Greatest Hits (Blink-182 album) has been listed as one of the Music good articles under the good article criteria. If you can improve it further, please do so. If it no longer meets these criteria, you can reassess it.
Review: October 16, 2016. (Reviewed version).

Down

Like Dammit and Josie, the version of Down on this album is also the single edit, not the original song. The ending of the song was changed for radio-play, as is apparent if you listen to it, so the page should mention this as it does for Dammit and Josie.

Fair use rationale for Image:Blink182greatesthits.jpg

Image:Blink182greatesthits.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 14:20, 1 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The Background section of this article repeats itself. First, it gives an interesting paragraph about the breakup with details that make sense, but then repeats itself with a an extremely vague paragraph filled with speech that dodges the issues and is wholly uninteresting like something from a press release. I'm not familiar enough with this group enough to edit the article but could someone comfortable with this subject clean this up? 173.14.55.209 (talk) 13:30, 25 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Image needed for the DVD

The DVD info box section may need the DVD image that use to have when it was a separate article. --121.216.222.11 (talk) 00:48, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in Greatest Hits (Blink-182 album)

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Greatest Hits (Blink-182 album)'s orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "linernotes":

From Icon (Blink-182 album): Blink-182: Icon (Media notes). US: Geffen. 2013. {{cite AV media notes}}: |format= requires |url= (help); Unknown parameter |bandname= ignored (help); Unknown parameter |publisherid= ignored (help)
From Buddha (album): Buddha (Media notes). US: Filter Records. 1994. {{cite AV media notes}}: |format= requires |url= (help); Unknown parameter |bandname= ignored (help); Unknown parameter |publisherid= ignored (help)
From Dude Ranch (album): Dude Ranch (Media notes). US: Cargo Music / MCA Records. 1997. {{cite AV media notes}}: |format= requires |url= (help); Unknown parameter |bandname= ignored (help); Unknown parameter |publisherid= ignored (help)
From Enema of the State: Enema of the State (Media notes). US: MCA Records. 1999. {{cite AV media notes}}: |format= requires |url= (help); Unknown parameter |bandname= ignored (help); Unknown parameter |publisherid= ignored (help)

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 18:40, 28 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Genre

Added punk rock and skate punk to the genre, as this compilation contains songs from both Cheshire Cat and Dude Ranch albums, which are considered to correspond to such genres. Engalazillo (talk) 17:01, 18 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Rate	Attribute	Review Comment
1. Well-written:
	1a. the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct.	The compilation was released alongside a DVD of the same name, collecting the band's music videos to that point. - Consider writing '..a collection of the band's music videos at that point in time' or similar. ~~Nevertheless, the possible deal loomed over the band in addition to growing internal tension. - Consider changing this to '...loomed over the band, contributing to internal tension' or similar~~ In addition, DeLonge disliked Barker's new reality television series, Meet the Barkers; he disliked television cameras everywhere, feeling as though his personal privacy was invaded - Try not to use disliked twice in one sentence. ~~Try to keep the capitalization of the band consistent throughout this article. I know it can kind of go either way.~~
	1b. it complies with the Manual of Style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation.
2. Verifiable with no original research:
	2a. it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline.	Fix formatting for the following: ~~GFK Chart-Track Albums: Week {{{week}}}, {{{year}}}". Chart-Track.IRMA. Retrieved July 26, 2016.~~ ~~‹See Tfm›Greatest Hits (Japanese Edition) (liner notes). Blink-182.Japan]]: Geffen Records. 2005. UICF-1055.~~
	2b. reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose).	I do not want a citation for every single track. However, a citation for where you got the track lengths would be good. A quick Google search gave me different (barely) results. One citation for track length should be sufficient. ~~Consider using {{rp}} for the page numbers; it helps condense the citations. (pretty strong recommendation)~~
	2c. it contains no original research.
	2d. it contains no copyright violations or plagiarism.
3. Broad in its coverage:
	3a. it addresses the main aspects of the topic.	~~Consider adding in a small section on artwork~~
	3b. it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style).	~~Critical reception seems really, really short compared to other album articles. Please expand if possible.~~
	4. Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each.
	5. Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute.
6. Illustrated, if possible, by media such as images, video, or audio:
	6a. media are tagged with their copyright statuses, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content.
	6b. media are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions.
	7. Overall assessment.

Review comments

I'll be reviewing this throughout the day. Kees08 (talk) 17:42, 9 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Saginaw-hitchhiker: Review complete, please address things noted in review or provide rationale to not include those changes. 04:05, 15 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! Implemented everything you suggested! One note:

I imagined the critical reception section might come up. My explanation is that there is just not that many reviews for this particular greatest hits, which is strange since there were plenty of music publications in 2005. I have searched, and the only other ones available are amateur stuff (sputnikmusic, ultimate-guitar).
