  • ... that after the critical failure of their previous album, Megadeth's 2016 effort Dystopia charted at number 3 on the Billboard 200?

Improved to Good Article status by L1A1 FAL (talk). Self-nominated at 22:10, 7 August 2016 (UTC).

  • I've fixed the link above so it points to the correct article, please ignore the below review. There are no unresolved tags and the article qualifies as new it became a Good Article on August 7. I would put these comments in order but I think the below user's signature prevents other users from commenting after them. Cowlibob (talk) 10:21, 8 August 2016 (UTC)
  • Not a 5x expansion. Unresolved tags. Per a decision in ANI, this nom requires a second review. LavaBaronOFFICIALLY RECOGNIZED AS MOST POPULAR DYK EDITOR IN HISTORY 07:05, 8 August 2016 (UTC)
Please ignore the review above. There are, in fact, unresolved tags to the article that was nominated in the hook [1] and it was not a creation/5x expansion as claimed by the nom. LavaBaron 17:14, 8 August 2016 (UTC)
@LavaBaron:Nominator here. I apologize for having tagged the article incorrectly (this was supposed to be under GA, rather than 5x expansion/new article obviously). What is the problem with the hook?--L1A1 FAL (talk) 21:45, 8 August 2016 (UTC)
The article you nominated, Dystopia, is tagged "needs additional citations for verification" so I could not promote it. Other editors have reformatted your hook to nominate a new article on your behalf, Dystopia (Megadeth album). LavaBaron (talk) 22:01, 8 August 2016 (UTC)
Oh. OK, I realized my mistake now, I forgot to disambiguate in the hook...wow, I feel dumb now, haha. I was wondering where you were seeing the "additional citations needed" stuff. Anyway, I don't need to do anything more then since the other editors corrected it?(sorry, I'm not overly familiar with the DYK process. The last one I did was several years ago)--L1A1 FAL (talk) 22:09, 8 August 2016 (UTC)
  • Note: I have just fixed the sig in LavaBaron's first post, since its formatting cuts off the middle of the sig through the rest of the page. I've also changed the small text above to read "Improved to Good Article status", but since that line frequently is not correct, it should not be relied on. The standard is DYKcheck (which notes the August 7 GA); the GA icon was even there when eyeballing the article. BlueMoonset (talk) 19:09, 8 August 2016 (UTC)
That's demonstrably incorrect and a false statement. The GA icon was not on the article linked to in the hook [2]: Dystopia. Our obligation as reviewers is to review what a nominator submits, and that is precisely and exactly what I reviewed - what was submitted in the exact form in which it was submitted. As I am currently under DYK restrictions for failing to review exactly what nominators submit, instead giving leeway to what I think they meant to submit, it would be irreconcilable with the conditions of my restriction to brook any flexibility on this point. An ANI decision imposes on me a requirement of perfection. If perfection is demanded, perfection will be given. And perfection does not permit flexibility. LavaBaron (talk) 21:52, 8 August 2016 (UTC)
  • This newly promoted GA is new enough and long enough. It is neutral and I did not detect any policy issues. The main part of the hook is fine, but there does not seem to be an inline citation for "critical failure of their previous album". Perhaps the hook could be rephrased or another one suggested.

How about "After divided critical response to their previous album, Megadeth's 2016 effort Dystopia was well-received by most critics and charted at number 3 on the Billboard 200?" instead? from citation #1 in the "Background" section and citation #54 et al. in the "critical response" section--L1A1 FAL (talk) 18:20, 20 August 2016 (UTC)
  • ALT1 ... that after divided critical response to their previous album, Megadeth's 2016 effort Dystopia was well-received by most critics and charted at number 3 on the Billboard 200?
