GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria
This article is in decent shape, but it needs more work before it becomes a Good Article.
- Is it well written?
- A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:
- This is me, but maybe adding the band's nationality to the lead might help. In the Critical reception section, "...although it is a good album track it isn't strong enough to stand up on its own as a single" ---> "...although it is a good album track it is not strong enough to stand up on its own as a single", per here. Same section, "The NME called "It's Not the End of the World?" ---> "NME called the song", remove "The", it doesn't make sense to include and it'd be best to substitute the title of the song.

The dates in the references are not supposed to be linked.
- Check.

Thanks for the review ThinkBlue. I'll address your concerns below as I can't work out how to add them to the GA table that you've used.
- 1A
- Have added the band's nationality.
- Removed the contraction.
- The NME is commonly referred to as "The NME" - see NME
- Oh, I forgot about that.
- I've used the name of the song to avoid repetition on the word "song" in the paragraph.
- Maybe "single" or "track"?
- 1B
- Done
- Check.
- 2C
- As far as I'm aware EveryHit is ok. I've used it on all my articles without anyone mentioning it and seen it on numerous other GA and FA articles.
- Just checkin'.
Hope that's ok Cavie78 (talk) 08:51, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
- You're welcome for the review. Next time, when you come across this GA format, add "#:::", see above, and say what progress you did with the concerns. :) -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 16:21, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

- You're welcome. Now, getting back to business. Thank you to Cavie for getting the stuff I left at the talk page, because I have gone off and placed the article as GA. Congrats. ;) -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 21:12, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
