Placeholder, review is underway 웃OO 01:06, 3 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Right off the bat, there are three cn tags in the guitars section. 웃OO 01:15, 3 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Nice of you to take on this assessment. I just re-did those cite requests and added a new blockquote which looked useful. Looking forward to your next comments and assessments. ErnestKrause (talk) 01:53, 3 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Big Jim secured a job as an asbestos worker, an occupation that involved rigorous manual effort." that second part is unnecessary.
  • What makes findagrave.com in ref 4 and 7 a reliable source?
  • Switch cite to Crawford book reference and ups.com Obituary notices. ErnestKrause (talk) 15:47, 3 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • "...and played various gigs across the South, though many of them were disastrous" disastrous feels a bit like an overstatement here.
  • Switch wording to 'unsuccessful,' instead of disastrous. ErnestKrause (talk) 15:53, 3 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • "The performance was filmed and later released on DVD in September 2004." Citation needed.
  • Cite added. ErnestKrause (talk) 15:35, 3 February 2022 (UTC)*"that he was an essential aspect of the album's groundbreaking success." groundbreaking feels more like a matter of opinion.[reply]
  • Unitallicize Allmusic in Couldn't Stand the Weather and in Further reading. Also, in the refs for Allmusic. label it as publisher=Allmusic instead of work=Allmusic.
  • Changes italic in all instances. Both cites in Further reading changed to 'publisher.' ErnestKrause (talk) 15:58, 3 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • " which made Vaughan extremely excited and nervous as he did not calm down until halfway through the third song" again, extremely feels like an overstatement.
  • Change to 'overexcited and nervous' to avoid exaggeration. ErnestKrause (talk) 16:03, 3 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Almost the entire death section is uncited and is the most glaring issue thus far.
  • This section is only a brief summary for the Main article that has over a dozen cites for this. Adding 3 cites from Main article for completeness. ErnestKrause (talk) 16:16, 3 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Ref 188 has no page number, though for me this is a minor issue.
  • Mike McCready has a double link.
  • "In 1994 the city of Austin, Texas, erected the Stevie Ray Vaughan Memorial on the hiking trail beside Lady Bird Lake." citation needed.
  • What makes Songfacts a reliable source?
  • For ref 184, provide the name of the TV show he was in and put YouTube in via=YouTube.
  • Ref 192, 193 and 194 and 228 don't have properly formatted links.
  • ref 217, Change to and link The Grammys.

Biographies aren't really my specialty for editing, so if you are to take it to FA, I reccommend giving it a peer review from others probably more proficient at it than me. I do feel like I've learned a thing or two from reading this article! Once these issues are resolved I'll gladly pass it. 웃OO 05:10, 3 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Should be up to date. Ready for next set of edit comments when available. ErnestKrause (talk) 16:55, 3 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I'm just curious why you format the links for refs 71 and 231 like so: [1] 웃OO 01:15, 4 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
They should all be in cite web format. All of them should be formatted at this time. Ready for next set of edit comments when available. ErnestKrause (talk) 15:36, 4 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That's all I have really! I'm passing this now. 웃OO 00:12, 5 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
