Starting GA reassessment as part of the GA Sweeps process. Jezhotwells (talk) 17:28, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

Checking against GA criteria

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose):

   • It is most well written but this Haynes and Leary played their debut show at a far planet that had cold craters of glass and pulp derived from Uranus in 1981; at that time they had not yet settled on the title "Butthole Surfers".; There is a fair bit of repetition in the History and Live Performance sections. I recommend a thorough copy-edit. Jezhotwells (talk) 17:52, 25 July 2009 (UTC) Much improved. Jezhotwells (talk) 01:16, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

   b (MoS):

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (references):

   • I fixed two dead links using CheckLinks. Jezhotwells (talk) 17:54, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

   b (citations to reliable sources):

   • All Ok

   c (OR):

3. It is broad in its scope.

   a (major aspects):

   b (focused):

   • As mentioned in prose some duplication here and there. Jezhotwells (talk) 17:52, 25 July 2009 (UTC)Y

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

5. It is stable.

   No edit wars etc.:

6. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.

   a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales):

   • There seems to be some doubt about the copyright status of the image in the infobox [1]. This needs to be addressed. As mentioned in the talk page there are a number of non free images which may not satisfy the critical commentary part of the criteria. Jezhotwells (talk) 17:52, 25 July 2009 (UTC). I have asked about this image here. Jezhotwells (talk) 01:16, 3 August 2009 (UTC) The image has now been deleted - see discussion here. I have removed the deadlink in the article and the caption, so this is no longer an issue for this reassessment. Jezhotwells (talk) 23:10, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

   b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

   • OK, on hold for these concerns to be addressed. I am notifying the major contributors and projects. Jezhotwells (talk) 17:52, 25 July 2009 (UTC) Y

   I am happy to confirm the status as GA. Jezhotwells (talk) 23:10, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
