Agree Best article I found on Bobby Timmons, even in books. Many (hard to find) informations from newspaper articles. No prejudices as common on Timmons, spans lifeapects continously. -- Room 608 10:52, 24 March 2014 (UTC)

Just a quick note to apologise for not getting back to this sooner. I've had a hard time getting a block of, say, twenty uninterrupted minutes lately, but will do my best in the forthcoming days. The Rambling Man (talk) 18:22, 31 March 2014 (UTC)

Comments nice work again.

• Year ranges per WP:DATERANGE don't need to repeat centuries if they're the same.

Changed one heading, although "summer 1961 to 74" sounds odd read out: does the rule apply when a period of one year is specified?

I've reverted so it should fix your concern and I'll pipe down! The Rambling Man (talk) 11:51, 2 April 2014 (UTC)

• Would link sideman as it's not obvious to non-experts what this role entails.

Linked in lead and first mention in main text.

• "plus several " not keen on "plus"

Changed to "and".

• Why not link Philadelphia Musical Academy?

Must have missed that one. Thanks.

• "hard bop" is mentioned in the infobox, refs and cats, but not in the prose.

Categories/genres... I don't like them; changed to "jazz" in infobox and removed "hard bop" from cats. The ref is a title that includes "soul jazz", which is in the main text.

• "a time[7])," move that ref out to behind the punctuation.

7 is for what is within the brackets, so should appear within them, too.

• "his second, final," second and final?

I think that the current version is less ambiguous: "second and final" could be two things (second... and third, which was the last); the singular "recording" removes the ambiguity, but not having it to begin with is preferable, I think.

Comments indented above. Thanks for the review and let me know if more is needed. EddieHugh (talk) 11:14, 2 April 2014 (UTC)

All good for me, nice work. The Rambling Man (talk) 11:51, 2 April 2014 (UTC)

Compositions

I was expecting to see Timmons' actual compositions under the "Compositions" heading... shouldn't a list of his compositions be implemented there?

–Adamilo (talk) 22:45, 14 June 2019 (UTC)

Presenting notable ones in the main body of the article is preferred, so no. For musicians, a discography is often presented as little more than a list in stubby articles, but compositions, for some reason, are not, and the latter point holds for better articles, such as this one. An alternative is to create a new article, as in List of compositions by Thelonious Monk. EddieHugh (talk) 23:03, 14 June 2019 (UTC)
