Hello again and thanks. This looks pretty straight forward and shouldn't take much time. —Ojorojo (talk) 15:49, 26 December 2019 (UTC)

Infobox and lead

 * WikiLink Jimi Hendrix under songwriter
 * JH already linked once in artist= (overlink?) —Ojorojo (talk) 15:49, 26 December 2019 (UTC)

 * Linked. —Ojorojo (talk) 20:00, 28 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Added. —Ojorojo (talk) 15:49, 26 December 2019 (UTC)

 * Done. —Ojorojo (talk) 15:49, 26 December 2019 (UTC)


 * "Eddie Kramer and drummer" → "Eddie Kramer, and drummer" to differentiate them
 * Added. —15:49, 26 December 2019 (UTC)

 * Done. —Ojorojo (talk) 15:49, 26 December 2019 (UTC)

Composition and lyrics

 * Think you could add a pic here possibly?
 * This has come up before. I don't know of any "Hey Baby"/The Cry of Love Tour/1970-period photos in the public domain, so they could only be added under a claim of being "irreplaceable historically significant"; justifying the right photo(s) would be difficult. —Ojorojo (talk) 17:57, 26 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Actually, this is getting a bit frustrating. There are many amateur photos of Hendrix out there that don't show copyright marks. I'm tempted to upload some that I've never seen on albums, books, films, etc. and see what happens. —Ojorojo (talk) 18:15, 27 December 2019 (UTC)


 * "In the following months at the Record Plant in New York City, Hendrix attempted more recordings of the song." → "In the months following on from recording at TTG studios, Hendrix attempted more recordings of the song at the Record Plant in New York City." to specify
 * Changed. —Ojorojo (talk) 17:57, 26 December 2019 (UTC)


 * "used a minor-key chord progression reminiscent" is this of his version of the song? If so, change WikiLink to "All Along the Watchtower"

 * Simplified. —Ojorojo (talk) 22:15, 26 December 2019 (UTC)


 * "Hendrix's prefaces the song" → "Hendrix introduces the song"

 * Changed. —Ojorojo (talk) 17:57, 26 December 2019 (UTC)

Recording and studio releases

 * Done. —Ojorojo (talk) 17:57, 26 December 2019 (UTC)


 * "the second posthumous album produced" → "Hendrix's second posthumous album, produced"
