:That's nice. Do you have a ] for that other than "look at the pictures"?--] (]) 06:29, 21 March 2015 (UTC)
:: You can't find any "reliable source", if you think like that... But just look at his photos with Elvis Presley (in 1956) and look at his pictures after 1958, they are NOT the same person! ] (]) 07:23, 21 March 2015 (UTC)

== Lead sentence ==

Might I suggest we keep the lead sentence as it was - B.B. King (born Riley B. King; September 16, 1925 – May 14, 2015) - as the style in Misplaced Pages is to use the most frequently used name at the start, and not necessarily the birth name. {{ping|Connormah}} -- ] &#124; ] 06:42, 15 May 2015 (UTC)
:{{ping|Fuzheado}} - ] is pretty clear about these things that the full name, not the common name should be in the lede. See other articles like ]/]/] for example. ] (]) 17:10, 15 May 2015 (UTC)

== strokes? ==

The article says "His cause of death is a series of small strokes." and gives two references. However, neither of the references mention strokes. ] <sup>]</sup> 01:23, 16 May 2015 (UTC)
:This has been fixed. Those refs have been replaced with a ref providing a cite which does support this. ] ] <small>(earlier ''Boracay Bill'')</small> 03:44, 16 May 2015 (UTC)
