The following has been checked in this review by Maile

  • QPQ done by Guerillero on date of nomination
Eligibility
  • Article created by Pustelnik on December 1, 2007 with a pre-expansion size of 569 characters of readable prose
  • 5X expansion began by Guerillero on Januray 14, 2014 and brought it to 4,052 characters of readable prose

Sourcing
  • Every paragraph sourced, most offline with two online sources
  • No bare URLs, and no external links used as inline sources
  • This sentence is tagged and needs sourcing before this nomination can pass. Wiseman copyrighted the song and made sure that 50% of the royalties it earned were given to Lunsford until Lunsford's death
Removing question mark. This issue has been resolved. — Maile (talk) 23:10, 15 January 2014 (UTC)
  • The link to allmusic.com, which is the source for the Willie Nelson recording, goes to a list of Nelson's albums and does not mention this song. Perhaps Nelson's version is listed at allmusic in a list with other versions? Need that fixed, anyway.

One of my favorite songs. I saw Grandpa Jones sing this in concert. Let me know when the two sourcing issues are fixed. Everything else seems right about this. — Maile (talk) 21:28, 15 January 2014 (UTC)

I made the fixes you were looking for. When I found a book source that speaks of Willie's cover I also found out that it charted. --Guerillero | My Talk 22:58, 15 January 2014 (UTC)
On the Willie Nelson one, can you please narrow it down to a specific page number or two? I'm pretty sure GA will also be a stickler about this.— Maile (talk) 23:10, 15 January 2014 (UTC)
The several hundred page long book doesn't have page numbers --Guerillero | My Talk 23:49, 15 January 2014 (UTC)
Well, why don't you go back to allmusic.com and do a search under the song title. I'm pretty sure it will pull up a list of artists who have recorded this song. If Willie Nelson is one of them, link to that part in allmusic.com where it shows the list. — Maile (talk) 23:52, 15 January 2014 (UTC)
link link 2 --Guerillero | My Talk 23:56, 15 January 2014 (UTC)
Link 2 iis perfect. Stick it in the article at the end of that sentence about Willie Nelson. — Maile (talk) 00:01, 16 January 2014 (UTC)
Done --Guerillero | My Talk 00:03, 16 January 2014 (UTC)
