Infobox and lead

Target Alt-country to Alternative country
Either move the refs in the infobox to the body if they can be used to go into detail about the genres listed them or remove them for genre sourcing if useless; refs should not be in infoboxes unless absolutely required
Where is the indie folk genre sourced?
No association with Blue Ranger is mentioned in the body
The word core does not need speech marks around it
Change alternative country to alt-country for consistency
"Pinegrove spent its early years self-releasing its music" → "Pinegrove's early years were spent self-releasing music"
"their debut album, Meridian, in 2012" → "their debut studio album, Meridian (2012)"
"the group issued an" → "the band issued an" but this was re-released under the record label so reword accordingly
"Their second LP," → "Their second studio album," to be specific
"amassing a devoted" → "gathering a devoted" to be less repetitive with the body
"music critics' top-ten-year-end lists." → "music critics' top-10 year-end lists." per MOS:NUM with the target
"After recording their third full-length," → "After recording its successor,"
"the band took a year-long" → "Pinegrove took a year-long"
"with whom he had a relationship." → "with whom they toured." because the relationship part is not properly sourced
"Skylight saw proper release in" → "The album saw proper release independently in"
"for their fourth effort, Marigold, released in 2020." → "for their fourth studio album, Marigold (2020)."
The literary lyricism part does not appear to be properly written anywhere in the body; it is only said that Hall has literature influence
Target loyal following to Cult following per the context
"which refer to themselves as" → "which call themselves"
"where Hall attended college." → "in Gambier, where Hall attended college." with the target, as otherwise it sounds like his college was at the nature reserve
"The group is known for" → "They are known for"
You should probably reword the iconography part in the body because even though the dual squares are mentioned, the style is not called geometric
It is not written anywhere in the body that ampersand is used for their artwork and merchandise
"Pinegrove are also known for" → "Pinegrove are also recognized for" to be less repetitive
Target civil rights to Civil and political rights

History

Early years (2010–2014)

The meadow img is not needed even though the band were formed in Montclair, as this type of area is not mentioned
"childhood. Their fathers" → "childhood, during which their fathers"
"The two first began" → "The former two first began" to specify it was them and not the fathers
Commas are not needed around the Pug Fuglies since this is the body, not lead
"The next year," → "During the next grade,"

"from Levine's younger sibling, Nick," → "from Zack's younger brother Nick Levine," per MOS:SAMESURNAME

Final comments and verdict

On hold until all of the issues are fixed; great to help cut down on the outstanding nominations, but the main issue here is the original research. --K. Peake 17:13, 2 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I am going to have to ✗ Fail this article, as it has been on hold for two weeks and only seen that number of edits from the nominator plus they were both more than a week ago. If the nominator makes a return to actively editing Wiki and wants me to reopen, I possibly will. --K. Peake 06:32, 16 March 2021 (UTC
