The link to Sir was removed from the infobox, even though it's linked in the same place on Isaac Newton, Elton John, David Attenborough and others. Thus, there seems to be a standard for which the pre-nominal title is linked in the infobox. BhamBoi (talk) 10:36, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Because this has received no response, I will again add the link to follow suit those other high-profile articles. BhamBoi (talk) 15:22, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
That is fair @BhamBoi: and I have no objection. I recall it being removed (so it was since 2018) but don't remember why/when. TheSandDoctor Talk 02:34, 30 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please add in infobox that he was signed to Atlantic

[edit]

He was signed to Atlantic when he released Wandering Spirit[1]

Can you give me the quote that says that? Article is long and a bit difficult to read. Valereee (talk) 13:20, 23 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
"The fourth solo set in his career, Goddess in the Doorway is the first album under Jagger's own name since 1993's Wandering Spirit (Atlantic)." Thomasthedarkenguine (talk) 15:11, 23 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

In the section entitled The Rolling Stones: 1960s, the aforementioned club was the Ealing Jazz Club run by Fery Asgari ie Ferry's Club. The article on the Ealing Jazz Club has these referenced statements:

The club is noteworthy as the place where, on 24 March 1962, Charlie Watts first met Brian Jones then, on 7 April 1962 Alexis Korner introduced Mick Jagger and Keith Richards to Brian Jones, and the nucleus of the Rolling Stones first came together.[1]

And it was where, nearly a year later, the classic line-up of the Rolling Stones, with Charlie Watts on drums played for the first time in public on Saturday, 12 January 1963.[2] However, it was not until an Ealing gig on 2 February 1963 that Watts became the Stones' permanent drummer. [3]

Eric Clapton has recalled that occasionally he stood in for Mick Jagger at the club when the novice Rolling Stones singer had a sore throat.[4]

The story from the Ealing Jazz Club articles presents an entirely different story to the one here in the bio of Mick Jagger. First Ferry's Club is a nickname, it was actually officially the Ealing Jazz Club. Second did Jagger, Jones and Richards really play here for free or only meet here? According to the Ealing Jazz Club this began as a meeting place until the band played there with Charile Watts in 1963. As the claim they played here for free is not referenced in this article, that statement is contradicted by the referenced material (above) from the Ealing Jazz Club article. So which is it?146.199.57.139 (talk) 08:18, 21 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Edit "He is the frontman and one of the founder members of...", to read: "He is the frontman and one of the founding members of...".

The word in question is "founder" 2603:900A:1908:51DC:90:E7F7:22C7:6FE2 (talk) 22:39, 19 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done: "founder member" is correct in British English. See wikt:founder member. Tollens (talk) 23:15, 19 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment

[edit]

You state he was with Jerry Hall from 1977 and also down the page you list him as married to a different person at the very same time. Please fix this issue — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A00:23C5:C3C7:7400:C04F:FE41:F62D:1FF1 (talk) 09:37, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What about it is incorrect? Jagger is a serial adulterer and has had many affairs.★Trekker (talk) 16:33, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
