GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

Is it reasonably well written?
A. Prose is "clear and concise", without copyvios, or spelling and grammar errors:

B. MoS compliance for lead, layout, words to watch, fiction, and lists:
Is it factually accurate and verifiable?
A. Has an appropriate reference section:

B. Citation to reliable sources where necessary:
The final paragraph in the "Church music" section has a quote, but no citation directly after it. That needs to be fixed. Also, same thing in the "Classical music" section, 2nd paragraph. All sources are offline, but are reputable and published through third party sources, so I'm accepting them AGF.

This issue was resolved.

C. No original research:
Is it broad in its coverage?
A. Major aspects:

B. Focused:
Is it neutral?
Fair representation without bias:
Is it stable?
No edit wars, etc:
Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?
A. Images are tagged with their copyright status, and valid fair use rationales are provided for non-free content:
One image was tagged with a US-specific tag that didn't include other countries. I updated said tag, as this is a minor issue.

B. Images are provided if possible and are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions:
Overall:
Pass or Fail:
Mostly there, just those two instances of quotes that I mention above.

Issues resolved.

Thanks for taking this on. Both footnotes sorted (assuming I got the right ones). Thanks.--SabreBD (talk) 00:05, 16 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
