Fingers

The article claims he injured his third and fourth fingers, but the photo indicates fourth and fifth. Barduri 2011-01-20

Fingers are counted separately from the thumbs in English, so this is correct. 1Z (talk) 18:49, 21 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Who's the lead singer in...?

There's no mentioning of the lead singer in Django's "Giorgia on my mind", also participating in other songs. Who is he, and why isn't he mentioned in the article? Thanks. Gil_mo 22:38, 17 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You could go research that and add it to the article, cite a source and help out. Buster 21:18, 3 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think its Freddy Taylor

Django Symphony

Around 14 of September 2007 the Kristiansand Symphony Orchestra paid tribute to Django Reinhardt, "who during his lifetime dream was to play his music with a symphony orchestra." So they say. I think this should be looked up, cited or at least mentioned.

Dingo?

I noticed that an edit was made earlier today replacing many of the incidences of "Django" with "Dingo". I fixed one instance in the introduction, before noticing all of the instances of his name in the discography read "Dingo" as well. Was this supposed to happen, or is this vandalism? (The most recent version with all the "Django"s was edited on the 7th of October.) Aristotle28 (talk) 23:52, 18 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Archiving

Does anyone object to me setting up automatic archiving for this page using MiszaBot? Unless otherwise agreed, I would set it to archive threads that have been inactive for 30 days and keep at least ten threads.--Oneiros (talk) 01:35, 24 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Done--Oneiros (talk) 21:53, 3 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Birthdate

I've seen a roughly equal number of sources stating Reinhardt's birthdate as either January 23 or January 24. The article presently states January 23. As the citation footnote does not seem to be pinned _directly_ to the date, and as I do not have access to the book cited in that footnote, can anyone verify that the January 23 date is indeed what the book says? Or does the footnote refer to other aspects of the the lede paragraph and not necessarily the date? If not, then what is the source for one date being correct and the other not?

1929? Typo?

In the WWII section: "In 1929, Django's estranged wife ...." Should this read "1939"? Or is this bit of information out of place? The dates of WWII are 1939-1945.Blbachman (talk) 14:58, 19 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This whole section needs to be cleaned up - it seems to say he was in the U.K., but was under the protection of a Nazi. The timeline needs to be clarified. CitiCat^♫ 00:49, 30 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Technique?

Would be nice to see a section discussing Django's technique and his style of chord-voicings/chord-tones etc., if any experts would care to do us the honour...with notation, if possible. Best regards. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Illiustrope (talk • contribs) 02:48, 30 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Reference to Reinhardt by Jaqueline Winspear

Jaqueline Winspear mentions Gypsy violin/guitar player famous in Paris (ca. 1931) in her novel "Incomplete Revenge".The Romas and their culture figure a great deal in this novel. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.14.91.29 (talk) 15:04, 19 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

From Here To Eternity

I think it should be mentioned that Django is talked about at length in chapter 32 of James Jones' novel "From Here To Eternity". 108.237.241.88 (talk) 09:40, 29 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
