Review section

This is a 2006 FA that has taken on uncited text and some MOS issues, and a prose tuneup might be in order. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 23:31, 19 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Move to FARC, no one working on it. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 03:18, 1 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Move to FARC, unfortunately. hard to believe there's not a soul out there interested in fixing it up. --Laser brain (talk) 15:03, 6 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

FARC section

Main concern: verifiability. Some MoS and prose tuning needed. DrKiernan (talk) 15:47, 6 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delist, no progress. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 16:23, 13 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I'm working on some other articles currently, but just noticed this was in FARC and think it's a shame considering this is, well, the greatest rock band of all time. It looks like there are some citation needed and broken link issues in addition to the issues identified above, but hopefully I can find some time to improve it. I'm not sure if I'll prevent a delist, but hopefully it can at least work its way back up shortly. Tonystewart14 (talk) 05:04, 18 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please keep this page posted on your progress; if you are able to attempt a save, I will list other issues as your time permits. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 14:54, 18 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Will do. I made a few minor edits for Canadian English, and will work on broken links next. Tonystewart14 (talk) 19:47, 18 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

A week, two edits from Tonystewart14, no other progress-- delist stands. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 13:45, 25 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough. I don't have quite enough time to make it 100% of the way back to FA in such a short time, but I will likely fix it up and bring it to peer review in a few months before another FAC. Tonystewart14 (talk) 14:21, 25 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'm late to the party, I did mean to comment on this, but I have got zero book sources for the band and at least two are essential sources for an FA, so without that, it's difficult to check stuff. I think delisting now and going for a GA would be a good compromise. Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 16:42, 3 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your comment. It might be good to clean it up and then go peer review > GA > FA after. Tonystewart14 (talk) 19:48, 3 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
