GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

Given your previous work on articles pertaining to women in country music, I figured this one would go down rather easily. I wanted to get to it earlier, but I was extremely busy with work and then came down with a cold.

  1. It is reasonably well written.
    a (prose, spelling, and grammar):   b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):  
    As I've said before, the only thing I would continue to watch for is overlinking. You caught it with "Don Williams" in an early paragraph, but another paragraph had "Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue" wikilinked twice in a row. I tweaked a couple sentences for better flow, but otherwise you're all good here.
  2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.
    a (reference section):   b (citations to reliable sources):   c (OR):   d (copyvio and plagiarism):  
    I removed one quote that was sourced to MusicianGuide.com. That source has been deemed unreliable in the past (no obvious evidence of authorship or editorial oversight), and I could not find anything else that corroborated the quote. Other than that, the sourcing is very strong here.
  3. It is broad in its coverage.
    a (major aspects):   b (focused):  
    I'm used to seeing more detail on each individual album, but given the overall length of the article and number of albums released, I feel this still addresses all the major points succinctly. If you can find anything explaining the changes in record labels, that might be useful.
  4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.
    Fair representation without bias:  
  5. It is stable.
    No edit wars, etc.:  
  6. It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.
    a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales):   b (appropriate use with suitable captions):  
  7. Overall:
    Pass/Fail:  
    Thanks again for your work in this field.
