Talk:Fender Marauder

In regards to the composition and quality of content in this article
This article is a mess. I’ve done my best with the material provided as far as editing the voice of the article while avoiding any substantial changes to the content itself - while the vast majority of the content is presented without citations, the subject itself is not without merit, and the meaning has essentially been kept, if not exactly the original message.

This is all to say that while I presently do not have the time to source the claims made in this article by myriad other editors, I believe a good first step toward raising the overall quality of the article is to rewrite the current content in a unified editorial voice, as opposed the disjointed presentation as it existed until now.

The Fender Marauder is unquestionably a notable and historic instrument, but aside from the paltry references provided (only one includes a page number!), the information this article presents appears to be sourced primarily from online guitar forum discussions, which in turn reference other forum discussions, and so on etcetera, forming an ouroboros of sub-par source material. Hearsay, for all intents and purposes.

I have added copious flags throughout in order to highlight just how insufficiently sourced this article is. As time allows, I will do what I can to turn these flags into citations wherever and whenever possible, but I can’t be the only editor doing this. Without concerted group effort, this article could easily tumble over the quality line to a point implicitly demanding of a request for deletion. A less kind reader would say this entire thing is little more than rumor and conjecture, but I’m not that mean.

It’s a cool guitar, let’s work together to make this article worthy of its subject. 🆃 🆁  🆂 ™ 14:29, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
