Do you think this article should be up for a GA review? I think it is fairly thorough and well-researched. Any parts that seem conspicuously unencyclopedic? Thoughts? - Werideatdusk33 ( talk) 19:51, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
A few things:
Once those things are addressed, then I think it should be good to take to GA review. -- Reaper X 04:49, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
Now that most of the issues are resolved, anyone up for bumpin this to A-class? - Werideatdusk33 ( talk) 01:47, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
OK, so I've kinda expanded the lead a little, but the wording isn't brilliant. I can't think of an adequate way to summarize how the album's done in terms of sales. -- Brandt Luke Zorn ( talk) 22:42, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
I have completely rewritten the tour section, complete with references, and expanded the background section, amongst some minor tweaks including the recent announcement of the album going gold. All my edits are here. Hopefully the article looks better now to anyone reviewing it. -- Reaper X 19:50, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
I noticed that my addition of FA Stomp ([i]with citation[/i]) was removed. Any reason for this? Rhinowing ( talk) 00:52, 31 March 2008 (UTC) Nevermind. I guess since we can't reference forums, that information will be lost forever. Rhinowing ( talk) 00:53, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
Why has the New Zealand tour information been deleted while the Australian V festival remains?
Surely 3 joint confirmed shows (a month before the V festival begins) with stoner rock band Queens of the Stone Age should be mentioned in the tour section. I added the information, and it has been deleted
Here is a reference http://www.newstalkzb.co.nz/newsdetail1.asp?storyID=131494
Someone ((Brandt Luke Zorn)) please correct.
Thankyou. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Iam jesse ( talk • contribs) 02:39, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
Sweet thanks man, sorry for sounding like an asshole myself - was having a trashy day when I wrote that.
PS - Article is looking well sourced and informative, should be nominated.
I'm failing this article for several reasons. First of all the entire "Alternate releases" section is completely unencyclopedic and there is a gross amount of fair use images. That strongly violates fair use; none are acceptable. It must be removed immediately. The paragraph at the top should be, however, merged with the "Release" section. "Fairey, whose credits include creating anti-war posters and the poster art for the feature film Walk the Line, commented on the album cover" the sentence is irrelevant. That block quote is pretty unnecessary as well, especially considering it isn't even one of the band members that is being quoted. There's absolutely no quoted reviews from the major sources (RS, EW, AMG). The picture of Schoeder and Reyes is massive and should be removed or drastically reduced. I haven't even touched on the prose, either. There's a ton of things that still need to be done before this is even close to GA standards. NSR77 T C 02:54, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
Okay. Well how would we go about revamping it? Would it be unencyclopedic to do something like:
Or should we make it into terrible prose, or just chop all the details and merging the paragraph into another section? -- Reaper X 17:23, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
This is currently one of the only (if not the only) Smashing Pumpkins album unavailable on streaming services such as Spotify and Apple Music. If there's anything known about the reasons why, could this be added to the article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 177.18.160.195 ( talk) 06:34, 9 August 2015 (UTC)
