Jeff Tweedy was one of the Music good articles, but it has been removed from the list. There are suggestions below for improving the article to meet the good article criteria. Once these issues have been addressed, the article can be renominated. Editors may also seek a reassessment of the decision if they believe there was a mistake. | ||||||||||||||||

Current status: Delisted good article |
Jeff Tweedy was known as "Scot Summit" while recording Golden Smog's album "Down By The Old Mainstream." The name was created by using his middle name for his first name, and the first street that he lived on as his last name. He also composed the soundtrack for the Ethan Hawke film "Chelsea Walls," released in 2001.
Found this phrase in the first paragraph:
"He is the coolest man alive..."
That's not really NPOV, is it? There's no source. Anyway, it could be reworded better, certainly.
Also, the first external link (Who Owns Culture? - Jeff Tweedy and Lawrence Lessig in conversation with Steven Johnson, http://wilcoworld.net/wired/) doesn't work for me. Incidentally, there is a blog entry ( http://www.kottke.org/05/04/lessig-tweedy-copyright) about that talk. I believe the first link is to a webcast of the event, and is also linked to on the blog entry I mentioned, but seems to be no longer working. Is it giving anyone else trouble, or just me?
Both of their sons, Sam and Spencer, have followed in their father's footsteps, playing in their own band, The Blisters, who played alongside Wilco at Chicago's Lollapalooza 2006.
But I can't figure out how to make the EDIT!!!
Should the "massacre" (as the Wilco Website calls it) be mentioned on here? It seemed to get Tweedy a lot of press, enough for an official press release anyway.
Only official websites are permitted, but I thought I'd put these here for reference
Once these issues are addressed i will take another look at the text. M3tal H3ad 05:01, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
Since both Wilco and Loose Fur have categories in them which cause them to be included set of articles that are tagged by bot with {{ ChicagoWikiProject}}, it might make sense for the band members and related discographies to have similar categories. I was looking at Jeff Tweedy and noticed that he has Category:People from Belleville, Illinois and Category:Illinois musicians in his article. If he had Category:People from Chicago or Category:Chicago musicians in his article then he would be tagged with {{ ChicagoWikiProject}} and thus they would fall under WP:CHICAGO. As WP:CHICAGO director, I would like to monitor these musicians, but I generally leave category decision to the editors of the pages. Please make whatever category decisions you feel would be correct with this in mind for all band members, the bands and all discographies.
I am placing this message several places. I am asking all respondents to respond at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Alternative_music#Wilco_and_Loose_Fur_bandmembers_and_discographies.
Image:Sunkentreasure.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no 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.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
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 criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
As part of Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles' Project quality task force (" GA Sweeps"), all old good articles are being re-reviewed to ensure that they meet current good article criteria (as detailed at WP:WIAGA.) I have determined that this article needs some work to meet current criteria, outlined below:
I am putting the article on hold for one week pending improvements to the above. Please keep me appraised of progress on this page. Thanks, Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs( talk) 23:40, 13 February 2010 (UTC)
I think the info on Jeff's son Spencer in the Personal Life section should be shortened a little. Although I'm sure Jeff and others are very proud of his son, the article is about Jeff, and listing his sons bands, members of the bands, 13th birthday celebrations etc. could maybe be scaled back a bit. UrbanNerd ( talk) 09:12, 28 September 2011 (UTC)
I am making an interim reinstatement of my edit in the Personal Life section noting Mr. Tweedy's conversion to Judaism. The original citation referenced an embedded video clip where Tweedy commented on the conversion to Stephen Colbert. Additional citations include the following: http://www.thewrap.com/stephen-colbert-celebrates-rosh-hashanah-by-bringing-back-the-atone-phone-video/; http://www.rollingstone.com/tv/lists/30-best-colbert-report-bits-20141215/on-notice-20141215 (under section for "Atone Phone"). I invite further discussion on this edit here in the talk section. One-Off Contributor ( talk) 04:37, 20 December 2014 (UTC)
Suggest creation of a new section titled "Acting" or "Television career" or similar. Tweedy appeared as "Scott Tanner" of the former band "Land Ho" in Episode 618 "Flu Season 2" of NBC's "Parks & Recreation", air date 04/10/14: http://www.nbc.com/parks-and-recreation/episode-guide/season-6/flu-season-2/618 Mikemclafferty ( talk) 16:00, 11 April 2014 (UTC)

@ FlightTime: Hello! I admit that this edit about Norah Jones is non-notable trivia, but I'd like to suggest we go back to this revision of the article page. Your revert undid my Norah Jones edit but I would argue that these edits are substantive and contain notable additions about Jeff's more recent solo albums and book.
