message: The fraud case was filed in 2008. Does anyone know if the case went to trial? Did Ginger prevail? (71.22.47.232 (talk) 09:38, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

message: how about a word or two on why he uses a female nickname?  gotta be something interesting there!  209.172.25.81 (talk) 01:53, 12 June 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I would add that Keith Moon colored his hair to match an outfit he wore when he saw the Who early on. Daltrey or Townshend, recalling the incident, mentioned that here was this geezer dressed all ginger - ginger clothes and hair, holding a glass of ginger. So maybe in the US ginger might be considered a 'female' nickname/name, in the UK and possibly other places it's related to the color red.THX1136 (talk) 16:38, 10 October 2023 (UTC)

message: Who selects the photo that sits above the summary information (top right of page) and why did they chose such a poor image when there are thousands of images available (with and without drum kit) that portray Ginger Baker's character  /persona far better than the one selected?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.173.223.170 (talk) 00:42, 13 January 2018 (UTC)

message: I do hope that the "esoteric" Instruments and sound section, detailing his drum kits and equipment, recently removed as uncited, might be restored at some stage, perhaps after he's appeared in ITN/RD on the Main Page. Here's a possible online source, which looks like it might have been the source originally used, e.g. "From 1966 to 1968, Ginger played a Ludwig Silver Sparkle:".

replies: text: That's the plan. I dont think its worth risking a RD over a listy section, which given sources such as you've found, could be a very interesting text para or two, if we had a white night who really knew their stuff. Ceoil (talk) 20:37, 6 October 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Quite agree. I'm only a part-time and very casual drum-head, I'm afraid. Martinevans123 (talk) 20:43, 6 October 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not a huge fan of gearhead-oriented sections listing instruments and accessories without context – because the number of interested readers is very small – but if we can tell the regular layman some interesting facts about Baker's various kit then yes, let's do it. What not to do: lists of cymbal types and tom sizes (WP:INDISCRIMINATE). What to do: tell the reader about Baker's reasoning and his observations about his drum equipment choices. Tell about a problem he had with his drums. Tell about drum manufacturers wooing him. Tell about other drummers that copied his gear. Et cetera. Binksternet (talk) 00:26, 7 October 2019 (UTC)

message: The infobox states that Baker died in Canterbury, yet later in the article it is stated that he died in Margate. I also found that Kent Live reported that he died in Canterbury. Can anyone clarify this? Joelson98 (talk) 23:03, 21 November 2020 (UTC)

message: Keeps saying he ‘clashed’ with Jack Bruce. What about? Trivial issues, fundamental professional matters ? What apart from ‘chemistry’ caused the abrasions? Examples, please. Or was Baker just a difficult, obstreperous bastard? Well, you get that. --2001:44B8:3102:BB00:188F:ECE1:321F:DB8F (talk) 07:45, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
