::Thanks. Hopefully I'll start tackling the issues in earnest tomorrow. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 12:49, 15 June 2014 (UTC)

::I think these are all store links, which "cite" individual CD releases in the list near the bottom. I think this brief section probably wants redoing. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 12:49, 15 June 2014 (UTC)

:::I've removed the discography, as I'm not convinced the releases there were not self-promotion (I didn't add them), and an Allmusic discography does not mention any of them. The remaining link (a University of Michigan page that I think I added while trying to retro-source things) I've tagged for the minute.

::::I fixed the remaining dead link, but forgot to note it here. Checklinks gives no dead links. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 16:05, 30 June 2014 (UTC)

:::::The toolbox has disappeared.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 23:30, 1 July 2014 (UTC)

::::::Yes, toolserver is dead. Lots of problems reported. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 10:36, 2 July 2014 (UTC)

:::::::I can't imagine that the toolserver is down permanentnly. What is the forecast?--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 19:20, 2 July 2014 (UTC)

No idea. Check the Village pump or the Good article nominations talk page to see what happens. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 21:02, 2 July 2014 (UTC)

::Damn link rot. Fixed. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 12:34, 8 July 2014 (UTC)

;WP:LEAD

  • Upon reading the LEAD, I am not sure what to make of the claim that they "sporadically record". Does this mean that they make CDs on occasion or appear on television shows on occasion?--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 22:28, 13 June 2014 (UTC)

::I've removed this. Their notability is on concert performances and touring, as you might expect most traditional chorale music to be. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 09:15, 16 June 2014 (UTC)

  • Does their "involvement both on and beyond the campus of the university" include recruiting members from campuses other than the main Ann Arbor campus?--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 22:28, 13 June 2014 (UTC)

::No, I think I just put this in to demonstrate that the club is still a going concern. Reworded. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 17:51, 16 June 2014 (UTC)

;Incarnations and early tours

  • "which allowed singers to tackle smaller groups such as barbershop effectively"-seems imprecise. I think they tackled works arranged for smaller groups rather than the groups themselves.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 10:12, 15 June 2014 (UTC)

::I've gone for "requiring less singers" as an alternative. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 09:15, 16 June 2014 (UTC)

  • "The "Banjo" was dropped from the name in 1905, and "Mandolin" in 1924"- did these instruments continue to be performed despite the name change?--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 10:12, 15 June 2014 (UTC)

::The source doesn't say, just that the name reverted. I'll see if I can pull up another source. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 17:51, 16 June 2014 (UTC)

::: [https://ummgc.org/about/history_html_1 The official history] states, "the Banjo Club ceased to exist, and in 1923, the Mandolin Club also dropped from the group", which would suggest they stopped being used. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 16:05, 30 June 2014 (UTC)

::::Add this flavor to the text so that the reader can make the proper inferences.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 22:58, 1 July 2014 (UTC)

:::::I'm not quite sure what you mean but I've added the club history source and clarified the text accordingly. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 10:36, 2 July 2014 (UTC)

;The Duey Years and Later Tours

::Done Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 17:51, 16 June 2014 (UTC)

  • "The tour was planned so that this competition would be at the beginning, but the boat the club were travelling on was nearly a day late arriving." Did they miss part of the competition?--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 15:03, 15 June 2014 (UTC)

::Reworded Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 17:51, 16 June 2014 (UTC)

  • "The Glee Club also made appearances on the Dinah Shore Show, the Pat Boone Show,[33] and Ed Sullivan's "Toast of the Town"." What years?--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 15:03, 15 June 2014 (UTC)

::Done (and copyedited to be place chronologically per earlier comment) Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 17:51, 16 June 2014 (UTC)

;The Modern Era

:: Done Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 09:15, 16 June 2014 (UTC)

What's left to do with this? Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 16:05, 30 June 2014 (UTC)

:I have PASSed this article.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 06:37, 13 July 2014 (UTC)

Thanks Tony. I now await a Glee Club performance of "Sit on My Face"... Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 14:39, 13 July 2014 (UTC)
