This article is undergoing a Good Article Reassessment as part of the Good Article sweeps. Looking through the article, I had a few concerns:
- Verifiability - Much of the article lacks references, including the entire "Context" section, the entire "Evolution" section (can a link or reference to a print source be provided for the "Hey Hey We Are Not The Monkees" lyrics?), the first three paragraphs of the "The single" section, and the last two paragraphs of the "Themes" section. There is also a "citation needed" tag in the lead. Links or page numbers should also be provided for references 5 ("Tammy lays blame on KLF" in The Sun) and 11 ("'Justified and Ancient' review" in Melody Maker).
- Images/Sound clips - Wikipedia's standards have gotten higher since these were originally added. They should have detailed fair use templates (see [1]).
- Neutrality - There are a few places in which opinions are given. They should either state the facts directly or provide quotations. Examples include: "the provocative and abrasive lyrics" and "the song has a soft and innocuous tune, and quaint lyrics". Weasel words are also present, including "Commentators were suspicious", "Other commentators", and "Some research suggests".
I will place this reassessment on hold for one week to allow for these concerns to be addressed. If this can be completed within seven days, I will continue with an examination of the prose. If not, the article will be delisted. Best wishes, GaryColemanFan (talk) 17:17, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
- No progress has been made, so I am delisting the article. I encourage interested editors to fix the problems listed above, do a copyedit, and resubmit it to WP:GAN. GaryColemanFan (talk) 18:29, 14 November 2009 (UTC)
