Nominator(s): BeatlesLedTV (talk) 19:07, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Both of my current FLCs each have two supports and no outstanding comments so I think I'm safe to nominate this one. Next up in my "songs recorded by..." series is George Harrison. One of the best musicians of all time, I built this list from this to where it is now (with a little help from a couple other editors). Looking forward to any comments or concerns anyone has. Happy editing! BeatlesLedTV (talk) 19:07, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comments
  • Period missing at the end of alt texts.
    • Done.
  • Remove 'as a musician' bit from the opening sentence, as its already mention.
    • Done.
  • 'T' should be in caps while mentioning The Beatles.
  • "Harrison released two solo albums: the mainly instrumental Wonderwall Music".
    • Done.

Comment by Dudley edit

  • "Backed by Harrison's successful rendition by James Ray's "Got My Mind Set on You"" I am not sure what this means.
    • Should be 'of'. Changed it.
  • "the Beatles' retrospective "When We Was Fab"," retrospective does not sound like the right word to me.
    • I didn't think it sounded right either. Changed it to 'reflective'. Or should it be reflection?
  • How about "tribute to the Beatles"?
  • Put "the Beatles' tribute" so I'm not saying "THE tribute to THE Beatles" ('The' twice). BeatlesLedTV (talk) 23:06, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • " that ultimately lead to his death" led to his death
    • Done.
  • I get no link error messages for the Castleman and Christgau books.
  • I have fixed the Castleman error but the problem with Christgau seems to be that you do not cite it. Dudley Miles (talk) 20:53, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comments
  • "were released." no, should be "he released ... solo" just to be sure.
  • "After his death in 2001, a final studio album, two singles, two compilation albums, and four box sets have been released. " as of?
  • " broaden the horizons of his bandmates and their American audiences." do you not think Harrison's impact affected English audiences too?
  • "Before their break-up," reinforce who "their" is, it's got lost preceding this.
  • "mainly instrumental Wonderwall Music, the soundtrack " -> "the mainly..., soundtrack..."
  • "After the break-up" again, you need to reinforce this was the Beatles.
  • "highly successful single" usually we discuss whether they are commercially and critically successful, which was this?
  • "critical acclaim from critics." remove "critical".
  • "hidden for years behind Lennon and McCartney" POV, if a quote, attribute.
  • "organized" if this is BritEng (STRONGTIES), we say "organised", check throughout.
  • "albeit slightly more positive than " this wording is awkward already, but at least it should be "positively".
  • "the warmly received[26] " move the cite to the end of the sentence.
  • "a hiatus for five years" -> "a five-year hiatus".
  • "However, years of cigarette smoking caught up to Harrison..." unnecessary, just stick to the fact that he died.
  • " was released in 2002" -> " was posthumously released in 2002"
  • Link Harrison in every entry in the sortable table.

  • Do we really need two different tables of contents? Everything else looks fine. Courcelles (talk) 22:59, 19 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Courcelles You mean the beginning ToC and then the content box under the heading? I've seen both in most of the "song" lists that are featured. I've used both in the lists I've helped become featured there's been no complaints. BeatlesLedTV (talk) 23:14, 19 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Exactly what I mean, it is strange to go from a lede, to a TOC, to a second, more specific TOC that still contains everything in the first TOC, to finally the list. Courcelles (talk) 23:22, 19 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • I definitely don't see the second TOC as a table of contents in that regard, just a navigation aid. I see no problem here at all. The Rambling Man (talk) 23:39, 19 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Same I don't really see a problem either. It's definitely more of a navigation guide. The ToC is automatically generated as well. BeatlesLedTV (talk) 23:43, 19 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Fair enough. Without any other issues, support. Courcelles (talk) 23:45, 19 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks very much! BeatlesLedTV (talk) 23:46, 19 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
