet Jackson for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Grammy nominations for Janet Jackson is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Hey BrothaTimothy, check this IMDb site out!

Best, --Discographer (talk) 20:44, 5 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

File permission problem with File:The Moonglows.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:The Moonglows.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

  • make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
  • Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 12:26, 23 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

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)"[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

Can you please mentor me... LOL

Aretha Franklin

Hey dude! I saw you added Aretha Franklin to the list of musical child prodigies. You stated that she played organ, do you have a source for that?

What's Going On (Marvin Gaye album) - Unknown reference: Gates, 2004

Hey, I'm doing a cleansing in the references, and there's one without complete description (without title and author first name) and I couldn't find the book. The reference is:


From my search I guess a possible candidate is:

  • Gates, Henry Louis (29 April 2004). African American Lives. Oxford University Press. p. 334. ISBN 978-0-195-16024-6.


The article history says that you inserted that reference. Do you have the title/author/year (or ISBN)?

If you get the chance, do you think you could take a look at recent edits at Tina Turner, which I've reverted? As well as being unnecessary in my view, they were poorly written and poorly sourced.

You're gonna have to go to Tina's talk page to discuss that. I'm sure it has been discussed before but you have the right to address that there. But I do think there is a reason WHY it's not included because of the way you wrote it was not part of how Wikipedia does things with articles, your edits read more like fan pages.

please read the wiki posts defining transgender woman as your grasp of the terminology is antiquated and misguided.

there is no conflict between a transgender person "living life as a woman" and utilizing colloquialism of "gay transvestite"

i am sure it is unintentional but your persistent negation, erasure and recontextualizing of Johnson's lifelived as a transgender person constitutes a form of bullying and transphobia.. Randy Wicker as you have noted was Marsha's best friend and he refers to Marsha exclusively as transgender. Wickers knew Johnson better than anyone and as such should be respected as an elder and first person witness to Marsha's life.

I personally helped to edit the film Pay It No Mind that you are referencing.Rebismusic (talk) 03:54, 3 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
