2018 plans

Article said ”Anderson plans to release the album in three parts, with a tour currently following the first part, which he wants to document on film.<ref name="azcentral" /><ref name="ultimateclassicrock.com Jon Anderson Finishing Album">{{cite web |url=http://ultimateclassicrock.com/jon-anderson-solo-album-2018/ |title=Jon Anderson Finishing Album He Started 27 Years Ago (by Martin Kielty) |date= January 2018 |website=Ultimateclassicrock.com |access-date= 29 August 2018}}</ref>”. These plans have presumably been met, or not met, by now. I’ve moved the comment here so that hopefully someone who knows the topic can bring it up to date as it doesn’t make much sense in the article in its current form.--Northernhenge (talk) 22:39, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Jon or John?

After recent edits the lede now simply reads "John Roy Anderson" with no clarification, while another editor insists that a legal name change would be necessary to justify indicating his stage name here. Obviously he is known as "Jon Anderson" to the public, which is the context for this article's existence and the notability of the topic.

Noting the birth name separately from the commonly known stage name (which he has used for almost every notable public performance or release in his career) would aid clarity. My suggestion would be to revise this to one of the following:

• "Jon Anderson (born John Roy Anderson…"

or

• "John Roy Anderson, known professionally as Jon Anderson…"
