  1. Every one of their concerts are reviewed (not just mentioned, but actually given a detailed review) in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, a notable and reliable newspaper.
  2. Has released several albums on a major (Regent Records (UK)) label

It could be argued that it "has become the most prominent representative of a notable style or of the local scene of a city", although I'll grant that's up for debate. Additionally, it performs original works (i.e., commissions) by very notable composers, Ned Rorem among them. In addition to the reviews in the Post-Dispatch, there have also been feature articles about the group, as well as programs featuring their music on KFUO-FM (which is not a "national" radio station, I guess, but still a prominent local one). I can probably provide sources to back up the claims of notability and whatnot, but they should be easily locatable on http://www.stltoday.com (the Post-Dispatch's website), as well as other stuff one might find on Google. Feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you feel like taking up this task and would like my assistance. Thanks in advance! Dgcopter (talk) 03:01, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Bowing - Needs information about the Oriental (Persian?) practice of touching the forehead, and flourishing the hand in a circular motion away from the body while bowing at the waist. I would especially like to know if there is a word for that peculiar hand gesture. When and where used, and by whom? I know I must have seen it a Hollywood movie a hundred times.

  • Jeep- The "Off-road abilities" section needs to be expanded, as off-road ability is what the brand is known for. Jeep-specific features are encouraged, even on older models. Plasticboob (talk) 00:34, 1 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • 80th Academy Awards- The voting trends section is too short. It lacks the analysis of the field of nominees about box office performance, information about nominees, etc. A good example on how to write for this section is the 78th Academy Awards Voting Trends and reaction section.

  • Billy Ray Cyrus - Cyrus' awards section should include every award, nominations and wins. Some I've took care of, but not all of them are present at this time. EnDaLeCoMpLeX (talk) 15:54, 7 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Maoricrater explorata - This article is very short in general, I refrain from stubbing the article because I think that there's more info on it than just basic information gleened from a single book. Maybe the gang from WikiProject Gastropods could do some expansion work? Walksonwalls (talk) 00:14, 24 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Basketball position - Basketball position names were originally based on defensive, not offensive, positions: Guards were named, because on defense, they were closest to the basket. They "guarded" the basket. Forwards were named because they were the "forward" defenders. Centers occupied the same positions whether on defense or offense. That configuration holds, now, on offense. On defense, however, the guards may now be in the former forward position, and the forwards in the former guard position. Basketball strategy has evolved, yet positions retain their original names, however meaningless those names now are.
  • Petroglyph Games - The article is too short to be able to describe the video game company fully. --Darth Narutorious (talk) 07:29, 22 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Stephano(Shakespeare) - This article has very short Performance History and Origin sections.
  • Frost line - This article has start to a list of example frost lines but only one example. More are needed from a contrasting variety of world locations. Article could also use a more in-depth explaination of the phenomenon and perhaps more explaination of its implications for building engineering (as article is tagged as part of WikiProject:Civil engineering) 198.175.55.5 (talk) 19:10, 20 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • GIMP - Please improve the release history table or spin the history off to a new page if it gets too long, similar to that of Firefox. cheers-to-all (talk) 10:26, 17 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • City Year - This very successful non profit organization needs a better wikipedia page that what it has. Been trying to expand this page. needs more meat. i have started elaborating on what the organization does. i haven't touched culture. i can get pictures later.
