 * Symbol question.svg Interesting life, on good sources, no copyvio obvious. Article and hook: I don't like "under" for the player-conductor relationship, how about "with" or "conducted by". I understand "first violin" as all playing in the section (vs. "second violin", while "principal violin" is the section leader, no? You could also say "concert master". Hook: please remove "legendary" (won't make a reader click) but add "racially", - simly "integrated" told me nothing, and I may not be the only one. How about a (piped) link to the orchestra? - Article:
 * A header for a one-sentence paragraph seems too much of a good thing.
 * Please reduce adjectives such as "famed".
 * Please have one ref minimum per paragraph.
 * How do you feel about an infobox?
 * You will have to supply a qpq review. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:48, 16 July 2018 (UTC)

 * ✅ Have gone thru article and modified/expanded.  JGHowes   talk  03:00, 18 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the expansion. Getting closer, but we still have unreferenced paragraphs, and you'll need to review another article from the nominations. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:00, 18 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Done! Thanks,, for your helpful comments.  JGHowes   talk  01:37, 19 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Good, thank you, I could find out which, but kindly link it here, for others to check. Did you think about "principal" versus "first" violin? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:17, 19 July 2018 (UTC)
 * It was changed to Concertmaster as you suggested and your edit makes it clear. The qpq link is here -  JGHowes   talk  15:22, 19 July 2018 (UTC)
 * I meant "first" in the hook ;) - Thank you for the review of Template:Did you know nominations/Interstate 86 (Idaho)!
 * Symbol voting keep.svg Spanish sources accepted AGF, you decide first vs. principal ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:32, 19 July 2018 (UTC)
