This article is in decent shape, but it needs more work before it becomes a Good Article.

  1. Is it well written?
    A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:  
    In the Music section, is this sentence right ---> "Full Circle" is a B-side to the European, European enhanced and Australian CD single releases of "Ex-Girlfriend"?
    Yes, it is, although there should be a comma between "European enhanced" and "Australian". Tezkag72 14:41, 24 January 2009 (UTC)Reply
    Check.
    B. It complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation:  
    Throughout the article, link "New", "Rock Steady", and "hiatus" to their correspondence articles. In the lead, italicize "Billboard", per here. In the Music section, ""Under Construction" is a B-side to the British CD single releases of "Simple Kind of Life"[12] and "Bathwater"[14].", the period should come before the source. Same section, italicize "The Rugrats Movie". In the Chart positions section, "Billboard" is only supposed to be italicized, not "200".

    "Rock Steady" (the song) does not have an article. It goes to a song by All Saints. Tezkag72 22:11, 30 January 2009 (UTC)Reply
    I'll have a look.-- Escape Artist Swyer Talk Contributions
    No, it doesn't have an article because it wasn't a single.-- Escape Artist Swyer Talk Contributions 22:51, 29 January 2009 (UTC)Reply
    Check.
  2. Is it verifiable with no original research, as shown by a source spot-check?
    A. It contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline:  
    The references will have to be formatted into one accessdate parameter (i.e. no "accessyear".) At the moment, the references are all saying "Accessed on 2008". Tezkag72 15:30, 31 January 2009 (UTC)Reply
    I can't believe I missed that; this would have to be fixed, as well.
    Done. Formatting citations is mindnumbingly boring. -- Escape Artist Swyer Talk Contributions 23:45, 30 January 2009 (UTC)Reply
    Check.
    B. Reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose):  
    Does Reference 1 or 2 cover this ---> "No Doubt released their fifth studio album, Rock Steady, in December 2001 and from it released four singles, "Hey Baby", "Hella Good", "Underneath It All" and "Running" between 2001 and 2003"? Source? ---> "under which she released two solo albums: Love. Angel. Music. Baby. on November 22, 2004 and The Sweet Escape on December 4, 2006"?

    C. It contains no original research:  
    Is discogs a reliable source?
    I think so. I think I've seen it on other album GAs. Tezkag72 14:41, 24 January 2009 (UTC)Reply
    Check.
    D. It contains no copyright violations nor plagiarism:  
  3. Is it broad in its coverage?
    A. It addresses the main aspects of the topic:  
    B. It stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style):  
  4. Is it neutral?
    It represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each:  
  5. Is it stable?
    It does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute:  
  6. Is it illustrated, if possible, by images?
    A. Images are tagged with their copyright status, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content:  
    B. Images are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions:  
  7. Overall:
    Pass or Fail:  
    If the statements above can be answered, I will pass the article. Good luck with improving this article!

Thank you to both Tezkag and Escape Artist Swyer for getting the stuff I left at the talk page, because I have gone off and placed the article as GA. Congrats. ;) --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 15:21, 2 February 2009 (UTC)Reply
