 * I will do this review.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 03:43, 13 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Hopefully I'll start tackling the issues in earnest tomorrow. Ritchie333  (talk)  (cont)   12:49, 15 June 2014 (UTC)


 * The toolbox to the right shows about 14 or 15 problematic citation issues.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 22:22, 13 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)
 * Wikipedia Signpost/2014-07-02/Technology report explains things. this page suggest that there is still one semi-problematic link.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 20:42, 7 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Damn link rot. Fixed. <b style="color:#7F007F">Ritchie333</b> <sup style="color:#7F007F">(talk) <sup style="color:#7F007F">(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  <sup style="color:#7F007F;">(talk)  <sup style="color:#7F007F;">(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  <sup style="color:#7F007F;">(talk)  <sup style="color:#7F007F;">(cont)   17:51, 16 June 2014 (UTC)


 * Not sure if this is an adequate summary, since i have not read the main body yet.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 22:28, 13 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  <sup style="color:#7F007F;">(talk)  <sup style="color:#7F007F;">(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  <sup style="color:#7F007F;">(talk)  <sup style="color:#7F007F;">(cont)   17:51, 16 June 2014 (UTC)
 * 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. <b style="color:#7F007F">Ritchie333</b> <sup style="color:#7F007F">(talk) <sup style="color:#7F007F">(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. <b style="color:#7F007F">Ritchie333</b> <sup style="color:#7F007F">(talk) <sup style="color:#7F007F">(cont)  10:36, 2 July 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)

Thanks Tony. I now await a Glee Club performance of "Sit on My Face"... <b style="color:#7F007F">Ritchie333</b> <sup style="color:#7F007F">(talk) <sup style="color:#7F007F">(cont)  14:39, 13 July 2014 (UTC)
