Hi @Jeff I have started working through this and I did find some additional sources. The one I am most excited about is footnote #3, the biographical dictionary. However, some of the dates do not align with what you had, for example when he returned to Illinois, when he started teaching at IWU and when he was inducted into the PAS Hall of Fame. The biographical dictionary seems correct to me given it appears he was back in Illinois by 1935 because of his position with the WPA but you might have other sources. I also did some heavy trimming and some restructuring. The Publications and writings section still needs some work to tighten it up along with some other tweaking but thought I'd stop here to get your input/feedback.

Wow! You found sources I didn't know existed. Yes, by all means, please continue your revisions.
I note that about half of the citations are to The Pantograph and several of those are cited multiple times. This seems disproportionate. ~Anachronist (talk) 00:01, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I have a comments and then a plea for assistance. First, The Pantagraph is something of a newspaper of record for central Illinois so multiple articles about Noonan shouldn't be "disproportionate". Secondly, I'm having trouble with duplicate citations, namely numbers 1. and 13. (Greg Conroy's article) and 2. and 7. ("Symphony Buffs Laud Drummer").
Greetings: I need your help, once again. First, l can't seem to enter the proper citation for this article in newspapers.com: https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-pantagraph-giants-of-drum-world-visi/147521305/ It follows mention of the two visitors to John Noonan in 1978. Secondly, please see my "talk" response to Anachronist on April 22nd. Can you help me with this? Finally, I've submitted the article about Roy C. Knapp per your suggestion; can you move this closer to publication so we can publish the (now complete - with your help) John P. Noonan entry? Please advise.
