replies: text: I have to support  on the restoration of data. I think  has been doing a great job of cleaning up the article, and chasing down issues, but the large scale demolition of the article content was not appropriate. I look forward to seeing how it can be re-organized to reflect her role as an actress as well as a musician, but not the discarding of the data, which represents years of work by Wikipedia users to refine the article.  I agree  with Mlpearc that Joan Jett is primarily a musical artist.  Joe Vitale 5 suggested looking at Roger Daltrey and Paul McCartney for examples, but their information boxes both also start with Musical artist, so their article acknowledges the primacy of their musical works in their careers, which supports Mlpearc's argument more that Joe Vitale 5.

thread_title: Second Infobox ?

message: Joan Jett is currently not associated with rock and roll, presumably because her sound is hard rock and the song "I Love Rock 'n' Roll" doesn't have the the roll to qualify it as an R&R song, which I understand. But it can also be argued that over the course of her career she did cover much ground in the retro R&R department (Louie Louie, I Need Someone, etc.). I have no problem leaving it at rock/hard rock, but I figured it might as well be talked about. YouCanDoBetter (talk) 07:03, 19 April 2020 (UTC)

I attempted to add bassist Sean Koos to the band member timeline.
Adding the date lines for his tenure as bassist and background vocalist caused the legend to become corrupted (showing extra "bass" and "backing vocals" legend entries with mixed colors). It was visible in the preview, but I attempted a publish to verify that the corruption would also be present there. It was, so I reverted the change.
I typed the added lines manually, but was very careful to match the existing format. This is my first time editing a timeline on Wikipedia, so I suspect I'm editing incorrectly. Does anybody recognize what I'm doing wrong? Thanks!  — Preceding unsigned comment added by NedGladstone (talk • contribs) 05:29, 9 January 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Played with timeline image parameters, found that increasing imagesize fixed the problem. I don't know where you got the dates from, or many of the other players who are listed. If you have a source for the dates for Sean Koos, please link to it, at the very least in the this section of the talk page. I don't think a link in the timeline would be good, but maybe next to his name in the infobox.  What is your source for knowing 1993 to 2002? Thanks.  Mburrell (talk) 06:42, 9 January 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: I got the dates directly from Sean Koos in a Facebook Messenger conversation. I have tried to find a citable source, but haven't succeeded so far. When/if I locate one, I will add a citation. As you mentioned, there's a general lack of citations for the bandmember history, so I felt it would be better to include the information we have while searching for something published.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.120.7.24 (talk) 03:23, 27 January 2021 (UTC)

message: is cherry bomb really a hit song?  is it more accurately an influential song or important song in the development of LA punk, girl groups and Joan jett?Scranton (talk) 01:17, 29 July 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Per Cherry Bomb (The Runaways song), the song ranked in a couple of charts at the time of release, and ranked in a overall evaluation chart.  It might be a minor hit compared to a Beatles song, but it does seem to meet a definition of a hit song.  I would say yes, it is a hit song.  It is also an influential song.

thread_title:  hit song 

message: "After the brief tenure of singer and bass guitarist Micki Steele, Jackie Fox, Lita Ford, and Cherie Currie soon joined to complete the band, creating the classic lineup." So who left, who stayed? The way the sentence is structured this information is not clear. I'll do an edit. If it remains accurate, good and well. If not, someone can revert it.
