Hmmm, it seems you waited too long. I will be reviewing this article for GA. — Legolas ^(talk2me) 16:05, 1 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Review

The following are some general comments.

Please remove the {{main}} template from the sections. The album names are all wikilinked and anyone can find them. Looks highly unencyclopedic.

What is your rationale for using File:Korn - Predictable (demo).ogg? I don't see any critical commentary regarding it in the article. There is just the reference link in the ogg format display. This is same for the others also.

For the section headers, there is M?OS:DATES violations, we use section names as Life Is Peachy (1996–97) if the range is in the same century.

File:Korn MTV Asia Awards 2006.jpg is much much better sutied as the infobox pic than File:Korn.jpg.

Discography. Only studio albums are listed. Rest is just WP:UNDUE.

Discogs are unreliable sources.

Replaced sources CrowzRSA 23:58, 9 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please check the whole article for 3x Platinum like language. Unencyclopedic and should be changed to three-times platinum.

You sometimes use the em-dash in the wuote boxes, sometimes not. Please achieve consistency. — Legolas ^(talk2me) 07:25, 7 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Roadrunner records is used as a source multiple times. Since it is their record label, I am not sure it qualifies as a third party source. cheers --Guerillero | My Talk 22:58, 11 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Blabbermouth.net is an established, third-party website in it's respectful field, and is only parented by Roadrunner Records. That makes it even more reliable, since they won't lie or give false information about that stuff, as they know it could contradict what a band member could say in an interview or what is on the album-notes. Besides, Roadrunner wasn't their record until 2010… CrowzRSA 19:49, 12 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Anything else that the writer needs to fix up? Wizardman _{Operation Big Bear} 17:47, 20 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

~~The reviewer hasn't been active on here since the 12th, they'll probably be back on sooner or later…~~ User:Legolas2186 just said that he won't get back on wikipedia for a few months... Should I put a note on the GAN page saying the reviewer has left, and there is need for another reviewer? CrowzRSA 20:39, 20 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'll make it easy and just take over this review where he left off; it shouldn't take too long since he probably found most of the issues. Wizardman _{Operation Big Bear} 16:28, 21 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, thanks. CrowzRSA 18:36, 21 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Here are the issues I found:

~~"Korn formed in 1993, the same year they released" you say they formed in 1993 in the earlier paragraph, so it feels redundant here.~~

~~"Korn currently has 35 singles and 19" singles, 19~~
"Silveria explained, "the music makes the name, because Korn's a dumb name. But once we get established, it makes the name cool."" Quotes need cites.
The last paragraph in the Take a Look section about Brian Welch, while worthy of note, doesn't seem to fit in with the section with the way it's currently written. If nothign else, note what the venue was that it took place (i think it's cbgb, but i could be wrong)
"Korn announced on November 22, 2010 that they will be co-headlining the Music as a Weapon V tour with Disturbed. The tour will also feature supporting acts Sevendust and In This Moment." cite preferred for their announcement.
"Jonathan Davis was said by Doug Small to be "the eye of the storm around which the music of Korn rages." Small described the band as "a basket-case full of contradictions."" both quotes need cites

I'll re-put the article on hold and will pass it when the above issues are fixed. Wizardman _{Operation Big Bear} 05:50, 27 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Everything checks out now, so I'll pass the article as a GA. Wizardman _{Operation Big Bear} 03:23, 1 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
