Nominator(s): TGilmour (talk) 15:55, 3 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating this article because I'm sure it meets the criteria and if not, I'm not against improving it. I already contacted the primary editor.

And did said primary editor agree that the article meets the FA criteria? You previously stated that this article needs sections on "musical style and lyrical themes", and it still doesn't have those. Ucucha 16:05, 3 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I know but I wonder if there are other issues concerning this article. TGilmour (talk) 16:54, 3 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
If it is missing information on these topics, why do you think the article meets the FA criteria? Ucucha 17:04, 3 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Drive-by nomination, and after reading primary contributor's talk page, he doesn't seem to want to nominate it. He's a regular at FA, so if it was ready for here he would nom it. Wizardman Operation Big Bear 17:46, 3 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • I removed Pink Floyd from my watchlist a long time ago, because I felt I'd done enough to get it to GA, and to be honest I was sick and tired of the subject. I haven't looked at the article in a long time and therefore cannot comment on whether or not it is ready to be an FA. Parrot of Doom 19:19, 3 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • With that note I'll withdraw the oppose, since on a skim the article looks like it's in good shape, though I don't have time right now to give a full review. Wizardman Operation Big Bear 01:22, 4 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

So please someone start reviewing the article. I'll do my best To promote it to FA status. TGilmour (talk) 20:20, 3 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose at this time, as I don't feel this article is yet at FA standards. Here are some examples of concerns:

  • "In a demonstration of his frustration at being effectively sidelined, Barrett tried to teach the band a new song, "Have You Got It Yet?", but changed the structure on each performance—making it impossible for them to learn." - source?
  • WP:MOS edits needed - wikilinking issues, ellipses, etc
  • Some paragraphs are quite long and should be split to facilitate reading. On the other hand, some paragraphs are very short and choppy
  • Citation needed tagged needs to be addressed
  • "Waters declined the band's invitation to join them as the tour reached Europe, later expressing his annoyance that some Floyd songs were again being performed in large venues. A 1,200 capacity stand collapsed at Earls Court, during the European leg of the tour, but with no serious injuries, the performance was rescheduled." - source?
  • Use a consistent date formatting
  • Reference formatting needs to be much more consistent
  • All web sources need publishers
  • What makes brain-damage a high-quality reliable source? Pinkfloydz? Nikkimaria (talk) 13:42, 4 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
