Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: Done.

Overall: Looks mostly good. Nice work. The only issue I see, @4meter4:, is that there appears to be excessive citations in the second paragraph of the body. Is it necessary to include 16 references for the statement She had her own regular radio program on WOR, Verna Osborne, Songs, from 1933-1936? BeanieFan11 (talk) 16:03, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, because each reference is just covering a single program. I provided a representative sampling across time to demonstrate that it was a recurring program. There are many more of this kind. I couldn’t find a source talking about the program in a long term way to replace these. Best.4meter4 (talk) 16:36, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
OK. I'm not an expert with this, so I'll let it pass. BeanieFan11 (talk) 16:42, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
