Nominator(s): I Am Rufus • Conversation is a beautiful thing. 17:11, 26 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating this for featured list because having extensively redeveloped the tables and prose, I feel that it meets the FLC criteria. Any criticism would be helpful if it improves the page. I Am Rufus • Conversation is a beautiful thing. 17:11, 26 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comments
  • "reached number 38 on the US Billboard 200" not sourced in the lead.
  • "producer Ratatat": This wording makes Ratatat seem like a single person, when they are in fact an experimental electronic rock duo.
  • The two live albums are listed as live EPs on their respective pages.
  • "Future Games" is missing from the guest appearances section.

Thank you responding so quickly: I'm hopeful that this can be passed soon, as it's my first non hip-hop discography to be taken to FLC. I Am Rufus • Conversation is a beautiful thing. 09:39, 27 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comments
  • "was founded in 2002 by original members" surely it's obvious they were "original members" if they "founded" the band?
  • "their... their... they" - a little repetitive, maybe switch in a "the band" or something from time to time.
  • ".[4][2][11][12][13] " refs in numerical order please.
  • No mention of videos in the lead, despite the videos being their favourite method of release.

  • Not sure if this is just because I'm reading the page on an iPad, but that first paragraph is awfully long. I would split it, for easier readability, that is if it is not just an iPad issue.
  • link Wesleyan University?
  • "and platinum by British Phonographic Industry" there needs to be a the before British
  • "Later in the year..." This is quite vague and misleading, especially as the album in question was released which is exactly much later than early 2010. I would give the specific month instead.
  • "during its recording process" I would change its to the
  • "It also spawned four singles" spawned is the wrong word to use here in relation to singles releases. Simply say "Four singles were released from the album:"

Comments –

  • "The critical success of the EP and extensive touring brought the group to the attention of Columbia Records, which signed the group in 2006." Don't care for the redundant use of "group" here; try revising this to have only one usage.
  • Similar issue in "The album reached number 38 on the US Billboard 200, and reached...". The second "reached" isn't needed at all in this sentence. Giants2008 (Talk) 19:20, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Good work. — ΛΧΣ21 04:07, 7 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
