Image copyright problem with Image:BloodTracksCover.jpg
The image
Image:BloodTracksCover.jpg is used in this article under a claim of
fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the
requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an
explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check
That there is a
non-free use rationale on the image's description page for the use in this article.
That this article is linked to from the image description page.
Fair use rationale for File:Tangled Up in Blue Cover.jpg
File:Tangled Up in Blue Cover.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under

explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the
boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with
fair use.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on

Shouldn't the release date of the song as a B-side be listed in the infobox since the single template is used?
I've changed the type to "song" as nearly all sources discuss it as an album track rather than as a single. Hopefully that works.

Pipe Minneapolis, Minnesota to
Minneapolis, plus either separate the city from the studio using brackets or commas
Removed. If a genre is needed, I'll look for a suitable source, but I suspect there may be different descriptions in different sources.

"It is one of five songs on" → "The song is one of five on" but the number of songs initially recorded is not directly sourced as five (half the songs on the album are mentioned as being re-recorded but nowhere does it say all were originally done in September)
"five of ten" is now mentioned in the body.

Remove "in December that year" from this sentence because the following one gives the date, though the city can be kept
"became the album track" → "The recording later became the album track" as a new sentence, plus pipe single to
Single (music) and add a comma after it before writing "released in February 1975."
Pipe CD to
Compact disc, plus the single-CD and 2-LP info should be written out in the body with the source since everything in the lead needs to be sourced there
"with some reviewers naming the track a highlight of Blood on the Tracks, and the song being" → "being named by some as an album highlight, and it has been"
Mention the Civic Centre live performance in a sentence after the above, as this is fully notable for the lead and follow it with a sentence about the Italian cover version since that is the most noteworthy one
"followed by a third on September 19 where" → "These were followed by a third on September 19, where" as a new sentence, plus it needs to be mentioned somewhere in the opening info that five songs were recorded initially that month
Partly done. "it needs to be mentioned somewhere in the opening info that five songs were recorded initially that month" pending.

"for the Minneapolis "Blood on the Tracks" recordings," → "for the Minneapolis recordings," because it is already known that the recording there was for the album
Progress report: no genre description found in books so far. Several reviews mention "ballad"/"love ballad". Cott (1984) says "the other songs [apart from Idiot Wind] on 'Blood on the Tracks', each of which has its own style". Thomas (2017) has "Lyric song-poem".

Is the album's Billboard 200 position really notable for this article?
I think so, as it indicates the reach, but happy to remove this if you advise so.

Do you not have a source giving the single's exact release date?
No, sadly. Not found in any of the sources I've consulted, including Bjorner's site, Michael Krogsgaard's Positively Bob Dylan: A Thirty Year Discography, Concert, and Recording Session Guide, 1960–1991, or Clinton Heylin's Bob Dylan : a life in stolen moments : day by day, 1941-1995, all of which just have "February." The earliest newspaper mentions I could find of the single are from mid-March 1975, talking about it as a new release - I didn't even find any adverts from before that.

"in a 1985 interview that" → "in a 1985 interview:" plus are you sure the quote doesn't end on a full sentence, meaning the full-stop would be inside quote marks?
"bitterness" and bemoans the failure of commentators to consider the original version" → "bitterness", and bemoaned the failure of commentators to consider the original"
Are you sure the last line quoted from the lyrics doesn't end with a full-stop in the source's quote marks? If so, alter here appropriately.
Seems like it should, but the source has 'If she's passing back this way/ That would be too quick' he howls. 'Don't mention her name to me/ Cos that's a name that makes me sick'. I've capitalised "That" in the article to match the source.

On hold until all of the issues are fixed; great to have completed a review for the backlog already! --

Many thanks for another patient, thorough and constructive review,
K. Peake. I've replied to everything above. I guess the lead may need a bit more work, and another pending issue is that I wasn't able to find a source that I'm happy with for the genre. (Unless "ballad" counts as a genre.) If it's important to include a genre then there is a Billboard page that describes "Blood on the Tracks" as "folk rock", which I can add in. Regards,

BennyOnTheLoose Thanks for the response, I will look later when I'm done at work and use the 'folk rock' ref. --
K. Peake 15:42, 6 July 2021 (UTC)reply
BennyOnTheLoose✓Pass now, after seeing that the Billboard source calls the album as a whole folk rock but does not specifically link the song to this genre, I removed it and made a few other copy edits for you... great work! --

Typo or not? "Fate" in Recording and Composition section
In the second paragraph of the Recording and Composition section we see this sentence:
These musicians were based locally and had arrived fate Zimmerman's contact, and Dylan had not met them before they started working together on December 27, 1974.[5]
"fate" is either a typo or there is some kind of meaning here which I don't understand. Should it say "per" perhaps or "as a part of"?
