Sober Up led Billboard's Alternative Chart

Sober Up made No. 1 on Billboard's Alternative Music Chart for two weeks- I don't know how to work with tables and I don't know where the information would go, but I think it would be worth worth mentioning. ^[1] ^[2] Dinithi2 (talk) 01:38, 29 May 2018 (UTC)

References

Other Members?

Jimmie Lee Jr. (the trumpeter) is featured in a lot of the videos and almost all the songs. Does anyone know what his relation to the band is? Whether he's a member or just a frequent collaborator? Thanks TypeBlueDoubleSharp (talk) 02:09, 21 March 2019 (UTC) 20 March 2019 22:10

Before the Fame

I think this page does a great job in showing where their information is from. I thick that if possible there should be some more information on before the fame.13579j (talk) 15:58, 17 October 2019 (UTC)13579j

Career section needs restructuring.

The current Career section jumps all over the place between past and present. Parts of it (as of the date of this Talk post) do not meet wiki wording standards. I'll be attempting to restructure it when I'm back at a desktop. Feedback of these edits will be much appreciated. JaredTamana (talk) 20:31, 4 March 2020 (UTC)

Split Major Studio and Self-Released Albums into 2 different tables

Born and Bred, and Venture are both Self-Released Albums that aren't referenced anymore. I say we either get rid of them completely or split them into a different table. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ConstructorRob18 (talk • contribs) 22:29, 13 November 2020 (UTC)

@ConstructorRob18: I would create an "independent album" section and put Born and Bred and Venture under this section. Getting rid of them is a bad idea because these are AJR releases. CountyCountry (talk) 23:25, 13 November 2020 (UTC)

"Bummerland (AJR album)" listed at Redirects for discussion

A discussion is taking place to address the redirect Bummerland (AJR album). The discussion will occur at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2020 November 13#Bummerland (AJR album) until a consensus is reached, and readers of this page are welcome to contribute to the discussion.

Recent changes

Looks like some questionable changes were recently made here. I've fixed up four or five referencing errors that were left by careless edits. But it seems like there was some material removed (or moved?) and added, and I'm not sure the article is in good shape. Is it better to revert to a point before those changes? -- Mikeblas (talk) 00:18, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

Worry about your own "careless" edits (and no, I didn't edit it). And the word 'careless' is meaningless, critical, and totally up to the individual's opinion. Not fact.

Now, as for that FINAL paragraph way at the end, no. Get rid of it. It is badly worded in the typical 'milleniall/Gen Z' fashion of thinking you know someone by using their first name: "Bobby did this, and Bobby on keyboards"... it is a pointless paragraph, and the majority of this 'article' entry is way too long and needs to be condensed. Most people on the planet don't know the name of this band ( I had to look it up after hearing the song for the thousandth time), much less all this other information about them. They are a typical 'one hit wonder', so call it what it is! 98.123.126.45 (talk) 18:06, 10 March 2023 (UTC)

New Image

The image should be replaced with something more up-to-date. The AJR Wiki has this image on it, which I think works well. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MikeKhajiit (talk • contribs) 15:11, 29 April 2021 (UTC)

AJR (band) → AJR – The disambiguation is unnecessary. There is no other AJR article on Wikipedia, and other large touring bands do not have disambiguation at the end of their article titles. Removing it would follow WP:CONCISE. Sheehanpg93 (talk) 00:07, 6 June 2022 (UTC)

Oppose: There is AJR (motorcycle) and other articles where AJR is an abbreiviation of the article title. This band also isn't the primary topic, so the disambiguation is necessary. CountyCountry (talk) 00:45, 6 June 2022 (UTC)

Would an edit to include JJ's real name be necessary?

Under the "Band Members" section, JJ Kirkpatrick is listed as AJR's former trumpet player, keyboardist and percussionist. Would it be a necessary edit to add his full name "Jimmie Lee Jr." in quotes to this section?

Here's my suggested edit, once again this part can be found under the "Band Members" heading. (suggestion in bold):

JJ Kirkpatrick – trumpet, keyboards, percussion → JJ "Jimmie Lee Jr." Kirkpatrick – trumpet, keyboards, percussion

This information can be found first thing on the AJR Fandom wiki. Would this need to be cited as well? And if so would it need to be a more primary source?
