Re: GA nom

Just a few comments: I don't have time to fully review the article, so someone else should come along shortly.

The major concern that strikes me is that some references are not reliable sources. I see a couple of links to fan boards.
For the link titled "If you are interested in keeping up with Garbage reviews," I'd use the cite news template, give as much detail as possible about the original publication, then link to this in the URL field (you can use the format field to say something like 'Scanned onto fanpage').
Refs should be consistent. Use the cite templates for all of them.
The fair use rationale does not explain why the images are necessary. Yes, they non-replaceable, but what value do they give? Perhaps a section about the covers is needed? Same with the video still. It doesn't seem to offer critical commentary.

GA passed

Meets criteria, awarded GA. Some notes to make it better (obviously, do what's stated above by The JPS too):

Image in Music Video should be right aligned; it conflicts with the next header.
Rolling Stone felt that song's "tender, dreamy verses" brought to mind "Just Like Heaven" by The Cure.[40] - Put this sentence in the previous paragraph, or add more - don't leave it as a one sentence paragraph.
Check ref spacing on ref #29.
Fair use rationales could be expanded - [1][2]
Don't use U.S. - Use United States instead (wikilinking and general prose).

I haven't watchlisted this page, so leave a note on my talk page if you have questions or comments. Dihydrogen Monoxide (H₂O) 01:42, 23 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The following suggestions were generated by a semi-automatic javascript program, and might not be applicable for the article in question.

Per Wikipedia:Context and Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dates), months and days of the week generally should not be linked. Years, decades, and centuries can be linked if they provide context for the article.^[?]
Per Wikipedia:Context and Wikipedia:Build the web, years with full dates should be linked; for example, link January 15, 2006.^[?]
Per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (headings), avoid using special characters (ex: &+{}[]) in headings.
As done in WP:FOOTNOTE, footnotes usually are located right after a punctuation mark (as recommended by the CMS, but not mandatory), such that there is no space in between. For example, the sun is larger than the moon [2]. is usually written as the sun is larger than the moon.[2]^[?]
Please ensure that the article has gone through a thorough copyediting so that it exemplifies some of Wikipedia's best work. See also User:Tony1/How to satisfy Criterion 1a.^[?]
