Third on my "to review" list. Johanna (formerly BenLinus1214)^{talk to me!}_{see my work} 03:06, 4 October 2015 (UTC)

Thank you so much! Allow me to note that there is a handful of invisible comments on the page. I look forward to your review. —ATinySliver/^ATalkPage 🖖 03:25, 4 October 2015 (UTC)

• How common is the shortening Forte? Unless it's fairly standard, I would refer to the group either by their full name or as "the group" or "the trio" when applicable.
  • They were known as Forte on AGT, and their debut album was Forte.
• "Forte was created specifically for and rose to prominence during" Clunky--perhaps "Created during the eighth season of America's Got Talent, Forte Tenors rose to prominence due to their appearances on the show." Or something like that.
  • Fixed.
• I don't think that the Wiktionary link is helpful here.
  • Gone.
• What's your rationale for including so much about the background of each member?
  • Trimmed. The idea was to speak to how these men would end up together, but some was indeed peripheral.
• It doesn't appear that the first sentence about Ryu is sourced.
  • Same as second sentence. Comment added.
• The link for "schlub" doesn't make any sense to me, as it doesn't seem helpful at all.
  • You've lost me ...
• The word "rousing" is non-neutral
  • Fixed. Somehow I thought the accompanying note (Cannon's "That might've been the longest standing ovation we've had!") sufficiently covered "rousing".
• In the first sentence of the "Career" section, specify who the quote was from.
  • Done.
• Why is "MasterClassLady.com" a reliable source?
  • Granted, this is my opinion, but Rosanne Simunovic has excellent credentials wrt knowing and reviewing music.
• I don't understand why this non-free music video image is necessary. Could you explain your reasoning to me or remove it? Also, the fair use rationale is not very expansive.
• Wait, has the second album been released or not yet? I'm not sure…
• Why is the user-generated thing notable?
• The whole "Genre" subsection, not only mistitled, is pushing it a bit. There doesn't seem to be a bit of substantive information here--there's one user-generated thing and one that's a ranking that's really pushing it—after all, the group itself wasn't ranked as one entry on the list.
• Why is "Jake's Take" a notable viewpoint?
• The file in this section is more defendable, but I would still prefer that the rationale is expanded.
• For the Fort Worth performance, specify who was saying this and why.
• Ref 37 is a 503 (temporarily unavailable) page, but this should just be remedied by itself in a little while.
  • Fixed (I swear I'd just checked that ...)

@ATinySliver: Nice work! Some substantial stuff to comb through or talk about, but it should pass! :) Johanna (formerly BenLinus1214)^{talk to me!}_{see my work} 04:11, 9 October 2015 (UTC)
