 * I'll just grab this one while I can... FunkMonk (talk) 04:57, 4 September 2018 (UTC)
 * As usual, some duplinks.
 * Oh yeah, I did those, edit conflicted with FlightTime who was fixing something else, and forgot to redo them. Fixed. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  14:54, 4 September 2018 (UTC)


 * Give a date for the Hindenburg disaster in the article and caption?
 * Done Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  14:54, 4 September 2018 (UTC)


 * Sources for notes?
 * Done Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  14:54, 4 September 2018 (UTC)


 * I don't think the title "Live – Olympia, Paris, France, 10 October 1969" should have links under the tracklisting, it should be in the preceding prose.
 * Good point. Trimmed Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  14:54, 4 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Maybe Olympia could be mentioned and linked in the prose. FunkMonk (talk) 20:49, 4 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Done, though Olympia (Paris) is in a bit of a sorry state - I can't believe the most important thing in the lead is which Metro station it's near! <b style="color:#7F007F">Ritchie333</b> <sup style="color:#7F007F">(talk) <sup style="color:#7F007F">(cont)  21:24, 4 September 2018 (UTC)


 * "a tour Scandinavia" Tour of?
 * Oh yeah :-/ <b style="color:#7F007F">Ritchie333</b> <sup style="color:#7F007F">(talk) <sup style="color:#7F007F">(cont)  20:09, 4 September 2018 (UTC)


 * "changed the band's name to Led Zeppelin" Could be a good place to link the band first time out of the intro.
 * Good point, well made


 * "not yet signed their deal with Atlantic Records" Link?
 * Thought it was linked earlier, but obviously not. <b style="color:#7F007F">Ritchie333</b> <sup style="color:#7F007F">(talk) <sup style="color:#7F007F">(cont)  20:09, 4 September 2018 (UTC)


 * "it was seldom performed live" I don't trust my non-native English skills entirely, but should it be "seldomly" here?
 * The best judge is a Google Books search with the phrase, which in this instance gives you this :-) <b style="color:#7F007F">Ritchie333</b> <sup style="color:#7F007F">(talk) <sup style="color:#7F007F">(cont)  20:09, 4 September 2018 (UTC)
 * I since looked it up too, and seems the use of "seldomly" is discouraged... FunkMonk (talk) 20:46, 4 September 2018 (UTC)


 * "Until late 1960s" The?
 * The source doesn't actually mention the late 1960s specifically, so reworded instead. <b style="color:#7F007F">Ritchie333</b> <sup style="color:#7F007F">(talk) <sup style="color:#7F007F">(cont)  20:09, 4 September 2018 (UTC)


 * "after Page injured a finger" Injured by playing the song, or was it just harder to play due to the injury?
 * All the source says is "the number had to be dropped for the first two weeks, when Jimmy injured his finger just before the tour." No other specifics, I'm afraid. <b style="color:#7F007F">Ritchie333</b> <sup style="color:#7F007F">(talk) <sup style="color:#7F007F">(cont)  20:09, 4 September 2018 (UTC)


 * " "Baby Come On Home" and "Sugar Mama" both appeared on the 2015 reissue" Seems they have been released before, though?
 * The 2015 Coda expansion was (according to the source) the first time the songs were released, so clarified. <b style="color:#7F007F">Ritchie333</b> <sup style="color:#7F007F">(talk) <sup style="color:#7F007F">(cont)  20:09, 4 September 2018 (UTC)
 * The Baby Come On Home article states it was released earlier on a box set, but no big deal. FunkMonk (talk) 20:46, 4 September 2018 (UTC)
 * I don't think I've actually got a reliable source for that, and in that article it's unsourced. <b style="color:#7F007F">Ritchie333</b> <sup style="color:#7F007F">(talk) <sup style="color:#7F007F">(cont)  21:21, 4 September 2018 (UTC)


 * "The album cover further widespread attention" Missing word?
 * More like my brain fell out. Fixed! <b style="color:#7F007F">Ritchie333</b> <sup style="color:#7F007F">(talk) <sup style="color:#7F007F">(cont)  21:19, 4 September 2018 (UTC)


 * Link David Fricke?
 * Didn't know he was notable :-/ <b style="color:#7F007F">Ritchie333</b> <sup style="color:#7F007F">(talk) <sup style="color:#7F007F">(cont)  21:19, 4 September 2018 (UTC)


 * I think it's worth a mention in the intro that much of the material was played by the Yarbirds earlier.
 * I think it's only "Dazed And Confused". Indeed, the "Background" section says the group's first Scandanavian tour featured Yardbirds hits (eg: Train Kept A Rollin', For Your Love, what else?) along with the songs on this LP. <b style="color:#7F007F">Ritchie333</b> <sup style="color:#7F007F">(talk) <sup style="color:#7F007F">(cont)  21:19, 4 September 2018 (UTC)


 * "and less than £2000 to complete" Why not just give the exact amount as you do in the article body? Doesn't take up more space.
 * I just don't think it matters as much for the lead. For somebody who just wants the basics from the top and nothing else, it makes more sense to present a rough ballpark figure. <b style="color:#7F007F">Ritchie333</b> <sup style="color:#7F007F">(talk) <sup style="color:#7F007F">(cont)  21:19, 4 September 2018 (UTC)


 * "endeared them to parts of the counterculture" Only stated in intro, with no source.
 * Tweaked <b style="color:#7F007F">Ritchie333</b> <sup style="color:#7F007F">(talk) <sup style="color:#7F007F">(cont)  21:19, 4 September 2018 (UTC)


 * That should be it, passing now. I wonder if the intro should have a word on the cover, but no big deal. FunkMonk (talk) 21:35, 4 September 2018 (UTC)
 * It's not exactly Sgt Pepper or The Dark Side of the Moon in terms of covers, so I don't think it's vital. I might have a think about it. Anyway, cheers for a good review - jeez, I shouldn't copyedit when tired though! <b style="color:#7F007F">Ritchie333</b> <sup style="color:#7F007F">(talk) <sup style="color:#7F007F">(cont)  21:38, 4 September 2018 (UTC)
