Comments

Prose

• Billy Yates was born on — I'd write full name "Billy Wayne Yates" on the first mention in the prose
• in Wappapello, Missouri as a teen — missing MOS:GEOCOMMA
• Yates traveled between Missouri and Nashville, Tennessee several times — missing MOS:GEOCOMMA
• One of these songs, "I Don't Need Your Rockin' Chair", was released as a single that year and was nominated for a Grammy Award. — avoid starting a sentence by a number.
• calling "Flowers" "maudlin" — missing comma
• Suggesting to link AllMusic
• After exiting Columbia, he founded his — at the start of every paragraph, we'll need to specify Yates. Replace "he" by "Yate"
• "real people singing about real things" — we'll need a citation immediately after this quote
• All the tables need caption. So:

{| class="wikitable plainrowheaders" style="text-align:center;"
|-

should be

{| class="wikitable plainrowheaders" style="text-align:center;"
|- {{Sronly|<appropriate caption text>}}

• Overall, it is a well written article.

Images

• File:George JonesCFF.JPG — How/why is this freely licenced?

• @Kavyansh.Singh: Think I've addressed all your changes. I didn't know about MOS:GEOCOMMA or {{sronly}} before. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 02:46, 8 January 2022 (UTC)
