American Idol edit

I would like to know what people think of this article, and how it could be improved. I have done some minor edits, but most of the work is done by other users. I also would like to know if it could possibly have a chance of becoming a featured article. Thanks. PlatformerMastah 21:14, 20 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]


  • This article is a bit list-weighty; in other words, some of the lists should be converted to prose (paragraph form). For example, see "Controversy".
  • The article will need references. See WP:CITE and WP:V for more information.
  • Please provide WP:CITE information for references/footnotes. See also WP:CITE/ES; templates like {{Cite web}} and {{Cite book}} may be useful here.
  • This article needs footnotes, preferably in the cite.php format recommended by WP:WIAFA. Simply, enclose inline citations, with WP:CITE or WP:CITE/ES information, with <ref>THE FOOTNOTE</ref>. At the bottom of the article, in a section named “References” or “Footnotes”, add <div class="references-small"><references/></div>.
  • The article has a few or too many inline external links, which hamper the readibility of the article. Please convert them to footnotes, preferably in the cite.php format recommended by WP:WIAFA.
  • There are a few sections that are too short and that should be either expanded or merged. For example, Spin-offs produced by same company, Album sales is/are a bit short.

  • "Imitations produced by other companies" title seems POV to me and the prose is choppy and basically a collection of trivia - suggest either tablizing or merging together and making into prose. RN 09:34, 25 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
