Completing the original lineup was lead – these two sentences start exactly the same. so which completed the lineup the band was then invited to perform for a showcase – remove then He co-produced with guitarists Richard Bennett and Steve Fishell, – add it before with Holt also quit the band after only one album – remove also Jerry Dale McFadden began accompanying the band in concert – isn't concert supposed to be plural Mark Deming of AllMusic thought that Cook's production – AllMusic needs to be italicized covered the 1934 Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart standard "Blue Moon" – Hart needs to be possessive "Blue Moon" for the soundtrack of the soundtrack of the film Apollo 13 – remove of the soundtrack MCA released the band's next album, Music for All Occasions – commas not needed This album was led off by the single "Here Comes the Rain" – change this to the "Here Comes the Rain", and with former NRBQ member Al Anderson – pretty sure comma not needed Mark Deming of AllMusic wrote that it – AllMusic needs to be italicized Joel Bernstein of Country Standard Time noted that the band – italicize Country Standard Time At the 38th Grammy Awards in February 1996: Music for All Occasions – shouldn't the colon be a comma this song would also receive a Grammy Award nomination for Best Country Performance – change ths to the In May 1997 Malo also previewed new songs at live sessions – comma after 1997 release of their next studio album, Trampoline – comma not needed John D.

	1b. it complies with the list incorporation .
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.	spotchecks for refs 6, 9, 18, 26, 43, 48, 63, 71, and 73 are all good but nothing seems to appear for ref 34
	2d. it contains no copyright violations or plagiarism.	the copyvio detector recorded a 44.1% violation possibility, but the stuff was put in quotes and other things like the album's names were considered a violation, which are not

	4. Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each.

6. Illustrated, if possible, by media such as audio :

	6b. media are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions .
	7. Overall assessment.

@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.

• As for sources:
  • MusicRow has an editorial and supervising staff that includes music journalists such as Robert K. Oermann.
  • The Weekly Wire source was dead so I removed that info entirely.
  • I swapped Daily Country with Elmore Magazine
  • I swapped Audiophile with PopMatters

All looks good and you seem to be correct I did not know that. The only thing I'm still seeeing is what makes Tejanonation reliable ― Kaleeb18^Talk_Caleb 12:53, 7 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

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.
