Talk:Chuck Berry/Archive 2

"Chuck Berry songs"
I've moved the "Chuck Berry songs" section to the talk page as it's a train wreck. It's wholly unsourced and littered with [citation needed] tags. If you can provide references for some of this information, feel free to re-add the information to the article. Thanks. --MZMcBride (talk) 21:44, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

Chuck Berry template?
Many major artists have collapsible navigation templates at the bottom of their song and album articles. Berry really ought to have one. I'm busy with other things... Is someone else up for the job? &mdash; John Cardinal (talk) 13:49, 31 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Update: I made a template "Chuck Berry" and added studio and live albums to it. I added the template to the studio album articles. I'll do more later, but I don't know much about Berry's career and it would be better if other editors would take over... &mdash; John Cardinal (talk) 18:16, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

Improvement
I'm gathering some research and intend to bring this article up to FA status. If anyone would like to collaborate, please let me know and we can work together. Thanks! --Spike Wilbury ♫ talk  21:13, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

Links working?
I'm not getting all the links to the correct pages of the Bruce Pegg book, for example footnote nº 37. Can anyone fix it? Rothorpe (talk) 20:36, 16 March 2010 (UTC)


 * I just checked it, and it was OK for me.  SilkTork  *YES! 10:44, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

Incorrectly dated picture
The picture with caption "in France in 1957" is actually from 1987, according to the source information, and the picture's appearance confirms this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.83.90.253 (talk) 17:57, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

Why did he never go back to studios or wrote a new song?
I was try to find if chuck said why he never went back to studio or wrote a new song, bob dylan re-born also johnny cash, kris kristofferson, etc, would be amaizing if chuck write a lot of new songs and go back to studios —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.208.215.216 (talk) 22:01, 12 September 2010 (UTC)
 * None of the books I have say anything about why he hasn't returned to the studio, so we could only speculate. --Spike Wilbury (talk) 17:32, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

Please replace with, which is more specific and not so incredibly large in size.

Videotaping allegiations/trial
Seems there should be an entry for this somewhere. It was a pretty big event when the story broke in the late 80s and it lasted until 1994 as far as I can tell when he settled out of court. Seems like an important event in his personal and public life. http://news.google.com/newspapers?id=xaYaAAAAIBAJ&sjid=0S0EAAAAIBAJ&pg=6477%2C21755 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.34.102.40 (talk) 21:36, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

Birth date
The article says that Berry was born on October 18, 1926 (and hence is currently 83), sourced by: http://www.history-of-rock.com/berry.htm

I’m not too sure about the reliability of that source and other sources, but I think it’s reasonable to point out that Berry claimed himself that he was 84 in a concert apparently from this year. This might have been an error on his part (more likely when he is a man of such an age range), but as said I think it’s worth pointing out.

I've noticed in the past that Chuck Berry's birth place seems to be disputed. If you Google Chuck Berry birthplace, you will find a significant number of listings show he was born in San Jose, CA. Thats not to say its proof that he was born there, but it might be worth noting that his birthplace seems to be an ongoing debate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.39.108.115 (talk) 22:39, 26 August 2011 (UTC)

The 1930 census for St. Louis, Missouri, clearly lists the household of Henry and Martha Berry, with four children, the youngest being Charles age 3 (which implies that his fourth birthday occurred after the official census date). He, his siblings and his father were all listed as born in Missouri, his mother in Mississippi. So, no, there's no dispute regarding his birthplace. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Colonel Mayfair (talk • contribs) 06:35, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

Album article missing
There are individual articles on each of Chuck Berry's albums, including compilations and rereleases, yet there is no article for Chuck Berry's Golden Hits, his 1967 inaugural album for Mercury records, which consisted of all-new recordings of his Chess songs, plus one brand-new song. While the rest of Berry's Mercury catalog rests in obscurity, Golden Hits continues to be available, so surely it rates an article? 70.72.211.35 (talk) 17:16, 27 November 2012 (UTC)

 * at Chuck Berry's Golden Hits. Please check that the infobox chronology of all his 1967 albums is correct.  Thanks!  GoingBatty (talk) 02:23, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
