GA Candidate

Got track times. It's ready now. --linca linca 09:46, 1 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Nominated. — H ₂O — 09:49, 1 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

on hold

It's mostly OK, but there are some things missing

Title of song should be in italics and not with quotes
- Not according to WP:MUSTARD. Songs are in quotes, while albums and eps are italicised. --lincalinca 03:41, 2 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  - Whoops, I mean MOS:MUSIC. --linca linca 06:42, 3 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Like the other song, there are some details about the song that need filling out, such as key, time 2/4 4/4 and so forth, and preferably more explanation of the lyrics. More discussion of the raw content is needed
- Done... partly. I tried to get some explanations on the lyrics, but other than what we have here, I couldn't come across anything that didn't basically say how much the song rocks (seriously), but nothing else, but I have added the structure key etc info and broken it into its own section. --linca linca 06:34, 3 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Do we know more about the business/record label contract info surrounding this song?
- See Linca's comment below. — H ₂O — 08:03, 2 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Do we know sales figures?
- Don't think so... — H₂O — 08:03, 2 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  - Australian sales figures aren't housed specifically for publication purposes, so they're not easy to come by. Pretty much all aussie music is in this boat, meaning it's unreasonable to have to list it since it's practically impossible to note. --linca linca 06:34, 3 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Some pages need retrieval dates in teh sources.
- Done — H ₂O — 08:03, 2 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
One of the paras is unsourced.
- I can't see one now, but I know H₂O did add a couple. Is it covered now? --linca linca 06:34, 3 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The copyvio, referencing stuff, NOR is all in order apart from that.

Thanks, Blnguyen (bananabucket) 03:14, 2 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'll get to work on the issues, but won't change the italic/quote matter based on my response above. --linca linca 03:41, 2 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I got to work on some stuff and now realised it wasn't what you asked for, other than the charts. Anyway, we now also have the awards listed in full. As to the label info surrounding the song, the song falls right in the middle of the group's contract with Polydor-Universal contract, so I think it's rather irrelevant to note. As to content discussion, the trouble with this is that pretty much everything we could find that referred to it is listed, and anything else we list will invariably be original research (we could publish information from my review of their best of from 2004, on which I went into some details of the allegory of the lyric, but that's MY original research, but published from my third party source). Anyway, I'll see what I can do about the key etc etc. --linca linca 04:49, 2 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well done, thanks again. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 02:19, 5 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
