Philippine Constabulary Band[edit]
This article is about a military band in the Philippines that operated for a 39 year period in the early 20th century. I am nominating this because it is well-written, though short(er) it represents the entirety of published research on a dated and obscure topic and presents information in summary style hitting highlights and avoiding nuanced detail, it is extremely stable with no significant edits in more than three months, layout conforms to MOS, citation style is consistent, it is lavishly illustrated, and the topic is interesting even if not widely known.

Image review
- File:Philippine_Constabulary_Band_in_1904.png: the given source identifies the original publication
- File:Walter_Loving.jpg: the given tag requires that the image was published, not just created, prior to 1923 - if this is sourced to an archival file, that may not have happened. Same problem with File:PedroNavarro.jpg
- File:PCBand1905.jpg: how do we know this was published in 1904? The source doesn't say so
- File:Philippine_Constabulary_Band.png: source link gives an original source, which might have more details about the first publication of the image. Nikkimaria (talk) 18:49, 23 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comments. As always, feel free to revert my copyediting. - Dank (push to talk)
- "less some of them": if that's what the source said, it needs to be "[lest] some of them".
- "It is also believed this may have been ...": Opinions need attribution in the text, I'm guessing (in this case) to Michael D. Johnson. Give a short description of Johnson (historian, whatever).
- Support on prose per standard disclaimer. These are my edits. - Dank (push to talk) 15:13, 24 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
