This article was reviewed by The Guardian on October 24, 2005. (Link to review) Comments: It was rated 8/10. For more information about external reviews of Wikipedia articles and about this review in particular, see this page.
This article has been viewed enough times in a single week to appear in the Top 25 Report2 times. The weeks in which this happened:
The Legacy section already contains the following Ricks point: "Literary critic Christopher Ricks published Dylan's Visions of Sin, an appreciation of Dylan's work. Following Dylan's Nobel win, Ricks reflected: "I'd not have written a book about Dylan, to stand alongside my books on Milton and Keats, Tennyson and T.S. Eliot, if I didn't think Dylan a genius of and with language."
To this has been added a very long quote from Hitchens: "Christopher Hitchens recalled hearing Dylan at the Poetry Society at Oxford: "I was fairly soon hooked on what Philip Larkin called Dylan's 'cawing, derisive voice', and felt almost personally addressed by the lyrics of "Masters of War" and " Hard Rain", which seemed to encapsulate the way in which I felt about Cuba. Then there were the loving and less cawing strains of "Mr. Tambourine Man", "She Belongs to Me" and "Baby Blue"...I've since had all kinds of differences with Professor Christopher Ricks, but he is and always has been correct in maintaining that Dylan is one of the essential poets of our time, and it felt right to meet him tin the company of Shelley and Milton and Lowell.”
This repeats Ricks’s point, adds more poets (Shelley, Milton and Lowell) and tells us about Hitchens’s many differences with Professor Ricks "but he is and always has been correct in maintaining that Dylan is one of the essential poets of our time." Surely this just makes the Legacy section seem repetitive and bloated. Moreover, the Larkin phrase, "cawing and derisive", is already in the article. So I’ve cut this long addition.

It's been twenty years and two days since this appeared on the main page. Do you guys think the article would still be eligible to appear on the main page, or is further work needed? 750h+06:35, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@750h As an avid Wikipedia reader (not really an editor, sorry), I think the lede would need some work. It reads a bit awkwardly, and covers his early folk period twice over (one mention of Blowin in the wind would suffice). 90.143.141.72 (talk) 08:49, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That's a lot of small revisions. Looking at it quickly, I see some I don't like, some I do, and some in the middle. What do people think? Just for instance, I don't think taking out the description of the Nobel Prize is warranted - the Nobel Prize was a big deal.Brianyoumans (talk) 02:33, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I thought it was a v useful copy edit, pruning & tightening. A few phrases have gone which I regret but I welcome constructive attempt to keep this long WP article in good shape. Mick gold (talk) 22:49, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

On June 21, 2024, Dylan initiated the Outlaw Music Festival Tour, sharing the bill with Willie Nelson and other musicians.[406] ADD: Dylan's setlist during this tour is a departure from the Rough and Rowdy Ways Tour, including songs from throughout his career as well as several covers.
