In the article's Influence section, it previously said that Elton John's eyesight was damaged by some glasses he wore. I have removed the claim, since it is a misconception that glasses can damage one's eyesight. On a side note, the citation for the claim is unclear, since the {{ sfn}}-link is dead; there's no 1979 book by John Goldrosen in the Sources section.-- Stempelquist ( talk) 23:29, 23 March 2018 (UTC)
At Buddy Holly § Winter Dance Party tour and death (1959), this seems unnecessarily gory:
The bodies of the entertainers were all ejected from the plane on impact, while Peterson's body remained entangled in the wreckage. Holly had sustained fatal trauma to his head and chest and numerous lacerations and fractures of his arms and legs.
Is it really insufficient to know, from the previous sentence, that they were:
killed instantly when their plane crashed into a cornfield
? How about adding the AutopsyFiles.org ref to this sentence or External Links for those who really need to know? —[ AlanM1( talk)]— 07:10, 29 July 2018 (UTC)
The "External links" section is a link farm with eleven links and needs trimming. Otr500 ( talk) 08:21, 1 May 2019 (UTC)
@ Sundayclose: I see you had to revert a lot of edits by non-registered users recently. In this reversion of your reversion ( https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Buddy_Holly&type=revision&diff=993175413&oldid=993161326), the person infobox was lost, which means the field for spouse was lost as well. I just put in a request for the article to be semi-protected. -- GravityIsForSuckers ( talk) 21:05, 1 January 2021 (UTC)
