Nominator(s): Ojorojo (talk) 14:31, 20 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This discography covers Jimi Hendrix's recordings that have been released posthumously and is in addition to the Jimi Hendrix discography, which is limited to those released during his lifetime. Since the previous FLC, it has been thoroughly revised and follows the same layout, format, and extensive use of references and inline citations as the recently promoted FL Jimi Hendrix discography. Recent PR suggestions have been incorporated. Tendentious editing and ownership of Hendrix articles appear to be a problem of the past; Jimi Hendrix and Are You Experienced are Featured Articles and recent Hendrix GAs include "Purple Haze", "Hear My Train A Comin'", "Little Wing", and Band of Gypsys. Looking forward to constructive comments/suggestions. Ojorojo (talk) 14:31, 20 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Wow, this FLC sank like a rock through the list. Review time:
Many good points here; I'll check them off as I go. —Ojorojo (talk) 16:45, 30 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • "He was working on enough material..." - This sentence wanders a bit. Try splitting it in half.
I started to rewrite this paragraph, but will come back to it. —Ojorojo (talk) 21:25, 30 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I've simplified it. —Ojorojo (talk) 17:46, 31 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Changed. —Ojorojo (talk) 21:25, 30 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Released as The Cry of Love in 1971..." - this sentence isn't clear until halfway through that First Rays has been completed three times and The Cry was the first release. Maybe an intro sentence saying that it has been completed and released three times by different artists.
I'll work on this paragraph. —Ojorojo (talk) 21:25, 30 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I rewrote this to clarify (hopefully). —Ojorojo (talk) 17:46, 31 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • "At first, his record..." - At first implies a short period of time, not 22 years. Try a different intro, even just "from 1970 to 1992"
Changed. —Ojorojo (talk) 21:25, 30 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • "In 2010, Sony..." - "became", "distributes", "produced" - tense swings. Try "Since 2010, Sony... has been the distributing label for the releases produced by..."
Yes, used yours. —Ojorojo (talk) 21:25, 30 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • "some purporting to feature..." - this clause doesn't link with the first half of the sentence, and should be it's own sentence. Try "Some bootleg releases have purported to feature Hendrix as a sideman, but have been shown to be fake"
Changed (actually, most are gray market releases – just used "Some"). —Ojorojo (talk) 21:25, 30 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • When was Dagger Records established?
Added year. —Ojorojo (talk) 21:25, 30 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Ugh, this list is so long
Published discographies can run into many pages. I'm not sure how to trim this (although the same should be applied to Jimi Hendrix discography). Some WP discographies have a separate "Videography" article. Any suggestions? —Ojorojo (talk) 21:25, 30 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Fixed. —Ojorojo (talk) 21:25, 30 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Fixed. —Ojorojo (talk) 21:25, 30 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Why is the table in "Extended plays" so narrow? a lot of song names are getting squished - this is a big factor in why this list is so long, actually
I've adjusted the width to correct (hopefully). —Ojorojo (talk) 21:25, 30 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Changed. —Ojorojo (talk) 21:25, 30 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Star Spangled Banner is redirecting to "The" S-SB, but should also point to the "Adaptations" section since that's where it talks about his version
The releases are not consistent and some use "The" and/or a hyphen, while others don't. However, this might be perceived as a mistake in the article, so changed all to "The S-S B". Also, I've linked to Performances and adaptations of The Star-Spangled Banner, which discusses his version. —Ojorojo (talk) 21:25, 30 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Changed, as above. —Ojorojo (talk) 21:25, 30 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Added, although the album title doesn't. —Ojorojo (talk) 21:25, 30 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Added. —Ojorojo (talk) 21:25, 30 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • I don't like that the "Experience Hendrix website" section tells you what you could stream in October; why not all the possible ones? Why not what is there now? Why not all that's been listed to date?
Updated and reworded. I'm not sure why they add/drop certain concerts. —Ojorojo (talk) 21:25, 30 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Changed, now consistently "The WCM" (also now all "Foxy Lady"). —Ojorojo (talk) 21:25, 30 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Changed as above. —Ojorojo (talk) 21:25, 30 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • The references to "JimiHendrix.com (official website)" should just be JimiHendrix.com - given that the publisher is Experience Hendrix, it can be assumed to be official
I dropped the extra designation. —Ojorojo (talk) 21:25, 30 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • All references that have the publisher as "X, L.L.C" or "X Corp" or "X Inc." should just be "X"; we don't typically include the firm's corporate status in their name
Changed. —Ojorojo (talk) 21:25, 30 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
OK, I think this take care of it. I went through the links again and eliminated some redirects and clarified others. Thanks for your review. —Ojorojo (talk) 17:46, 31 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Alright, I made a couple more tweaks myself, but now Support. --PresN 23:43, 5 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
