Infobox and lead

• Separate the genres using bullet points per Template:Infobox song
• Write out the rock genre in the body rather than sourcing in the infobox

• Removed genre from infobox - see comment under Referencing. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 13:02, 4 April 2023 (UTC)

• Can you stylize the audio for a song infobox instead?

• Done. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 13:02, 4 April 2023 (UTC)

• Second infobox looks good, apart from is there supposed to be no singles chronology?

• Added. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 13:02, 4 April 2023 (UTC)

• "which was released on his seventh studio album" → "from his seventh studio album,"
• You need to write out directly in the body that Dylan wrote the song
• The lead is not properly sorted into paragraphs; I would recommend running the first up until the 1971 release and the second para from the earlier take onwards, as I will further instruct
• "All twenty takes of "Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again"" → "All 20 takes of the song" per MOS:NUM
• "also appears on 1971's" → "also appeared on Dylan's second compilation album," with the wikilink and add the year in brackets instead
• "An earlier take was" → "An earlier take of the song was" since this will be a new para
• "The song has received a" → ""Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blue Again" has received a" and add what was praised about it

• The praise is quite vague actually, but I've had an attempt at this. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 12:47, 5 April 2023 (UTC)

• "recorded in May 1976 was included" → "recorded in May 1976 was included on" and introduce the album

• I've amended the artivle per the points above. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 12:47, 5 April 2023 (UTC)

Recording

• Retitle to Background and recording
• Pipe acoustic to Acoustic music
• "In 1965, he hired" → "In 1965, Dylan hired"
• "that the recording sessions" → "that the sessions"
• Wikilink harmonica
• Pipe Kenneth Buttrey to Kenny Buttrey
• "All twenty takes of" → "All 20 takes of" per MOS:NUM
• "This, and four additional takes" does this mean that take and the other four were released on the edition? If not, then I would suggest changing this to mentioning the four takes also being released.

• Yes, take 13 and four otheres were on the six-disc Deluxe edition. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 14:46, 4 April 2023 (UTC)

• "when it was in included on" → "when it was included on"

• All addressed. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 14:46, 4 April 2023 (UTC)

Critical comments

• Retitle to Analysis and reception
• "identified several possible influences" → "identifies several possible influences" and for consistency, you should use the same tense throughout unless it's a non-biographical source
• Start a new sentence at Ma Rainey with "He further notes the influence of" or something similar
• "that he employed on some of" → "as he employed on some of"
• Why is "and" used for the preacher + rainman then railroad men + deceased grandfather?
• "listeners would realise that" → "listeners would realise,"
• "we all inhabit"." should have the punctuation inside if this is a full sentence per MOS:QUOTE
• "Dave Margoshes of the considered the song," → "Dave Margoshes considered the song,"
• Is Crawdaddy supposed to be piped to Crawdaddy (magazine)?
• "oh-so-accurate refrain."" → "oh-so-accurate refrain"."

• Not done, as the quote is a full sentence from the source. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 11:23, 5 April 2023 (UTC)

• Italicise Uncut
• ""grand statements on" → ""grand statements" on"

• Addressed all of the comments - I think the tense is now consistent. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 11:23, 5 April 2023 (UTC)

Live performances

• Pipe Pensacola to Pensacola, Florida
• "on May 16, 176," → "on May 16, 1976," obviously
• The three omitted verses part is not mentioned by any of the sources

• Done - added a source for the omitted verses. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 14:05, 4 April 2023 (UTC) (I later found "excising three verses of 'Memphis Blues Again'" in the Rachlis Rolling Stone article; I think this is what I had originally relied on. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 12:45, 5 April 2023 (UTC)_

Personnel

• Wikilink Joe South on the img text

• Done. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 12:16, 4 April 2023 (UTC)

References

• Ref 1 needs to be corrected from bare formatting

• I removed this. I don't think sheetmusicplus is a suitable source for the genre; I found three different claims:

https://www.sheetmusicplus.com/title/stuck-inside-of-mobile-with-the-memphis-blues-again-digital-sheet-music/19427074 has "Folk, Rock"

https://www.sheetmusicplus.com/title/stuck-inside-of-mobile-with-the-memphis-blues-again-digital-sheet-music/20267366 has "Folk, Pop"

https://www.sheetmusicplus.com/title/stuck-inside-of-mobile-with-the-memphis-blues-again-digital-sheet-music/19415742 has "Blues, Folk, Rock"

• Wikilink AllMusic on ref 11

• Done.

• Shouldn't ref 27 cite Uncut as standard and pipe to Uncut (magazine)?

• It's one of their special editions rather than the standard magazines. I've wikilinked Uncut.

• Wikilink Rolling Stone on ref 35
• Pipe Far Out to Far Out (magazine) on ref 36
• Wikilink Ultimate Classic Rock on ref 37 per MOS:LINK2SECT
• Wikilink Taylor & Francis

• Amended per the four points above. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 14:34, 4 April 2023 (UTC)

• I have to say I don't find this hook particularly interesting. Looks like it's only Dylan's 19th most-played song in concert, and I can't see any particualr significance to the number 748. Regards, BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 17:37, 6 May 2023 (UTC)

I find it interesting @BennyOnTheLoose:. I guess it speaks to how important the song especially since Dylan wrote so many List of songs written by Bob Dylan Bruxton (talk) 19:34, 9 May 2023 (UTC)
