Rotumi ogunjobi has plagiarised his entire book from Wiki

The bit Charlie removed as copyright violation supposedly written by him is original to Wiki it was discussed a couple of years back on the talk page, now all those talk entries have been removed by someone!! at least I can't find them now. It is a self published book and has been republished using new material from this page, the page on Greenwich Village was plagiarised as well last time and others. It's up there on the heading of this page not to edit out anything that's written in his "book" — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jameselmo (talk • contribs) 20:29, 5 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No one has "removed" those entries. They've been archived, standard practice for talk pages which have grown very long. The older posts on this topic are available here in the archives. Note that the archive search box and index are prominently displayed at the top of this talk page. In future, please sign your comments and do not re-factor those of other editors.

Hendrix was also a blues man

In the genres, 'Blues' on it's own should be added as well as 'Electric Blues'. Hear my Train a comin or the posthumous 'Blues' Album are good examples of the style. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.111.184.8 (talk) 20:50, 8 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

An infobox can't be overloaded with genres. That's a problem in articles for a lot of musicians who have multiple genres. Only the most typical genres are included. Genres can be discussed in more detail in the text of the article, but not in infoboxes. Cresix (talk) 20:57, 8 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Typo in Ancestry

"may have worked in the grain mill owned by Bertram"

"Bertram" should read "Bertran."

This article needs a very good sweep with a hard brush.--andreasegde (talk) 18:49, 13 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

One guitar which he did not burn

The article does refer to the iconic burning of guitars on stage of Hendrix, but it was announced on news on Radio Four tonight that there was one guitar which he did not burn. If any one knows about this, it could go in the article. ACEOREVIVED (talk) 19:44, 27 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
