thread_title:  External links modified 

message: I've added a "Lead rewrite" template to the article. I haven't gone over the whole thing, but the first paragraph does not summarize the article as required by WP:LEAD. Let's look at it:
Almost none of this is even mentioned in the article, much less supported by sources. "King of Country", "influential", "popular", "neotraditionalist", "cowboy look", and "pop country" are never mentioned. This problem is creeping in to the infobox too, with the recent addition of "Western Swing" with no source. Even the roles are questionable. "Producer" is only mentioned twice briefly in a table, and there is no evidence that this is a notable role for Strait.
If the first paragraph is this bad, I suspect the rest of the lead is too, hence the rewrite template. Kendall-K1 (talk) 16:12, 4 December 2017 (UTC)

message: In the Discography section, it reads:
"George Strait has garnered 61 number-one songs on all country charts (including Mediabase 24/7, the former Radio & Records chart, and the now-defunct Gavin Report chart), and has more number-one hits than any other artist in any genre."
This is misleading as it implies that Strait has more number-one hits than anybody else and that isn't true.  Madonna has 157, more than any other artist.  I think the section is trying to say that other artists have hits across genres, Strait's are all for Country, but even that is misleading because his #1s are split across various charts.  Madonna just got her 50th Dance Club #1 which is the most by any artist for any single chart.
I'm not sure how best to express what is being said because the vagueness of terms like "genre" compared to "chart" doesn't make things clear.

thread_title:  Question about record #1s 

message: Would a table of all of George Strait's number-one singles, sorted by which publication they hit number one on, be an appropriate application of WP:CALC to corroborate the widely-cited "60 number ones" statistic? Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 17:51, 24 March 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: what is your brief and neutral statement? At over 3,000 bytes, the statement above (from the  tag to the next timestamp) is far too long for  to handle, and so it is not being shown correctly at Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Biographies. The RfC may also not be publicised through WP:FRS until a shorter statement is provided. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 21:12, 24 March 2022 (UTC)

text: * At the time, USA Today used the Mediabase charts. The 60 figure would have to include every American chart at least, as my reserach above proved that some songs were #1 on solely Radio & Records, and some solely on Gavin Report. What I'm looking for is the best way to attribute the 60 figure, as only 44 of the 60 were on Billboard, which is what most music articles use.

thread_title:  Count of number hits? 

message: I removed the reference to George Strait as Jeff Bezos' cousin. In fact, he is the second cousin of Bezos' motherhttps://tasteofcountry.com/george-strait-jeff-bezos-related-cousins/. That is a fairly distant relationship, and they do not seem to regard each other as family. Illexsquid (talk) 00:09, 5 August 2022 (UTC)
