Talk:Tammi Terrell

message: There is no source given for the detail that Tammi Terrell collapsed at Hampden-Sydney College (not Hampton Institute) when she was performing with Marvin Gaye. The article on Marvin Gaye lists a source for the same detail, but the addendum on the bottom of the listed page actually says Hampton. Unless a definitive source can be supplied, it should be noted that the site of the concert is variably listed as Hampden-Sydney or Hampton.--Aprjoy (talk) 04:14, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

message: Are words like "hiatus" necessary? There seems to be far too many  Americanisms on Wikipedia; isn't this a worldwide encyclopedia? 86.29.231.203 (talk) 21:09, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I have no idea what you're talking about. "Hiatus" isn't an Americanism. It's been an English word since the 16th century. 202.94.132.19 (talk) 10:47, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm English and I've never heard the word used in everyday conversation, we'd be more likely to say 'break.' I see from your IP address that you're in Japan so not sure if you're British or not. 86.9.235.80 (talk) 19:23, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: First of all, you misspelled "break", which suggests that we can't rely on your opinion about appropriate English usage. "Hiatus" is a perfectly acceptable English term throughout the world. Some words have different meanings depending on the country of use, but "hiatus" is not one of those words. Just because a couple of editors don't have sufficient vocabulary to use the word is no reason it should not be included in the article. So please, let's drop this and move on to more important matters. Ward3001 (talk) 15:31, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

message: This article was started in 2008 and has so few references? For such a wonderful singer, that can't be right.--andreasegde (talk) 05:13, 14 November 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Much of the text was added in these edits in 2010 by a well-informed and well-intentioned editor who, quite simply, does not do references.   The correct course would be to entirely rewrite the article - but that is inevitably time-consuming and, if the text is accurate and the subject is dead, is unlikely to be many editors' priority.

replies: text: I think the article on poor Tammi is well-informed. The Dutch version has more inline references but the content is very much the same... Hartenhof (talk) 23:09, 27 January 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  References 

message: Some sources (like this and this) claim that she was married briefly to the boxer Ernie Terrell.  However, others (like this) claim that they were not married, indeed did not know each other, and that she was simply given the stage name Terrell by Berry Gordy who thought that Montgomery (her true surname) was too long for bills.  The biography written by her sister absolutely refutes the idea that she was married to Ernie Terrell.  Ghmyrtle (talk) 14:10, 14 April 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Jean Terrell who was the leadsinger of the Supremes for some time, was Ernie's sister. That is the only relationship Ernie Terrell ever had to Motown. No connection to Tammi Montgomery whatsoever. Hartenhof (talk) 22:19, 13 July 2015 (UTC)

message: I just have to comment on "contributed to the volatility".  Only in Wikipedia.  What a line.  Understatement of the decade.
