I've done some work towards improving this article, and it's led to a couple of questions for someone more knowledgeable about Wikipedia than myself. The first is simple: in the box on the side there is a little bit of code beneath the title. Because it doesn't seem to be present in the edit mode, I'm not sure how it got there or how to get rid of it. Any help with that?

Second, I think that the ranking of this article as low importance in Dylan's work is incorrect, and is probably based on erroneous information, as represented in the article before I revised it. The previous version suggested that the single "Mixed-Up Confusion/Corrina, Corrinna" had never been released, but had been "shelved" by Dylan. Were that true, the song would be no more than a curiosity, but that information is false. Although the single was not a big seller, it was officially released, as I have documented; and indeed, it actually went through several pressings in the U.S. and several more overseas, as one can see exhaustively documented at http://www.searchingforagem.com/1960s/1962.htm So, given that this was in fact Dylan's first officially released single, it has, I think, some claim to historical importance. Perhaps a mid-importance ranking? But who makes such decisions?

I have removed the code, you'd added too much code. As I added the low importance tag, I have happily elevated to mid importance at your suggestion. Nice to see some good work on the article. If you are interested in Dylan, why don't you join the project, knowledgeable, thoughtful people are always welcome. --Richhoncho (talk) 20:29, 4 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Earliest Folk Rock Song?

I have read before that "Mixed-Up Confusion" is considered to be one of the earliest, if not the earliest folk rock song. As the article states, it is unlike the other songs on the Freewheelin'' album and beat by a couple of years the release of "Like a Rolling Stone". My books and records went down with Katrina, so I don't know where I read this, but I have heard the same thing said about "Like a Rolling Stone". That deserves to be said in this article IMHO.
