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.
This article has been viewed enough times in a single year to make it into the Top 50 Report annual list. This happened in 2011.

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]
Questionable attribution of influence
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]
Media after her death
"After her death was announced, media and camera crews appeared near Winehouse's residence to pay their respects."
