Hit Me Off[edit]

So did the song hit #1 or #6 on the Pop chart? On the discography graph it says #1 but if you click on the song, the info page says #6, —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 152.23.79.15 (talk) 15:59, 29 March 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Studio Album 8[edit]

Studio album 8 may not be released until 2009. I found that out on the New Edition Fan Club. No one is sure when album will be released but when I find I will let Wikipedia know. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jasonsingerling (talk • contribs) 21:53, 15 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Change to members section[edit]

Hello, I am going to propose a change to the "Members" section. It will replace both the "Members" and "Lineup chronology" section by merging both into one. I will use a wikitable instead of an image so that it can be easily maintained and regularly updated. I created this table using information from the article as it stands. As more information (and citations) become available, this can be fixed. I ordered the members based on, roughly, who joined first vs. who left first. In cases where members share the exact same time in the band, like Bell and Bivins, I used alphabetical order. I put "HIATUS" in 1991-1995 because the article describes this time as a hiatus and not a break-up of the group. If citations show different, then that can be easily changed. If there are any objections, please state them below. Thanks! I ^help _dןǝɥ I 05:12, 27 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

If this is successful, the future of Template:New Edition timeline needs to be discussed. I ^help _dןǝɥ I 05:23, 27 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

If the template is used, I'm going to update it. I ^help _dןǝɥ I 06:05, 27 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Bobby Brown's departure[edit]

The article formerly said:

Under pressure from MCA and their management, the group voted Bobby Brown out in December 1985, due to behavioral problems.

And this was cited to:

"Bobby Brown Bio – Bobby Brown Career". Vh1.com. Archived from the original on November 30, 2002.
"Bobby Brown". Billboard.com.

But neither of these sources says that Brown was voted out of New Edition at all, much less for behavioral problems. Due to WP:BLP problems, I just removed this sentence altogether. -- Metropolitan90 (talk) 02:51, 6 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
