Alright BLZ, I'm finished. Have at it. dannymusiceditor oops 00:43, 25 May 2019 (UTC)
I could have sworn I saw sources disagreeing on if Fewel Street might have been released in 1993 or 1995. Am I just imagining this? I don't remember which sources said it, respectively, so I won't hold it any longer. Also, I think the information on how the album's title correlated with El Paso doesn't have to hold this up, we can add that later. dannymusiceditor oops 14:46, 30 May 2019 (UTC)
"Foss release their debut full-length, Fewel St. The same year Startled Calf release the four song EP I Love Being Trendy and Foss release a self-titled demo and a seven-inch on Western Breed Records."This suggests that Fewel Street came out in 1993— I Love Being Trendy came out that year, and the other two Foss releases have been dated to '93 by other sources. Admittedly, that's not impossible. But Exclaim doesn't quite say so explicitly, and the overall chronology given in the article is a little odd and jumps around a lot. There are other little errors, like calling the band "Los Dregtones" by the name "Los Dragtones". Overall I'm not inclined to take this as definitive, given that they're the only ones to report it (and given that Foss is not really the focus).
"The liner notes state that the recordings took place on the first and second days of 1995."There isn't a scan of the album's liner notes, which is unfortunate, but assuming that's accurate it's impossible that the album could have been released in 1993. Technically there isn't any "disagreement" between sources—if this fact was actually in dispute, people on either side would be making arguments and digging up evidence, and it would be resolved fairly quickly. The problem is that there's a lack of scrutiny. I would add a footnote if there was actual disagreement or conflicting evidence reported in reliable sources, but so far all we have seems to be one iffy source weighed against (apparent) firsthand description of the recording dates in the liner notes. I'll admit it's not ideal, but for now I think what's there is most likely to be accurate given what's available right now.
@ Brandt Luke Zorn: In the section on Beto's political career, there's a tremendous amount of focus on op-eds. Are there any polls or anything showing that Foss helped Beto's political prospects or just opinion pieces? I there's just opinion pieces, how much focus do they deserve? By the way, great job on the article! MagicatthemovieS ( talk) 00:55, 1 June 2019 (UTC)MagicatthemovieS
