Talk:Hank Williams/Archive 4

Drug abuse in lead section
Should we include "Several years of back pain, as well as recreational and prescription drug abuse, severely deteriorated Williams' health" in the lead section? I think that Alcohol is a recreational drug, and should be mentioned as such, but if not, I think keeping Alcoholism as is would be fine with me. Thoughts?

 * I think it would be proper to just keep alcoholism there.-- GD uwen    Tell me!   16:26, 17 December 2013 (UTC)

Garden Spot Recordings
I thought this may be of interest -- it's from a program on NPR's All Things Considered Sunday program. The title is: "Six Decades Later, A Long-Lost Hank Williams Recording Resurfaces."

http://www.npr.org/2014/05/18/313714331/six-decades-later-a-long-lost-hank-williams-recording-resurfaces

I don't know if is possible to incorporate this into the entry here or not. Rissa, copy editor 22:11, 18 May 2014 (UTC)


 * It sure is, thanks for the hint. I just added a paragraph on it under "Legacy".-- GD uwen    Tell me!   17:58, 19 May 2014 (UTC)

SOUND SPELLINGS
DO YOU REALLY THINK PEOPLE ACTUALLY CANNOT PRONOUNCE HANK WILLIAMS? How badly are you looking to insult the people who view this site?--24.186.96.236 (talk) 18:23, 21 May 2015 (UTC)


 * Not everybody who reads the English Wikipedia is a native speaker of English. A person might be able to read and understand English, but nobody said that everybody knows the pronunciation. To a native speaker it might sound ridiculous, but you can see anyway in dictionaries and encyclopedias that the IPA tends to be included. Besides, does it really help to delete content that really does not do any harm?-- GD uwen    Tell me!   19:13, 21 May 2015 (UTC)

I don't think a soul on Earth would have trouble pronouncing a name as easy as this. When did Wikipedia become so condescending?--24.186.96.236 (talk) 14:03, 10 June 2015 (UTC)


 * It's not condescending, as I said, you can see the IPA in a number of dictionaries and encyclopedias. You may think that pronouncing the name is actually easy, but believe me that many non-native speakers can't nail the sound on that "a" in "Hank" (I heard a couple of cases). Anyway, I don't see why so much fuzzing about a little IPA thing next to the name! It doesn't seem a big deal to me. I don't see why to delete it, but I'm not about to restore it every single time it gets erased anyway.-- GD uwen    Tell me!   18:23, 10 June 2015 (UTC)
