Talk:Ray LaMontagne

Help Wanted
Does anyone know more about this man?Swatson1978 08:03, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
 * There is a more detailed biography here. Gflores Talk 08:04, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

In the October 5th issue of Rolling Stone there is an article on Ray. It states that he lives in Wilton, Maine not Lewiston like this article says.

Main Image
I found a picture which i think would be better for the main page instead of the album cover. I can't find a copyright so help me out if it can be used. You can find the picture im talking about right around....here.--SteelersFan UK06 10:03, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

Good Article
This article meets the requirements for a Good Article: It is very well-referenced, the content is stable, and it appears to meet Wikipedia's Neutral Point of View policy, a trait fairly rare amongst musician-related articles. I see no need to deny this article GA status any longer. Firsfron of Ronchester 02:01, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I do. There's a "LaMontagne" in almost every sentence. "LaMontagne" makes an annoying reading. "LaMontagne" should be replaced with personal pronouns every now and then. :-D --Zoran M (talk) 00:35, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Ditto. Some of the references cited don't support the text, a number of others are dead links. Some statements in the text appear to be personal opinion.97.91.254.54 (talk) 17:15, 3 March 2016 (UTC)

Links
Most of the external links were removed, based it seems, on a strict read of WP:EL. I'm moving them here as some of them still might be useful to those working on the article.

Upbringing
After the move from Nashua, New Hampshire, I know that Ray attended Buckfield High School in Buckfield, Maine. Also, the shoe factory that he worked in was (I believe) in the Bates Mill Complex in Lewiston, Maine.

Orphaned references in Ray LaMontagne
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Ray LaMontagne's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "metacritic": From Supernova (Ray LaMontagne album):  From Turn Blue (album):  

Reference named "theguardian": From Supernova (Ray LaMontagne album):  From Rick Danko: "News – Obituaries – Rick Danko", The Guardian, December 17, 1999. 

Reference named "rollingstone":<ul> <li>From Supernova (Ray LaMontagne album): </li> <li>From Turn Blue (album): </li> </ul>

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 05:16, 20 January 2017 (UTC)

LaMontagne residence
I don't know where he's living now, but I was just reading this morning that the farm in Ashfield, MA is on the market again. https://www.mansionglobal.com/articles/ray-lamontagne-selling-historic-massachusetts-farmhouse-for-5-25-million-94fc5327 Rich (talk) 03:51, 10 October 2023 (UTC)
