kingboyk noted on my talk page:

Now, look. I've spent the last hour or more trailing behind you clearing up your mess. You're moving pages left right and centre to bizarre names which don't reflect the way we do things round here. I am going to ask you not to move any page until you have discussed it on the talk page first, or you have checked me with my on talk page. Dave Lee / Joey Negro for example is not how we do things. For a start, you have superflous spaces between the slash and the words. Second, it goes against our naming conventions (which I want you to read).

This policy in a nutshell: Generally, article naming should give priority to what the majority of English speakers would most easily recognize, with a reasonable minimum of ambiguity, while at the same time making linking to those articles easy and second nature.

Another way to summarize the overall principle of Wikipedia's naming conventions: Names of Wikipedia articles should be optimized for readers over editors; and for a general audience over specialists. That would be Joey Negro then, wouldn't it?! :) --kingboyk 19:36, 18 March 2006 (UTC) Retrieved from "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Xljesus"

SO WHY IS JUNOIR DOWN AS NORMAN GISCOMBE!!!!!!! Xljesus 13:39, 19 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Birth Date

I've managed to prove without a shadow of doubt that Junior was born in 1957, having located him on the Birth Index (Norman W. Giscombe, birth registered Wandsworth in 1957). Also he is listed in his registered songwriting credits (at www.faqs.com) as Norman Washington Giscombe, 1957-. Though it's still up in the air as to whether his birthday is June 6 or November 10. This interview with him (published August 2009) gives his age as 52, which if correct suggests the June date. Crisso (talk) 05:40, 8 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

June 1957 is correct: https://www.opencompany.co.uk/profile/2074792/norman-washington-giscombe. Crisso (talk) 17:36, 10 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
