Infobox and lead

  • Should Pye studios really be piped to when Pye Records in linked in the infobox anyway?
  • I think so since
    Pye Studios may end up with its own article one day, rather than being a redirect to Pye Records
    .
  • Move the inspiration sentence to being the one before the musical description
  • Done.
  • The term "simple" is not notable for the lead
  • Done.
  • "The song is one of" → ""Johnny Thunder" is one of"
  • Done. I also moved this sentence so it opened the paragraph, which seemed a bit more natural.
  • "Davies expressed desires publicly" → "Ray expressed desires publicly" per
    MOS:SAMESURNAME
  • Done.
  • Should Anthony Gezale's stage name really be italicised?
  • I believe so by
    MOS:WORDSASWORDS
    .

Background and composition

  • Quote box and first para look good!
  • Should Johnny Thunder be surrounded by speech marks or is this about the name, not the song title?
  • I clarified it as The Johnny Thunder character ...
  • Remove comma before "David Watts"
  • Done.
  • "lead character, Johnny, as" → "lead character Johnny, as"
  • Done.
  • Why is Johnny Thunder italicised?
  • MOS:WORDSASWORDS
  • Are you sure straightforward is an appropriate term, rather than something like traditional?
  • Andy Miller used the word "straightforward" to describe the song's simple production and Jon Savage describes it as one of the album's "great rock songs". I'm worried the way I had it written was a bit too close to
    WP:SYNTH
    , since the authors were saying different things, so I've rewritten it. I've left Savage to source it as being a rock song, while I've moved Miller's mention of it being a straightforward production to the recording section.
  • Done.
  • Remove the Kinks' 1968 album introduction since this being in the lead is sufficient
  • Done.

Recording and release

  • Img and first para look good!
  • "when he expanded its track listing" → "when he expanded the track listing"
  • Done.
  • Remove comma before "and personally phoned", also moving [22] solely to the end of the sentence
  • Done.
  • "likened its fast strumming to" → "likened the fast strumming to"
  • Done.
  • The eventual guitarist role is not sourced and why is Johnny Thunders italicised?
  • Removed guitarist mention. Italicised because of
    MOS:WORDSASWORDS
    .
