 Working Will aim to post this review tomorrow. –Grondemar 08:03, 15 January 2017 (UTC)

Well, it didn't end up being tomorrow, but I finally got this review done. Please see below:

This is a very comprehensive article that is very close to GA standard. I made some copyedits throughout the article; please review. I only have one concern that I'd like to see addressed prior to passing this review:

• While all images are properly licensed and have appropriate captions, all could use the addition of alt text per WP:ALT. While alt text is not a GA requirement per se, I find it is relatively easy to add and helps improve accessibility for those who might not be able to see the images. This Signpost article demonstrates why this is so important. For most of the pictures, alt text of "Ben Folds" or "Dweezil Zappa playing the guitar" or "Enimem on stage performing" should be sufficient; the album cover should probably be described in detail.

   B. Images are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions:

   Placeholder for WP:ALT concern above

7. Overall:

   Pass or Fail:

   This review is placed on hold for a minimum of seven days to address the above concern.

Thanks! –Grondemar 21:55, 20 January 2017 (UTC)

@Grondemar: Thank you for reviewing this and performing copyedits. I have added alt text to all the images. How does these edits look?--Gen. Quon (Talk) 18:29, 23 January 2017 (UTC)

@Gen. Quon: Thanks for incorporating the alt text. I made some minor modifications. I also had to replace {{double image}} with {{multiple image}} in order to get the alt text to appear properly for the double image. With all my concerns addressed I am happy to pass this article as a Good Article. Congratulations! –Grondemar 06:41, 24 January 2017 (UTC)
