@TenPoundHammer: I started review. Comments will be below. Review within 2023 GAN Backlog Drives. Eurohunter (talk) 19:29, 2 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Eurohunter Just wanted to make sure you don't forget about this. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 15:07, 7 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@TenPoundHammer: Thanks for letting me know, but I have an eye on all my started reviews. I should check it soon. Eurohunter (talk) 16:38, 7 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

History

First header, level three for top is missing. Eurohunter (talk) 21:25, 9 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@TenPoundHammer: It's still missing. Eurohunter (talk) 16:39, 15 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Eurohunter: My bad, I missed this one. Is that what you meant? Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 16:43, 15 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
"The Buffalo Club was founded in 1996 in Nashville, Tennessee by John Dittrich, best known as the drummer for the country music band Restless Heart." - he created it as the only member at the time? Eurohunter (talk) 21:25, 9 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Rewrote this.
"Initially, the group was to be called Johnny Ringo, but was renamed The Buffalo Club as representatives of Rising Tide disliked the original name." - what it was supposed to mean "Johnny Ringo"? Eurohunter (talk) 21:25, 9 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- I couldn't find anything about the origin of the Johnny Ringo name.
"Dittrich had previously worked with Beckett on a movie soundtrack to which Restless Heart had contributed, and chose him to be The Buffalo Club's producer because he "admired" Beckett's production style. Additionally, Hemby noted that Beckett was less controlling than other producers with whom he had worked previously." - for which film was that soundtrack? Eurohunter (talk) 21:25, 9 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- I couldn't find which soundtrack this refers to either.

Discography

Use common table (column order) format - example from Basshunter discography. Eurohunter (talk) 21:25, 9 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Eurohunter: I don't know what you mean by this. I don't think the header List of studio albums, with selected chart positions and details, certifications and sales figures is necessary since they only released one album, it wasn't certified, and sales figures are not known. And there's really nothing else to add. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 15:45, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@TenPoundHammer: I fixed it. Eurohunter (talk) 17:04, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Album format is missing. Eurohunter (talk) 21:25, 9 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

References

Links to AllMusic and Billboard are missing. Eurohunter (talk) 21:25, 9 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't know what you mean by "the links are missing".
@TenPoundHammer: Just there is no link. Eurohunter (talk) 16:37, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I still don't know what you mean. 2, 5, 8, and 12 all properly link to AllMusic for me, while 4, 10, 14, and 22 all properly link to Billboard. Which number ref(s) are not showing a link for you? Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 16:41, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Eurohunter: I still don't know what you mean here. Can you tell me which refs don't have a link? because they all seem to have a link to me. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 18:13, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@TenPoundHammer: References 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 12, 15, 22 and reference 17 could be more complete. Eurohunter (talk) 19:56, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
2 - added author

4 - I don't see anything else to add

5 - Same (the AllMusic bio is uncredited, and sourcing rules do not approve of generic credits like "staff")

8 - I don't see anything else to add (no author credits)

10 - uncredited author again, but I added the full title of the section (Reviews & Previews) and an editor credit

12 - I don't see anything else to add (no author credits)

15 - CMT, again, I don't see anything else to add

22 - again, I don't see anything else to add

Could you please be more specific again? Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 20:06, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@TenPoundHammer: Reference 14 there is link to Billboard article on Wikipedia and the other references have no. Eurohunter (talk) 11:15, 12 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Terms like "Billboard" should only be linked the first time they appear. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 16:18, 12 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Eurohunter: MOS:REPEATLINK says "Billboard" and "Allmusic" should only be linked the first time they appear. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 15:19, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@TenPoundHammer: No. "Citations stand alone in their usage, so there is no problem with repeating the same link in many citations within an article; e.g. |work=The Guardian." Eurohunter (talk) 15:58, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Eurohunter: I stand corrected. I linked them all. Anything else you see? Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 16:07, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@TenPoundHammer: There is error in reference number 9. Eurohunter (talk) 18:40, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Eurohunter: The "Others" error? Now fixed. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 03:19, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Eurohunter: has everything been fixed to your approval now? Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 15:14, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@TenPoundHammer: There are still unanswered points. Eurohunter (talk) 15:23, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Eurohunter: Which ones? Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 15:27, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@TenPoundHammer: Above and under this hearder. Eurohunter (talk) 15:33, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Reference one isn't working. Eurohunter (talk) 21:25, 9 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- The Oldies.com link is dead and not on archive.org. I removed it since it didn't seem to have anything not already in other sources.
Add archived versions of references with archive-url parameter. Eurohunter (talk) 21:25, 9 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Doing... Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 15:49, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Eurohunter: I archived all the urls except for newspapers.com, where I used their "clipping" function instead. The link to the "Nothin' Less Than Love" video was unavailable on archive.org or any other archive, and I couldn't find any other reference to the video even existing, so I removed it. Is there anything else you see that still needs to be fixed? Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 19:33, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Replace parameter "Work" or "Publisher" with "Website" in references. Eurohunter (talk) 21:25, 9 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I made some minor fixes. Eurohunter (talk) 21:25, 9 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Eurohunter: Attended to most of your issues, although I'm confused as to what you mean by "the links are missing". Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 01:44, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Eurohunter: Anything else? Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 15:14, 15 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@TenPoundHammer: Reference number 23 doesn't work. Eurohunter (talk) 15:49, 15 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Eurohunter: Strange, it works just fine for me. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 16:09, 15 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Eurohunter: That particular RPM archive can be a bit fiddly at times. I swapped it out for PDFs of the back issues of RPM. Does that work for you? Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 16:23, 15 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@TenPoundHammer: It's almost finished. Use url-status in references. Eurohunter (talk) 16:45, 15 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Eurohunter: Done Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 16:50, 15 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Weird, didn't catch that one. Done Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 16:59, 15 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/The Buffalo Club; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

New enough GA. QPQ present. Hook fact checks out and is quite unusual indeed. No textual issues. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 04:41, 18 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Sammi Brie and TenPoundHammer: The hook needs to be cited no later than the end of the sentence in the article. Bruxton (talk) 20:02, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Bruxton: Should have caught that. Added a second cite invoke there. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 20:04, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
