Brooks & Dunn

This peer review discussion has been closed.
I've looking for suggestions to improve the article. This has long been on my to-do list, but with B&D as one of the biggest acts in country music history, I'd love for them to be at least GA level. I've structured the article like I have other country music GAs such as Joe Diffie, Clay Walker, Shenandoah (band) and Montgomery Gentry.

Comments good news – some comments. Bad news – I know nothing about the subject matter, so please excuse my ignorance...

• " They were paired by record ..." do you mean the producer "manufactured" the group by putting these two together?
• "Brooks wrote songs ..." but then just a passing note that Dunn charted two singles...

• That's because Dunn was comparatively less active in the 80s.

• "the duo recorded ten studio albums" would prefer to read "Brooks & Dunn recorded ten studio albums"
• Our B. W. article has a space between B and W.
• "Arista Nashville" was previously (and exclusively) referred to as "Arista Records".

• Because they didn't move to Arista Nashville until 1996.

• "1990-2010" en-dash per WP:DASH required.
• "Ronnie Dunn" not exactly an informative caption...
• "b-side" I thought that was usually "B-side"?

• I've never gotten an answer on that.

• "it was led off by its title track, which peaked at number 4" what does "it was led off" mean? and number 4 -> number four.

• I was told that "Number 4" vs. "Number four" are both correct, as long as the article is consistent between which of the two it uses. Chart positions can use digits.

• "Kix Brooks" similar comment about WP:CAPTION.
• "these songs[…]with " spaces before and after the captured ellipsis.
• In the refs, don't mix formats for the same kind of date, i.e. don't have yyyy-mm-dd and mm, dd, yyyy for publication date.
• Be consistent with the presentation of CMT. Is it CMT or CMT?
• Surprised the majority of dates are dmy when this is a US article, would have thought mdy would prevail, but as long as you're consistent......
