- Overall:
- Pass or Fail:
- Pass or Fail:
- "These remixes of the song are called..." - not needed in lead
Done
- "charting in countries that included...among other countries" - a bit doubled up
Done
- You probably don't need to mention the specifics of live performances in the lead
Done
- I have seen many good articles, such as: U Smile and Poker Face, that include specifics of the artist's live performances in the lead. Rp0211 (talk2me) 22:27, 17 September 2010 (UTC)
- That's true, but the live performances sections in those articles are far more comprehensive than the one here. Adabow (talk · contribs) 23:39, 17 September 2010 (UTC)
- Now fixed. Rp0211 (talk2me) 00:08, 18 September 2010 (UTC)

- If you're going to imply words in a quote, try to use something more formal than 'to do'. Remember that Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia.
Done
- Can you find some more professional reviews? Try searching for reviews for Smoke and Mirrors, and see if there are any comments on "Halfway Gone".
Done
- "resulted in 'a fresh sound for Lifehouse as the band aims to extend its run on the hot AC and Billboard Hot 100 charts.'" - explain this quote; what are these charts? Provide links, maybe?
Done
- The second paragraph of 'Chart performance' needs wikifying
Done
- Do the screenshots of the video really add anything to the article?
Not sure
- The screenshots show an example of how people appear out of nowhere throughout the music video. Rp0211 (talk2me) 22:43, 17 September 2010 (UTC)
- The 'Remixes' section needs a re-write: obviously Wade wrote all the remixes; this is not needed. Instead, just mention the release, names of mixers, and critical response.
Done
- Not done, actually. Remove Wade's writing credits in the prose and mention the mixers. Morgan Page and Fred Falke are notable, so link to them. Adabow (talk · contribs) 23:39, 17 September 2010 (UTC)
- It is now done because I fixed the prose and included the mixers of the songs. Rp0211 (talk2me) 00:06, 18 September 2010 (UTC)
- Some references aren't very reliable such as lifehousemusic.com. Try to find alternatives.
Not sure
- Lifehousemusic.com is the official website for Lifehouse and is off of the Geffen Records website.
- The references' formats are looking much better, but please run through them again; only publications in print (ie newspapers, magazines) should be italicised.
Done
- Have a look at some FAs like "4 Minutes" (Madonna song) and "Smells Like Teen Spirit" to get a good idea of these things
Done
- WP:SAMPLE states that a music sample should be less than 10% of the original recording, and of a quality of about 64kbps; therefore File:Halfwaygone.ogg needs some work
Done

- OK I feel confident enough to now pass the article, but please keep searching for more sources in the future, and expand the article. Adabow (talk · contribs) 02:09, 18 September 2010 (UTC)
