Improved to Good Article status by TheSandDoctor (talk) at 00:38, 25 April 2019 (UTC). Nominated by Trillfendi (talk) at 19:26, 30 April 2019 (UTC). Co-nominated by TheSandDoctor (talk) at 19:39, 30 April 2019 (UTC)

@Trillfendi: I was planning to nominate this later today actually haha. Mind if I add myself as a co-nom Trillfendi? --TheSandDoctor ^Talk 19:29, 30 April 2019 (UTC)

@TheSandDoctor: Of course you deserve co-nomination. You did the heavy lifting. I thought I put both names haha. Trillfendi (talk) 19:32, 30 April 2019 (UTC)

~~The template apparently doesn't like to be duplicated and won't let me. We shall just have to consider this 50/50 then Trillfendi ;)~~ --TheSandDoctor ^Talk 19:37, 30 April 2019 (UTC)

Got it --TheSandDoctor ^Talk 19:39, 30 April 2019 (UTC)

Article was promoted to GA within allocated time slot (was promoted on April 25 and nominated 5 days later). Earwig is 87.9%, which is unusually high, but they appear to be catching quotes that are properly attributed. I'd prefer ALT1 or ALT2 (although AGF on the offline source for ALT2). Trillfendi has only 2 DYK credits so no QPQ needed. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 18:57, 9 May 2019 (UTC)

Hi, I came by to promote this, but I'm surprised that the GA review didn't note that several paragraphs have no citations. Cites are required at DYK per Rule D2. I tagged a few; there are also uncited entries under the Guitars and Amplifiers sections. Yoninah (talk) 14:08, 12 May 2019 (UTC)

@Yoninah:

Done I believe I have addressed those citations to the best of my knowledge. Trillfendi (talk) 15:10, 12 May 2019 (UTC)

@Trillfendi: thank you. I noted other entries that lack cites. Yoninah (talk) 15:27, 12 May 2019 (UTC)

@Yoninah:

Done Did what I could to fill those in. I had to simply remove one though because from what I saw there could be no verification of it as info relied on fan forums (grievously... including the Wikipedia page of it). Trillfendi (talk) 21:26, 12 May 2019 (UTC)

I have also removed a blogspot reference (not sure how that got there....) and have managed to reduce "timeisonourside" references to a single paragraph I am debating about just removing entirely. Like iorr, timeisonourside is nothing more than a fansite. Again, I am not sure how these references got in there as I did check for these when nominating (then again, that was over a year ago now). I will work more on this tomorrow when I get the time. --TheSandDoctor ^Talk 05:53, 14 May 2019 (UTC)

@TheSandDoctor: thank you. Let me know when you're finished. Yoninah (talk) 19:05, 14 May 2019 (UTC)

@Yoninah: Section I was talking about has been cleared. I was able to find another source to partially salvage some of the paragraph, but ultimately had to remove the majority of the paragraph. --TheSandDoctor ^Talk 03:46, 15 May 2019 (UTC)

Thank you. Restoring tick per HickoryOughtShirt?4's review. Yoninah (talk) 22:57, 19 May 2019 (UTC)

@TheSandDoctor: I'm leaning toward using ALT1, but the Jagger/Richard image doesn't go with it. Would it be appropriate to use the image in the infobox? The image of him with the 1953 Fender Telecaster just doesn't look sharp at thumbnail size. Yoninah (talk) 23:50, 19 May 2019 (UTC)

@Trillfendi: What are your thoughts? --TheSandDoctor ^Talk 23:52, 19 May 2019 (UTC)

@TheSandDoctor: go with whatever you choose. Trillfendi (talk) 23:57, 19 May 2019 (UTC)

Never mind, let's go with the first image and ALT2. Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 20:33, 21 May 2019 (UTC)
