Hi, I'll review this soon. I saw him play a few years ago. FunkMonk (talk) 18:56, 14 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I think the author information on the infobox picture seems suspicious. You have one person listed as a photographer, but the username of the uploader is another given name.

Done Replaced image --Ilovetopaint (talk) 00:53, 18 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

What's his mom's name, and what did she do? Seems like pretty standard info for a bio.

Not done I found that sources mention nothing specific about his mother --Ilovetopaint (talk) 00:53, 18 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Why is Phonography and other albums listed under compilations? According to what? Could be good to put a source somewhere.

I'm not sure I understand the question. Those are all officially released compilations, which is why they are listed under "compilations". Whereas the "official studio albums" consist of new material recorded specially for a label. --Ilovetopaint (talk) 00:53, 18 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

But in what way is Phonography (album) a compilation? It's article says no such thing. So what is this label based on? FunkMonk (talk) 01:36, 19 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Phonography did not consist of new material recorded specially for a label. It was a mixtape created by Harry Palmer and pressed to vinyl. All of Moore's compilations are curated in that way.

Phonography is actually a compilation. It’s my first vinyl record, but it’s really a compilation of songs that were on my reels, five six or seven different reels, all pulled together by Uncle Harry.

That's kind of interesting, worth noting in the article then. FunkMonk (talk) 18:59, 19 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Done although I thought this was already clarified under "Discography".--Ilovetopaint (talk) 04:30, 20 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, I meant the information that is alluded to in the quote. FunkMonk (talk) 04:52, 20 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Seems this is the last remaining issue. FunkMonk (talk) 14:55, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure if you're asking for the entire quote to be included - I thought I had added the relevant info two weeks ago --Ilovetopaint (talk) 13:39, 5 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No, I mean the fact that his first album was compiled by his uncle. It is interesting to note, since it seems his uncle pushed him into getting anywhere. FunkMonk (talk) 16:10, 5 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It's there --Ilovetopaint (talk) 23:20, 5 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, you didn't announce here that you had made the change, tough. FunkMonk (talk) 23:24, 5 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

"He continued to produce music and play gigs" It's always good to name the subject at the beginning of a new section.

Done--Ilovetopaint (talk) 00:53, 18 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It would be normal practice to stay somewhere if he has a spouse or kids.

Not done Would have added those details if I came across them in the sources.--Ilovetopaint (talk) 00:53, 18 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No word on music videos? Or at least that there seem to be promo-videos of some sort from the Uncle Floyd Show.

I'm not sure he's ever had a real music video, just home movies and public-access television appearances.--Ilovetopaint (talk) 00:53, 18 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No sources go into those?FunkMonk (talk) 01:46, 19 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No, and I've never stumbled upon any on YouTube.--Ilovetopaint (talk) 18:43, 19 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

"'60s-inspired power pop in the XTC vein," The intro should not have unique info.
"which contain many of his most popular songs." Likewise.
"who frequently praised Moore as his "mentor" Likewise.

Done all above--Ilovetopaint (talk) 00:53, 18 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This looks good to me now, so will pass it. FunkMonk (talk) 23:24, 5 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
