GA Reassessment

I am doing the GA Reassessment on this article as part of the GA Sweeps project.

I am concerned that the article is not up to date. I see one reference to contributors to the band from 2007 with nothing since then. Is there anything else to the band's resume since 2007? Have they recorded another album, gone on tour, added/removed members? I am also concerned that 7 links in the references section are dead. In fact there are only 3 links that are active in the refs. The dead links are: 3, 6, 16, 18, 19, 20, and 23. Also the Loose Fur and Drag city link is dead. I will hold the article for a week to see if fixes can be made. Please contact me on my talk page if you have questions. H1nkles (talk) 15:17, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

The following is copied from H1nkles talk page... Greetings. You recently reviewed Loose Fur for GA sweeps. Loose fur has neither toured nor put out any new material since 2007; since the band is a side project, the members are usually busy with their own projects. You brought up an interesting problem, however. I checked all of the links, and they're fine. Puzzled by this, I ran the page through Checklinks and it came back with the same results that you did [1]. I checked another article that uses Billboard citations and found that the problem is with Checklinks, not with the article citations. Teemu08 (talk) 17:24, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

Based on this information I will keep the article at GA. H1nkles (talk) 19:58, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
