I remember hearing this first when I was about 14. It sounded like something from another planet. I am still dumbfounded and amazed that it was released in 1971. I regard Glyn Johns as a genius.

I'm sure I've said this before but I recall my dad's friend playing me "Yours Is No Disgrace"; the opening track on The Yes Album, where this cranked up Hammond organ comes in clear on one channel about 8 seconds in and blows your socks off.

Ah yes. That exact same track was also a revelation for me, thanks to an older brother who had that album (and still does as far as I know).

Oh dear, I'm about to scare you now Martin, right at 1:56, Tony Kaye is miming with a Hammond L-100P, a portable version of the L100 spinet, brought in after they realised there was a market for portable Hammonds about 20 years too late, Chris Squire is on the Telecaster bass copy he had before the Rickenbacker, probably about 10 years old at that point, and ol' Stevie is of course miming to Banks on his ES-175. No idea where they're miming. However, earlier on this evening I saw an advert on TV saying "Did you know that Yellowstone National Park is built on top of an active volcano" and I said "Yes, but I can't remember if the claim is reliably sourced and the article has been expanded 5x in the past 7 days", to which I got the "you sad git" look from the missus.

Hi, I had a look through. The good news is that the nominator is a very experienced editor with many GAs and FAs under his belt, so you shouldn't have too many problems that crop up. I would ask a little bit more about the history of the geology of the area - did the last ice age affect it? A GA has to be "broad in coverage" so it's always worth asking about things you think might deserve a mention, even if the end answer is "nothing in the sources". I wonder why there are two infoboxes? But generally you have done a good job and I don't see any problem with the article reaching GA standard as a result of your comments. And I'm pleased with what you've done on Henry Fownes Luttrell - you listened to Eric and Sitush's comments outside of the GA review and used them to make a better article - exactly the result we should be looking for.

Tricky one. If I could find a good scan of the back cover and find out who recorded and produced it, that might narrow it down to a few obvious session players, but in Mississippi 1969, a Hammond B3 + Leslie 122 was common currency enough that Gregg Allman, just up the road in Macon, Georgia, had one dropped off as a gift in the same manner that one would drop round a Samsung Galaxy 4 in today's gadget currency.

We can't delete Kick the cat effect per {{R from move}} which says "This is a redirect from a page that has been moved (renamed). This page was kept as a redirect to avoid breaking links, both internal and external, that may have been made to the old page name. For more information follow the category link." We could possibly delete Kick the dog effect since there is already a redirect from Kick the dog, but I'm not sure what the rationale for deleting it would be.

Hi Ritchie, I hope you're well. I'm wondering if you could spare the time to have a quick look at the long Background section in Wah-Wah (song). I took the article to GA two years ago or more, and as with quite a few from back then, it's one I'd earmarked for a revisit, having learnt plenty during GARs since then. Your initial thoughts on the Background in Awaiting on You All – something like, "Okay, but what's all this got to do with the song?", along with the suggestion that maybe an article on the artist's religious beliefs was needed – have been running through my head … With Wah-Wah, I'm thinking of taking much of the text from the first section to create a topical article, perhaps titled George Harrison's temporary departure from the Beatles. His walking out from the Get Back/Twickenham rehearsals was noted in The Daily Sketch and The Daily Express at the time, it had obvious effect on the Beatles' immediate plans, was a significant issue during the High Court hearing in January–February 1971; then there's McCartney's take on the episode, and the contrasting approaches between Mac and Hari when it came to letting fellow musicians interpret their songs (or not). So, there's a fair bit to add to such an article. Your thoughts would be much appreciated, Ritch. I'm confident that it would be a useful standalone article but on the other hand, I've also seen some objections (and I share them) to indulgent, "fancruft"-y pieces on the Beatles – the level of detail afforded parents, aunties etc of Paul McCartney and John Lennon, for instance … JG66 (talk) 02:46, 6 February 2015 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2015-02-06T02:46:00.000Z","author":"JG66","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-JG66-2015-02-06T02:46:00.000Z-Overload_of_\"background\"_\u2013_possible_separate,_topical_article_instead","replies":["c-Ritchie333-2015-02-06T11:09:00.000Z-JG66-2015-02-06T02:46:00.000Z"]}}-->

I've had a think, and I have an idea. Break-up of the Beatles is only 15K of prose. Per WP:SIZE, it could be three times as long and still meet our inclusion policies. The article is currently assessed as a mix of B and C class; I'm going to go with C for now. I would suggest your proposed Harrison coverage could go in that article and be beefed up by your arsenal of excellent Harrison sources; I can do the same for McCartney via Miles, McDonald and whatever else I have bouncing around. Rather than the current article, which looks like a mish-mash of things, perhaps presenting things in a chronological order, considering all viewpoints (did Yoko Ono contribute to the break-up or was she just an innocent bystander?) would make a much more interesting article. I smell a collaborative GA on the horizon, and that can only be a good thing. How does that grab you?

Well, I've long found Break-up of the Beatles pretty underwhelming, so anything we do there can only be for the better. Back in 2012–13, I worked on song articles like "Sue Me, Sue You Blues" and "Run of the Mill", always hoping to be able to lean on wider-ranging articles such as Break-up for background – always disappointed. I like the idea of working up the break-up article (and you were quite right to up the importance rating just now). Must say, I consider Harrison's walkout such a key moment and worthy of a separate article. That's partly because I can't help thinking (from Sue Me, Run of the Mill, Ram etc) that we need something substantial in Break-up of the Beatles about the 1971 High Court suit and the events leading up to the official dissolution of the Beatles and Apple in early 1975 (i.e. when the suits all turned Klein's way), so I'm thinking of so much that's missing in that area, you know?

Let's see how it goes with taking some of the Wah-Wah intro there – I welcome the idea of you and I collaborating on Break-up, btw. Only thing to say, and this is what made me lose interest in taking McCartney to GAN (temporarily, I hope, although it's been a while): much of what the likes of Miles and MacDonald take from McCartney as gospel about the Let It Be/Spector/McCartney era appears to be contradicted by Doggett in You Never Give Me Your Money – and that's one helluva well-reasearched book.

Even MacDonald concedes that McCartney's views of the Abbey Road sessions were "rose-tinted", citing an episode where a few Apple Scruffs spotted him storming out of the studio in a right old state (possibly during the backing track to "Maxwell's Silver Hammer") and not returning for the day. Indeed, until his 1989's volte face and wholesale embracing of his "Beatles tribute band" guise, McCartney didn't want to talk about the Beatles, particularly when the elephant in the room was that Press to Play might just not have been as good as the Beatles..... So yeah, this is a golden opportunity for Wikipedia to set the record straight with its NPOV policy as a shining beacon. (Or something like that). I don't know when I'll get a good few hours to sit down with my books and start beefing things up, but I'll see what I can do.

Oh yes, but McD takes it as fact that McCartney had no knowledge of Spector working on Let It Be until after the event. That's not true. At least, Doggett says that the others tried to reach him by phone over a period of weeks (which ties in with Spector having been offered the gig after "Instant Karma!" and when he actually began working on the tapes) and that eventually Mac returned the calls and agreed to Spector's involvement. By talking about it for decades since, what McCartney's done is wrap up his announcement that he was (sort of) leaving the Beatles with his irritation at Spector's treatment of "Long and Winding Road" – in fact, he's reversed the chronology so that his leaving was somehow governed by Spector's over-production. The majority of reliable sources all roll in that direction too. (What are they going to do when someone keeps talking about it?!) George Martin started off saying that McCartney told him that he had no idea Spector was involved. Later, that becomes Martin saying that McCartney had no idea Spector was involved – supporting McCartney's claim. This is just one example, but it's why it's so much easier dealing with George and Ringo. Their recollections don't tend to mess with history!

Hi Melanie. Probably a good idea to tweak the citations so they are consistent with one source, and check the ISBN on the back matches what's listed under "References", as different issues can sometimes have different codes. The original book source is always the best one to go for if you've got it. I have been enjoying a bit of Gypsy jazz after saving Le QuecumBar from CSD, and found my CD copy of Genesis Archive 1967–75 which has a great live version of "Firth of Fifth" that I withdrew from AfD and promptly expanded a lot.

Oops, there is an issue. I remember you tried hard to find a birthdate, and eventually came up with the birthdate of 13 March 1947. You cited it to her book, page 49. I can't find an actual date in her book, or on the book jacket. It just says on page 19, "I was born in March, 1947." Later she mentions an event that happened on March 19, 1952, "a few days after my fifth birthday." But I can't find a citation of an actual date. Can you remember where you found that?

• I checked and I suspect this is because it was off-topic to the album, didn't appear in my copy of the remastered CD (which, admittedly may be a different pressing), the phrase "the photograph is often seen to be a reference" is a weasel phrase that would not withstand a good article review (which this article has now undergone), but most importantly, neither of the two critically acclaimed book sources I used to expand the article said anything about this. If it was that important a fact to mention, either one (if not both) would have done so, as they are both pretty comprehensive sources. Anyway, all that said I've dropped in a note about 2001: A Space Odyssey from a different book source, so it's back in the article.

Hi Ritchie333

Last October you were kind enough to respond to the GA review of James Balfour (died 1845), at Talk:James_Balfour_(died_1845)/GA1#GA_Review. You noted that you felt the review to have been unfair, and were kind enough to also leave a message about this on my talk page.

I have been away from en.wp or the last 6 months, and have only just caught up with this review. I have responded in detail to the review, at Talk:James Balfour (died 1845)/GA1#Reply_to_review, and have left a note for the reviewer (Jonas Vinther) at their talk page (User talk:Jonas Vinther#Your_GA_review_of_James_Balfour_.28died_1845.29).

However, I see that JV has marked their talk page as "semi-retired". I am not sure where this goes from here.

Hi Richie333,

Many thanks for your swift response to the article/page that I created reference: Mark McAllister, Inverness Caledonian Thistle FC.

Thank you also for adding 2 newspaper sources.

As I now understand (and apologies in advance for the question but this is my first experience of creating a page), the page has "Passed the Submission" and is now just awaiting final analysis on a BLP before being published officially on wikipedia? Is that a correct synopsis or do I need to do anything further?

You will notice that I have made a couple of "minor" amendments to the article earlier today to correct my grammar and spelling. Hopefully it looks better now.

Do indeed let me know if you require me to add or input anything else.

Thanks again Richie for your initial update, quick reply and helpful tips - much appreciated!

Regards,

John Cuthbert

@John Cuthbert 221: - The page is now live and can be edited by anyone. I believe it passes our criteria for inclusion as stated in WP:NFOOTY, as there are now sources showing that McAllister has played professionally for a Scottish Premiership team, which is at a sufficient level to pass that criteria. The tag at the top asking for more sources is merely a suggestion of how to improve the article further.

If you examine the text of the article, you will see various <ref> tags that use the {{cite news}} template linking to online versions of old newspapers that support the information in the text coming before them. Once all sentences have suitable in-line citations in this manner, the cleanup tag may be removed. Your book sources would be a good place to start. Don't worry too much about the citation templates, just <ref>Gilfeather, Frank (2009). Confessions of a Highland Hero (One ed.). Inverness: Birlinn Ltd. p. 123</ref> will do (assuming that the fact you want to cite is in that book on that page, of course!)

The next thing you might be interested in is looking at Wikipedia:WikiProject Football, which contains information about other football related topics that need improving or help with. Have a look and see if anything piques your interest.

Hello again Richie333,

Again, thank you very much for your swift response!

I am delighted that the page/article has passed your criteria and is now Live.

When, approximately, will I and others be able to view the page on the official Wikipedia website please? Does it take days or weeks? An approximate time-scale would be most helpful thank you.

I will, of course, take a look at the Wikipedia:WikiProject Football site that you recommended - thanks for that!

Once again, many thanks for all of your help and assistance during this process Richie and I look forward to viewing the page officially in the near future!

Thanking you!

Regards,

What is the most effective way to upload a photograph of Mark McAllister from his plying days on to Wikipedia to compliment the page/article?

You probably can't. All photos of living people on Wikipedia either have to be ones that are released under our licence, which means anyone can re-use them (and even re-sell them) to anyone anywhere.

What is your source of information and what further understanding did you think a layman reader would gain from it? Everybody has their own favourite way of expressing album credits, so the only sane way of working is to state verbatim what's on the record and leave it at that. Have a look at WP:ALBUMS/500, pick an entry in white that's not a GA or FA, grab a few books and several cups of coffee, and improve them.

The 1996 CD reissue credits state: "Original Recording Produced by THE WHO." So does the infobox on the page. The production credits for the original release are not mentioned in the personnel section as you currently have it. - Bossanoven (talk) 06:53, 13 February 2015 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2015-02-13T06:53:00.000Z","author":"Bossanoven","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Bossanoven-2015-02-13T06:53:00.000Z-The_Who_discography","replies":["c-Ritchie333-2015-02-13T13:31:00.000Z-Bossanoven-2015-02-13T06:53:00.000Z"]}}-->

@Bossanoven: Okay, I see what you were trying to do now. The problem was you didn't leave a edit summary, and I have to hold my hand up and apologise a bit that after your recent spell of categories being deleted I thought this was something similar, and the actual text "The Who - original recording" left me puzzled what you were trying to achieve. In this case, a good edit summary would be "added missing production credits from 1996 remaster CD". Anyway, all said and done, the credits were in a bit of a mess so I've redone them from my copy of the '96 remastered CD sleeve notes. Hopefully that's all sorted out now.

I would reiterate, though, that it would be worth having a go at writing some content from sources. For example, I haven't touched The Who Sell Out to see what state it's in, but I would be surprised if there isn't something you can cite from the CD reissue notes, which from my recollection are pretty good (though don't include the story about Pete Townshend flinging a chair through a studio window after finding a tape had been accidentally destroyed by a cleaner, as I think other sources have debunked that one). Gnomish stuff like categories and infoboxes is all well and good, but to really grab a reader's attention and enjoy what our articles have to offer, you've got to have good content with good sources. I don't claim to be the best writer on Wikipedia at all (far from it) but sourcing and content creation is the best area you can work in, and if you can get the skills to do it, you can earn a lot of respect. Some food for thought, anyway.

My personal preference is to list issues (which nominators can then strike or mark "done") against. For example, you have said there are no spelling or grammar errors, though a quick search to prove this brought up "maneuvers that were not physically possible" - unless that's a US English thing, that should be "manoeuvres". For an article of 28K, I think a lead of three paragraphs is probably too long and should be cut down a little bit. I would look through the article carefully, and bring up any item of prose that breaks your reading flow. As you read the text, check all the inline citations you come across, and check carefully that the facts in the article correlate exactly to what's in the prose. Moving forward, I'd suggest putting a post on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Video games to see if you can get a GA reviewer with experience of this topic to help you - it seems to be quite an active project, so hopefully you'll get a quick response.

Hello. Thanks once again for handling the GA review of Thunderbirds (TV series) at the end of last year. I realise that this is a very broad question, but do you have any ideas as to what should or could be done to get the article from GA to FA standard? I'd greatly appreciate any suggestions, as unfortunately the TV WikiProject lacks a centralised A-Class review process.

I wouldn't say that the article has much room for expansion; it's more or less complete (and if anything, should probably be shortened).

@SuperMarioMan: - Hi. A Class reviews seem to be few and far between. It's only really WP:MILHIST that has enough editors to have sufficient knowledge to do them. I think you're right that it should be cut down, but we did quite a lot of that in the GA review.

The best thing to do is have a couple of editors you work well with who have FA experience, for example Red Phoenix who took Sega Genesis to GA and FA, might know somebody who's got the in-depth knowledge of Thunderbirds necessary. Eric Corbett and John (FA writers par excellence with a particular flair for copyediting) kept Quatermass and the Pit at FA recently, and might be of the right age to remember Thunderbirds first time around - they tend to be busy with lots of requests for help but it never hurts to ask.

I've had to conclude that FAs are not my thing, I can do the research and my prose skills are okay, but not great, which is fine for a GA, but for an FA you need professional quality prose and a strong skill with the Manual of Style, both of which feel too much like hard work for me. I've got nothing against anyone else taking articles through FAC, fair play to them, but I don't think I can do it myself without being on a team.

I've got a short attention span. I can hold it together for a GA, then I start staring out the window and thinking "what else is new?" It's probably the same reason I like jamming and mixing up setlists. Definitely teams are the way to go - Scott does the sourcing, Virgil checks for comprehensiveness and being on-topic, Brains checks the MOS and Lady Penelope copyedits. Even for stuff like Reculver, which I was only peripherally involved in the FA review, felt like a hard slog and it wasn't even my nomination!

As long as you see typos, it's probably me! But I tend to get impatient at promotionalism, and sometimes do go overboard and judge more by intent than I ought to do. It's one of the dangers of doing too much NPP. I rely on others to correct me--such as you, and I never use G11 single handed.

That's fine. If you read the article it does look like Just Another Web Forum anyway. My initial thoughts were "am I looking at the same DGG who rescues thousands of G13 submissions?" but I then remembered back to last Friday when I started expanding an article from a book, got tired, saved it and woke up the next day to find a whole bunch of silly spelling mistakes and MOS errors fixed. I think it's fine to recognise we all make mistakes, and if you do a lot of NPP, statistics are going to say you'll get them more often than others. I tend to avoid CSDs unless it's really important the article goes immediately, most obviously attack pages, obvious vandalism and copyvios.

I've done the DYK, and it's here. Since I don't think you've touched the article, I guess you could review it. If this does eventually pass a GA review it'll be the first CSD -> GA I've done.

I haven't got anything else to hand. On related note to the comment on your page, the sort of people who frequent golf clubs are not the sort of people who would happily take pictures of architecure and release them for free - hence why the majority of shots are taken from the main road. Eastwell Park, by contrast, is a little more accessible due to the proliferation of public footpaths across it, which I don't think the owners and residents are especially happy about (as it lets any old oaf like me walk across the premises) but are legally powerless to prevent. This is Google Street View's shot of the northwest towers, but obviously that can't be used here.

Yes, it's looking Ok now, the problem is how much architectural stuff to have on a fairly shortish page. I suppose there ought to be some stuff about the gold courses too.

I dropped in a brief description of the courses, but I think anything else, unless it comes from a neutral account in a newspaper or non-golf magazine that it comes across too much as advertising.
