Thanks for reviewing this. —Ojorojo (talk) 18:20, 5 April 2020 (UTC)
Infobox edit
- 45 rpm record → 7-inch (few people know the rpm, but they are familia with the 7-inch format)
- I doubt many people who bought or played these when they were popular knew or thought of them as "7-inch". 45 rpm was usually printed on the record label, so the correct speed could be selected on the turntable (the choices being 33, 45, and 78 – "7-inch" etc. was not used). However, added clarification. —Ojorojo (talk) 18:20, 5 April 2020 (UTC)
- country rock → no source given and it should be on the body of the article, as well
Lead edit
- in April 1967 → in April 1967 by Atco Records
- Written by Stephen Stills → Written by Stephen Stills and produced by the latter along with co-production by Ahmet Ertegun
- It was released as a follow-up to their hit "For What It's Worth", despite not being as commercially successful
- Add the meaning of the song's lyrics, menton it peaked at number seven on the Billboard Hot 100 and critics thoughs on the track
Background edit
- "For What It's Worth" → add release date in between brackets
- "Bluebird" became Buffalo Springfield's fourth single, backed with "Mr.Soul" → "Bluebird" became Buffalo Springfield's fourth single, with "Mr.Soul" as a B-Side.
- It also appears on several Buffalo Springfield anthologies, including → very bias "It also appears on several Buffalo Springfield albums, including
- although he...Young left the group soon after → although the latter...he left the group soon after
- anthology → bias
Composition and recording edit
- April 4, 1967, is the only session date that has been identified, although the song required multiple overdubs → According to various sources, "Bluebird" only took one session date to record, April 4, 1967, although the song required multiple overdubs
- This would change the meaning, since the sources don't say that it was completed on this date. —Ojorojo (talk) 18:20, 5 April 2020 (UTC)
- Try this instead, "There was only one session date that has been identified, April 4, 1967, although the song required multiple overdubs. The sentence shouldn't begun with the date, unless is "On April 5, 2020". MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 20:12, 5 April 2020 (UTC)

References edit
- AllMusic and BMI are not work
- I used the current Template:Cite web#Parameters guidance
|website=
(appears the same as work): "Do not use the publisher parameter for the name of a work (e.g. a website, book, encyclopedia, newspaper, magazine, journal, etc.)". There are conflicting views on this issue, see RfC and follow-up.—18:20, 5 April 2020 (UTC)
- This a matter that should have been solved a long time ago. Furthermore, if you use website=/work= parameters it will always have the text in italics. If you go to Wikipedia:WikiProject_Albums/Sources it is not in italics. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 20:16, 5 April 2020 (UTC)
- This has been brought up again at WT:ALBUMS#Should AllMusic and other non-periodical websites be italicized? I wouldn't expect a resolution anytime soon, but will keep this in mind. —Ojorojo (talk) 13:30, 6 April 2020 (UTC)

Overall edit
- You can now address the issues I raised. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 17:13, 4 April 2020 (UTC)
- I left you a note on "Composition and recording" and "References". That's it. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 20:15, 5 April 2020 (UTC)
- Shouldn't you have a personnel section?
- All the participants and their instruments are identified in prose, so a separate section is unneeded. Also, see MOS:OVERSECTION: "Very short or very long sections and subsections in an article look cluttered and inhibit the flow of the prose. Short paragraphs and single sentences generally do not warrant their own subheading." —Ojorojo (talk) 13:30, 6 April 2020 (UTC)
