Talk:Ramones/GA1

GA Review

Article (edit | visual edit | history) · Article talk (edit | history) · Watch

This article is being quick-failed for the following reasons:

• Rife with unsourced statements. Just in the first subsection:
  • "They became friends with Douglas Colvin, whose family had recently moved to the area."
  • "Jeffrey Hyman was in the short-lived early 1970s glam rock band Sniper."
  • "The Ramones began taking shape in early 1974 when Cummings and Colvin invited Hyman to join them in a band. The initial lineup featured Colvin on lead vocals and rhythm guitar, Cummings on lead guitar, and Hyman on drums."
  • This entire paragraph: "A friend of the band..."
  • "Around this time, a new music scene was emerging in New York centered around two clubs in downtown Manhattan—Max's Kansas City and, most famously, CBGB (usually referred to as CBGB's)."
  • "The band swiftly became regulars at the club, playing there seventy-four times by the end of the year."
  • "By this time, the Ramones were recognized as leaders of the new scene that was increasingly being referred to as "punk"."
• Too many paragraphs begin with the "In/On [year/date]," construction. (This is minor, but easily corrected.)
• The three music samples exceed the 10% of track length maximum, lack or have insufficient fair use rationales and lack captions.
