I'll be glad to take this review. Initial comments to follow in the next 1-3 days. Thanks again for your work on all things Harrison! -- Khazar2 (talk) 16:22, 10 October 2013 (UTC)
- Hey Khazar2, I'm so glad you could take this on. I'd been planning to give the article a good read-through (but got sidetracked on another one), so it might be an idea to give me a day or so, to save you time? Up to you – I'm just grateful it's up for review at last! Best, JG66 (talk) 18:16, 10 October 2013 (UTC)
- Sure--that'd work great. I've got a few others on my plate to work on in the meantime. Why don't you just post here when you're ready? I'm in no rush. -- Khazar2 (talk) 18:20, 10 October 2013 (UTC)
- Fab. Will do. JG66 (talk) 23:56, 10 October 2013 (UTC)
- Hi Khazar2, thanks for your patience. It's certainly been more than the promised "day or two", but ready when you are. I think I could probably keep tinkering about for another day ... but what the article needs now is a fresh pair of eyes! JG66 (talk) 03:18, 18 October 2013 (UTC)
- Great-- I hope to tackle it later this morning. Cheers, -- Khazar2 (talk) 11:38, 18 October 2013 (UTC)

- "Whitlock also claims that it was" -- probably best to say "states" here, or "according to Whitlock" or some such per WP:WTW
- The copyright status of the YouTube interview [1] isn't clear; this should probably be delinked unless we can clarify that this isn't posted in violation of someone's copyright.
Other than those two points, this looks great so far--extremely well-written, well-sourced, and thorough. I still need to do some source checks to verify accuracy and completeness, but this seems quite close to ready for promotion. More later today. -- Khazar2 (talk) 13:43, 18 October 2013 (UTC)
- Fixed those two points you mentioned, and one or two other things along the way. With that YouTube interview, I've got part of it in a book somewhere ... but the citation there already supports the point. Thanks! JG66 (talk) 16:01, 18 October 2013 (UTC)

Bobby Whitlock on organ
[edit]Bobby Whitlock has been posting interviews on Youtube about the ATMP sessions and insists he was the one playing organ on Let it Down, not Gary Wright. I guess its Bobby’s word against others (?) though I haven’t seen anyone challenge this. Surtac (talk) 02:41, 1 July 2021 (UTC)
- Wikipedia follows what reliable sources say. Whitlock's claims (going back to his 2010 autobiography) are outlined in the Recording section, and are given due weight there vs third-party reliable sources. But you keep blindly focusing on the Personnel list as if the rest of the article doesn't exist. I've just added a clarification at Personnel to state that it's a list of contributors as recognised by two authoritative sources on the subject. JG66 (talk) 02:54, 1 July 2021 (UTC)
