GA Review
[edit]GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria
This article is in decent shape, but it needs more work before it becomes a Good Article.
- Is it well written?
- A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:
- In the Sayanything (2000–2002) section, this sentence ---> "Bemis began writing songs; his first was called "Sappy", maybe adding "song" or "one", your choice, after "first".

- In the Sayanything (2000–2002) section, this sentence ---> "Bemis began writing songs; his first was called "Sappy", maybe adding "song" or "one", your choice, after "first".
- B. It complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation:
- In the Signing with Doghouse Records (2002–2004) section, it would be best if "…Is a Real Boy" is linked once, per here. In the Major label and more breakdowns (2005) and First headlining tours (2005–2007) sections, link "bipolar disorder" and "Was a Real Boy" once. In the In Defense of the Genre (2007–2008) section, fix the link to "Anthony Green". Same section, link "In Defense of the Genre" once.

The two met several producers but eventually decided on Tim O'Heir and Stephen Trask. Bemis struggled with different ideas for the record and decided the album should focus on "the artistic struggle, the fact that every creative person has this sick ambition to affect some sort of change in society with their art, to be more than just a guy in a band or a poet or a sculptor"?

Fixes
[edit]1.A: fixed
1.B: fixed
2.A: I added publishers for all of these, except for a couple I only added the works for. This seems OK, but if it's not, let me know.
2.B: That reference was there for the quotation. I removed the reference and just left the two references at the end of the paragraph (10 and 11), from where I got all the information for that paragraph.
6.B: photos are now on the right
