All You Need Is Love (The JAMs song) edit

Having just seen the promotion of our article on the final collaborative work (to date) of the duo best known as The KLF (2K's "Fuck the Millennium") it's quite fitting that my next submission is their debut single, "All You Need Is Love" by The Justified Ancients of Mu-Mu (The JAMs). I believe that the article meets the Featured Article criteria and is of the same high standard as "Fuck the Millennium", making it one of Wikipedia's best articles on songs.

  1. Well written. The article is written by the same team as our previous successful nominations and, if anything, I believe is even more compelling. I'll leave you to judge this, but all I can say is that coming back to this article after some time I found it to be an enjoyable read.
  2. Factually accurate, neutral and verifiable. Yes. It's referenced, and as always there's been no cherrypicking. Nothing much in the negative was found about this song, although we have mentioned a negative review of the album on which it was contained to try and add some balance. The number of references is lower in this piece since at this time The JAMs were very much an underground band whose exposure was limited to the British music press. Nonetheless, I believe there are no uncited assertions of any significance.
  3. Stable. Very much so. The article had not had a major edit since June, until I tweaked it yesterday in preperation for this FAC.
  4. Appropriate length. I believe so. The article is comprehensive without being over-long.

Only one fair use image is used, the cover of the picture sleeve featuring a defaced James Anderton. Two audio samples are provided - one of the original release, one of the remade version. All three media have fair use rationales applied. One of the audio samples is a little over the recommended 30 seconds - I will edit and reupload if that is felt to be a problem.

The article has received the GA badge and undergone a peer review. --kingboyk 09:22, 5 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support, seems to meet the FA criteria unless I missed something. — Wackymacs 12:14, 5 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose (Withdrawn), needs some pictures other than the cover of the single. Teemu08 18:11, 12 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Erm... Such as? There's no other relevant picture to add that I can think of. FAs aren't even required to have any pictures that I'm aware of. Of course if you have a free image of The JAMs in 1987 we could use it but I don't know of such a picture and we couldn't claim fair use on a portrait as it's not central to an article about a song. --kingboyk 19:22, 12 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      • Teemu08, that's not a valid reason to object. Take a look at the FA criteria, images are not even required. — Wackymacs 07:07, 13 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - This is the best song article I've seen on Wikipedia so far, and wipes the floor with the other FA song articles. LuciferMorgan 16:07, 14 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Gosh (blushes). I think we might have to quote that on WP:KLF :) Thanks very much. --kingboyk 17:20, 14 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - Well written, nice song clips, great referencing. Solid FA candidate. Nice work as usual, Kingboyk. Wickethewok 15:33, 22 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Thank you, but I can't take all the credit :) --kingboyk 18:24, 25 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - Comprehensive, well written and shows what WP can do. Probably the most comprehensive source of info on the web. Check out WP:KLF and you'll see how many similar standard articles are waiting their term for FA candidacy. Me677 11:53, 25 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
