Hello, I'm here to review your GA nomination. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 01:04, 2 October 2016 (UTC)

Infobox

• Should have "Alt".

I asked User:DannyMusicEditor for help with this parameter since I was having trouble trying to come up with a good description. Hope his description is appropriate for you. Yeepsi (talk) 21:39, 7 October 2016 (UTC)

• In July, the Further Sky EP was released → In 28 July, 2014 the Further Sky EP was released
• to positive reviews. → and met positive reviews.
• This section is quite weak, you need to add some opinion from the reviewers, generalize it. Style of the EP, availability for streaming three days before

 Done

Composition and recording

• Basement came together to practice while Henery was home for Christmas in 2013.The practice was initially "just [...] for fun". Although the band had ideas, composing material was accidental according to Henery → so was he at home for Christmas or not? This sentence is a huge mess.
• Content with the song, it was recorded with an iPhone. → who was? who recorded it? The entire song or just the raw part of it?

It also needs source. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 13:45, 9 October 2016 (UTC)

• While Henery resided in the US, the rest of the band had composed "Summer's Colour" → While Henery was residing in the US, the rest of the band had composed "Summer's Colour" → where?

• the band → Basement
• with support from Cloakroom → with Cloakroom and Newmoon as the opening act. (not sure if this is right?)

 Done

Reception

• Is Punknews.org a reliable source? I mean look at the name of the reviewer.

It's listed in WP:ALBUM/SOURCE. Yeepsi (talk) 21:39, 7 October 2016 (UTC)

 Done

Track listing

• You claim that all the music was composed by "Basement", so why is there Dan Goudie credited as a producer?

I'm not sure what you mean. Producers don't always write material with bands. Yeepsi (talk) 21:39, 7 October 2016 (UTC)

When you say composed you mean "writing ad produced by"...MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 13:34, 9 October 2016 (UTC)

• Could use a "tracklist" column.

 Done

 Done

Overall GA review

• Do not make any changes until I say so.
• @Yeepsi: The article has more issues than I expected, but nothing serious. On hold for seven days, good luck. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 21:17, 2 October 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for taking this! Apologies for not working on this sooner, I've had little internet access this past week. Yeepsi (talk) 20:11, 7 October 2016 (UTC)

I've done almost every point, apart from the Track listing points and the dead links (I'll fix the links tomorrow since archive.org isn't working for me at the moment). Yeepsi (talk) 21:39, 7 October 2016 (UTC)

@Yeepsi: I will give you a couple more days to finish what's missing or what has to be address yet. Good luck. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 13:42, 9 October 2016 (UTC)

I've done the remaining points. Yeepsi (talk) 14:19, 9 October 2016 (UTC)

I Have an indecision regarding using a "trakclist" column with only three tracks. Can you give me an example of a GA or FA article like this? MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 16:58, 9 October 2016 (UTC)

Do you mean the track listing template? If so, Stop Crying Your Heart Out and Transfusion (EP) don't use the template. Yeepsi (talk) 17:15, 9 October 2016 (UTC)

The latter example. Now passing MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 17:31, 9 October 2016 (UTC)
