Don't Speak

One of my favourite songs, I think that it is on its way to becoming a featured article. Its first nomination failed, so I'd like input on how to improve it. Any comments? Miss Michelle | Talk to Michelle 22:10, 7 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

It's a decent start, but it appears that some of the criticisms in the first nomination haven't been addressed:

"for an article on a song it is notably missing any description of the lyrics or the music (melody, cords etc), it also makes some pretty big claims that aren't supported, for example how did a notably un-ska song start the ska revivial of the mid 90s?"
"The article is fairly good as far as it goes, but it's just too short."
"It doesn't explain the lead-up to the song very well..."

I think it could also use a longer references section with tags in the text. (See Template talk:Ref.) Opinion statements such as ""Don't Speak" is generally considered to be the band's signature song" need references, for example. Thank you for your work on this. :) — RJH 17:49, 10 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I changed the signature song sentence to "one of their most popular". The rest is in progress. Unattributed statements are commented out pending further research. Miss Michelle | Talk to Michelle 20:35, 12 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
