Hi there! I'm Cartoon network freak and my GAN review for your nomination is going to arrive soon. Best, Cartoon network freak (talk) 17:30, 27 August 2016 (UTC)
Lead
[edit]- Guitar is a solo studio album by American jazz guitarist Sonny Sharrock. → remove "solo"
- Why? Dan56 (talk) 00:28, 30 August 2016 (UTC)
- is it his fifth album? Include a number
- I don't know. There's no source verifying the chronology. Dan56 (talk) 00:28, 30 August 2016 (UTC)
- recorded the album → recorded it
- from critics → from [[music journalism|music critics]]
- When Guitar was released → Upon the release of Guitar
- who praised → who acclaimed
- playing → his playing
- by rock critic → by The Village Voice writer
- jazz writer → jazz critic
- said it → felt it
- Are these just suggestions? Dan56 (talk) 00:28, 30 August 2016 (UTC)
Infobox
[edit]- Is the exact release date known?
- The recording place is written a little bit weak (sorry!), try to change it like it is displayed here
- fusion → jazz fusion
- You may use a flat list; look here
- I don't follow. Dan56 (talk) 00:34, 30 August 2016 (UTC)
- was viewed → was perceived
- That's not really an improvement; the definition of view suits the context more than perceive. Dan56 (talk) 00:34, 30 August 2016 (UTC)
- record Black Woman in → record, Black Woman, in
- I think an em dash would be less repetitive of commas, which follow 1969. Dan56 (talk) 00:34, 30 August 2016 (UTC)
- ideas: "You → ideas, confessing that "you
- It's not really a confession; "recalled" would be more appropriate. Dan56 (talk) 00:34, 30 August 2016 (UTC)
- which nationality is the band?
- There is no band. It's Sharrock's "solo" album; only he's playing. Dan56 (talk) 00:34, 30 August 2016 (UTC)
- "Devils Doll Baby", which featured Sharrock's frenzied slide guitar playing, and → "Devils Doll Baby"—which featured Sharrock's frenzied slide guitar playing—and
- Done. Dan56 (talk) 00:34, 30 August 2016 (UTC)
- had late in their careers → had experienced in the edge of their careers.
- That's not a grammatical improvement. Dan56 (talk) 00:34, 30 August 2016 (UTC)
Release and reception
[edit]- beautiful" but → beautiful", but
- There's no separation of clause(s) here so a comma isn't necessary; "Sharrock's avant-garde playing" is still being described after "funky and beautiful". Dan56 (talk) 00:49, 30 August 2016 (UTC)
- well defined → well-defined
- Done. Dan56 (talk) 00:49, 30 August 2016 (UTC)
- Hyder said his → Hyder confessed that his
- It really doesn't make sense to use "confess" anywhere in this article. Dan56 (talk) 00:49, 30 August 2016 (UTC)
- genres while writing, "throughout → genres, while further writing that "throughout
- I rewrote it. Dan56 (talk) 00:49, 30 August 2016 (UTC)
- next album Seize → add comma after "album"
- (1987) could → (1987), could
- any listener's → every listener's
- "Any" is more appropriate; there's no known quantity of listeners the writer is referring to ([1]) Dan56 (talk) 00:49, 30 August 2016 (UTC)
- quality, "helping → quality; it "[helped]
- I revised it. Dan56 (talk) 00:49, 30 August 2016 (UTC)
Track listing
[edit]- All music → All material
- That's so vague/confusing. It's music (he wrote). Dan56 (talk) 00:53, 30 August 2016 (UTC)
- Unlink his name
- The template page links songwriters/composed. Dan56 (talk) 00:53, 30 August 2016 (UTC)
- This statement needs to be accompanied by the credits ref.
- The list needs a header and a reference see this for an example
- I don't see the need--track titles are not contentious (and obviously taken from the same source named in the next section)--and that article is not the best example to draw from, IMO. Dan56 (talk) 00:53, 30 August 2016 (UTC)
Personnel
[edit]- Rename section into "Credits and personnel"
- Why?? Dan56 (talk) 00:54, 30 August 2016 (UTC)
- You may also add "RPM Sound Studios – recording studio"
- A recording studio is not a person lol. Dan56 (talk) 00:54, 30 August 2016 (UTC)
- Credits are adapted from the album's liner notes. → Credits adapted from the liner notes of Guitar.
- That's not a complete sentence. Dan56 (talk) 00:54, 30 August 2016 (UTC)
Outcome
[edit]I've put this article On hold for 7 days. Best and good luck with editing, Cartoon network freak (talk) 19:06, 29 August 2016 (UTC)
- I've made changes and responded @Cartoon network freak: Dan56 (talk) 00:54, 30 August 2016 (UTC)
- @Dan56: Most of them all were suggestions, but gladly passing anyway. Best, Cartoon network freak (talk) 04:52, 30 August 2016 (UTC)
