GA Reassessment

Article (edit | visual edit | history) · Article talk (edit | history) · Watch

This article is undergoing a reassessment as part of the GA sweeps performed by the Good Article Project Quality taskforce in order to ensure that it still meets the requirements for Good Article status.

The review is currently in progress. So far, my concerns are:

1. The "Production" section seems out of order. Perhaps the discussion of the album itself (paragraph 3: "A dichotomy...") could come before the second paragraph ("For Being There...").
2. "The theme of a "tortured artist" is found in other songs as well" - is this actually found in other songs, or should this just be "is found elsewhere as well"?
3. "Outtasite (Outta Mind)" seems to be the biggest hit from this album. Perhaps a brief discussion of it could be in the "Production" section?
4. In fact, information about which singles were released from the album might be good to include.
5. At the end of the "Track listing" section, "%verse of..." seems awkward. Perhaps if this is the only track with a co-writer, it could just be in parentheses after the song's name? There are probably other ways to do it as well, but "%verse" seems really strange.
6. The "Cultural References" section (note: the "R" should not be capitalized) needs to be referenced. This could be done with the {{cite episode}} template.

   The whole section was trivial; I removed it. indopug (talk) 06:59, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

7. Reference 26 is currently a bare url.
8. Per Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline, the fair use rationale for the image needs more information. The template generally takes 60 seconds to fill out, so I would recommend using it.

I will place this reassessment on hold for one week after notifying the relevant projects and contributors. Overall, the article is quite well-written and I don't see any major concerns. Best wishes, GaryColemanFan (talk) 19:35, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

• Give me through the weekend to fix this up. I've just started graduate school, so I've been pretty busy. Teemu08 (talk) 02:36, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
  • My computer mouse broke over the weekend, so give me just a little more time. Teemu08 (talk) 22:07, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
    • Not a problem. Actually, looking over my remaining comments, there doesn't seem to be anything serious enough to withhold GA status. The order of the paragraphs is personal preference, and the phrasing of the "tortured artist" sentence is a very minor issue. A description of the single would be good, but it's at least discussed in the Reception section. I'll close the reassessment as keep and leave you to act on my suggestions as (or if) you wish. Thanks for your hard work. GaryColemanFan (talk) 22:24, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
