• Hi, I'll review this. FunkMonk (talk) 04:14, 27 March 2016 (UTC)
  • Hello Funk Monk. I appreciate your review. Curly Turkey has offered some feedback and might like a say in this.[1] —Ojorojo (talk) 14:41, 27 March 2016 (UTC)
    • Oh, no, I'm fine with it—I was going to do the review because you requested it, but I was going to do the feedback regardless. Curly Turkey 🍁 ¡gobble! 14:53, 27 March 2016 (UTC)

I guess the article will be improved either way... FunkMonk (talk) 20:00, 27 March 2016 (UTC)

• Any reason why the preceding and following albums aren't listed in the infobox, as with most other albums in their discography?

• I've begun to see a lot of these navigational fields (chronologies, singles from the album, alternate covers, etc.) as clutter. Also, the album wasn't released in the UK, so it would only specific to the US (even some of the Canadian releases have different titles). I'll add it if consistency with the other albums if preferred. —Ojorojo (talk) 14:41, 27 March 2016 (UTC)

Hmm, I must admit that this is actually one of the infobox features I actually use when just reading articles, it makes it very easy to quickly navigate through the discography of a band. Also, all their other albums have it, so it really breaks continuity/standardisation... I'd say either they all have it, or none have it. But I'd prefer they all did.

Re-added & cleaned up the rest (at least until the early '70s, when their catalogue was farmed out). —Ojorojo (talk) 23:36, 27 March 2016 (UTC)

• "Eric Clapton replaced Topham in October 1963, a change in lead guitarists that would be repeated two more times" Not sure what is meant by the wording, that they changed lead guitarist two more times? Now it reads like this exact change (Clapton with Topham) was made two more times..

Clarified (this was an attempt at more group bio). —Ojorojo (talk) 23:36, 27 March 2016 (UTC)

• "Dubbed a "rave up", this musical arrangement usually comes during the middle instrumental section, in which the beat shifts into double-time and the instrumental improvisation gradually builds to a climax" Why is this in present tense when it is used to describe their performances in the 60s? The quote also uses past tense...

Changed all to past tense. —Ojorojo (talk) 23:36, 27 March 2016 (UTC)

• "The four remaining songs live songs" Seems like a mistake.

Corrected. —Ojorojo (talk) 23:36, 27 March 2016 (UTC)

• I think this has been brought up elsewhere (album project talk page long ago), one might expect the recording section to follow the background section, but I guess it is a matter of taste.
• "The liner notes read like ad copy" an ad copy?
  • The "copy" in "ad copy" is a non-count noun, basically meaning "text". Curly Turkey 🍁 ¡gobble! 22:04, 27 March 2016 (UTC)

Changed, but "notes reads" sounds awkward. —Ojorojo (talk) 23:36, 27 March 2016 (UTC)

It was correct the way it was—"notes" is the subject. What I meant is that "ad copy" can't take the definite article. I've reverted. Curly Turkey 🍁 ¡gobble! 00:07, 28 March 2016 (UTC)

• Seems important enough for the intro to mention that they didn't write most of the songs on the album?

Added. —Ojorojo (talk) 23:36, 27 March 2016 (UTC)

• That was quick! That is really all issues that came to mind, so I guess Curly Turkey can add further issues here, or will you just continue on the talk page? FunkMonk (talk) 23:46, 27 March 2016 (UTC)

He said he will wait until it's done, so let's wrap it up. —Ojorojo (talk) 23:56, 27 March 2016 (UTC) Curly Turkey, I didn't notice that you were commenting. Take some time, I'll check back tomorrow. —Ojorojo (talk)

No, I'll wait til everything's done. The stuff I wanted to look at wasn't necessarily related to GA eligibility. Curly Turkey 🍁 ¡gobble! 00:08, 28 March 2016 (UTC)

Ok, I'll just go ahead and pass this then. Nice work! FunkMonk (talk) 00:22, 28 March 2016 (UTC)

Thanks again Funk Monk. —Ojorojo (talk) 15:42, 28 March 2016 (UTC)
