Initial comments

There is no "format" in the infobox? Was it relased on both CD and vynl?

We don't have standards for that in the infobox for albums. See [here for that. I think it's only used for singles only. Andrzejbanas (talk) 23:12, 20 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

"The album was recorded in July 1993 and released in December" - December later that year

Done. Andrzejbanas (talk) 23:12, 20 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

"where it received positive reviews from the British press" - from the press? What about music critics?

Yeah, that's what it should be saying. Fixed. Andrzejbanas (talk) 23:12, 20 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The lead could be expanded slightly in order to summairse the article (a solid requirement for GA). It's looking a little dry on the production side of things, so that part could be expanded?
"Mark Clifford formed Seefeel in 1992 after posting ads for potential group members" - informal, how about advertisements?

Done. Andrzejbanas (talk) 23:12, 20 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

"Quique was re-released on vinyl on 27 August 2013" - this wasn't mentioned in the lead?

It's not that large of a deal and the re-issue didn't really cause that much of a stir. I'll see what I can do when I expand the lead about a bit.

"Spin ' Simon Reynolds" - is that a typo?

Fixed now I believe. Andrzejbanas (talk) 23:12, 20 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

References

Ref 18 is dead

Fixed. Andrzejbanas (talk) 23:12, 20 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Ref 25 is dead

Fixed on my end. Might be weird due to the filter. Might remove and just add a quote if it's still giving people problems. Andrzejbanas (talk) 23:12, 20 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

On hold

The prose on this article is looking pretty solid, but other than that the lead could be expanded slightly and there were also a few minor prose issues I found. I'll leave this on hold for the standard seven days, even thought I'm sure it won't need that. Thanks! ☯ Jaguar ☯ 21:45, 20 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Close - promoted

Thank you for addressing all of them, after reading through the article again it now meets the GA criteria. It is broad, comprehensive and the information is accurate from the sources given. Well done ☯ Jaguar ☯ 13:34, 22 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
