Members of the Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles are in the process of doing a re-review of current Good Article listings to ensure compliance with the standards of the Good Article Criteria. (Discussion of the changes and re-review can be found here). A significant change to the GA criteria is the mandatory use of some sort of in-line citation (In accordance to WP:CITE) to be used in order for an article to pass the verification and reference criteria. Currently this article does not include in-line citations. It is recommended that the article's editors take a look at the inclusion of in-line citations as well as how the article stacks up against the rest of the Good Article criteria. GA reviewers will give you at least a week's time from the date of this notice to work on the in-line citations before doing a full re-review and deciding if the article still merits being considered a Good Article or would need to be de-listed. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us on the Good Article project talk page or you may contact me personally. On behalf of the Good Articles Project, I want to thank you for all the time and effort that you have put into working on this article and improving the overall quality of the Wikipedia project.

Are you saying that they asked Ross to sing it in a different KEY or a different octave in the same key? The whole passage in intriguing but I don't understand precisely what it means. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:647:CD00:7AC3:568:6AEF:91FE:5336 ( talk) 22:22, 23 November 2015 (UTC)
Initially, the producers argued over who should sing the song, as the song had been cut in the same key as Mary Wilson's voice but since Berry Gordy had assigned the main lead singer role to Diana Ross, the producers eventually gave the song to Ross, who sung it in her original register after the group entered the recording studio to record the song on April 8. Ross was told to sing it at a lower register. As a result, a stubborn Ross sung it in a lower key, fessing afterwards to Holland, "is that what you want?" with Holland nodding. The other Supremes, who had sung with more energy on previous recordings, were only told to continually say "baby" repetitively while also only singing the title. This was done after Lamont Dozier was forced to redo the arrangement of the background vocals.

The bit about "Where Did Our Love Go" becoming a harbinger of America's involvement in Vietnam is absolute bullshit. The "Gulf of Tonkin" Incident was 2 August, 1964. Virtually, no one in America including the Cadets of West Point knew anything about Vietnam. This is Liberal bullshit and quite offensive to this brother of a Vietnam Casualty. Hence, I removed it...accordingly. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Spencer-The Unknown ( talk • contribs) 19:43, 29 October 2020 (UTC)
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Where Did Our Love Go's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
