Johann Sebastian Bach edit

It has been noted that this article is well written and informative. It was nominated last year as a Featured Article, and the concerns raised then appear to have been addressed. It has twice been nominated recently as a Good Article, failing originally on very minor grounds. It was felt at the time that the rejection of the original Good Article nomination was rather harsh. I have passed it through as a Good Article as it appears that concerns about the article are minor in comparison to its overwhelming achievements. It would appear to me that with some assistance that this article could be put forward again for nomination as a Featured Article. SilkTork 14:33, 28 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe, but the second Weimar section hasn't been written, a sound clip hasn't been inserted, and the Works and Legacies sections could do with some fixing. I've just written the style section, and it's bound to cause controversy. Tony 14:44, 28 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

See the FAC.
I find that putting the media file directly in the text is a bit disruptive to the lead, perhaps consider moving the file into a table on the side like is done in Music of the United States.

Please expand the lead to conform with guidelines at WP:LEAD. The article should have an appropriate number of paragraphs as is shown on WP:LEAD, and should adequately summarize the article. It should be between 3-4 paragraphs long.

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 may be a bit list-weighty; in other words, some of the lists should be converted to prose (paragraph form). For example, see "Other keyboard works".

Please alphabetize the categories and interlanguage links.
I think "Eponyms" can be merged with "Legacy"

The link you provide says that the lead should be 'up to four paragraphs long'. There's no prescribed number beyond that statement. Tony 01:08, 29 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

See WP:LEAD#Be appropriate length. Thanks, AndyZ _t 13:53, 29 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, that's what I looked at and quoted from above. There's no strict prescription for the number of paragraphs in the lead, and nor should there be. Every text is different, and provided that the lead fulfills its basic functions, there is rightly a flexibility about the number of paragraphs (although not more than four).
