Talk:The Singing Brakeman (film)

"The Singing Brakeman" Nickname
I added a paragraph on "The Singing Brakeman" being a well-known nickname for Jimmie Rodgers. Not sure I did the reference exactly right; I had not used that format before. Anyway, I found a biography of Rodgers at http://mshistorynow.mdah.state.ms.us/articles/39/jimmie-rodgers-the-father-of-country-music that was also cited several other times in the article; however, the citation points to a Wayback Machine entry rather than the actual, active link. Is that really what you meant to do, or has this biography been restored since 2010, or whenever it was? Hard to believe, since Jimmie Rodgers is one of the most famous Mississippians ever. I would think that these links should be reworked to point to the actual link. Right? But there was another citation that also pointed to the Wayback Machine. I can promise you: The State of Mississippi is going to be around a whole lot longer than the Wayback Machine. Shocking Blue (talk) 18:11, 8 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Thanks for adding that, I moved the information to the production section (and used a book reference). About the Wayback Machine website, are you referring to the biographical entry of Jimmie Rodgers rather than this article? I mostly use books or newspaper articles for the references, as I did with this particular article. The biography entry of Rodgers needs for sure plenty of improvement. I was thinking to tackle it at some point, but it does take plenty of work. I guess I'll get around it at some point anyway.-- GDuwen  Holler!  19:15, 8 February 2021 (UTC)
