Blues rocker Johnny Winter was a one-of-a-kind and his discography had a few twists and turns. This has been in the works for over a year and covers all of his recorded output, is carefully sourced and meets all the criteria. Hope you find it interesting & informative. —Ojorojo (talk) 16:43, 18 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comments by Alexandra

  • The picture in the lead lacks alt text
  • never remaining at any one for more than two or three albums, so sometimes remaining for more than two - change to "for more than three albums"
  • Notes that are complete sentences should end with a period; ones that are sentence fragments are fine as is (see WP:CAPFRAG for details)
  • The King of Slide and The Woodstock Experience should sort as "King of Slide, The" and "Woodstock Experience, The"
  • Same goes for all the items under "Compilation albums" that begin with "The"
  • Otherwise, this looks good - please ping me when you have addressed the above and I will take another look!--AlexandraIDV 17:11, 18 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thank you! I added archive links to the references and missing periods to a few more complete sentences, and I think everything's good to go now!--AlexandraIDV 18:33, 18 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Can't see any reason for "Gold" to be in quotes or to have a capital G (in a couple of places)
  • "Winter's last studio album, Step Back (2014), is his most successful" => "Winter's last studio album, Step Back (2014), was his most successful"
  • "Royalties were not Winter's primary concern, "I just....." - think that comma should be a colon
  • "After signing to Columbia Records in 1969, Winter's former associates began....." - it was not Winter's associates who signed to Columbia, so this needs re-wording
  • "Recorded: 1984–1984" looks weird - just put "Recorded: 1984"
  • "Note: The Winter brothers are listed on singles as "Johnny and the Jammers"" - which singles? This wording suggests all of them, which obviously isn't the case.......
  • AllMusic is not the author of the first book listed
  • Why is one random issue of Billboard listed in the bibliography? If it is the source for one specific chart position, just put it against that.
  • Think that's it from me - great work. Nice to see a bluesman's discog coming to FLC...... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 20:13, 18 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • I've fixed the problems and made some tweaks for consistency, etc. I also added a Hendrix album with a song Winter played on (received a favorable mention in a review). I think that takes care of it. Thanks for being so thorough. —Ojorojo (talk) 16:13, 19 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • There is an issue with the ref order for the 1978 album I'm Ready.

Everything else looks great.~ HAL333 20:40, 23 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support Nice work. ~ HAL333 19:31, 27 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

  • "45 rpm record single" record single reads odd to me. One or the other but not both.
  • Could tell us what that single was!
  • Reworded, not noteworthy for the second sentence. —Ojorojo (talk) 17:38, 3 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • "recorded" used three times in three sentences makes for repetitive reading.
  • " to Columbia Records.[1] With Columbia" repetitive.
  • "the main American record charts" but you only mention (and list in the table) one, the Billboard 200.
  • "remaining at any" remaining with any?
  • I don't follow the last sentence of the lead at all. What was the "discography situation" that having a three-year break made more complicated?
  • Removed, not important to his discography . —Ojorojo (talk) 17:54, 2 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Worth noting that his last studio album was a posthumous release?
  • Not clear why italics is required as well as the asterisk, it makes the numbers crash into the symbol making it harder to read. Also makes the double asterisk even harder to delineate."
  • Since the other charts are not the one specified in the column header, I am thinking of moving them to efns, similar to the Canadian charts. —Ojorojo (talk) 17:54, 2 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • I moved these to efns, which eliminates the need for the footers also. Now they are all consistent. —Ojorojo (talk) 17:38, 3 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Sortable tables means everything that's linked should be linked every time. My advice: make them unsortable. I'm not sure what sorting adds here.
  • "Billboard's" not sure that 's should be in italics.
  • Isn't the chart called "Top Blues Albums"?
  • At one time, but it's been just "Blues Albums" for more than nine years.[2][3] —Ojorojo (talk) 17:54, 2 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • "c.1961" normally a space after c.
  • I would order the infobox the same as the sections, i.e. Bootlegs before singles.
  • Albums may appear in a specialty chart, but only receive a brief mention in a review or bio and may not meet the significant coverage criterion (and not "enough material to warrant a reasonably detailed article"). Also, compilations are often discontinued/replaced after a few years, so may be unlikely to receive any further coverage. —Ojorojo (talk) 17:54, 2 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • ""Rock and Roll, Hoochie Koo"" needs an en-dash in the chart place column before that footnote about Canada.
  • "Albums as producer and/or guitarist" section, Billboard in table heading needs italics.
  • Concert videos not mentioned in the infobox.
  • Ref 41 needs spaced en-dash, not hyphen.
  • Added snd to Together (ref 40; 41 looks OK). —Ojorojo (talk) 17:54, 2 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

That's it from me. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 16:04, 1 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@The Rambling Man: I'm going to come back to the lead. Meanwhile, how about moving the other charts and the unlinked albums? —Ojorojo (talk) 17:54, 2 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I trimmed some of the less important info from the lead, moved the footnotes from the bottom of the tables, and simplified the efns. That should do it. —Ojorojo (talk) 17:38, 3 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Source review — Pass[edit]

Will do soon. Aza24 (talk) 09:19, 2 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Formatting

Bibliography

  • Your locations are inconsistent, either include all or none of them, just needs to be consistent
  • Removed. The prior inconsistencies were due to only including locations as specified in the actual sources used (some have them, others don't). —Ojorojo (talk) 14:56, 3 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

References

  • ref 24 has a different year then biblo, not sure which is right
  • some of the page numbers, such as refs 24, 86, 95, 115 are missing periods
Reliability
  • I see no issues here; AllMusic has a history of trusted critics, and non-authored links are just statistical information Aza24 (talk) 06:32, 3 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Verifiability
  • Have glanced at some of this and found no issues. Aza24 (talk) 06:32, 3 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Fixed the issues. Thanks for a thorough source review. —Ojorojo (talk) 14:56, 3 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Great! Pass for source review. Aza24 (talk) 00:03, 5 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
