message: The text says 1950, but the persondata has 1948. I've categorized the birth year as missing meanwhile. Dsp13 12:30, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It makes more sense having both data.--Engelbaet 09:19, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  I don't think so. Two birth dates for one person make no sense at all, unless there is a really compelling reason. I have given a source where Patti Austin gives her age. If you want to dispute her own statement, you should give a really good source, not just something you can find "everywhere" in the Internet. Ebab 21:38, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The mentioned article is not such a reference. There is a big uncertaincy in the assumed birth date 1950, too. Cf. Wikipedia:Verifiability.--Engelbaet 10:37, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

message: I'm removing the reference to "Love Collection" under "Compilations", because it's not a compilation but another release of the "Street of Dreams" album, minus one track. Ebab 17:37, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

message: Why are you constantly putting peoples surnames when describing what about them?  You're doing that over and over. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Celeste6566 (talk • contribs) 00:56, 2 October 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Because it's clearer than just using a pronoun every time, especially when other people are mentioned in the text. —C.Fred (talk) 01:29, 2 October 2011 (UTC)

message: This part doesn't sound like something in an encyclopedia: "... Austin remains one singer who clearly needs no such production techniques to cover a crystal clear, flexible, and knowing voice imitated by many, duplicated by none." That whole sentence is speculative and fawning. -Crunchy Numbers (talk) 15:09, 9 June 2014 (UTC)

message: I'm not sure where the best place would be to put it and I worked tech for the show so I probably shouldn't add it myself.  But she wrote and starred in a show named for one of her songs around the same time she was getting back with major record labels.  It was called Patti Austin: On the Way to Love and was staged during the 01-02 theatre season at the Sacramento Theatre Company, not long after the album of the same name came out. It was basically a biographical piece with music.  So far as I know she never did the show anywhere else.

https://musicianguide.com/biographies/1608003993/Patti-Austin.html I don't know how reliable a source this is but in the paragraph where they talk about the show, they reference an area weekly newspaper that might work as a source. Millahnna (talk) 23:29, 7 March 2023 (UTC)
