Hi. I'd like to personally apologies for my hasty comments on the FAC, which is otherwise now heading towards promotion, and for the inadvertent, late at night, deletion of a source etc. Its a great article and you should be proud, my only intention was to add polish and given a shared interest (although I dont like Clapton too much I loovvve Ginger[1], hope there is no hard feelings.

I welcome sincere apologies. As mentioned on the review page, I have some ideas, but it will have to wait until tomorrow. Baker is a great drummer and a real character. Thanks. —Ojorojo (talk) 18:48, 26 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I reached out to a past reviewer who is very good at stylistic issues (word choice, phrasing, flow, etc.) They are familiar with music articles and could be quite helpful. It's a holiday weekend, so it might take a little while. It's a start. —Ojorojo (talk) 15:28, 27 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

They feel that their assistance isn't needed. The idea was to get a neutral party. The Guild of Copy Editors may be helpful, but often aren't that familiar with musical concepts and terminology. Any other suggestions? —Ojorojo (talk) 18:24, 28 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

No worries. My *concerns* were nit picky and really preferences, in the cold light of day, so whatever. I really like the article though, so look congrats on the impending promotion :) Ceoil (talk) 01:03, 2 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Thanks. Ian Rose added some polish and promoted it. All's well that ends well! —Ojorojo (talk) 14:15, 2 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Congratulations, Ojorojo! The article you nominated, Cross Road Blues, has been promoted to featured status, recognizing it as one of the best articles on Wikipedia. The nomination discussion has been archived.

This is a rare accomplishment and you should be proud. If you would like, you may nominate it to appear on the Main page as Today's featured article. Keep up the great work! Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) via FACBot (talk) 00:05, 3 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Good job! Viriditas (talk) 23:33, 3 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Great job on this! I'm always glad to see more music topics become featured articles. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 19:50, 6 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Fantastic work! There's nothing quite like that first Featured Article. Tkbrett (✉) 12:47, 9 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hey Ojorojo. I am trying to improve the Lovin' Spoonful discography page in the hopes of getting it up as a Featured List. I haven't nominated any list articles before though, so I was hoping you could help me make sure it all looks good. I have used some of the formatting you employed at the Jimi Hendrix discography article. I still need citations for several of the compilation albums, but otherwise I'm not sure if anything else is needed. Cheers. Tkbrett (✉) 12:49, 9 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hey Ojorojo, if you're around, I just nominated the discography article and would appreciate any comments if you have the time. Thanks. Tkbrett (✉) 13:46, 4 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

The Writer's Barnstar

Great job and congratulations on the successful featured article candidacy. The interesting thing about Wikipedia is that it's a great outlet as a writer, particularly for niche subjects, historical events, or anything else of importance that has affected the world in some way. I hope you keep channeling that energy that drove you to work so tirelessly, and I hope you get another article (music or otherwise) featured! ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 23:25, 6 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

We haven't seen you around for a while, so I hope things are OK. You might want to chip in at Talk:Origins of rock and roll#Requested move 29 November 2023. Ghmyrtle (talk) 15:36, 6 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I just spent three hours listening to Sam Cooke. When I was finished, I visited Wikipedia to learn more, only to discover that his biography is a total mess. Since you're one of our best music writers, would you have any interest in taking a look at it? Thanks for any time you can spend on this. Viriditas (talk) 20:15, 31 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
