Infobox and lead

[edit]
  • Separate the genres using bullet points per Template:Infobox song
  • Write out the rock genre in the body rather than sourcing in the infobox
  • Can you stylize the audio for a song infobox instead?
  • Second infobox looks good, apart from is there supposed to be no singles chronology?
  • "which was released on his seventh studio album" → "from his seventh studio album,"
  • You need to write out directly in the body that Dylan wrote the song
  • The lead is not properly sorted into paragraphs; I would recommend running the first up until the 1971 release and the second para from the earlier take onwards, as I will further instruct
  • "All twenty takes of "Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again"" → "All 20 takes of the song" per MOS:NUM
  • "also appears on 1971's" → "also appeared on Dylan's second compilation album," with the wikilink and add the year in brackets instead
  • "An earlier take was" → "An earlier take of the song was" since this will be a new para
  • "The song has received a" → ""Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blue Again" has received a" and add what was praised about it
  • "recorded in May 1976 was included" → "recorded in May 1976 was included on" and introduce the album

Recording

[edit]
  • Retitle to Background and recording
  • Pipe acoustic to Acoustic music
  • "In 1965, he hired" → "In 1965, Dylan hired"
  • "that the recording sessions" → "that the sessions"
  • Wikilink harmonica
  • Pipe Kenneth Buttrey to Kenny Buttrey
  • "All twenty takes of" → "All 20 takes of" per MOS:NUM
  • "This, and four additional takes" does this mean that take and the other four were released on the edition? If not, then I would suggest changing this to mentioning the four takes also being released.
  • "when it was in included on" → "when it was included on"

Critical comments

[edit]
  • Retitle to Analysis and reception
  • "identified several possible influences" → "identifies several possible influences" and for consistency, you should use the same tense throughout unless it's a non-biographical source
  • Start a new sentence at Ma Rainey with "He further notes the influence of" or something similar
  • "that he employed on some of" → "as he employed on some of"
  • Why is "and" used for the preacher + rainman then railroad men + deceased grandfather?
  • "listeners would realise that" → "listeners would realise,"
  • "we all inhabit"." should have the punctuation inside if this is a full sentence per MOS:QUOTE
  • "Dave Margoshes of the considered the song," → "Dave Margoshes considered the song,"
  • Is Crawdaddy supposed to be piped to Crawdaddy (magazine)?
  • "oh-so-accurate refrain."" → "oh-so-accurate refrain"."
  • Italicise Uncut
  • ""grand statements on" → ""grand statements" on"

Live performances

[edit]
  • Pipe Pensacola to Pensacola, Florida
  • "on May 16, 176," → "on May 16, 1976," obviously
  • The three omitted verses part is not mentioned by any of the sources

Personnel

References

[edit]
  • Ref 1 needs to be corrected from bare formatting
  • I removed this. I don't think sheetmusicplus is a suitable source for the genre; I found three different claims:
https://www.sheetmusicplus.com/title/stuck-inside-of-mobile-with-the-memphis-blues-again-digital-sheet-music/19427074 has "Folk, Rock"
https://www.sheetmusicplus.com/title/stuck-inside-of-mobile-with-the-memphis-blues-again-digital-sheet-music/20267366 has "Folk, Pop"
https://www.sheetmusicplus.com/title/stuck-inside-of-mobile-with-the-memphis-blues-again-digital-sheet-music/19415742 has "Blues, Folk, Rock"
  • Done.
  • It's one of their special editions rather than the standard magazines. I've wikilinked Uncut.
[edit]
  • Good
