WP:LEAD

Why did you unlink even the first use of these charts and "Satisfaction"? Also, some of the changes make the grammar incorrect (e.g., "peaked at number 20 on Billboard Hot 100 and at number 85 on Hot R&B." or "former peaked at number 25 on Billboard Hot 100 chart and at number 4 on Hot R&B chart"). In addition, the names you delinked should only include the last name after first use (Franklin, Dunn, etc.).--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 13:06, 7 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • I know all about price index problems, but the point is not run around inflating things for the component price change of the individual item. That is not a proper thing for an encyclopedia to task itself with doing. General price levels are indicative and certainly better than nothing. It might be better if we could find out what a person makes for doing the same job today, but that is not a tractable thing to do. General price levels do help the reader.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 17:17, 5 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    • I reverted and adjusted the template--GoPTCN 10:45, 6 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
      • We need some sort of acknowledgement from Trekphiler so that there is not an edit war.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 14:58, 6 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
        • I disagree with putting it in, & I'd be happier if the adjustment was left off, but I'm not inclined to edit war over it. If others are strongly enough in support, I'll leave it.
        • "the point is not run around inflating things for the component price change of the individual item" That leaves me really confused. As said, I'd far rather the comparison be to comparable things. Is there info on weekly/daily wages at the time? (I'd tend to think there is.) So, is there a strong objection to saying, "Redding earned $6 for the gig at Foo (equal to a day's pay for a janitor)"? Or whatever equivalent is apt? If it's not available, so be it; if it is...

Red XNYou are still not using the templates correctly. the 2012 in as of 2012 should use a template so it automatically updates.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 13:12, 7 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Although I can not say what the FAC folks will think, this article is very close to meeting WP:WIAGA. I am going to put it on hold. Please continute to respond to the concerns on the subsequent line.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 22:42, 1 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your review. I will try to expand the lead. Regards.--GoPTCN 08:36, 2 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thanks. First I need the books listed in the further reading section to expand the sections if possible, then I will submit this to FAC :). Regards.--GoPTCN 18:51, 7 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
