GA Review

[edit]

Hello. I'll be doing the GA review for this article. Here are some suggestions for improvement:

 Done Removed image; unlikely to be PD as claimed.--Father Goose (talk) 06:15, 27 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Done Added some fair use rationales --NickPenguin(contribs) 23:32, 28 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Several of the on-line references in the reference section need to be formatted with Template:cite web.
 Done Well, almost done, at least. The current format resembles the template, even when not using the template. If I have missed something, please, let me know. Aditya(talk • contribs) 19:50, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • IMDB is not considered a WP:RS and needs to be replaced in instances where it is citing anything other than "she was in this movie"
 Done Only the hard information remains. Aditya(talk • contribs) 19:50, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Forums also should not be used. Example: 71
 Done Forums removed. Aditya(talk • contribs) 19:50, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Why have a red link in a see also section?
 Done Removed redlink, not sure why that was there exactly --NickPenguin(contribs) 23:15, 28 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That is it for now. I'll put the article on hold for seven days to allow for these improvements. Once these are taken care of, I'll add more specific suggestions for the prose. Nikki311 05:00, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I am working on the remaining three issues, and have made some progress too. But, due to immense pressure from real life, I am not getting done fast enough. Is it possible to ask for a little more time? A week more would do fine. Aditya(talk • contribs) 17:24, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Sure. That's fine with me. Nikki311 03:35, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

2nd look

[edit]

I've given the article a second look, and I think there are far too many references that utilize IMDB and Amazon still in the article. Instead of citing either of these, it is a better option to just cite the book, movie, television show, or whatever itself. See Wikipedia:Citation templates for specific reference templates to use in these instances. Also, a couple of the references are not fully formatted. In particular, 61, 65, and 66. Nikki311 23:22, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

61, 65 and 66 fixed. Amazon wholly removed, imdb almost. Please, check if 68, 69 and 70 are alright. Should I remove those as well? Aditya(talk • contribs) 18:40, 13 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I would remove them. Nikki311 03:07, 14 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I was copy-editing just now and noticed something else (sorry to be annoying! lol). In the punk rock section, album titles should be in italics, but song titles should be in quotes with no italics. I would have just fixed this myself, but I couldn't tell which was a song and which was an album for some of them, and I've got too many projects going on right now to look it up! :) Nikki311 17:19, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Done, I think. Aditya(talk • contribs) 12:05, 16 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, you missed a few, but I think I fixed them. Pass. Nikki311 21:11, 16 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
