The detailed description of the plot and themes of The Killing Joke seems redundant, since it is already covered in detail in the article for that comic book. Remove? Mortene 20:59, 22 Jul 2004 (UTC)
The gross overuse of quotations throws off the whole flow of the article. Many could be done without, simply reworded so as to eliminate the need to quote, or even left as they are, but without the quotation marks. Half of the things being quoted are so trivial they need not even be attributed to anyone, as anyone might say them on the subject. It's actually so bad that way too many of the quotes end up being fragmented and grammatically fitted to suit the sentence they are being used in. Some minor revision might be in order, although this might also entail reviewing the sources from which the quotations in question were drawn. User:chumbukket 22:57, 15 September 2009
The Buddy Guy that I know, and the one linked to here, is a blues guitarist, not a jazz bassist. I understand that this is footnoted, so am reluctant to mess with it, but using something as a source that it wrong seems like bad wikipeding to me. Einar Carptrash (talk) 16:19, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
Couple of citation needed tags in the lead. These should be sorted out before nominating. If the cites are in the body then you can simply remove them. They should be sorted out soon or it could be quickfailed. AIRcorn (talk) 11:39, 9 May 2012 (UTC)

Is he still working ? I see nothing much after 2013. Or is it just that the article has got out of date ? -- Beardo (talk) 20:29, 21 May 2022 (UTC)

The 2023 GA2 reviewer wrote: "I'm quick-failing this due to the massive use of one personal source and potential notability concerns".
The massive use of one personal source has not changed since that review. Indeed, the changes since the previous review do not seem to address issues from the review at all.
As such, I think this meets WP:GAFAIL #5: "A reviewer who has not previously reviewed the article determines that any issues from previous GA nominations have not been adequately considered". —David Eppstein (talk) 00:56, 11 July 2023 (UTC)
I've had a look at the book and it is clearly not independent of the subject. Bolland holds the copyright for the book, and it is all written like an autobiography. It can be a useful source for the article, but not for all the claims that it currently suports. Regards, BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 00:35, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
