message: I get confused about the years for the GRAMMYS. Yes, the awards were made in 1977 but grammy.com shows the awards were for 1976, which is indeed when the records were issued. In long form it would be accurate to say Benson won a 1976 GRAMMY at the awards in April 20th(or whenever), 1977. Is there a wikipedia rule about how the years for awards are used?
https://www.grammy.com/grammys/artists/george-benson
Surely here we should reflect the year the award was made for rather than the year the award was presented?

message: At the start, it says he lives in Florida and is one of Jehovah's Witnesses, and then it says he lives in Arizona and is one of Jehovah's Witnesses. Which is it, Florida or Arizona???--70.30.47.169 (talk) 23:43, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

message: I think it would be better having attached some other kind of picture...
I mean, not with "some guy" as this fan's picture, but playing his guitar, or at least singing...
What do you people think ?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Maximilianomilicich (talk • contribs) 21:10, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

message: Parts of this read like a fan writeup ("this stellar lineup",) there are grammatical errors, etc., but I neither have time to fix nor know how to add a template at top. :( SteubenGlass (talk) 00:14, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

message: A disruptive editor keeps adding some trivial information to the infobox without a valid source. I've asked him to provide a real source and discuss it here. Instead he reverts and claims some sort of ownership on this page (see his edit summaries). I won't revert him now because of WP:3RR but he has been repeatedly warned about edit warring and providing reliable sources which he chooses to ignore. freshacconci talktalk 14:43, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I gave an official source two times, but freshacconci deleted it again and again. Here is the source once again: http://www.globaldogproductions.info/g/groove.html If somebody can help, please do it! He don't ever want to discuss anything as I asked for. He damages this article without any reason! --Horseman16 (talk) 15:05, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I asked you to discuss it here which you refused to do. The source you provided is not reliable per WP:RS. I asked you repeatedly to read that link so you would understand what a reliable source is. Instead you edit warred and claimed ownership of the article (see diff). As I said, adding that information to the infobox is not helpful, does not belong there and is unsourced. If that information were properly sourced it would belong in the article with an explanation. freshacconci talktalk 15:17, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, it is you have refused my request to discuss the information I added. It can be found on history page. I haven't claimed any ownership on this page at all, on the contrary, it is you think that if you have more rights at Wikipedia, you can do everything that you want. After all this you called me "a disruptive editor". Is it normal? --Horseman16 (talk) 15:36, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: By the way, on the main page of the article there is a text: "At the age of 10, George recorded his first single record with RCA-Victor in New York, called 'She Makes Me Mad'". Why don't you think that this information is not helpful and does not belong there? I wrote that the career of little George Benson started in 1954. It is all the same. --Horseman16 (talk) 15:56, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: As I already told he don't ever want to discuss anything, he only wants to do as he wants. He told: "I've asked him to provide a real source and discuss it here", but he don't discuss and don't answer to my messages. --Horseman16 (talk) 16:02, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
