Result: No action. Stale review, renomination needed. Geometry guy 20:32, 12 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This nomination was failed for not meeting the criteria of coverage. The reviewer said that there was not enough information on the background section, such as "the backup band, the other dancers, the touring technical crew, the various local technical crews, the staging, the lighting, the sound system, the wardrobe and makeup people, the tour bus, the freight trucking, the airplanes". There is really no information on any of these and i really had to look for details in the tour reviews to make a small paragraph about the stage and props. There were also no wardrobe malfunctions or problems, are least not noted by a reliable source. Another concern was that the article lacked pictures. The tour poster is the only one i found.

A few minutes of looking online and I found Michael Tait of Tait Towers to be the stage set designer. Showco was the sound company, and they used their PRISM system. Raza Sufi became her monitor engineer in August 2000 and he immediately put the entire backup band on in-ear monitors and headset mics. (I don't know who he replaced.) Sufi continued into the next tour by Spears, as did Showco and many of the techs involved. Spears did not use in-ear monitors—instead, she used monitor wedges, proprietary to Showco, the SRM wedge. Pre-recorded vocals were run from an ADAT player as replacement for Britney's voice when she danced. This is in the February 2001 tour profile in MIX magazine. Kevin Antunes was the musical director for Spears, and also for Enrique Iglesias. Mark Foffano was the lighting director. It appears that Richard Channer may have been the tour manager. Felicia Culotta was on the tour as Britney's assistant. This Billboard article says a number of the 2000 concert dates sold out, some in one day. Bruce Kapp of CCE was concert promoter. Average audience size was 15,841; average ticket price $31. Tim Miller appears to have been production manager. You had none of this in the article. I do not think this article is ready for GA. Go find the lighting industry magazines, the sound industry magazines, the touring industry, etc. Binksternet (talk) 21:24, 28 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I do research in regular sources, like magazines and newspapers. I based the article on other tour pages that are GA, such as Madonna tours. They don't have any of this information and still passed GA. I will add the information you researched to the article. Sorry. Xwomanizerx (talk) 21:35, 28 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I added all the information and provided some i researched. I think that the development section is covered. None of the opening acts benefited from the exposure, that's pretty clear. I corrected the spelling mistake and there are no free pictures from the article. Xwomanizerx (talk) 23:19, 28 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for adding some of the tour's technical information. This is a good start. However, the article mostly describes what was on the then-current tour, the Dream Within a Dream Tour, and only mentions a little of what was on the Oops! tour. One niggling point is that the canned vocals were said in the article to be running in the background on ADAT, not DAT which is what you wrote. I still feel that more should be done with this article, including turning the "Opening acts" section into prose, describing how Spears felt during or after the tour, how the tour results affected the next tour, what her production people said. Lack of action photos is a serious gap. Binksternet (talk) 17:32, 29 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Turned the opening acts section into prose. I can't find any other statements from Spears apart from the ones about the setlist and the comparisons with the previous tours that are already in the article. I also can't find any pictures. Anyway, thanks for helping. Xwomanizerx (talk) 19:52, 29 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
