A horse farm with Reba, Amy and Barbra??

[edit]

"He also once considered buying a horse farm in Guthrie, Oklahoma with Reba, Amy Grant ("House of Love"), and Barbra Streisand ("If You Ever Leave Me");"

Does that sentence make sense? I don't think it does - there seems to be something missing in between. But then again, I'm not an English native speaker, so maybe I'm all wrong.84.63.39.178 14:18, 9 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • At any rate, I've deleted it, because real estate that Vince Gill considered buying, but didn't actually buy, is not significant enough to mention in his biography, regardless of who he planned to buy it with. --Metropolitan90 22:36, 14 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

i think vince gill has great voice & i think he should cover raven dove from dolly parton's album halos & horns he'd do great. april 20,2010 anymous —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.159.188.50 (talk) 23:05, 19 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Is there a religious or political reason that Amy Grant is not included in his info box on the right, I would like to think not??????? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Newmans2001 (talk • contribs) 00:30, 20 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The infobox used here is Infobox musical artist. It does not contain a spouse parameter and since his spouse is not an important part of his career there's no need to change it to a different one. The documentation for the associated acts parameter is clear and being married to someone doesn't make you an associated act. So there are no religious or political reasons for her exclusion.

Assessment comment

[edit]

The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:Vince Gill/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.

I found this biography of Vince Gill to be between below average to average. It just provides a chronology of the life of Vince Gill. I would prefer to also read about his talent and how it rates in comparison to his peers and to others throughout the history of country music. For example, from what I know of Vince Gill he does not just 'play the guitar and mandolin', but he is one of the best guitar players in country music and one of the rare singers who also plays lead guitar in his band. I would like to know more about his skill at playing musical instruments, songwriting, singing, performing, etc. Not that he simply does all of these things.

Yes, also the article made no mention of his huge success (and route to it) over the period 1982-2010... I have made a start, others are welcome to improve it. Tony 1212 (talk) 06:05, 22 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Vince Gill stories

[edit]

Someone should add (Many YouTube’s on this) how incredibly hilarious Vince is & how entertaining his stories are. He can really lift your mood if your having a hard day by just listening to him tell stories of his Dad, Mom, people recognizing him,karaoke. He really is a funny but also humbling guy.

@Lonelyarefree: Thanks for the suggestion. We don't simply gather an WP:INDISCRIMINATE listing for things about a subject; we gather encyclopedic information about them. Walter Görlitz (talk) 05:00, 25 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • I will be reviewing this shortly. I use the GA Table and make most of my comments below the table so it is easier for nominators to respond to my feedback. I usually start with assessing images, stability, and sources then move on from there. I am fine with nominators responding to my feedback as it is given or all at the end. If you have any questions feel free to either ask me here or leave a message on my talk page! IntentionallyDense (Contribs) 05:40, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • MOS:LAYOUT states that shorter sections should be merged or expanded. "Awards and nominations" is pretty short. I know it has its own article but I'd consider either adding to it or merging it. IntentionallyDense (Contribs) 04:53, 31 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • MOS:LAYOUT states that shorter paragraphs should be merged. I'd suggest putting Gill and Grant live in Nashville, Tennessee, where he also owns a recording studio. with another paragraph or adding to that paragraph. IntentionallyDense (Contribs) 04:53, 31 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • I noticed you reverted my edit where I unlinked some stuff. No issues with that however consider cutting down on some of the links because there was times where things were linked 3+ times. This is optional. IntentionallyDense (Contribs) 04:53, 31 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • ref 51 [17] doesn't really verify what you're writing cause you have to input the information. I'm never quite sure what to do with these types of things. Maybe use wayback to capture the page or cite a news article announcing his award? IntentionallyDense (Contribs) 04:53, 31 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • ref 158 [18] seems to be dead. IntentionallyDense (Contribs) 04:53, 31 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • For criteria 1, 3, and 4 I usually read through the article carefully and provide feedback as I read. This often looks like me suggesting things be reworded, asking for further explanation etc. Oftentimes I will ask questions about the article that come from a place of not being educated on the topic. Sometimes these questions don't have answers or don't result in any changes needing to be made. I ask these questions so I can better understand the topic and thus better provide feedback. Throughout this process, I often make small changes to grammar or punctuation. I try to make these changes by section and if you disagree with any changes I make feel free to revert them!

Music career

[edit]
  • He selected Richard Landis, whom he also allowed to select material for the album. In addition, Landis allowed Gill to play mandolin, banjo, and Dobro as well as guitar. A couple of things here, firstly "in addition" doesn't make sense to me since in the first sentence you're talking about Gill allowing Landis to do things while the second sentence talks about the reverse. I think the sentence would work fine without that part. Secondly, was Gill not allowed to play those instruments before? IntentionallyDense (Contribs) 11:33, 31 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • It also accounted for his highest solo Hot 100 peak of number 52 I'm going to classify this as optional but something about this sentence just doesn't flow right and it took me a couple read thoughts to understand what you were trying to say. IntentionallyDense (Contribs) 15:56, 31 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Gill married Amy Grant in 2000. I missed this when originally going through the photos but is there a more clear photo of Amy available? IntentionallyDense (Contribs) 15:56, 31 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • The project also charted one single on Hot Country Songs with "It's Hard to Kiss the Lips at Night That Chew Your Ass Out All Day Long". I would remove the "also" here as it's not really adding to your previous sentence. The project charted one single on Hot Country Songs with "It's Hard to Kiss the Lips at Night That Chew Your Ass Out All Day Long". would read better in my opinion. IntentionallyDense (Contribs) 15:56, 31 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @IntentionallyDense: Regarding your suggestions so far:
    • "Awards and nominations" is fine with the one- or two-sentence summary. He's won a lot of awards and the awards table would be too long for the main article. I should note that Randy Travis is FA-class and has a similar one-sentence summary before pointing to the sub-page for his awards. I think there's a MOS line somewhere that says if you use {{Main}} you should give a one- or two-sentence summary of what the sub-page consists of (as is done with the discography), but can't find it right now.
    • Ref 51, the CMA Awards page, is fluky. You have to manually enter "Vince Gill" then hit "search", and there's no way to just link the search results link (the URL doesn't change when you click "search"). This also has not been an issue in the past. Should I put instructions in the footnote?
    • I removed the dead Southern Living source, as archive.org doesn't seem to have it either.
    • That is correct. Gill played only guitar on the first two, but also played banjo, mandolin, and Dobro on The Way Back Home. I rewrote that passage a bit to make Gill's and Landis's relation a bit clearer.
    • I swapped out the Amy Grant pic for a more close-up head shot.
    Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 17:45, 31 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    All looks good except I am going to push the Awards and nominations thing. Only having one setence is a MOS violation. If his awards and nominations are important enough to warrent their own article then they are certaintly important enough to warrant more than one setence. You don't need to include the full table just a quick summary of some of the awards hes won. IntentionallyDense (Contribs) 00:03, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I fleshed that part out a little. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 13:41, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • New enough (nominated same day as GA), more than long enough (44k+ characters). Well sourced and written neutrally. AGF that there are no copyvio problems based on spot check. But FYI the lead of this article appears on People AI (ostensibly copied from Wikipedia). There are many images in the article which are used appropriately, per the GA review and a quick spot check. QPQ is done. Hook is interesting and the fact appears in the article with an appropriate citation. Well done. Cielquiparle (talk) 10:41, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
