Reviewer: GreatOrangePumpkin (talk · contribs) 12:01, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
- It is reasonably well written.
- a (prose):
b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
- many MOS issues, WP:SEASON, WP:MOSDATE; do not abbreviate, eg "he'd"
- "Degradation Trip featured two singles and was well received by critics" - two relatively different statements; split the clause
- a (prose):
- It is factually accurate and verifiable.
- a (references):
b (citations to reliable sources):
c (OR):
- Odd date formats, eg "9-17-11.". Please use either "mm.dd.yyyy" or "mm dd, yyy"
- Use {{cite web}}, {{cite news}}, etc templates, no bare urls
- Allmusic is the work; Rovi Corporation is the publisher
- You don't need to write the url in refs. And the publisher is mostly not the url; the url is the work published by a publisher. An exception is Sputnikmusic.com; but the publisher for Canoe is "Canoe Inc" and not "Jam.canoe.ca" (you can see the publisher mostly at the bottom, besider the copyright sign, etc)
- Blogs are generally unreliable, but after reading its about page, I am satisfied it is reliable (as being featured in MTV)
- obnoxiouslisteners does not seem to be reliable. The authors are non-professional critics
- a (references):
- It is broad in its coverage.
- a (major aspects):
b (focused):
- not sure about this; do we really need information about touring? I mean, this article is about the album, not his tours.
- a (major aspects):
- It follows the neutral point of view policy.
- Fair representation without bias:
- In "Critical reception" "overwhelmingly" is imho bias, as it also received 4 stars. "Overwhelmingly" would be five stars given by nearly every or every critic.
- Fair representation without bias:
- It is stable.
- No edit wars, etc.:
- No edit wars, etc.:
- 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):
- a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales):
- Overall:
- Pass/Fail:
- Pass/Fail:
- Dabsolver check: Fixed two dabs
- Checklinks check: One dead link: Unchained Melodies ref
- Reflinks check: Filled a few
- Comments
If I may.
- In the Infobox for Released this needs a {{start date}} template.
- Length needs a {{duration}} template.
- The "charts" section needs to be formatted to comply with Wikipedia's WP:MOS (look at Mariah Carey (album)#Charts and certifications). *Also this sentence "second solo album"? you mean "second solo studio album"? The sentence contradicts what the infobox states.
- Why is "single" wikilink? (per WP:COMMONWORD).
- "more easily compares" sounds WP:OR and does ref#12 verifies this?
- Another WP:OR (and possible violation of WP:NPOV) sentence "overwhelmingly positive reviews" needs to be checked.
- Why is Boggy Depot overlinked in the article?
- SOURCE? for Sandy Masuo's review and J.D. Considine's review?
- All songs written and composed by Jerry Cantrell needs a {{cite album-notes}} template to verify.
- To the reviewer, what are the links that you are having troubles with? Best, Jonayo! Selena 4 ever 18:23, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks, but I actually requested a second opinion to make sure there is no copyright violation, or close paraphrasing. But as I do not have any access to mtv.com, I need someone who currently resides in USA and who will check if there is any violation. --♫GoP♫TCN 18:35, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
- Nevermind.
- Well there aren't any copyrighted information, however, this quotation from the author "When Jerry Cantrell says fuck Sevendust, I say fuck you, Jerry Cantrell. I hope you heard me, Jerry Cantrell." has to be written like so "... When Jerry Cantrell says fuck Sevendust, I say fuck you, Jerry Cantrell. I hope you heard me, Jerry Cantrell ..." Otherwise no copyright issues to report. Best, Jonayo! Selena 4 ever 15:33, 2 December 2011 (UTC)
- Nevermind.
- On hold points made by Ajona and me need to be adressed. It needs some work before passing. Otherwise it is not that far away from being passed.--♫GoP♫TCN 13:52, 2 December 2011 (UTC)
- 7 days have relapsed, and the nominator is unfortunately not very active. I will fail this article to give him time to fix these issues before renominating.--♫GoP♫TCN 14:46, 8 December 2011 (UTC)
