Hey, I'm going to be reviewing this article. Expect comments by the end of the week. Some Dude From North Carolina (talk) 22:56, 31 March 2021 (UTC)
Basic stuff and comments
[edit]- Infobox looks good.
- I switched to
{{infobox company}}
, seems to work better. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 11:19, 1 April 2021 (UTC)
- I switched to
- "manufacturerd" is a typo.
- Fixed. As a suggestion, if you spot an obvious typo (this one caused by some last minute lead adjustments less than 24 hours ago), the best thing to do is just fix it directly. If I hadn't fixed it, I'm certain somebody else would have done not too long afterward. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 11:19, 1 April 2021 (UTC)
- Add serial commas after "harpsichords" and Genesis' Tony Banks.
- Are you sure that's grammatically correct? It's been a long time (well, several decades) since I was studying formal English at school, but my recollection was you never put a comma before the final "and" in a list. Can you cite something from the MOS? Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 11:19, 1 April 2021 (UTC)
- @Ritchie333: It's a serial comma issue (WP:Oxford comma) which states phrases listing two or more things should have a comma before the "and". It's grammatically correct with American English, which should be used as this article discusses topics from the U.S. Some Dude From North Carolina (talk) 00:02, 2 April 2021 (UTC)
- Oh right. Always get confused with non BrEng stuff. Anyway, all instances (think it's just the three mentioned here) done. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 12:00, 2 April 2021 (UTC)
- @Ritchie333: Commas are still needed after "harpsichords", "the Lovin' Spoonful", and Stevie Wonder. Some Dude From North Carolina (talk) 12:30, 2 April 2021 (UTC)
- *sigh* Done. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 12:33, 2 April 2021 (UTC)

- Try expanding the lead, and mentioning when the corporation went defunct.
- According to WP:LEADLENGTH, an article of this size (about 9,000 bytes of prose) should have about two paragraphs, so I think the lead is about right. I've expanded it a little, though
- "less voices" → "fewer voices"
- D'oh, fixed Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 11:19, 1 April 2021 (UTC)
- Remove the comma after "sixty-eight keys".
- Done, also changed "sixty-eight" to 68 to be consistent with other key descriptions in the article.
- Add a serial comma after "phaser".
- Also add serial commas after "the Lovin' Spoonful", Stevie Wonder, and Mike Pinder.
- See above. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 11:19, 1 April 2021 (UTC)
- Remove the comma after "Hammond organ".
- Archive sources (either manually or with this tool).
- If it's okay with you, can we wait for the usual bot to do this? It seems to do the job well, probably better than I would manually. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 11:19, 1 April 2021 (UTC)

- ... that an RMI sounded best with a Hi-Scream Cone? Source: "While the Electra-piano would work with any guitar amplifier, RMI brochures suggested using it with a 100-watt RMI 140-series amp .... RMI also sold an accessory .... that could be placed on top of the amp to blast out high frequencies. RMI nicknamed the device the "Hi-Scream Cone". (Lenhoff, Alan; Robertson, David (2019).
