GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):
It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias:
It is stable.
No edit wars, etc.:
It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
Overall:
Pass/Fail:

1) MOS

Chart placements need to be in following format, No. <number>, per WP:NUMERO.

2) Refs

The dates on references need to be in a consistent format.

Gold Cobra sold 27,500 copies... needs a source.

ref 18 no longer works, see WP:GOODCHARTS for a list of suitable replacement sources.

Allmusic as the publisher is sometimes italicised and sometimes not, be consistent. Again the same with Artistdirect. Sometimes it Blabbermouth.net and other times it is just Blabbermouth. Check all publisher/work/newspaper options on refs are consistently formatted and named.

ref 26 has the same date twice, it seems to incorrectly using |author=

Deccan Chronicle needs to be italicised and again in the Pro ratings box

A couple of other things

Was the album certified anywhere?

The size of the text on the music sample looks small.

Could do with a link to Billboard 200 within the prose.

All done for now. The main problem here is the references, I'll leave this on hold so that the issues can be fixed, thanks. Mattg82 (talk) 01:03, 21 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It appears that some but not all of the issues were fixed. This should be either passed or failed in the next day or two. Wizardman _{Operation Big Bear} 03:00, 2 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, after comparing the review comments to the changes, I see almost nothing has been fixed. As a result, I'm failing this. Wizardman _{Operation Big Bear} 05:05, 8 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
