Comments

  • "replaced their previous guitar player Jim Martin and were dealing with the absence of keyboard" why did both of these happen?
  • "Paris, and charted" -> "Paris. The single charted..."
  • And link record chart.
  • "had been fired" why?
  • "Andy Wallace. Wallace had" repetitive.
  • "close friend of Bottom's.[1][3] In" typo.
  • " B-side" is there a link for this?
  • Ref 16 SHOUTING.

  • Thanks again for a prompt review. I've addressed the above concerns; regarding your first point I wasn't sure how much details to go into in the lead but have added a bit more information; I also expanded some further details on Martin's firing in the body too. Hope these changes look okay. Gʀᴀᴘᴘʟᴇ ˣ 18:54, 3 September 2021 (UTC)Reply

  • Reviewed: Windsor Gardens station
  • Comment: Based on refs 6 and 20 in the article. ALT1 is just a bit of fun but it's the line singled out by the critic quoted in the first hook, in case we want to run something more quirky.
