# Talk:Willie Nelson

Country HOF definitely. Why Rock and Roll? If he was so influential in that why  does the lead not mention influence on rock at all? 70.161.8.90 (talk) 22:57, 3 May 2023 (UTC)

You will need to take up that question with the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, not with Wikipedia. Cullen328 (talk) 20:03, 13 May 2023 (UTC)
As a small comment notice that it is not mentioned on the lead, but rather on a line that appears as "current stuff" from the 2020s, and it given as much importance as a Grammy. Prominent enough to be mentioned, but not rally a career-defining moment.--GDuwenHoller! 17:23, 15 May 2023 (UTC)

I don't understand why this article has a long, redundant bio before the bio sections even start—nor why it keeps saying "Nelson", "Nelson" over and over (rather than using the pronoun "he") when it's clear who's being discussed. Overenthusiasm? It seems amateurish. "Less is more." ~ 2604:3D08:4486:600:20E9:D3F:2D0F:5B4D (talk) 21:47, 10 July 2024 (UTC)

Willie Nelson - Personal Life - Paragraph 4:
Change "a new original by Nelson" to "the familiar standard recorded by Nelson"  (See Wikipedia entry) ‘"I'll Be Seeing You" is a popular song about missing a loved one, with music by Sammy Fain and lyrics by Irving Kahal.[1] Published in 1938,’ This is the song used in the referenced public service announcement. 2603:8080:D700:695F:E5A4:156B:A908:36DD (talk) 02:13, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

 Done with slightly different wording, thanks for catching that. DrOrinScrivello (talk) 21:39, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

The article says, "After leaving school in 1950, he joined the U.S. Air Force; he served for nine months before being medically discharged because of issues with his back." However, the infobox says he served from 1950 to 1952. I don't think these can both be true, since he couldn't have served from 1950 to 1952 but only for nine months. -- Metropolitan90 (talk) 03:49, 11 November 2024 (UTC)

Not only that, but the cited source for the nine months of service actually says eight months. It seems likely that he served into 1951, but without a source stating what month he joined I think it would be OR to definitively say so. Since we don't know for sure, I've gone ahead and removed the years of service parameter from the infobox. DrOrinScrivello (talk) 14:23, 12 November 2024 (UTC)

"Nelson has acted in over 30 films, co-authored several books, and has been involved in activism", in the first paragraph of the lede, needs to be changed to either "Nelson has acted in over 30 films, co-authored several books, and been involved in activism" or "Nelson has acted in over 30 films, has co-authored several books, and has been involved in activism ". 199.192.151.199 (talk) 18:08, 1 August 2025 (UTC)
