Improved to Good Article status by GDuwen (talk). Self-nominated at 18:38, 23 September 2020 (UTC).
Review underway. Promoted to GA status on 9/22. Article is long enough, well written, and is very solidly referenced. Some of the sourcing is to off-line book sources which are accepted in good faith. The first hook is awkwardly phrased. The alt 1 and alt 2 hooks look fine. The image is from Commons with a public domain licensing tag. However, the nominator needs to fulfill the QPQ requirement before this can be promoted. Cbl62 (talk) 19:35, 23 September 2020 (UTC)
- BTW, GDuwen, your work on the Jimmie Rodgers oeuvre is appreciated. His influence on American music is profound. Cbl62 (talk) 19:45, 23 September 2020 (UTC)
- @Cbl62: Thanks, I'm glad to be able to expand that kind of articles. As for the hook, the one about the train whistle should be OK. About the QPQ, I already reviewed the DYK Template:Did you know nominations/Red, White and Blue (ship). No idea if a bot is supposed to update that or what, but anyway maybe it is just waiting.GDuwenTell me! 20:09, 23 September 2020 (UTC)
