  • Unfortunately, the Transcending the Mundane interview and review have been offline since early September and look unlikely to come back online. I can't find any archived versions of the pages at archive.org, so I'll have to go through and delete everything which relies on those sources. Una LagunaTalk 15:14, 21 November 2010 (UTC)Reply

Lead

edit
  • First paragraph should be merged into another   Done Una LagunaTalk 15:14, 21 November 2010 (UTC)Reply
  • You need to cover all sections in the lead, including composition   Done Una LagunaTalk 15:14, 21 November 2010 (UTC)Reply
  • Make clear that Ghost Book is the name of the soundtrack, not the film   Done Una LagunaTalk 15:14, 21 November 2010 (UTC)Reply

Background

edit
  • Theron Patterson does not need linking   Done Una LagunaTalk 15:14, 21 November 2010 (UTC)Reply
  • "InsideOut Records offered to sign Moore to their label." → rewrite   Done Una LagunaTalk 15:14, 21 November 2010 (UTC)Reply

Composition

edit
  • This section doesn't really cover the composition of the album, it is more of an extension to the background section. Focus on musical genres and styles and lyrics
  • Moved the paragraph on personnel to the Background section; the rest of the information should fit in Composition. Una LagunaTalk 15:14, 21 November 2010 (UTC)Reply
  • "plan to record an "organic, and less digital"[1] album," - place ref after comma
Paragraph removed - source offline. Una LagunaTalk 15:14, 21 November 2010 (UTC)Reply
  • Remove red links as they are not notable people   Done Una LagunaTalk 15:14, 21 November 2010 (UTC)Reply
  • ""an extreme"[4] of his work," - ref after comma

Release and promotion

edit
  • Good work here

Reception

edit
  • Unlink Millenia Nova   Done Una LagunaTalk 15:14, 21 November 2010 (UTC)Reply
  • 'Anderson described the music as "at times is funky in a glitchy, herky-jerky sort of way..."' - this incorporated quote is grammatically incorrect   Done Una LagunaTalk 15:14, 21 November 2010 (UTC)Reply
  • "there were some "traditional"[8] songs on the album," = ref after comma

Track listing

edit
  • Source for writers?
  • Isn't it common sense where the sources for writers, personnel, and the track listing itself are from? I've done a few album GAs now and this hasn't been an issue, but I can add the if you like.
  • It is up to you, however I have always thought that it makes sense to source things like this, and it avoids disputes later on. There is the template {{cite music release notes}} designed for this purpose. Adabow (talk · contribs) 01:03, 22 November 2010 (UTC)Reply
  • Not sure if that's how you want it formatted, but I've added the sources in for this and the personnel section. Una LagunaTalk 17:12, 30 November 2010 (UTC)Reply
  • You can incorporate the additional writers of songs into the extra_column field in {{track listing}}
  • There are so few additional writers that I figured an extra column, which would mostly be empty, would be unnecessary. Una LagunaTalk 15:14, 21 November 2010 (UTC)Reply

Personnel

edit
  • Source?

References

edit
  • Make sure that only works in print are italicised, (ie websites should not be)
edit
  • Official site - official site of what?   Done Una LagunaTalk 15:14, 21 November 2010 (UTC)Reply
