Evaluate the drafted changes
It looks like user Pharmacy03 is working on editing the synopsis in their sandbox. The user expanded the synopsis section with their contribution of multiple sentences to describe the song as well as added sources. The user added a citation in the lead to reflect their changes to the synopsis, which is good. The lead section does a good job of briefly summarizing the article while not being overly detailed. The content added is relevant to the article, as well as up to date. The content does not address the equity gap in Wikipedia, but the only way that could be done in this particular article that I can think of is if there are any artists of an underrepresented background that could be included. The tone of the article is neutral and simply informs readers of The Black Velvet Band. The article uses a good variety of sources, from pages of lyrics to singles charts to websites of music libraries. I think that the article could benefit from additional sources, such as including links to the songs in the "recordings" section. The organization of the article is good, but one suggestion I have is including a section describing who originally wrote the song and how/why the song has become so popular in folk music. The media used in the article is helpful to the overall article, including an audio file of the song and the album cover of another version of the song. Overall, I think the article is well-written and does a good job of educating readers on the song. The only edits I would suggest are the ones I have already mentioned, such as searching for underrepresented artists' versions of the song and including more sources in the "recordings" section.
