This is a picture of Jamie Cook and not Alex Turner !!!

Picture

Can someone update the picture to a more recent one? Since he's changed quite a bit in terms of his looks and style since the picture currently in use.

Childhood

Alex Turner had a very lively childhood, since an early age him and he had aspirations of making it big in music, Alex Q-Play was the only one to make it since he was robbed at bus. His bands debut album smashed Freeyork records as the fastest selling debut album ever. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 172.189.209.229 (talk • contribs) .

How do you define lively childhood?-- —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 217.33.207.195 (talk • contribs) .

Private Life

I doubt the existence of this "Clare Gordon" doesn't come up on any google search. Reference does not match. Am removing the bit until it is verified. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.245.245.21 (talk) 07:25, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

I've removed it again as it was added by another IP after you removed it. There were several edits by two IPs that added false information (including the bit about Clare Gordon), so I've reverted to an earlier version of the article. —Snigbrook 11:35, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

The article says he's with Lilah, but the reference is about Arielle. 132.170.104.72 (talk) 13:17, 20 March 2014 (UTC) anonymous

Age?

How old is he - it says he was born in 1986 at the top by his name, but says he was born in 1987 in the info box... how old is he actually?

Section

Unless this means anything I don't know about, it should be deleted:

"Lives & Pictures (of those ones) In France : Transborder Lyon Elysée Montmartre Zénith Paris Zénith Lille"

Anybody object? 86.40.104.63 19:22, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

Ryan Urie?

This is so peculiar. I wonder, does this dancer lives in Vegas? Sounds too familiar to me.

New Band

Should we mention that an associated act would be his new band. I mean in the column under his photo seems reasonable enough to me. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.100.221.196 (talk) 00:08, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

    Didn't know where else to put this so.. Hi, I think we should definitely include more about The Death Ramps because of the fact it's included in the Arctic Monkeys page, and plus the music he's created with that name. It's also a still open band. Started in 2007, and still performing sometimes.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.170.186.113 (talk) 17:49, 14 July 2015 (UTC) 

Moving in with Alexa

Citation? Seems only fair. FiendishThingie (talk) 19:03, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Tenor or baritone?

If Alex Turner is listed as a tenor on the List of tenors in non-classical music, should he be listed in the list of English tenors, and not English baritones? 2602:306:CD13:5690:4930:735D:EAEF:8A53 (talk) 00:24, 9 June 2017 (UTC)

Honestly, I think he should be listed in the English tenors category if listed on the umbrella list. No idea as to why he was listed as a baritone in the first place. Donny (talk) 02:25, 12 June 2017 (UTC)

Requested move 16 July 2018

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: Moved. I'd usually relist this with a new RM multi, but there is an obvious consensus here with no signs that the dab page will be disrupted by this move, so I'm going to move them now. Popeye191, in the future, please make sure that the destination is not an article already, and if it is, you propose a destination for that page, too. Anarchyte (work | talk) 09:47, 24 July 2018 (UTC)

Alex Turner (musician) → I propose his title should be changed to "Alex Turner". He is the primary topic - other entries get single-digit views daily. A disambiguation notice could alert visitors to other possibilities. Popeye191 (talk) 07:59, 16 July 2018 (UTC)

• Close malformed. Alex Turner is a dab page. In ictu oculi (talk) 09:00, 16 July 2018 (UTC)

But should the dab page not be "Alex Turner (disambiguation)"? The main topic should be "Alex Turner"Popeye191 (talk) 19:18, 16 July 2018 (UTC)

• Support. Overwhelming WP:primary topic, averaging over 3000 daily hits this year, 99% of the total [1]. - Station1 (talk) 07:40, 17 July 2018 (UTC)
• Support this move and Alex Turner becoming Alex Turner (disambiguation). This is the obvious primary topic. Nohomersryan (talk) 22:44, 17 July 2018 (UTC)
• Support and move the dab page to Alexander Turner. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:46, 18 July 2018 (UTC)

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

Uncited claim of full name

Personal-life claims about a living person's full name requires WP:RS citing per WP:BLP, one of Wikipedia's core policies. In a quick search, including at AllMusic.com, I could find no RS cite to support that claim. Where did it come from? Is it someone's claim of personal knowledge? All I've seen is forums like Reddit, non-RS sites and the wikia IMDb, which is disallowed as a reference citation. The fact that this purported full name does not seem to appear in any reliable source should be a red flag.--Tenebrae (talk) 22:31, 11 September 2019 (UTC)

Vandalism

Someone changed name to Seprona Music. I reverted changes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.207.174.8 (talk) 21:38, 17 December 2020 (UTC)

Link for movie “Submarine”

In this article, the movie Submarine is not linked because it states “it doesn’t have a Wikipedia page”. However, I believe it does have its own page and it should be linked. Janvan0413 (talk) 06:17, 7 January 2024 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 7 January 2024

Id like to ask to submit an image of alex turner that is more recent since this guy turned 38 yesterday, i thought he would need a new picture in the wiki 1nkbur (talk) 10:30, 7 January 2024 (UTC)

 Not done: Please make your request for a new image to be uploaded to Files For Upload. Once the file has been properly uploaded, feel free to reactivate this request to have the new image used. Capybara Fan (talk) 16:02, 7 January 2024 (UTC)

Wrong link for band The Rascals

In the third paragraph of the intro, there is a link to an article about a band called The Rascals, but it links to a 1965 group and not to the correct one, whose frontman is Miles Kane. Cofcevicz (talk) 20:12, 23 January 2024 (UTC)

@Cofcevicz: Thanks for reporting the problem. I have redirected the link to The Rascals (English band). Keith D (talk) 22:59, 23 January 2024 (UTC)

Picture ( possible vandalism ?)

This picture doesn't look right and has been removed multiple times before. The description is also not right. As a new contributor I could be wrong and I'm sorry if that's the case, but even if it's the wrong picture I wouldn't feel comfortable changing it myself as I don't really know how to properly do it. Can someone help me with this please ? Diamant580 (talk) 21:30, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
