The template shows the wrong age. Can anyone remove the protection so I can update? ~2026-28927-31 (talk) 11:35, 13 May 2026 (UTC)

The article uses May 13, 1950 as the birth date. This is sourced to a book. A quick internet search shows other sources such as https://coventryobserver.co.uk/lifestyle/the-wonder-of-stevie-how-a-child-prodigy-became-one-of-the-worlds-greatest-ever-musicians-22844/

Do you have a source for your new birth date? PhilKnight (talk) 11:50, 13 May 2026 (UTC)

If you read carefully you can see I wrote age and not date. The template showed age 75 but he turns 76 today. When I started this talk a temporary account was created and now it shows 76 but when I look uninlogged from another device it still shows 75. The article has been protected for 15 years. Can you remove the protection? Maybe the vandals have changed opinion. ~2026-28927-31 (talk) 12:03, 13 May 2026 (UTC)

Thanks. It's showing 76 for me, so I don't think any action is needed. I am not going to unprotect, as I don't think there is a good reason to. PhilKnight (talk) 12:06, 13 May 2026 (UTC)

The age is updates automatically by a template, based on the date in UTC time. You may still be seeing the wrong age on another device due to it being cached. Fear not, no vandals have harmed the page :) nil ^nz 12:06, 13 May 2026 (UTC)

Can you edit the article? I usually do this to update the age in other unprotected articles. ~2026-28927-31 (talk) 12:18, 13 May 2026 (UTC)

in early life it says Berry Gordy was responsible for the stage name 'little stevie wonder' but in the section just after it says the producer Clarence Thomas coined the name. Which is true? Joinallclubs (talk) 02:22, 18 May 2026 (UTC)
