Green label

I think that a little research would show that the green-label version was 86 proof for a while before being watered down to 80. 2600:1004:B140:7F52:3DE2:9114:5076:DE33 (talk) 21:14, 8 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Wiki drinkers

Here, with true LA funky-rock. ౪ Santa ౪^99° 05:31, 17 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It was, actually, just a very short notice of inclusion for Keith Richards, removal of which was undue. Only at this point I have something to say: of course being pictured with a bottle in your hand or on your mouth doesn't necessarily makes one "notable drinker", his/her celebrity status makes one notable drinker. As for the ref, being pic'ed could really mean, although unlikely, that Keith, in this case, just happened to like holding a bottle in his hand, and a liquid in his mouth, throat and stomach, however article says explicitly "his favorite spirit" which, as a source, is due enough and clear enough, unless someone thinks we need stronger source, like, i don't know, a scholarly research, published journal paper? Twitter is just fun illustration, one article with explicit claim and lot of funn photos is quite enough - I believe we really do not need to overkill with refs on this one.--౪ Santa ౪^99° 20:13, 17 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

But in case someone thinks some sort of at least journo research on the case, you can use this one whisky-s-place-in-rock-n-roll-history, with some other famous names included. ౪ Santa ౪^99° 20:23, 17 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I don't understand what you are proposing to do to the article.לילך5 (talk) 20:27, 17 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

He's trying to justify his edit warring. I would be willing to discuss adding the Keith Richards photo, but there's no point since Santasa99 has already decided we're going to include it. GA-RT-22 (talk) 23:02, 17 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

What photo; and yes consensus is a must and editor should seek it, unless one is about to add something really not controversial at all, well refed, all the while added bit is deemed, using common sense, informative and an improvement. ౪ Santa ౪^99° 23:25, 17 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

By the way, I reverted undue removal, so, there is no justification of "edit-waring".--౪ Santa ౪^99° 23:29, 17 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Is there any actual evidence Green was a master destiller?

No offense guys, but as the subject says is there any citation Green was the one who taught Daniels anything or is this another baseless claim a black guy was in the room so he was actually the uncredited genius behind everything? I know some people are instantly going to jump on that as racist but ignoring that knee jerk reaction I've never seen any evidence Green was anything but unskilled labor, you know, like a slave. There is also a trend these past few years trying to claim African Americans actually invented everything but white guys swooped in and stole their recipes and inventions but when you look into it the claims are baseless and the "thief" often never even met the person he supposedly stole from. 67.177.112.52 (talk) 12:57, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There is no need to bring race into this. I see four sources. One, history.com, is unreliable and should be removed. One is the Jack Daniel's web site, which needs to be used with caution per WP:SELFSOURCE. One is Whiskey University, which seems dubious. And the last is Krass, and judging by the quotes this looks to me like OR. So I would say it's not well sourced at this point. I haven't read it, but there may be something here: [1] GA-RT-22 (talk) 16:18, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
