Template:Ping 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/w/index.php?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)
- I looked at the edit history. That was annoying. How do we put the spouse field back? I tried, but it just wouldn't show up. Givemedonuts (talk) 21:31, 12 January 2021 (UTC)
- Template:Ping When I originally added it a couple years ago, I made the main infobox a "person" infobox, then embedded the musical artist infobox with the "module" field name. Then the spouse field goes into the "person" infobox (note the diff link I posted above). -- GravityIsForSuckers (talk) 21:40, 12 January 2021 (UTC)
- Template:Ping I fixed the infobox -- GravityIsForSuckers (talk) 04:13, 21 January 2021 (UTC)
- Oh, wow. I have nooooooo idea about these things. Cheers to you! Givemedonuts (talk) 09:50, 21 January 2021 (UTC)

Removed commentary
I came across two parenthetical comments within the article that did not seem appropriate there, and I removed them both. The paragraph, as it existed prior to me removing the two comments (but with references removed to not mess up this Talk Page), is as follows:
In 1952 Holly and Jack Neal participated as a duo billed as Buddy and Jack in a talent contest on a local television show. After Neal left, he was replaced by Bob Montgomery, and they were billed as Buddy and Bob. They soon started performing on the Sunday Party show on KDAV in 1953 and performed live gigs in Lubbock. At that time, Holly was influenced by late-night radio stations that played blues and rhythm and blues (R&B). (no evidence of this, at all) He would sit in his car with Curtis and tune to distant radio stations that could only be received at night, when local transmissions ceased. Holly then modified his music by blending his earlier country and western influence with R&B. (there's no evidence of this being true and its reference isn't credible)
If this is to be debated, then I think that discussion is more appropriate here. synthfiend (talk) 22:24, 14 August 2024 (UTC)

I provided 3 different reliable sources for Buddy Holly being in the genre of Country Music, most reliable being the Texas Country Music Hall of Fame website, where he was inducted in 2022. In addition to this, it also states with more sources in the article that Holly started out performing as a country music act with a country music band. It was only later that he began performing Rock and Roll. Therefore, I believe that Holly should be put under country music. 192.16.99.36 (talk) 18:36, 2 December 2024 (UTC)

When where his glasses found?
The article currently says March 1980 and, as far as I can see, does not site a source. This publication is from the end of February 1980: https://newspaper.library.tamu.edu/lccn/sn86088544/1980-02-29/ed-1/seq-6/. 2A02:8070:8E82:1040:FC41:3364:C440:FE45 (talk) 15:19, 27 February 2025 (UTC)
