[edit] GA

Ok, this article used to featured a long time ago. Now i dont think we will get it back to FA but we are gonna attempt GA in the next 3/4 weeks. So lets get started. Sourcing is a priority. Realist² ('Come Speak To Me') 18:33, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Reunion rumors... (RESOLVED)

Though Jermaine has talked about the brothers reuniting, I doubt that this will come to fore wishing since Michael is working on his new album and it seems most of the Jackson brothers except Tito have retired unless Michael is open again to collaborate with them on an album. So I vote that we remove the "2008 reunion" paragraph from this article. BrothaTimothy (talk · contribs) 21:59, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, i think MJ is staying solo, he can still shift records as seen with Thriller 25, the rules have changed. Lets get ride of it, wikipedia isnt a crystal ball. Realist² ('Come Speak To Me') 22:02, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Removed. Realist² ('Come Speak To Me') 22:18, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Cut down (DONE)

He need to cut the article down, before we start sourcing, there is stuff that doesnt need to be there. Realist² ('Come Speak To Me') 22:14, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

• The "band personal" sub section should go. Realist² ('Come Speak To Me') 22:19, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

• Way too much detail on the "American dream" film. It has an article of its own which isnt much bigger. Realist² ('Come Speak To Me') 22:22, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

• Early works and influences should go together, i dont understand by influences comes after. Realist² ('Come Speak To Me') 22:44, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

So is all of this done? Cheers, Kodster (You talkin' to me?) (Stuff I messed up) 22:40, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

Yes, done. Realist² ('Come Speak To Me') 22:53, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
