Wikipedia:Peer review/Fall Out Boy/archive1

I do GAC and GA/R reviews all the time. Even the occasional FA and peer review, but I am terrible at reviewing articles I've put a great deal of work into. I can't see my own mistakes. So I'd just like a good review. GA is my goal. Lara♥Love 05:26, 27 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think this article is fantastic and a good model for how to construct and source articles on bands and musicians. I would only suggest a few things.

  1. De-wikifi the dates, they crowd the article with blue, imo. Against guideline.
  2. Try to find sources for the first two subsections of the 'history' section.   Done
  3. I'm not sure why you split up the history section as you did. Are these periods critically recognized? The division of the History section compares to other band articles.
  4. On that note, change the name of the last subsection from 'Continuing prosperity' to 'Continuing success'. 'Prosperity' sounds a little too POVy.

I'd say you should go ahead and put it up for a GA review after handling the more glaring of these issues. :) CaveatLectorTalk 07:13, 27 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your review. I'd like to comment on a few points:
  1. Dates should always be wikified for user preferences.[1]
  2. I thought I'd found references for those sections. Either they've been removed or that was during the time that I lost internet for like 2 days and forgot where I left off. I'll get those again.
  3. I acutally didn't split up the history, that's the work of another editor, but I think it's good in that it distinguishes a time line. Additionally, most band articles split up the history in such a manner (that I've seen, anyway).
  4. Prosperity is a synonym for success. I forget what that section used to be titled, but I think everyone agreed that the current title was the best wording. I'm not saying you're wrong about it, I think I'd just like a second opinion to determine if it is, in fact, too POVish. Lara♥Love 17:23, 27 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
