I'm the author of the article. The former version was based directly on what was written in 'Q: The Autobiography of Quincy Jones' and contained no gossip. I have however revised the article. It is my hope that it is now better suited for Wikipedia. Kcasares 12:55, 17 August 2005 (UTC)

I think it is. I withdraw my complaints. And thanks for helping to expand on neglected topics! --Tsaddik Dervish 12:06, 18 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Manual of Style

A lot of stuff in this article seems a bit gossipy and not really suitable for an encyclopedia. If there are no objections I will (in a couple of days) alter the article significantly. Tsaddik Dervish 07:24, 16 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Trivia

"The first letter his parents received after he was born came with a $5000.00 bond from family friend Frank Sinatra."
Would that be 5000 dollar and 0 cents, or is the comma misplaced and should it be 500.000 (500 thousand dollar)? Just wondering since I want to translate this article to Dutch. Thanks in advance -- Sander 11:12, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

There is no comma, that is a period. It is supposed to be $5,000 bond, but $5000.00 is the same thing.--Hndsmepete 15:16, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
