Wikipedia:Peer review/Muse (band)/archive1
Hi there, I'm interested in improving the article on Muse. I'd like some help identifying the areas that are most in need of editing/cleanup/expansion and how I should go about it.
Thanks :) -- M2Ys4U (talk) 02:15, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
Someone has clearly put a lot of work into this and respect is due for that. The main deficiency at the moment is that there are quite a few places where references to sources are needed (I think this has already been flagged). Also, I suggest that the section titled "The Future" might be better as a sub-section in history.Circusandmagicfan 15:07, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
The following suggestions were generated by a semi-automatic javascript program, and might not be applicable for the article in question.
- Please expand the lead to conform with guidelines at Wikipedia:Lead. The article should have an appropriate number of paragraphs as is shown on WP:LEAD, and should adequately summarize the article.[?]
- Consider removing links that add little to the article or that have been repeated in close proximity to other links to the same article, as per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (links) and WP:CONTEXT.[?]
- Per Wikipedia:Context and Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dates), months and days of the week generally should not be linked. Years, decades, and centuries can be linked if they provide context for the article.[?]
- Per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (headings), headings generally do not start with articles ('the', 'a(n)'). For example, if there was a section called ==The Biography==, it should be changed to ==Biography==.[?]
- Per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (headings), headings generally should not repeat the title of the article. For example, if the article was Ferdinand Magellan, instead of using the heading ==Magellan's journey==, use ==Journey==.[?]
- The script has spotted the following contractions: didn't, couldn't, if these are outside of quotations, they should be expanded.
- As done in WP:FOOTNOTE, footnotes usually are located right after a punctuation mark (as recommended by the CMS, but not mandatory), such that there is no space in between. For example, the sun is larger than the moon [2]. is usually written as the sun is larger than the moon.[2][?]
- Please ensure that the article has gone through a thorough copyediting so that it exemplifies some of Wikipedia's best work. See also User:Tony1/How to satisfy Criterion 1a.[?]

- Make sure every reference to any album is italicised. In the lead, Black Holes and Revelations needs doing, and there might be further instances. Plus, that really isn't a lot of references, and they don't all look to have {{citeweb}} templates going on. Seegoon 22:23, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
