2. Verifiable with no original research:
2a. it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline.
2b. reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose).
  • What makes Weeklywire.com, MusicRow, The Daily Country, Audiophile, and tejanonation reliable
2c. it contains no original research.

@Kaleeb18: Addressing your concerns here.

  • I think I got all of the 1a points. The only one I'm contesting is italicizing AllMusic and Country Standard Time. I couldn't find anything within our own manuals of style saying whether or not website names are italicized, but most offsite manuals of style agree on not italicizing website names. If you can find something saying they should be, let me know.

Ed Friedland

[edit]

I don't know if this is considered a usable source, but on Ed Friedland's facebook page of April 22, 2023 he announced he had left The Mavericks. Raul Malo is now playing bass. Friedland is touring with another band now, so it's probably safe to move him into the "former" column.
