Copyedit

I haven't started on the prose yet, but here are a few things that I've noticed so far:

  • Several of the reference links are anchored to specific places on the source page - Great!
  • Two sources, #4 and #9, I didn't see the connection to the cited information. I'll try a closer read.
  • We really need a source for that fact about the vinyl-only US release. I'll look around.
I found one. --TwentiethApril1986 21:10, 17 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Love the music samples on the page.
  • Ref #20. I can't check it, and the quote, as presented here, is a bit off. Seems like there's at least one missing word ("There's nothing contrived IN 'I Should Coco'). Would it be possible to check this quote for accuracy?
Which number is that now? I've added a few more refs since that.. --TwentiethApril1986 21:14, 17 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It's now Ref #25. --AnnaFrance (talk) 02:01, 18 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I think WesleyDodds has fixed the quote. --TwentiethApril1986 12:48, 18 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • The link part of Ref #21 is a 404.
Again... Same as above. --TwentiethApril1986 23:56, 17 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
And this one is Ref #26. --AnnaFrance (talk) 02:01, 18 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I shall try and find replacement link. --TwentiethApril1986 12:48, 18 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It seems that all the artist pages at nudeasthenews.com are not working. I'll wait and see if the problem gets fixed. --TwentiethApril1986 12:53, 18 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • The Mercury Prize nomination is mentioned twice, sourced both times, to 2 different sources. I think you should pick one and use it twice.
  • WP:MOS says to avoid text sandwiched between pictures, which happens with the opening text box and the back cover pic. It occurred to me that if we switched the Artwork section and the Recording and production section it would probably fix the problem. Does that sound OK?
I've done that now. I think it looks better. --TwentiethApril1986 20:34, 17 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Article is wikified fabulously.
  • WP:MOS states that the lead section is supposed to be a summary, no unique information (like a tiny version of the article). There are several parts here that do not appear later: Backbeat Records, influenced by Blur and Oasis, etc.
I have expanded the 'Influences' and 'Recording and production' sections to include Backbeat Records and Blur and Oasis. --TwentiethApril1986 19:30, 17 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • In particular, the lead paragraph says that Supergrass "went on to have lasting success". That definitely needs to be developed in the article. Or removed.
  • Could we get 1 or 2 music videos, from YouTube or elsewhere, in the External links section?
I'll get one from their official YT page so it wont effect copyright. --TwentiethApril1986 19:30, 17 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Done --TwentiethApril1986 19:59, 17 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Whew! Didn't plan to go on like that. I'll start taking a look at the prose now. Cheers. --AnnaFrance (talk) 18:13, 17 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

New It's getting a little chaotic trying to clean up text that is still being created. Shall I wait a day or two for the article to settle down? --AnnaFrance (talk) 20:26, 18 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]


Lead section

I just want to know does the lead section "summarize the topic by touching on all of the various sections within the article." ? I want to get it pretty much perfect before nominating for GA.

Thanks TwentiethApril1986 17:12, 18 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It says the lead section should be an "overview" and should "summarize the most important points". That's as specific as it gets. Since this is a summary, and I see you're still adding things here and there, I'm holding off on editing the lead section. I'll do that last. --AnnaFrance (talk) 19:20, 18 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Recording and production

The chronology of the Backstreet and Parlophone deals was unclear. If my rearrangement implies something that isn't accurate, please let me know—I'll correct it. As stated in the edit summary, I'm definitely not done with this section.

Also, there's a quote here that sounds strange: "I remember everybody got in the live room". That can't be right, can it?

--AnnaFrance (talk) 20:26, 18 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The quote is correct. You know a live room in a recording studio? That's what he's saying. --TwentiethApril1986 21:31, 18 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The part about the chronology of the Backstreet and Parlophone deals are accurate. Thanks. --TwentiethApril1986 21:33, 18 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

New Another question about the quote. There are 3 sentences here from Gaz Coombes. For formatting, we need to know how they occurred in the source material. Since they are quoted separately in the article ("Quote." "Quote." "Quote."), I assume the 3 sentences are separate in the source—there is intervening material. Is that correct? --AnnaFrance (talk) 14:38, 20 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
