Peer Review[edit]

This article appears to be factual with neutral content not leading towards any biases or conclusions. The article also contains a fair amount of sources given the information presented. Within the resources section the Autobiography listed isn't utilized within the article as well as it could be. The Careers section also is missing several citations for information presented within this section. The honors section also only contains one line of information and could expound more on his acceptance into the Country Music Hall of Fame. His performances could also be more descriptive and presented more such as how many years on Hee Haw his involvement with the show and his previous performances on the Grand Ole Opry. The lead is concise but could use more additional detail describing the content of the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DylanBullman28 (talk • contribs) 17:45, 10 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

>>>What was that?[edit]

I have commented the following out:

He won a contest which is featured as singer and host in 1929, "I won fifty dollars in ten dollar gold pieces, and of course I went right out and brought a better guitar!" Wonder Hall, “The Red Headed Music Maker” (famous for “It Ain’t gonna Rain No More” The winning songs were “Going Back To Texas” and “ My Dear Old Southern Home.

This is rather murky. Is "Wonder Hall" somebody's name? Is that whole "I won fifty dollars..." quote supposed to function as an adjective with that name (you know, like "Neil That's-One-Small-Step-For-Man Armstrong")? Where is the bracketed section beginning "(famous for..." supposed to end? There's no end bracket. I think perhaps "The winning songs were..." is not even part of the mangling that has happened here. Can whoever wrote this – or perhaps somebody with a keener sense than mine of how the Grandpa Jones story should fit together – clarify this section, please, and only then comment it back in? Thanks.
