@GDuwen: Good article. 
AGF on sources I can't access. Onegreatjoke (talk) 21:39, 4 September 2023 (UTC)
@GDuwen, AirshipJungleman29, Onegreatjoke, Therapyisgood, Schwede66, BennyOnTheLoose, and Firefangledfeathers: given that the issues raised at WP:ERRORS and also at Talk:Jimmie Rodgers haven't been addressed yet, and it was about to hit the queues again, I'm now reopening this. Personally I do think the number of fair use music clips needs to be reduced drastically before go-live and also they shouldn't be used in multiple locations.

- Agree, let's just focus the discussion on the article's talk page.--GDuwenHoller! 18:21, 29 September 2023 (UTC)
- @Z1720: Following the pointers they gave me on Talk:Jimmie Rodgers#Non-free files, I removed a number of files just leaving the two I considered absolutely necessary to illustrate his singing style and yodel. Other than that, I also filled the templates. I consider that the requests were satisfied.--GDuwenHoller! 18:43, 18 October 2023 (UTC)
- @Onegreatjoke: As the original reviewer, can you determine if this is ready for Main Page now? Z1720 (talk) 18:48, 18 October 2023 (UTC)
- Also pinging Amakuru, who removed this from prep, to make sure they're satisfied as well. BlueMoonset (talk) 00:45, 20 October 2023 (UTC)
