Talk:Give Up

Untitled

someone needs to merge this page with The Postal Service page. i would but im at my job slacking off, and i should really be working ;) JoeSmack 19:46, Jul 31, 2004 (UTC)

Disagree. I don't see any reason to merge this with The Postal Service. There is enough material here to constitute a separate page. richdiesal 23:49, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

<^>v!!This album is connected!!v<^>

• All song titles serve as redirects to this album, have their own pages, or have been placed at the appropriate disambiguation pages.--Hraefen ^Talk 21:52, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Electropop

I disagree with this tag. I looked up electropop and what it doesn't seem to be what the postal service's work in Give Up. I can understand a electronica tag but not electropop.Leah (talk) 16:35, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

GA On Hold

This article's Good Article promotion has been put on hold. During review, some issues were discovered that can be resolved without a major re-write. This is how the article, as of March 12, 2008, compares against the six good article criteria:

1. Well written?: Generally well written, however these parts need to be changed or reworded,

• "The band began as a side project between Jimmy Tamborello of Dntel, an electronic music artist, and Death Cab for Cutie's Ben Gibbard, a vocalist for an indie rock band". - reword this, it sounds clumsy.
• "The album was well received" - by everyone ? change it to "generally well received".
• "The album led to three EPs" - the name of albums and EPs should be in italics, not quotation marks.
• Billboard should be in italics.

2. Factually accurate?: Well referenced except,

• Is there a ref for the cquote ? and the article should consistently use either the {cquote} or the {quote} template, not both.
• The magazine name in refs (e.g. Billboard, Rolling Stone) should be in italics, All Music Guide should not.

3. Broad in coverage?: Y Pass. Covers all major aspects concisely

4. Neutral point of view?: Y Pass. Fair representation without bias.

5. Article stability? Y Pass. No edit wars etc.

6. Images?: Y Pass. Both images have complete fair use rationales and appropriate captions.

Please address these matters soon and then leave a note here showing how they have been resolved, and leave a message on my talk page. After 48 hours the article should be reviewed again. If these issues are not addressed within 7 days, the article may be failed without further notice. Thank you for your work so far. - Guerilla In Tha Mist (talk) 16:13, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

I think everything is fixed. naerii - talk 17:40, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, everything seems fine, I'll pass the article. (minor issue-The Stability EP should be in italics).

Yay, thank you! :) naerii - talk 19:24, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
