I shall be reviewing this article against the Good Article criteria, following its nomination for Good Article status.

Checking against GA criteria

GA review (see here for criteria)

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose): b (MoS):

   KMFDM Records in the infobox redirects back to this article, KMFDM. A double redirect  Done

   [While recognized within the ranks of Nitzer Ebb, Ministry, and Skinny Puppy as pioneers in introducing industrial music to mainstream audiences, KMFDM describes their sound as "The Ultra-Heavy Beat". Surely recognized "along with"?  Done

   ...a fusion of electronic and heavy metal, with occasional elements of reggae, ska, and even rap. The word "even" conveys a point of view.  Done

   KMFDM is not without a sense of humor, however. again this tends to convey a point of view.  Done

   KMFDM has put on an album on average every year and a half, and usually tours at least once in support of each album. "put out", I think is meant here.  Done

   KMFDM is an initialism for the nonsensical and grammatically incorrect German phrase "Kein Mehrheit Für Die Mitleid", . I think "acronym" is a better word to use here.

   I made a number of minor copy-edits.[1]

   I fixed all of the above, but as for the initialism bit, read the link and tell me what you think. It seems as though acronyms are pronounceable as words, while initialisms must be said letter by letter. But it's no big deal, I'll change it if you still think I should.

   OK, It looks a bit clumsy to me, but perhaps it is an American term. –– Jezhotwells (talk) 21:14, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):

   refs # 60 through 68 MySpace is not a WP:RS. See WP:Attribution/FAQ#Are IRC, MySpace, and YouTube reliable sources?  Done

   ref #53 [2] is a dead link  Done

   I'll have to look into the dead link problem, but as for Myspace links, I knew they weren't reliable for fact-checking, but I thought they would be okay to merely demonstrate the existence of the bands in question. I'll change those to Allmusic links, if that's acceptable. Torchiest (talk | contribs) 20:30, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

   Allmusic is fine and much, much better. –– Jezhotwells (talk) 21:14, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

   Take a look at this link. I think you can find asimilar quotes from this as the sound source seems to have gone. –– Jezhotwells (talk) 22:31, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

   Thanks, I found that too. All band refs are fixed now as well. Torchiest (talk | contribs) 22:48, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

   All on-line references should be formatted consistently with publisher details and retrieval date.  Done

   I think I fixed all the refs. Torchiest (talk | contribs) 22:48, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

5. It is stable.

   No edit wars, etc.:

6. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.

   a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

   OK, on hold for seven days for above issues to be addressed. –– Jezhotwells (talk) 19:55, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

   OK, very good, thanks for your quick responses. I am happy to list this as a good article. Congratulations! 23:13, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
