Old Dan Tucker[edit]
I just expanded this article from a stub and would like feedback, particularly from those who know about music and musicology. Does the article flow correctly? What needs to be done before it is ready for WP:FAC? Thanks, — BrianSmithson 08:43, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

- As done in WP:FOOTNOTE, footnotes usually are located right after a punctuation mark (as recommended by the CMS, but not mandatory), such that there is no space inbetween. For example, the sun is larger than the moon [2]. is usually written as the sun is larger than the moon.[2]
