[edit] Expansion
The article needs (per Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Cowboys Are Frequently, Secretly Fond of Each Other):
To get rid of the weasel word "Most sources speculate about the potential success of the song" in the Possible reception section.- basic facts such as sales figures, release date, and which record charts the song has appeared on

[edit] File
The articles I have read describe the song as available as an MP3 from iTunes, not an M4P. Hyacinth 11:20, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
- Those articles are incorrect. I have the actual song file from iTunes and it is indeed an m4p (AAC) file. iTunes offers no other format, nor does any other online store offer the song. Cjmarsicano 19:44, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
- In reality though, M4Ps are MP4s. -- Zanimum 01:44, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Good Article nomination has failed
The Good article nomination for Cowboys Are Frequently, Secretly Fond of Each Other has failed, for the following reason:
- It looks generally very good and suitable for listing on GA, but the expansion tag should either be addressed or removed before it can be listed. One suggestions I'd make, though, is to not have a quote from a magazine in the very first sentence - just describe what the article is about and save quotes for later on, otherwise it looks somewhat like a fan piece.

- Both quotes simply describe the song without being positive, so I'm not sure how they would make the article look like a "fan piece".
- More importantly, are you saying that attempting to address the impediments to this being a featured article means that it can't be a good one? Isn't that what good articles are? Hyacinth 21:47, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
- See Henry Cowell. Hyacinth 00:15, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] "He Was a Friend of Mine"
"He Was a Friend of Mine' is credited to McGuinn/Traditional, it seems likely that this is where Nelson heard it, and it does not sound like a blues song. Perhaps we could call it a folk standard also performed by the Byrds? Hyacinth 21:34, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
- Called it "traditional". Hyacinth 21:55, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Good Article nomination has passed
The Good article nomination for Cowboys Are Frequently, Secretly Fond of Each Other has passed.
- I found it well written, everything was referenced, and basically a good article.

- I agree. I was skeptical at first, but it's an interesting read and well cited. Nice job! Kafziel 16:28, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] "Similar songs"
Seems to me neither of the songs listed there are at all similar; I'm considering striking this section, as the analysis seems OR. --jpgordon∇∆∇∆ 03:54, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
