No Doubt

I've been working on rewriting and referencing much of the article, but it could still use some work. It'd be especially nice for someone to check any POV that I may have introduced or suggest ways that the article could be expanded/reformatted. —ShadowHalo 11:24, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Reasonably solid article. I assume that you are considering taking it WP:FAC. Before you do, there are some image problems here. The gallery of album covers should go per Wikipedia:Fair use criteria. Image:Nd band shot.jpg is improperly sourced -- "rebelwaltz.com" is unlikely to be the copyright holder, and there is no indication of any "implicit license to redistribute". Someone needs to invest some time tracking down images of the band and sending out some Wikipedia:Boilerplate requests for permission to get some correctly licensed images for the article. On the other hand, most band pages heading for WP:FAC include some short song samples, so you should look into creating some with proper fair use rationales. The "In popular culture" section is, well, trivial and list-formatted. The television appearances should probably just be deleted, while the song references could be worked into the text under "Mainstream success". Check your text; "...highly anticipated follow-up..." is cliched marketing-speak. Lose the inlined external link to Invincible Overlord. Nothing else jumped out at me. Hope the above helps.

I'm not looking at WP:FAC yet. Right now, it needs to get to WP:GA status. When you say "correctly licensed", do you mean that an image that can be verified as being promotional is needed or that a free image is needed? Also, I can create some song samples (and have for some of the song/album pages), but where do you recommend that they be added? As it stands, the article doesn't seem long enough to justify a box for several albums, each containing multiple songs, and added at the end of the article is discouraged per Wikipedia:Music samples. I've moved three of the pop culture references to the article and deleted the rest of it, and I made the last two changes. Thanks for all your help so far. —ShadowHalo 23:30, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Looks like it should pass Wikipedia:Good articles standards. It's well-sourced and well-written. Jkelly 00:19, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

Based on your comment, I've nominated it at WP:GAN. —ShadowHalo 00:56, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
