GA review (see here for criteria)

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose): b (MoS):

   Under 'Background and writing', it says, "the band wrote the first line and the first little melody of the song years ago but did not finish it until last year." In five weeks, this sentence will be out of date—best to write it as "did not finish it until 2007".

   Fixed. --Efe (talk) 05:36, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):

   Reference number one doesn't back up the quote. For source seven, this will work better to cite the interview. Under 'Music and lyrics' in the second paragraph, source eleven doesn't back up the first sentence. Source number fifteen doesn't work. The line "'Violet Hill' received its first radio play on 29 April 2008, on Radio 1 at 12:13." is unsourced and trivial. Under 'Release and promotion', the last line of the second paragraph isn't backed up by the source. Source number nineteen isn't really needed, as source number twenty backs up both claims. Source twenty tells us the peak of the song, not necessarily that the song entered at number nine on the Hot Modern Rock Tracks. Sources number twenty-four and twenty-five are forums and are not reliable sources. Under 'Music videos', source number eight does not back up that the video was directed by Asa Mader. What makes source thirty-eight (themodernage.org) reliable?

   Check. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 19:05, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

   What makes the mix by Michael Brauer notable?

   Added info. Hope it somehow adds to the notability/importance of Brauer to the band. --Efe (talk) 05:39, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

   No bias and has a neutral point of view, satisfies WP:NPOV.

5. It is stable.

   No edit wars etc.:

   Article is stable.

6. 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):

   All good.

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

   I am placing the article on hold for seven days to allow for the above concerns to be addressed. DiverseMentality 04:31, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

   All concerns have been addressed, I'm passing the article. Good work! DiverseMentality 19:33, 27 November 2008 (UTC)
