Reviewer: Scott Free (talk) 16:48, 16 December 2009 (UTC) I'm familiar with this record - I plan to review this article in the next few days. Looks pretty solid in terms of content and references. I'll probably have a few suggestions, so I put the article on hold. My first comment is that there does not seem to be much in terms album reviews or critical comments. I think it would help the article in terms of broad coverage to include some of that type of material. --Scott Free (talk) 16:48, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

Hello Scott! Just a note that I've added some reviews and such to the "Aftermath" section per your request. - I.M.S. (talk) 03:15, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

Hey looks good - I added a few tweaks of my own, just to try to make the presentation a little snappier. The only other suggestions I would have is to maybe have more info on the Castle reissue and other reissues, if possible. Also, maybe try to expand the Soundtrack section, it's a little brief. --Scott Free (talk) 22:13, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the suggestions, Scott! I just made two adjustments [1] and [2]. Does it look alright now? - I.M.S. (talk) 22:54, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

I've just expanded the reissue section - what do you think? - I.M.S. (talk) 00:36, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

This a pretty jammin' article for a pretty kickass record. I remember Ray Davies playing Long Way from Home the last time he swung by here, so this record still gets good mileage. Congrats on all the hard work. Unless you have anything to add, I'm prepared to pass this article as it stands. Cheers,--Scott Free (talk) 19:53, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the kind words! I don't have much else to add - I believe I'm ready! ;) - I.M.S. (talk) 19:57, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for taking the time to review, Scott! If it's alright with you. I'll go ahead and add it to the list of GAs. Many thanks - I.M.S. (talk) 20:00, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

1. Is it reasonably well written?

   A. Prose quality:

   It's pretty solid. It could stand some tightening up; such as checking some repetition and smoothing over some paragraph transitions.

   

   B. MoS compliance:

   It's OK - it could use a little more uniform formatting.

2. Is it factually accurate and verifiable?

   A. References to sources:

   Pretty good.

   B. Citation of reliable sources where necessary:

   It's good. A few popular web sites, but no major issues.

   C. No original research:

   The intro and the songs section are a little free and easy, but nothing problematic.

3. Is it broad in its coverage?

   A. Major aspects:

   It covers the essential ground. There's room for more, but it's good. There could be mention of the previous album and the subsequent album for example; a little more on Lola, maybe. Some more musical and style description for the songs; more album review comments.

   B. Focused:

   Pretty focused. Some of the sections could use a bit more streamlining.

4. Is it neutral?

   Fair representation without bias:

5. Is it stable?

   No edit wars, etc:

6. Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?

   A. Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:

   B. Images are provided where possible and appropriate, with suitable captions:

7. Overall:

   Pass or Fail:

   This is a pass.
