I'll review this. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 21:25, 12 May 2023 (UTC)

Earwig reveals no issues; there are substantial overlaps with a couple of pages but as far as I can tell they take their content from Wikipedia rather than the reverse. I've looked at the sources down to FN 100; I'm going to pause there as there are plenty to respond to already. I think this should probably be a fail, because updating the sourcing for this many footnotes is not a trivial job, but I'll hold off in case you can demonstrate that most of these are in fact reliable.

 * Some of the sources you cite are not reliable, as they are open for anyone to contribute content:
 * IMDB
 * Discogs is not a reliable source -- same reason.
 * Lyrics.com
 * What makes the following reliable sources?
 * loudandquiet.com. Per the about page it was started as a one-man operation and they don't say that ever changed.
 * thevinyldistrict.com. Per this page there seems to be only one contact person for multiple functions, which is usually a sign it's a one-man show.
 * Europopmusic.eu -- seems to be just two guys.
 * electricityclub.co.uk
 * nureference.co.uk
 * fourculture.com
 * sonic-boom.com
 * post-punk.com
 * side-line.com -- and the link is dead
 * atpfestival.com -- and the link is dead
 * magneticmag.com
 * new-reviews.co.uk
 * the stoolpigeon.co.uk
 * concertarchives.org -- for example they say they web-scrape to add data; that doesn't sound very reliable.
 * FN 37, Encyclotronic is dead and there's no archive link; do you have an alternative source?
 * For this interview, I can't tell if this is an official channel of some kind. Who owns this interview?  We can't link to copyright violations, so we need to know if the video owner has some kind of right to this.
 * , are you planning to work on this? Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 11:05, 19 May 2023 (UTC)
