... that Bups Saggu learned to play the tabla at the local gurdwara in Wolverhampton, but later moved on to playing dhol because he "took a liking to the larger and louder sound"? Source: [1] "learning the tabla at the local Gurdwara...I took a liking to the larger and louder sound of the dhol"
ALT1:... that Bups Saggu learned to play the tabla, but later moved on to playing dhol because he "took a liking to the larger and louder sound"? Source: [2] "learning the tabla...I took a liking to the larger and louder sound of the dhol"
Moved from draft on 15 October so qualifies as a new article. RPS=2,127 B (358 words). ALT0 and ALT1 are variations of the same information. I think ALT0 is preferable because it says where he learned to play and that is an interesting fact, so I'm provisionally striking out ALT1. The article is certainly well sourced, including the hook. There is no POV, OR or COPYVIO. QPQ done. Definitely good to go. Well done, Muhandes. Let me know if I can help further. No Great Shaker (talk) 09:55, 17 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Yoninah: I left those as self-reminders and forgot to remove them. I would have preferred to find the dates, but I think the sentence works well enough without them. Anyway, the "when?" tags are now gone. --Muhandes (talk) 20:23, 26 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. I also wondered what the tags were doing there because the sentences made sense. Restoring tick per No Great Shaker's review. Yoninah (talk) 20:26, 26 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
