Rita's extramarital affair
[edit]Why is the child Rita bore without Bob labeled as "the result of an extramarital affair" while the numerous childen Marley fathered outside the marriage are not similarly labeled? This is unnecessarily sexist. Just list the child's name and father the same way Marley's children are listed. 2600:1700:3EC2:7810:1E0:3465:DC1E:ECD0 (talk) 05:01, 27 December 2023 (UTC)
- That's not "sexist" but simply facts. Bob fathered children by fuckin' around groupies once, while Rita hat an affair for several years. It's that simple.

- You are wrong. You seem to misunderstand the point being made! It is exactly the same, so should be labelled the same. It is 'that simple'. 114.23.201.89 (talk) 01:30, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

Marley also has several notable grandchildren, including musicians Skip Marley and YG Marley, American football player Nico Marley model Selah Marley, and filmmaker and activist Donisha Prendergast. AlexanderG561 (talk) 02:33, 22 March 2024 (UTC)

Change “Norman had written the extended lyrics for Kai Winding's "Time is on My Side" (covered by the Rolling Stones)”
To:
“Norman had written the extended lyrics for Kai Winding's "Time is on My Side" (originally recorded by Irma Thomas and covered by the Rolling Stones)”
And add hyperlink to the song’s and to Irma Thomas’s Wikipedia page:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_Is_on_My_Side
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irma_Thomas
Irma Thomas was the first person to record the song with the extended lyrics and is what inspired The Rolling Stones to record their version. It is informative to give the full history and credit of the song. The Wikipedia page for the song even states how The Rolling Stones didn’t give Irma Thomas proper credit.

Bob was not a "white Jamaican", that description is incorrect.
Thank you. 47.202.233.246 (talk) 21:58, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
Not done: Could not find any mention of Bob Marley being described as a "white Jamaican" in article. Only appearance of the word is in "Early life", describing his father Norval Marley, and that use is supported by the cited sources (specifically by Toynbee). Liu1126 (talk) 22:38, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
Is it time for a Marley family page yet?
[edit]Hi y'all. I just did some slight modifications on YG Marley (Bob Marley's grandchild)'s page and it sort of hit me, making a Marley-family page on Wikipedia might not be such a bad idea given how the family appears to keep ever-expanding.
It might make adding more family member's pages in the future a lot easier too.
This mission is beyond my scope though, so I wouldn't be up to the task. Lafi90 (talk) 16:08, 11 August 2024 (UTC)
