Prestige LP
[edit]Note that Prestige released an LP, "Coltrane Plays for Lovers." This is a collection of (previously released) Prestige material, hence has none of the material on the CD. However, this might cause some confusion. Impulse did put out a similar collection, "The Gentle Side of John Coltrane," although it also had a different playlist.
Not sure if any of this should be in the article.Editor437 (talk) 22:22, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
Image-Rehabilitation Program
[edit]Not sure if this is quite the case -- it seems to be only the cited-article's opinion - not Coltrane or Impulse's. Lewis Porter's biography (see esp. page 196) says it has more to do with mouthpiece problems than the need to become "commercial."Editor437 (talk) 22:27, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
Irregular formatting
[edit]This article does not utilize proper formatting in the infobox according to the standards of its primary wikiproject. The proper formatting for reviews is:
This article has been altered to this:
While "citeweb" is quite useful for citing facts within an article, this does not conform to project standards. See here for more. Additionally, when listing this particular source in articles, there is a template for the purpose, which can be found at {{allmusic}}. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 15:54, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
User talk:Dan56 A good article, The Documentary, features citations instead of links for the professional reviews section of the infobox. Why?
- The article passed on October 31 2007. It was done correctly then. Improper formatting wasn't introduced in that article until this edit, in February of 2008. Since the editor who did it didn't explain why in an edit summary, I have no idea why he or she did it. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 19:25, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
GA Review
[edit]This review is transcluded from Talk:Coltrane for Lovers/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.
- This is not my usual hang-out, but I just wanted to note, as I have addressed on the talk page, that the infobox does not conform to project standards for formatting of reviews. I have pointed out the difference at the article talk page. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 16:16, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
- There should be a Reception section.
- Can a Production section be added/expanded in the article?
- Break up General and Specific references in the " References" section with subheadings using ;General formatting.
- "See also" section goes before "References" per WP:LAYOUT.
- Use en dashes for date ranges, like in the infobox, per WP:DASH.

- Because there has been no discussion from the article's editors here and some of the issues remain unresolved, and in addition, 7 days have passed, this article has failed. Gary King (talk) 21:57, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
GA Review
[edit]- This review is transcluded from Talk:Coltrane for Lovers/GA2. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.
I will start reviewing now. Updates will be posted soon I hope. So#Why review me! 08:20, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
Let's see, a couple of things:
The first review remarks "Can a Production section be added/expanded in the article?" - as far as I can see it, the History-section is today still more or less the same as it was on June 26th - why was that ignored?It is generally assumed that the clinching reason Coltrane signed with Impulse! was that it would enable him to work again with recording engineer Rudy Van Gelder, who had taped his Prestige sessions, as well as Blue Train. — This sentence is not as such supported by the source specified[1]. It needs a better source that this was really the reason why Coltrane signed with Impulse, the source only states that Van Gelder worked on the album "Blue Train", but nothing more.The next sentence, It was at Van Gelder's new studio in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey that Coltrane would record most of his records for the label, including the recordings featured on Coltrane for Lovers., needs a source.I am uncomfortable with this sentence: Shortly after, Coltrane would return to a more experimental phase, releasing Impressions in 1963 and A Love Supreme in 1965, but it would be these recordings that would give John Coltrane a place in romantic jazz. — I think it sounds like an opinion and you should provide a source saying so.- I do not think Amazon.com reviews is a reliable source for a claim like "[...] becoming one the most popular of Verve's For Lovers albums." There should be a source from the label confirming this claim.
Fix this sentence please: Another Verve compilation of Coltrane ballads, entitled More Coltrane for Lovers, followed in 2005, which was also followed by a similar compilation, entitled Plays for Lovers, by Prestige in 2003. — An album released in 2003 cannot follow one released in 2005- The "Charts"-section is not helpful in it's current state. I would suggest expansion with maybe charts in other countries to make it less US-biased or having it as 2-3 sentences so it just looks better. Expansion would be better though.
- Maybe add some more categories if it makes sense, "jazz albums" or such like. That's just a suggestion tho.
Well, that's all I could find for now. I will put it on hold now until this has been fixed. It looks good otherwise imho. Please write into my list above when you did fix something and if possible and not too tedious, do so with a editing diff (e.g. ":Fixed by adding source (diff)). So#Why review me! 09:13, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
I can't find any more information on production. Dan56 (talk) 01:02, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
- Well, okay. I struck everything I think was fixed from my above list. I still think the Amazon.com-"source" needs to be replaced and the "Charts"-section expanded or reworded. SoWhy review me! 11:25, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
I replaced the Amazon.com source, reworded the chart history section, and added another category. Dan56 (talk) 19:52, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
