Not sure if this is a problem. 290: 500:

Well, I guess I got left with the ball in my lap, so I've gone ahead and created album pages. I've also uploaded album covers for each of their studio, greatest hits and live albums. To this point, articles have been created for Alabama's first studio album for RCA, their first Christmas album, their

The end of the third paragraph in this section is a bit rigid, sentences seem to start "In 1995 ..." then "In 1996" "In 1997", "In 1998". Could you just reword things a little to make it sound less like a bulleted list year on year. If Alabama's career had become less significant than it had been in

1413:

I've gone through the whole article now. This is a good and comprehensive overview of an important country band and the prose and factual accuracy is generally good. Although there are a lot of issues, all of them seem to be relatively easy things to fix except perhaps the infobox image, and for an

has an appropriate fair use rationale on it. We do allow nonfree images on deceased people, but I don't believe that carries across to bands. The group's name makes it very difficult to find free pictures on Commons, but I can't believe a group of such standing does not have at least one live shot.

History shows that anonymous user 68.221.48.27 posted the comment at 00:22, 17 June 2006. Please sign your comments with four tildes (~). Now, I think the reason the above phrase was so stated is because there seems to be a dispute over how many No. 1 hits Alabama had. Some sources state the number

per Station1 and Thryduulf. Consider also the practical dimension: Donald, an American reader, and Justin, a Canadian reader, are both searching for the band called "Alabama" of their respective nationalities, and put "Alabama (band)" into the search bar. Donald is taken directly where he wants to

2179:

I’m pretty sure even though Alabama had influence from pop music, they aren’t pop country. Their neotraditonal style shines far brighter than their pop side. “Love in the First Degree” and songs like it may seem pop at first, but dig deeper in and you’ll see it sounds just like something Waylon

1538:

I think there were only a few things outstanding to do on this. I've gone in and fixed them myself (mainly just tidying up citations and ensuring that everything is verifiable). The other thing is I'm not sure you can keep the previous non-free image of the band. I appreciate that it contains a

1506:

Okay, that all looks reasonable to me. I generally don't expect a nominator to agree with all of my comments, and as long as they can give reasonable argument against them (as you have), then that's fine. The only outstanding point I think is the "Awards" section. I'm not particularly against

608: 1185:""Take a Little Trip", "Once Upon a Lifetime", and "Hometown Honeymoon" peaking within the top three" - the source given is a "best of country" list but it doesn't have any chart positions. Same problem with the next sentence; the source doesn't seem to verify the information listed 1234:

source citing the last show in 2004 before the split says "Drummer Mark Herndon lightening the mood by declaring, "I need a job."" I think that would be worth putting in the article just to show the band are humans not just something that churns out hit after hit and album after

1348:

I don't think the list of individual awards is necessary here. We have a breakout "awards and nominations page", and it would make sense to put them there, leave the opening paragraph for this section here, and invite the reader to click on the main breakout article to learn

1097:"Mountain Music, released in February 1982, is considered Alabama's last studio album before they encountered superstardom" - considered by whom? And I'd tone down "superstardom" and use some other word such as "mainstream commercial success" (if that's appropriate) 1461:

Right? There is hardly any info out there about their personal lives during this period. I’m sure we’ll get a big ol’ biography on the group one day discussing such matters but in my research for this article it was very difficult to find any info on stuff like

1100:"Christmas in Dixie", a holiday song released in 1982" - I wonder if "seasonal" is better than "holiday". I know "over the holiday season" has become popular recently, but I personally think it's political correctness that hasn't caught on with the layman reader 495:

I know this would be a good project for someone like myself to cover, but isn't it time someone created separate album pages for each of Alabama's albums? Just like the other album pages, these pages would need to include track listings and album images. ]

1238:"Herndon and the other members of Alabama had had their relationship strained over the years" - that makes it sound painful! Suggest something like "Herndon and the other group members had had a difficult relationship during the band's career" 1402:

It's a shame there aren't any free images. Perhaps you could search for venues the band have played. Commons have lots of pictures of public buildings, and if they've got one of what was the Bowery in Myrtle Beach, that would be an ideal

database, it seems to be the convention to give instructions how to locate the information you want to verify. Something like "Type 'Alabama', click on search". In that respect it's not too different from citing a page number in a book

131: 1439:

Considering there’s an entire page dedicated to the myriad of awards the group collected, I preferred the general use of of ‘awards’. It would also make the paragraph longer and I feel citing specific success at award shows is

1304:

This section is a bit short. I'm not sure what can be done to expand it but from reading it it gives the impression they found one sound and stuck to it. I'm sure they varied their sound and style a little bit over the

1471:

Like you said, it’s difficult to expand upon the band’s sound and style. There’s not many sources for this kind of thing. Plus, Alabama’s sound pretty much stayed the same from 1977 to 2003 so there isn’t much I can

1369:"Don Perkey - drums, percussion (back up drummer 1975 - 1978)" - this is the only mention of him in the entire article, as far as I can tell, and therefore his tenure in the band has to be cited to a reliable source 2085:

lineup that has split, but I don't believe that's a valid fair-use rationale unless one of them dies, as all four could reform (however unlikely they think that will be) and somebody could take a free photo then.

1000:"The trio shared at $ 56-a-month apartment in Anniston" - the second (online) source doesn't say that, I'd probably just drop the reference leaving the first one (which, being offline, I have to AGF is correct) 1077:"became their second number one on the Hot Country Singles chart" - per above comment, I'd qualify the first mention of "number one" as being on the country chart (with link) and the rest as just "number one" 1322:

was at least a critical success before Alabama were formed, but that's the exception rather than the rule, I admit (and one could suggest they only became country rock by circumstance rather than design)

This gives you an opportunity to contest the deletion, although please review Commons guidelines before doing so. 1970:. As recently established, the American band is the primary topic among bands named "Alabama". The hatnote to the Canadian band is no more confusing (and possibly less) than an entry on a dab page. 1019:"Unable to secure a record contract, Wildcountry began entering the studio on their own and recording" - suggest "The group could not secure a record contract, and began to self-finance recordings" 2105:- The nomination is inaccurate and some of the earlier !votes may not have been aware of the RfD. Moreover, this has already been discussed at RfD and no new arguments have been presented here. -- 639:

Many of the chart positions listed in the decade-album breakdowns of the main entry are either wrong or bogus. As a result, I have removed any mention of single chart positions in this section.

1080:" "Old Flame" was their next number one in February 1981, followed by "Feels So Right" in May, and "Love in the First Degree" that October." - can you clarify all three of these were number ones 1126:

There's not much towards the end of this section other than just a rundown of their record releases. We did learn that Owen struggled with his father's death, what about the rest of the band?

1196:"that contained two new singles — "How Do You Fall in Love" and "Keepin' Up" — were hits". I'd split the sentence, before "were hits", then continue with "Both new tracks were hits...." 1164:"opting for half produced by" - I think this needs rewording, as "half produced" could be a negative term, like "half assed". Suggest "instead splitting production duties between ..." 563: 2268: 1003:"The quintet decided" - the previous sentence started "The trio". I think I understand from context what is meant here, but it might be simpler to say "The group" to avoid ambiguity 583: 568: 356: 2238: 1468:

I like that they wish him well, but like all things Hollywood, it seems a bit disingenuous. But of course,, no one knows the truth, so I suppose it’s best to include his statement.

For example, this is the THIRD thing mentioned about the band: "In 1973, after Owen's graduation from Jacksonville State University, they gave up their day jobs and weekend gigs."

More importantly, it says the other three have no hard feelings against him and wish him well, which definitely is worth including 1712: 1583: 988:, Gentry was originally the drummer and Owen the bassist. Gentry switched to bass when Owen joined the military, which conflicts the prose that says he went to college. 445: 2263: 1435:

Hey there! Thanks for the review…it’d been so long I’d forgotten I’d nominated this. Any who, let’s get to a few notes. I’ve implemented almost all suggestions, but:

2288: 1083:"Owen's personal life was "falling apart" " - although this is a direct quotation from the source, I don't feel that quote marks are necessary around just two words 435: 824: 102: 1173:"In addition, their singles continued to find outstanding chart success" - I think "outstanding chart success" is too POV - I'd probably just remove this sentence 801: 2228: 908:"lead to their unprecedented success" - I think "unprecedented" is POV, while they might be commercially and critically praised, I don't think they could match 2213: 2223: 902:"and received numerous awards" - this is a little vague, it might be worth just mentioning specific awards such as the five ACM Entertainer of the Year wins 2293: 1241:"This money was allegedly factored" - "allegedly" is a word to watch. As this is a contentious event, stick to specifying exactly who claimed what and when 1028:"The self-recorded and released Alabama Band No. 3 became the band's third album" - what were the first two? I don't think they were mentioned in the prose 85:) policy, even if it is not a biography, because it contains material about living persons. Contentious material about living persons that is unsourced or 411: 2243: 1890:

Per similar discussions, partial disambiguation is confusing and per above if the Canadian band is not notable then it needs to be deleted/merged first.

1446:

It isn’t clear when exactly they all began to play with one another. That hasn’t been covered in the available sources, but it seems to solidify by 1969.

says the group moved to the Bowery, Myrtle Beach, as they heard it was a good place to get paid work. That might be worth dropping into the article.

2278: 1273: 1151:"which sold wildly" - I don't think "wildly" is a particularly encyclopedic term here, how about simply listing chart positions and sales figures 905:"The group disbanded in 2006" - since we've just had "the group" in the previous sentence, might it be better to simply say "They" at this point? 312: 538:

are in the Alabama article? This should be the least controversal article around. Can someone provide examples or should this tag be removed?

2273: 985: 1449:

It’s unclear which came first, the army or college (although my natural inclination is to assume the former). I’ve changed it to army, though.

Don Perkey must have been added by someone else, so that’s gone, considering not many articles list back-up drummers.

That should resolve this. 2181: 86: 722: 682: 966:"and the newly christened Young Country" - I'd simplify this to something like "forming the group Young Country" 848: 1202:"When It All Goes South (2001) was Alabama's next release." - suggest "When It All Goes South followed in 2001" 1091: 1087: 2165: 1697: 1664:

Anyway, in the meantime, all issues have been reasonably resolved, so I can now pass the review. Well done.
