Frankel, Daniel (2011-07-23). "Singer Amy Winehouse Found Dead at Her London Flat". Reuters. Retrieved 2011-07-25. ...Winehouse's Wikipedia page has already been updated to say she died of a drug overdose -- although no one in official authority has publicly confirmed that.

I see this article is of Good Article (GA) status. As someone who has been involved in assessing articles nominated for GA, I would have failed this one on account of its incoherent structure, despite its being comprehensive in scope. Billsmith60 (talk) 22:04, 9 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
At the end of the "early life" section, a source is mentioned in connection to how Winehouse listened and was inspired by certain artists. I read the two original articles and they do not seem to mention these artists by name, and as such seems to me to be conjecture.
"She was influenced by Sarah Vaughan and Dinah Washington, the latter of whom she was already listening to home."
Whilst I agree that this is not at all implausible in her field of jazz singing, the cited sources does not explicitly mention this, and as this is a protected article I am not able to edit it myself. I am also confused by the wording of "the latter of whom" which does not seem to have any basis at all in the cited article. Gedigen Varelse (talk) 03:17, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the alert! Figuring there would be some valid influences described somewhere in sources, I looked at a few nearby footnotes and found a good interview with Access All Areas in which Amy names the singers that most affected her style. I also removed a blog post per WP:SPS. I hope my change suits your request. Binksternet (talk) 07:02, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Not done:Back to Black is a biopic film about Winehouse, not a documentary using archival footage of her, which is the distinction. It is also mentioned already here: Amy Winehouse § Biopic.That said, I don't see the need for a filmography section as they use archive footage, rather than her starring in them. As examples, Freddie Mercury has no section for documentaries using archival footage, such as Freddie Mercury: The Final Act. Bowie does have Moonage Daydream (film) listed but under a subsection for documentaries, the rest of which were made during his life. I am removing that section for that reason, particularly as the documentaries are mentioned in Amy Winehouse §§ Posthumous retrospectives and Documentary.
