Infobox and lead

How long ago dates were does not need to be noted in the infobox

Fixed. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 09:30, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The exacty recording date and studio are not sourced anywhere in the body

Added the details with a source. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 12:30, 30 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

WP:OVERLINK of Columbia under label(s)
"during the sessions for" → "during the sessions for his third studio album,"
"The track was written" → "The song was written"
"by Dylan and produced by" → "by Dylan, and produced by"
"started ninety seconds" → "started 90 seconds" per MOS:NUM
Move the standalone sentence to being in the same para as the rest since this is not enough on its own
"found the track enjoyable." → "found the song enjoyable."

Fixed the seven points above. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 09:30, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Background and recording

Add a comma after E tuning
"ninety seconds into" → "90 seconds into" per MOS:NUM
"before saying that the song" → "until saying that the song" to avoid using before twice in one sentence

I amended the article per the three points above. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 12:35, 30 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

"and the stanza's return." is this definitely about one stanza because if multiple, remove the apostrophe

Source has "Dylan accompanies the bridge and stanza’s return with harmonica." BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 12:35, 30 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Pipe Jimmie Tarlton to Darby and Tarlton
Add double speech marks around "Percy's Song"

I amended the article per the two points above. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 12:35, 30 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Release and reception

The tense of reviews needs to be consistent

Fixed. (Hopefully). BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 12:39, 30 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Personnel

Good

Copyvio score is totally non existent!
