GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

It is well written.
a (sources) The article is just lack of sources. And I think there should be more info in the Linkin Park section, especially the last para. Soldier qwerty (talk) 10:11, 15 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Is this review still on-going? Are there any other points that need to be addressed? -- StarScream1007 ►Talk 02:14, 24 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

* The article is well written.

it contains a list of all references, presented in accordance with the layout style guideline.
it contains no original research.
it is broad in its coverage.
it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute.

The things still required are

Images: it should contain images which are tagged with their copyright status, and valid fair use rationales are provided for non-free content, and relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions. Soldier qwerty (talk) 05:14, 24 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

WP:NPOV does not concern breadth of coverage. Wikipedia’s NPOV policy means that all significant claims in an article must be neutrally presented. Rather than saying “Linkin Park is the best band”, we are supposed to say, “Linkin Park is a commercially successful band that has sold x amount of records and won z awards”. Also per the GA review Guidelines, Good articles are not required to have “lengthy sections, especially if the same information can be adequately presented in a concise form. “ LEt me know if there is anything else. Thanks. -- StarScream1007 ►Talk 20:29, 24 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I think the page only requires some usage of images at correct places. Otherwise the article meets the the GA requirements. Soldier qwerty (talk) 07:54, 28 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

"More Images" is not a pass/fail requirement. We are limited by the number of free or open source images available on Flickr and WP Commons. The GA guidelines criteria advises against advises against "making vague requests for 'more' or 'better' images." and "Accepting or requiring images which are decorative but irrelevant." The two (free) pictures in the article offer a head-shot of Shinoda and a 'current' action shot of him playing live during his musical career.

Overall:

Pass/Fail:

I think is not yet a good article because it has got many broken links which must be fixed. So as you have made it a Good Article, I think I'll remove them. No Problem. Be careful next time. Mike:Golu · ^{[ Confidential message ]} 14:12, 2 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
