GA
editI've decided to pass this nomination and make the page a good article. Here are a few suggestions toward featured status:
- Weasel words, particularly in the later sections, are a problem. "It has been said that..." etc. won't fly at the next level. This problem even made me pause and wonder about making this a GA, but I think the article succeeds in enough other ways.
- Citations - current referencing is spotty. An FA on this topic would probably have twice as many footnotes as the current version.
- Lists - FAC reviewers don't like lists within articles. I don't particularly mind them myself, but I'd suggest branching off the list material into a subordinate page. With enough verification the list page might even become a featured list (see Joan of Arc and Cultural depictions of Joan of Arc for an example).
On the bright side, praise goes to the editors here for thorough and balanced coverage. It doesn't read like fancruft or an industry puff piece. The tone and scope are handled admirably. Congratulations, and keep improving. Durova 14:35, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
- Cool :) Alright, I've taken the 'Tributes' section out of the article and created the article List of tributes to AC/DC in popular culture. I've literally just copied and pasted everything over, so the article could really do with some work (it really needs a better opening paragraph too!). There's a lot of great editors working on the various AC/DC-related articles so I don't even think I need to ask for it to be improved! I'll go through the main AC/DC article and try and improve the weasel words then. HK51 16:36, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
- I was thinking about splitting the "Band Members" section into a new page, the article will be shorter and we'll removing a list. What do you think? No-Bullet 01:09, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
- Hmmm, I'm not so sure, there really isn't enough information there. You'd really just be creating an article made-up of what, essentially, is just a table. Has a similar thing been done with any other articles? It might give us a few ideas of what else to include. HK51 17:11, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
- I've saw it in Iron Maiden band members. We'll have to get rid of that list eventually :(. No-Bullet 20:35, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
- The way they've done it in the Iron Maiden article is pretty good actually. I'd be in agreement if we done a similar thing to what they've done; still including a 'Band members' section, but only showing the current and original line-ups, then having a seperate 'Band members' article which would obviously be linked to in that section. I'm still not sure about having an article that's really just a table though, but if it works on another article, it'd be ok I guess. Any other thoughts on this? HK51 21:38, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
We can merge the Minor members of AC/DC article with that table and create Past members of AC/DC. No-Bullet 22:07, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
- Great idea :) I'd be in favour of doing that. HK51 22:21, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
- Done. Past members of AC/DC. I just copied and pasted everything, so feel free to add or remove anything. No-Bullet 22:57, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
- Great work No-Bullet :) HK51 23:31, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
