This nomination has been gathering dust for some time so I'll take on the review. -- Recon rabbit 15:19, 3 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Reconrabbit: Fixed the one broken source. I couldn't find anything much on Paul Alter beyond his having worked as a manager; no sources seemed to say who else he managed. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 17:17, 3 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

That makes sense then. I couldn't find anything either. -- Recon rabbit 16:05, 4 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Prose

Leading paragraph summarizes the main points of the article without obvious omissions or excessive detail.
History section provides the necessary background to the group, given none of the individual members of the band have enough material to write a full article right now. Interesting that Natural Bridge came up - Dinosaur Kingdom II is there.
Musical career:
- Any info on Rick Alter besides the fact that he is (presumably) a music manager?
No other notes here or on Musical style, Discography

References

Layout: 30 (gratefulweb) needs a full citation, currently just a title and URL. Otherwise fine

Spot checking

Checking 12 sources here, selected randomly (and "Pinmonkey drives on" since it's used so often). Skipping any that point to Whitburn 2017 / Country Weekly since I can't read them myself. Numbering based on this revision:

[2] Y Interesting note that their tour bus caught fire in 2002 but I don't know where you could fit that in here.
[4] Y
[7] Y
[10] Y
[16] Y
[18] Y
[22] Y
[23] Y
[27] Y
[28] Y but I would find an archive link for this because the website is falling apart
[30] ~~Needs full citation~~ Y
[33] Y

So far passages that have been checked are markedly different from the prose here, and no online copyright violations have been found so far.

Scope

Broad: Any notes I can make here are covered in my remarks in the Prose section, which has little to complain about.
Narrow: Details about any part of their career and history are described when relevant, clear effort has been made to include interesting or noteworthy parts of the band's history without getting off-track.

Stability

Neutrality: Presented without bias, quotes are clearly attributed.
Edit warring: Very low levels of activity in the edit history.

Images

Free/Fair use: Only image of the band used is of decent quality and has complete fair use rationale.
Relevance: Infobox image obviously good, secondary images of covered musician appropriately placed.
