"unremarkable tone" is an opinion and should not be referenced. As an Alto Clarinet player, I feel it has a beautiful tone. It has a unique, bright hum, due to its wood metal hybrid design and often used to replace a bagpipe in a concert band music.

Same-sex marriage in Minnesota

I see you are new here. There are several problems with your edit. (1) What you state as fact has not been documented. Find a source. Add a citation. (2) You say "will" but Wikipedia does not predict the future. Try language like "is scheduled to". (I've made an edit along those lines just now.) (3) In saying same-sex marriage "became legal" you make a distinction that is not immediately clear to the reader, since it's an unusual distinction. Perhaps something more specific "Minnesota has recognized the validity of same-sex marriages since July 1 and will begin issuing..." But you still need a citation. I don't doubt you know what you are talking about, but Wikipedia relies on citations, not personal expertise. Surely someone has mentioned this in print or in a decent online source. If you can't find one, the way to get the edit made would be to make the point on the entry's Talk page and invite others to search up a citation. Cheers.

I see you are new and don't know how to provide citations. I'll do it properly. Bmclaughlin9 (talk) 13:09, 13 July 2013 (UTC)

I did fill out the citation field. If there is something other than filling in all required fields please let me know why it did not save. The source is http://kstp.com/article/stories/s3082732.shtml

To clarify how's: Minnesota has recognized the validity of same-sex marriages certificates from other states and countries since July 1 and will begin issuing new licenses on August 1..."
