Marching Band peer review[edit]

well, if anybody is watching this page, you're probably already watching the Marching band page, but in case you aren't, please go over and check out the peer review in progress. Thanks. Fsiler 08:51, 30 October 2005 (UTC) (former MI member)[reply]

Chief[edit]

I feel this article has a brief but good description of official reaction to the Chief situation. Should this stuff be all offloaded to the Chief Illiniwek page? I don't mind it as is, but maybe it's better to consolidate where possible. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fsiler (talk • contribs) 03:53, October 30, 2005

Wikified[edit]

I just wikified this article and added a bunch of info from the MI website. However, I wasn't able to find any info about the history of the band, or the current director(s). If someone could add a band logo, year founded, director, and uniform description for the info box that would be great.

Multiple sections with no citations[edit]

Lack of citations/references continues to be a source of criticism lodged against many college marching band articles on Wikipedia, sometimes leading to suggestions for article deletion. Options for improvement (and clearing out the flag/s) include adding a reliable/verifiable citation/reference for each statement made (labor intensive and time-consuming) or deleting content without citations (for now) until it can be re-added with supporting citations/references (still labor intensive, but resolves the flag/s more quickly). If the latter option is chosen, it can be helpful to find, select, and document the sources to be cited ahead of time, and then only add statements backed up by those sources which can be cited easily because that homework has already been done. Remember, while remove might seem extreme and there might be fear of losing valuable, but unreferenced content, in reality that content remains available in the article's history and can be resurrected from that history once it can be cited. Verbose Edit summaries (during deletion) help make such retrievable easier. Rather than flag the entire article, each affected section has been tagged separately to allow gradual improve and resolution over time. The tag for each section can simply be removed once that section is properly referenced. ShoneBrooks (talk) 02:05, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
