- First hook doesnt meet requirements, ALT 1 and ALT2 are good. All other requirements are met. Jdanbeck (talk) 20:57, 3 April 2015 (UTC)
 * No copywrite violations to my knowledge.
 * The first hook is not directly mentioned in the article; the Supremes are, but not how the Solitaries were mistaken (by whom) for the Supremes (and not the Mowtown, so that should be clarified as well).
 * Plenty of sourcing and 1 inline citation per paragraph.
 * Article meets length requirement (1140 words)
 * Newly edited (April 3 as of April 3)


 * Thanks for reviewing. Hines is mentioned in the third paragraph under History. "It was during this period that the group's best known publicity photo was taken, showing Curtis, Gaston, Baylor, Williams and Willis in white jackets procured for them by their manager at the time, Maurice Hines (father of the noted actor and dancer Gregory Hines)." Re: ALT1, I see now why that isn't clear. The Supremes song was included on the Solitaires CD because someone at Old Town mistakenly put it with the Solitaires stuff; and subsequently, people heard the song and thought they were hearing the Solitaires. --Rosekelleher (talk) 22:51, 3 April 2015 (UTC)


 * Oh my mistake you are spot on for Hines. So both ALT 1 and ALT 2 are good.
