Little Walter discography

 * Nominator(s): Ojorojo (talk) 17:46, 4 January 2022 (UTC)

After several discographies for guitarists, I thought it was time for a harmonica player. Little Walter was a true innovator and one of, if not the most famous blues harpist of all. Most of his recordings were for the Checker/Chess labels, so his discography is relatively straightforward and benefits from some excellent sources. It's a relatively new article, but the former discography section in his WP bio didn't have problems. Enjoy. Ojorojo (talk) 17:46, 4 January 2022 (UTC)

Comments from Kavyansh

 * Thanks, I think I've addressed your concerns. Let me know if I missed something. —Ojorojo (talk) 15:13, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Was just waiting for Chris's comments to be resolved. With that being done, I support – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 15:04, 7 January 2022 (UTC)


 * One more comment
 * Re Kavyansh's second point, I found this image. It's not the greatest, but it could be added so that there isn't no image at all.  Up to you really, it's not a deal-breaker for me either way..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 14:50, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
 * As I mentioned to Kavyansh above, it's not very good quality. I'll keep looking. —Ojorojo (talk) 16:02, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
 * His foundation website has a few photos, but most look similar to those used in box set booklets that indicate "courtesy of" various photographers and MCA/Chess. A fansite also has a number of photos that are attributed to various photographers, which I assume means they aren't in the public domain. But maybe something will turn up. Thanks for your comments. —Ojorojo (talk) 18:10, 5 January 2022 (UTC)


 * And one more comment :-)
 * All of Walter's hits up to and including "Who" charted when Billboard published separate jukebox and sales charts. All of the chart positions listed are for the jukebox chart - he was less successful on the sales chart.  Is it worth adding a footnote to confirm exactly which chart the positions relate to? -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 09:18, 6 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Whitburn appears to list whichever of the three is highest (juke box, best sellers, or jockeys) for "Peak Pos" and in Walter's case, that happens to be juke box for all of his singles up to "Who". I'll add an efn to clarify this for his solo records, but those with Muddy Waters are split between juke box and sellers (and one jockey). To try to list all three would overcomplicate the table and just picking one chart would leave some singles out. Maybe an efn with "Except for "Close to You", singles with Muddy Waters reflect the highest position on one the three Billboard R&B charts ("Juke Box", "Best Sellers", or "Jockeys") in use at the time. For "Close to You", the consolidated "Hot R&B Sides" is used." Would that work? —Ojorojo (talk) 14:52, 6 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Sounds reasonable :-) -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 16:53, 6 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Added. Thanks again. —Ojorojo (talk) 17:36, 6 January 2022 (UTC)


 * Support -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 19:59, 6 January 2022 (UTC)

 * This may sound silly, but I think sideman is worthy linking. I was not familiar with the word, although I could guess its meaning from context, but I'd think other readers may want further clarification as well so a link would be beneficial. I'd link it in the lead and the list.
 * I would also link electric blues and Grammy Award for Best Historical Album.
 * Since harmonica is linked in the lead, it should be linked in the list for consistency.

My comments are very nitpick-y so apologies for that. Once they have all been addressed, I will be more than happy to support this FLC for promotion. It would be great to see Little Walter being represented in Wikipedia's featured content. Aoba47 (talk) 19:56, 13 January 2022 (UTC)
 * I try to stay away from too much blue in the lead, but if it helps clarify terms for the average reader, I've linked them. Thanks for your comments. —Ojorojo (talk) 14:38, 14 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you for addressing everything. I support this FLC for promotion. Aoba47 (talk) 16:37, 14 January 2022 (UTC)


 * Source review – Source reliability and formatting both look strong throughout, and no issues were identified by the link-checker tool. This is a pass for me. Giants2008  ( Talk ) 22:29, 20 January 2022 (UTC)

Interesting person; never knew harmonica is more complex than it looks. I also have a discography FLC if you're interested.
 * Aaand all comments resolved, so support. Marvelous work!  Gerald WL  17:05, 23 January 2022 (UTC)
