Article needs expansion

[edit]

For a featured article, it is missing a lot of information. It's pretty standard for album articles to talk about the individual songs on the album and their composition and style, this article has none of that. The personnel section is unsourced entirely, as is the tracklisting (mostly songwriting credit). quite a few sentences are unreferenced (although this might just be a formatting error in adding a second tag of a source). The Themes and Artwork sections seem rather sparse for how much lore there is for the album. The reception section could be expanded (and why is an alt.press review in the external links?). I know FA standards have changed a lot over the years, but I think this article might have trouble getting GA now with a strict enough reviewer. RF23 (talk) 12:24, 30 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Added source for writing credits and personnel, but I agree this article would struggle to maintain its featured status were someone to nominate it for review in its current state. I did what I could, but don't have the time/energy to fix all these other issues mentioned by @Ringerfan23: above. I hope someone else does, as this was the last Nine Inch Nails album I enjoyed. It would be a shame to see it delisted. Homeostasis07 (talk/contributions) 00:06, 12 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
