review text: Summary: We establish an extension of \textit{M. Z. Spivey}'s Bell number formula [J. Integer Seq. 11, No. 2, Article ID 08.2.5, 3 p. (2008; Zbl 1231.11026)] and its associated Bell polynomial extension by using Hsu-Shiue's generalized Stirling numbers. By means of the extension of Spivey's Bell number formula we also extend \textit{H. W. Gould}'s and \textit{J. Quaintance}'s new Bell number formulas [J. Integer Seq. 11, No. 3, Article ID 08.3.7, 6 p. (2008; Zbl 1204.11054)].
