• Please be aware of
  MOS:SANDWICH. This article has too many images, and text should not be sandwiched between images. I suggest creating a category at Commons and adding a commons link to the images, so excess can be removed. See for example Ruth_Bader_Ginsburg#External_links
  for commons links.
• "Best known for" is rarely citeable. When I removed it, and it was re-added, I put a cn tag on it. Now the wording has been corrected, and yet we have six unnecessary citations in the lead. See
  WP:CITEOVERKILL
  . Please remove citations from the lead and work them in to the body.
• The article is overquoted. See
  WP:OVERQUOTE
  , and try to rephrase more in our own words or reduce lengthy quotes.
• I removed an external jump;
  WP:EL
  belong only in EL and in citations, and his partner has his own article.
• Citations are repeated rather than using named refs when repeating the same ref, eg, Grove Music is listed twice, when a named ref could be used. (Not that the Grove music citations should be in the lead anyway ... that Picker is "noted for" those works does not need citing at all in the lead ... it belongs in the body ... the problem was the trite wording "Best known for" which is almost never citeable).

I doubt that a justification can be made for seven non-free images in one article,[1] but I Don't Speak Images. Please review Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria. @Elcobbola and Colin: for help. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 15:56, 22 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Ec; I'll remove them all. Best, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 16:19, 22 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sandy, I see Elcobbola has handled this. I'm afraid I'm not at all familiar or experienced with Wikipedia's NFCC rules, as it isn't something that Commons concerns itself with. -- Colin°^Talk 20:15, 22 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
