Did You Know A fact from this article appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the "Did you know?" column on August 7, 2007.
The text of the entry was: Did you know ...that the Beyoncé song "Suga Mama" features a sample of the song "Searching for Soul" by funk band Jake Wade and the Soul Searchers?
Current status: Good article


Vocal range

edit

Even though the music sheet says that her vocal range spans up to D5, she actually hits a couple of G5s at 3:02 and 3:12 (the peak notes when she sings the last "Yes"). So I edited the vocal range but I didn't know how to reference the song itself. I mean, do we need a source when the notes are clearly hit at those points in the song? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.194.114.115 (talk) 03:27, 9 May 2016 (UTC)Reply

NOT a single!

edit

This song was not released as a single! It had a music video, but that does not make it a single! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.81.22.110 (talk) 01:26, 18 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

Suga Mama should be included in B'Day

edit

I think there is absolutely no need for an own article. It can be merged into the B'Day article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Malcolmo (talkcontribs) 18:26, 28 September 2007 (UTC)Reply

Re-created

edit

Well, there seemed to be enough information about this single for an article independent of the main album page, so I re-created it from the redirect. If anyone knows of any other sources that could be used to expand it further, please add them. Extraordinary Machine 03:30, 2 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

Does it have any physical release??? BritandBeyonce 09:53, 2 August 2007 (UTC)Reply
Not that I know of. I think it was released on a strictly promotional basis, with, of course, the song available to download from places such as iTunes as an album track. Extraordinary Machine 20:29, 2 August 2007 (UTC)Reply
I see. Hey! Is the cover a fan made only or official??? BritandBeyonce 07:54, 9 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

Removed from singles chronology

edit

The song "Suga Mama" was NOT a released officially as a single from B'Day. Like songs "Upgrade U" and "Freakum Dress", it recieved attention independent of the album, but it should not under any circumstances be referred to as a single. It is simply misleading. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.1.175.126 (talk) 21:32, 8 September 2008 (UTC)Reply

GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria


This article is in decent shape, but it needs more work before it becomes a Good Article.

  1. Is it well written?
    A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:  
    Well done.
    B. It complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation:  
    A little more should be added in the lead.
    Check. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 14:22, 11 September 2008 (UTC)Reply
  2. Is it verifiable with no original research, as shown by a source spot-check?
    A. It contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline:  
    According to this, there are two dead links.
    Check. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 14:22, 11 September 2008 (UTC)Reply
    B. Reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose):  
    C. It contains no original research:  
    D. It contains no copyright violations nor plagiarism:  
  3. Is it broad in its coverage?
    A. It addresses the main aspects of the topic:  
    B. It stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style):  
  4. Is it neutral?
    It represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each:  
  5. Is it stable?
    It does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute:  
  6. Is it illustrated, if possible, by images?
    A. Images are tagged with their copyright status, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content:  
    B. Images are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions:  
    It would be best if Image:Beyoncé Suga Mama music video.PNG was placed on the right, per here.
    Check. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 14:22, 11 September 2008 (UTC)Reply
  7. Overall:
    Pass or Fail:  
    If the following statements can be answered, I will pass the article. Good luck with improving this article!

Thank to Gary K. and Efe for getting the stuff I left at the talk page, because I have gone off and placed the article as GA. Congrats. ;) --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 14:22, 11 September 2008 (UTC)Reply
