message: Something else (not compilation)
*Doggett – "The Cry of Love, accepted for years as an authentic Hendrix album rather than a posthumous compilation" (this is in his discussion of First Rays, which is included in "The New Hendrix Catalogue: Studio Albums" section).
** "Accepted for years"... accepted by whom? and if "for years," this means it stopped being accepted as an authentic Hendrix album; if you read on, he qualifies further (the releases of Voodoo Soup and First Rays affected perception of Cry of Love). Dan56 (talk) 16:36, 29 April 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: This is going nowhere. You keep on shitting on whatever source challenges your desire for change. I have nothing new to say or respond to, so just open an RfC if you are still insistent on getting your change across, at the expense of what reliable sources have explicitly said.

thread_title: Refs so far

message: OK, if we're drawing from a broader pool of sources (bolding added):
*Hardy – "This trio made the final authorized Hendrix studio album, Cry of Love"
*Kienzle – "his final formal studio album, The Cry of Love."
*Magill – "His last true studio album, The Cry of Love"
*Hochman – "The Cry of Love ( 1971), his last self-authorized album."
*Lazell – "The Cry Of Love. the last LP sanctioned by Hendrix himself."
*Rees, Crampton – "The Cry Of Love, the last album sanctioned and recorded by Hendrix" Appears to be a later edition of Lazell's book
*Rolling Stone Encyclopedia editors – "Cry of Love, Hendrix's last self- authorized album."
So, there are several who explicitly say "studio album" and others who counter the "Kramer's concoction" idea.

text: No. There are three sources who call it "studio", three who call it "compilation", one who disputes it being called "studio", and others who call it "self-authorized"/"sanctioned". If out of necessity, to avoid errors, use both, in the manner of Purple Rain (album). Dan56 (talk) 12:18, 17 May 2019 (UTC)

text: Unfortunately, this is another one that doesn't easily fit into the current classification scheme.  Too bad the default isn't "Album" or  just produces "Album", with clarification left to . If it is really necessary, I suppose both can be used, like Eat a Peach or Hell Freezes Over (the use of a second color has little meaning to all except experienced WP album editors and may look like a mistake to the average reader).  Problem is, which goes first? —Ojorojo (talk) 14:32, 17 May 2019 (UTC)
replies: text:  I have no objection to "studio" being first, if that's your preference. Personally, the blue color of the infobox, when it is set to "studio," suits the album cover better than the green of "compilation." Dan56 (talk) 18:27, 17 May 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks. That's another one off the list. - X201 (talk) 20:40, 17 May 2019 (UTC)
thread_title: More refs

message: : :Template:Cquote doesn't explain it very well, so I linked the pull quote article. It includes: "Because the pull quote invites the reader to read about the highlighted material, the pull quote should appear before the text it cites and, generally, fairly close to it.[2][page needed] ... Pull quotes need not be a verbatim copy of the text being quoted; depending on a publication's house style, pull quotes may be abbreviated for space or paraphrased for clarity, with or without indication.[2][page needed]" The example that is uses shows that the pull quote repeats verbatim the text from the bottom of the second column.
Additionally, :MOS:BLOCKQUOTE includes: "Do not enclose block quotations in quotation marks (and especially avoid decorative quotation marks in normal use, such as those provided by the  template). Block quotations using a colored background are also discouraged." If the cquote doesn't substantially repeat existing text, it should be formatted as a block quote, which doesn't use quotation marks (plain or decorative).

thread_title:  Pull quote 

message: There is an entire section to discuss the album format. That section quotes different sources but there is no connections between them. What are we discussing here? Is it the Hendrix 4th album? Is it studio or compilation? Those quotes are talking about different things, and it seems there is no connections between them.Valverde.pr (talk) 17:30, 7 July 2020 (UTC)
