message: I am reading through the article section by section, and have noted several inaccuracies. I propose working my way through them over time, and will post here before editing, in case anyone suggests better wording etc. In the 'Early Bands' section it is implied that Larry supported The Doors and Jimi Hendrix prior to joining People! I do not believe this is true and am unaware of any evidence at all to support. I suggest rewording "After graduating, Norman continued performing and opened at local concerts for The Doors and Jimi Hendrix.[4][28]" to "After graduating, Norman continued performing locally.". I don't believe references 4 and 28 mean anything for this proposed sentence, but they could be moved to the following paragraph as additional references for People! having supported these acts. Alternatively, we could just remove the sentence altogether as opposed to rewording it. AtholMcG (talk) 21:44, 11 January 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Change per above now made. Also within the 'Early bands' section are the following issues: Reference 33 does not support I Love You reaching 'number one in several markets'. It might be true that it did but I propose rewording from "and reaching No. 1 in several markets" to "and charting strongly in several markets". I also propose rewording "Norman left People! before Capitol released the band's first album in the summer of 1967, but reunited with Mason for concerts in 1980 and 2006." to "Norman left People! just as Capitol released the band's first album in the summer of 1968, but reunited with Mason for concerts in 1974 and 2006." - Larry left the band on or very close to the day the album was released. The I Love You single was released in January 1968 and the album followed months later. The only People! release in 1967 was the single Organ Grinder. Also, the Israel Tapes was recorded in 1974, not 1980. 1980 was just the album release date. It may be worth noting that Denny Fridkin (People! drummer) was also part of the 2006 reunion concert.

replies: text:  OK. We can say "mid-1968", or just "1968". AtholMcG (talk) 20:31, 12 January 2018 (UTC)

text: Referring to Solid Rock, part of the ‘Recording Career’ section says: "Norman produced music on the label for artists including Randy Stonehill, Mark Heard, Tom Howard,[77] and David Edwards.[78]”. The David Edwards entry in reference 78 actually says: "In 1973, he became bass player for J.C. Power Outlet, one of the foremost non-Calvary Chapel bands associated with the Jesus movement. He left the group in 1975 to pursue a solo career, signing a contract with Larry Norman's Solid Rock. This began a multi-year quest for what Norman called 'ten great songs', a seemingly unattainable goal that proved both discouraging and inspiring to the artist. "We'll enter the studio as soon as you have ten great songs," Norman told Edwards year after year until the latter finally found a new producer. Many of Norman's charges experienced similar frustrations, but years later Edwards would remember the imposed sabbatical with mixed emotions, admitting that it spared him 'the lifelong embarrassment' of having some early songs recorded”” — This quote doesn’t in any way say that David Edwards was recorded on Solid Rock - it as good as says he wasn’t. I therefore suggest that we remove the mention of David Edwards from this sentence.
The section goes on to say: “Norman also produced artists who were signed to other labels, including Malcolm and Alwyn, Bobby Emmons and the Crosstones, Lyrix, and James Sundquist.[79][80][81][82]” — What is the relevance of references 80 and 82, which have no mention of Larry or Solid Rock? What is the relevance of reference 81, which indicates that the Sundquist album was produced by people other than Larry? Which Malcolm And Alwyn release did Larry produce? I suggest that we reword to “Norman also worked with several artists who were signed to other labels, including Malcolm and Alwyn, Bobby Emmons and the Crosstones, Lyrix, David Edwards and James Sundquist.[78][79][81]”.
