[edit] Bio needs rewrite

The intro to the *Personal Life* section of the bio as of rev 190415406 10Feb08 was:

"The possible connection with the Black Eyed Peas' vocalist is through the Peas' producer Sergio Mendes, a jazz aficionado who saw Coltrane play in the early 60s."

The description of jazz legend Mendes is laughable, and the Coltrane reference no longer makes sense, ever since a preceding sentence containing a reference to him was removed by Grover cleveland in version 189033718.

And what's the whole sentence even doing here, anyway? This whole section badly needs a rewrite. Mathglot (talk) 20:52, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Michael Jackson The King

Hes producing albums and working with King Micael Jackson and its not even been named on this article, does anyone feel guilty for this lack of knowledge? ~ Gaogier

[edit] Feat. vocals

Since some user decided to just blank the list with no reason, let's at the very least move this here for now.

--Thunderbird L17

I feel this should be put back in the article. The user who removed it didn't give a reason, and this is the only edit he's ever made. And it's a good list. Sweetie Petie 23:42, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Will.i.am (musician) or Will.i.am

Can we please make a decision what the title of the article will be, without the constant changing back and forth. --Zimbabweed 23:34, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

This article should be named "will.i.am". Due to technical restrictions, the closest name is Will.i.am. There is no reason to add "(musician)" since there is nobody else called "will.i.am" and likely never will be. I'm moving it back to Will.i.am. Mike Dillon 22:27, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the debate was move. —Nightstallion (?) 12:18, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Requested move

Will.i.am (musician) → Will.i.am … Rationale: Unique spelling; no need to disambiguate with "(musician)". --Mike Dillon 22:30, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
