GA Review

Article (edit | visual edit | history) · Article talk (edit | history) · Watch
Hey, it's Garden here. This will be my first GA review for about a year, so apologies in advance if I get it wrong. I'll leave you the arbitrary seven days but as you've been waiting so long for this review (hell, you've probably forgotten who this band are :P ) I'm more than willing to adjust. Nice work so far though. GARDEN 21:22, 25 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Nice work, I'm happy to pass this now. Well done! GARDEN 22:27, 26 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The headings look pretty POV to me. Perhaps "In Love with Detail" instead of "Further success"?
Discography - this table requires mdashes to show there was no placement in the charts
Quite a lot of commas missing
Watch ref placement, i.e. [2][5] rather than [5][2]

They consist of... - I presume you mean consisted
Two EPs were also released - maybe best to explain what an EP is with a long name and a link for the fist mention
hit singles - a bit POV?
support slots - link please?
Before their demise - sorry, did they die or something? :P
Then on 17 February 2009 - needs a reword or a comma, perhaps "However, on 17 February 2009", linking from the previous sentence.

The four members of Delorentos were each in different bands before - Doesn't read well, perhaps try Each of the band members were in bands prior to Delorentos or something. Also, and this might be impossible I know, a source might be nice. Not essential though
from an older band which a couple of them were in - reads informally
This section is bloomin' hard to make any sense of. Try to group band member histories together in order to reduce the name spaghetti.
in the early days - when?

The EP - very ambiguous, try Their first release, the EP or similar
gathered some cash - again, informal
straight to #1 - try number one per MOSNUM (somewhere)
annual Other Voices music show - argh! The refs aren't in order! This happens quite a lot in this section. (that's a pet peeve, address if you like, I'm not that bothered :P)
#14 - again, perhaps should be number fourteen
As part of their prize they - needs a comma, As part of their prize, they. Looking at the rest of this section there should be several commas that have been missed
U.S. dates - should be US dates

I've already moaned about this heading, I think
#7 - more MOSNUM issues :P
#34 - That's correct, in case you think I'm going to say that for every number
a couple of dates - should really be two dates or several dates
The Irish Times noted their performance - already linked only two sentences previous
was selected by The Irish Times as the best by an Irish act at the event - reads quite poorly
by informing the reader that - perhaps a reword necessary?

“these are strange times - why the weird speech marks?
neighbours - did they live next door? Or are they fellow Dubliners?
This "gig or two" - used twice in succession it looks informal
blogger UnaRocks, John Walshe of State, Jonnie Craig and others - are all of these notable enough to mention?

catchy guitar sound - is there a NPOV way of saying this?
- attractive isn't NPOV :P I'll have a gander though.
the band's set - Erm, what's a set? A setlist?

PHOTOS - although I'm sure you thought of that.
Can't really think of anything else. I'm sure you'll improve it in ways I'll never think of :P GARDEN 22:27, 26 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes, I had thought of that actually... perhaps if they hang around long enough to play Oxegen again... --can dle •wicke 13:28, 27 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  - Done. --can dle •wicke 21:47, 26 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
