Lede

• Should definitely have the nationality, genre too probably. Compare with FAs Kala (album) and Is This It

  I went with "San Francisco-based" rather than "American", it seems more relevant to their leanings than something as broad as a country ("American" music is pretty wide spectrum depending on your home city/state, it seems). I took the genre out as a lot of FNM articles are the subject of an endless edit war over precise genres; I felt it best to just let the discussion of the actual music take precedence without listing a genre that will no doubt be changed thirty times back and forth by IP editors. :( GRAPPLE X 14:10, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

Production

• Martin had already begun skipping practice sessions with the band," in 1993?

  1992ish; I've directly mentioned that it was during the recording of Angel Dust. GRAPPLE X 14:10, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

• "during the Angel Dust recording session" - Huh, when? Link (if available)

  Linked at first reference, didn't realise I hadn't done so. Reworded the date for it to draw more attention to the release year. GRAPPLE X 14:10, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

• whose wife Courtney Love was a close friend of Bottum's. - In the lede you have him as Cobain's friend

  Have amended the lead to match this. GRAPPLE X 14:10, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

• Reference for German charting?

  Must have overlooked that; the German chart site doesn't actually list it as having charted at all. :/ Removed. GRAPPLE X 14:13, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

3

• No information where the album was recorded and the like?
• All in all the production section is a little light.

  Have expanded it with an extra parapgraph worth of stuff and broken it into two subheadings; if it still feels a bit brief I can see what else I could dig up. GRAPPLE X 17:14, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

• On hold for seven days — Crisco 1492 (talk) 10:08, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

  Thanks for having a look at this one for me. I appreciate it. GRAPPLE X 17:15, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

• Almost there, just one {{fact}} tag to deal with (direct quote, so needs a citation) — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:47, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

  Thanks. Cited that, was just the same source as the one used for the paragraph. GRAPPLE X 10:15, 6 July 2012 (UTC)

  Alright, looks good to go! — Crisco 1492 (talk) 10:48, 6 July 2012 (UTC)
