Work needed

[edit]

This article, which was promoted to FA in 2005, has not kept up with standards and needs significant work if it is not to be taken to WP:FAR. Overall, referencing is lacking, especially in the Popular music section, where numerous paragraphs are completely lacking references, and where there are numerous unsourced opinion statements ("popular", "thriving", etc.). Existing referencing also needs attention, with books lacking page numbers, some references lacking identifying information (What is Ref #19? It is just identified as "The Urbanite"?) and dead links (#21, for instance). I am concerned that one reference is used to source the entirety of the Early independence and Early 20th century sections, especially as the source gives no pointers as to why the authors of the "essay" should be considered experts (it says they "specialize", but gives no published works - books, journal articles, etc.). It appears that other possible sources have been overlooked; for instance, see:

Also, there seem to be numerous books on Maryland in general that mention music. At this point, as I said above, the article does not meet the featured article criteria and needs to be either improved or taken to FAR. Dana boomer (talk) 15:06, 5 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
