message: Is Bruce Hornsby related in anyway to baseball great Rogers Hornsby and if so in what way?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.186.140.91 (talk) 10:32, 2 December 2019 (UTC)
thread_title: Rogers Hornsby relationship?

message: I've tried very hard to provide relevant details in THE RANGE section about Bruce's collaboration with the Dead (which seems to be an ongoing controversy on THE GRATEFUL DEAD Wikipedia page).  I also Krazychris81 (talk) 00:51, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: The Range/Grateful Dead

message: I've been attempting to add images to this page for weeks.  All of them, for one reason or another, have been immediately contested and removed.  I wish anyone who is brave enough, or who has enough time to deal with the anti-Image-Upload Wikipedia Inquisition, best of luck in finding images for upload.  BoaTeeth 02:33, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Regarding image request

message: I'm going through the article and removing redundant links.  If anyone objects to this, please let me know, but it sure seems like a good idea.  (For instance, the section "Hornsby & the Grateful Dead" contained 12 separate wikilinks to Grateful Dead.  I reduced it to one.) I'm leaving all the text intact, just removing links (or disambiguating them, as needed).  --Wayne Miller 15:45, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Seems like a good idea to me.  I had created a lot of those links, but only because I've been editing the text pretty thoroughly...I was planning to go back through and remove some, if not all, of the redundant links.  Thanks for taking care of it!  Snidleysnide 18:03, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: You're welcome!  I enjoy doing maintenance tasks like this so other people can just add content and not worry about them.  I just wanted to make sure I wasn't overlooking some obvious reason the links needed to be there.  :)  This is a really nice article, by the way, GA or no GA.  --Wayne Miller 19:36, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Thank you for the kind remarks about the article.  And thanks for your continued edits, much appreciated.  Snidleysnide 20:21, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Redundant links 

message: I've been going through the references recently, consolidating them and formatting them using the citation templates.  I ended up moving one reference, BruceBase: Bruce Hornsby Set Lists, to the External links section.  The link simply invites the user to look up a setlist for any given date -- it's not really possible to get a permanent link to a particular show (or range of shows, which is what the ref was trying to do).  Fortunately, there's another reference backing up the same bit of text.  FYI.  --Wayne Miller 12:27, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Ok, I'm done formatting the citations.  (Whew.)  I did change one, currently #37.  The purpose of the citation is to establish that Ricky Scaggs & Bruce Hornsby spent several weeks at #1 on the Billboard Bluegrass chart.  The link (http://www.billboard.biz/bbbiz/charts/currentalbum.jsp) unfortunately required registration to get to the vital stats.  I ended up replacing it with a press release (http://www.shorefire.com/index.php?a=pressrelease&o=970) that basically states the same thing.  If anyone objects, we can put it back to the way it was.  --Wayne Miller 21:08, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

text: You did a great job, Wayne.  Good call with the Billboard citation, too...I didn't realize that a sign-in was required (I think the computer I mainly use must auto-login at that website).  Thanks for all of your help. Snidleysnide 21:24, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Citations / Links 

message: This is an excellent article on an imminently deserving subject.  It is generally well-written and flows smoothly, although it is frequently too wordy and in places too detailed.  It looks to be accurate and well-sourced, although some of the sources, particularly the ones used for characterizing individual songs and albums (particularly songfacts.com, but to a lesser extent the All Music Guide reviews as well) would probably not pass muster for a Featured Article. It's definitely broad enough in coverage for Good Article status, although I would expect more on Hornsby's personal life before the last paragraph for FA status.  At times the language tends toward gushing, but it is just neutral enough at this stage.  It is appropriately illustrated, and stable.  Very nice work; this article is within range of Featured Article status with some improvement of the weak sources, some fairly simply language cleanup, and some moderate editing to make the prose more concise.--ragesoss 06:07, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: GA passed

message: Congrats on the GA. This article is in good hands. egde 16:38, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Congratulations

message: I'm not a Hornsby fan, just interested in looking him up, and I found this article too detailed, as well as oddly written. I see from the comments that it's been improved, but it's still not quite there. The giveaway is the excessive use of adjectives like "excellent," "highly regarded," etc, which don't have much of a place in an encyclopedia article, as well as awkward constructions like "from which he graduated." It needs additional, firm editing by a non-fan. 68.81.114.143 02:53, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Article still needs work

message: I changed the sentence where it says "the song hit a note because of economic decline in the early to mid-1980s" to read "perceived economic decline"...whatever people thought of this song and the economy at the time, the vast majority of economic statistics were positive.Krazychris81 (talk) 00:51, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Minor change to the description of "The Way It Is"

message: How come there is no credit given to Bruce Hornsby for doing the Backdraft sound track including the songs "The Show Goes On" and "Set Me in Motion"?

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: The Bruce Hornsby article currently has an overly extensive subsection for Discography while a sub-page, Bruce Hornsby discography, covers much of this same material. Usually if such a sub-page exists then the parent article should only show the solo albums by the artist. A link is already provided to that sub-page for interested readers to peruse those details. I intend to remove much of the non-solo album discography content from this article's subsection and will attempt to check that it is found at the sub-page.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 01:37, 8 June 2020 (UTC)
