Reviews[edit]

Some more excerpts from reviews: mymusic.com. ~ trialsanderrors 16:38, 7 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Speaking of reviews, do we really need the RS one that doesn't like the bonus tracks? I'm not a huge fan of the album (i.e. not looking to have all positive reviews), but a discussion on the bonus tracks doesn't really show what RS thought of the album itself, which was 5 stars. Maybe a separate part on what people thought of the bonus tracks/reissue? K1da42 (talk) 17:48, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Songwriting credits[edit]

  • "Anodyne featured a split in songwriting credits between singers Jay Farrar and Jeff Tweedy." ← I added a fact tag since they definitely didn't split credits on the original release and afaik not on the re-release either. The songs are credited as Farrar-Tweedy (P) 1993 Warner-Tamerlane Publishing. ~ trialsanderrors 07:47, 11 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • On page 20 of the booklet (for the re-issue, at least), it shows who wrote what. Teemu08 19:01, 11 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
      • Well, songwriting credits usually means something more specific, in particular how the royalties are assigned, and in that regard Anodyne didn't stray from the prvious album to give joint credit even if the songs were written individually. ~ trialsanderrors 01:36, 12 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Belzer[edit]

  • I'm inclined to swap the shorter version of the Belzer episode in the Uncle Tupelo article with the version here. While the episode matters to the band history, it's not clear what it has to do with the album. Opinions? ~ trialsanderrors 01:38, 12 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

GA review[edit]

I've made a couple of tweaks, namely closing an open quotation, moving a citation, and en-dashing two page ranges, but besides that, here is my GA list:

GA review (see here for criteria)
  1. It is reasonably well written.
    a (prose): b (MoS):
  2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.
    a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
  3. It is broad in its coverage.
    a (major aspects): b (focused):
  4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.
    a (fair representation): b (all significant views):
  5. It is stable.
  6. It contains images, where possible, to illustrate the topic.
    a (tagged and captioned): b lack of images (does not in itself exclude GA): c (non-free images have fair use rationales):
  7. Overall:
    a Pass/Fail:

As far as I'm concerned, this is one of the easiest GA promotions I've had the pleasure to make. Well done. The Rambling Man 15:48, 22 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Page number[edit]

Hey, I need a page number if we are to re-insert this reference: Nathan Brackett praised Max Johnston's contributions to the album in the 2004 book The New Rolling Stone Album Guide and called the album "Tupelo's finest effort." (Brackett 2004) Teemu08 20:56, 10 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Resolved. The book is available on Google Books. ~ trialsanderrors 11:07, 11 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

FAC Comments[edit]

  • In the chronology field, the year is written after the album title and not year before the title.
  • Add dash on the next album field to indicate that there was no following album released.
  • "departure of original" to "departure of the original"
  • remastered  re-mastered
  • with five bonus tracks  including five bonus tracks
  • No Depression and Still Feel Gone Whose albums are these? Theirs? Please indicate.
  • "He wasn't the" avoid contracted words. wasn't  was not
  • ire is a noun. Any synonymous verb for this?
  • "This ired Farrar, who interpreted these practice sessions as a sign of arrogance." This is a fragmented sentence. Try Microsoft word to verify. This needs rewording.
  • "The lyrics of Anodyne" I thought Anodyne is a song.
    • Anodyne in italics refers to the album, "Anodyne" in quotes refers to the song.
What I mean is Anodyne has lyrics? It is an album; maybe you want to say the lyrical content of Anodyne. --BritandBeyonce (talk) 09:42, 18 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Wikilink cover.
  • critics poll  critics' poll
  • Nathan Brackett praised Max Johnston's contributions to the album in the 2004 book The New Rolling Stone Album Guide and called the album "Tupelo's finest effort." Redundant "album"; try record or any equivalent word.
  • "Norwegian newspaper Dagbladet listed the album as one" replace "the album" with Anodyne
  • listed Anodyne as one of "The Best Albums of the Century" in 1999.  listed Anodyne in 1999 as one of "The Best Albums of the Century". To reduce ambiguity.
  • Rolling Stone' critic Tom Moon  Rolling Stone's critic Tom Moon
  • Citation formatting is not consistent. When using date for publication, confine it in a parenthesis. When using December 9, 1993 in the publication date, use 1993-12-9 for the accessdate or vise versa to not confuse readers.
    • This is due to the use of different templates. Websites are formatted differently than magazine sources (don't ask me why, its just the way it is around here).
Clarification: To avoid confusion, when using Month(word)-date-year, like this, December 9, 1993, do not use the same format in the accessdate field. Usually, editors use this one, 2007-12-9. Is it clear? Also, as I've said, dates of publications are confined in a parenthesis. For citing web, parenthesis is automatically produced without adding it the syntax. For news, you need to add. So, its pretty clear that that several citations were placed in the wrong type of tag. For example, the Billboard Heetseekers and Rolling Stone review (citation 34), the type of tag being used is news, as in {{Cite news}}, when in fact, {{Cite web}} is appropriate. I don't know what did you use as source for the Billboard? The web? Where is the url? Or if the magazine, see here. --BritandBeyonce (talk) 09:42, 18 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
OK, I think I understand what you mean, and I have changed the template data to reflect this. Teemu08 (talk) 22:08, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Ok. Thank you. Good luck. --BritandBeyonce (talk) 00:53, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Why are the reference lists formatted in italics?
    • I don't see what this is referring to. could you clarify?
Forget it. What I saw using Microsoft word is italics. --BritandBeyonce (talk) 09:42, 18 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please feel free to object. --BritandBeyonce (talk) 00:41, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Addressed the comments to the best of my ability. Teemu08 (talk) 05:22, 18 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Context[edit]

Is the vulgarity in the second sentence really necessary? Especially after being drawn to this article from its FA lead which is read by a wider audience (including younger) than the band's fans.
