GA Reassessment

Article (edit | visual edit | history) · Article talk (edit | history) · Watch

After reviewing this article, I have come to the conclusion that this article needs some work to meet current criteria, outlined below:

• The "2008–present: Commercial success" section needs to be tidied up and reword. There are too many little paragraphs in that section that can be combined. Additionally, the paragraphs that starts with The group's live DVD is not sourced. I doubt the source at the end of the paragraph, I'm assuming as I am not Japanese, does not source the entire paragraph.

The reference at the end of the paragraph does source the entire thing. You could use Google translate to see that.

• The "Musical style" has an extended tag on it. Upon checking, the tag has been there since April 2009 (almost a year now) and if it's still there, then obviously the section is not complete and must be address. The "Lyrics and composition" also needs to be clean up. It gets confusing to read "Nae Gyeote Sumsiur Su Ittdamyeon (White Lie)" (네 곁에 숨쉴 수 있다면). If the Japanese songs can be written as "Kiss Shita Mama, Sayonara" (Kissしたまま、さよなら, lit. As We Kiss, Goodbye), I'm sure something can be done with the Korean songs. Title of songs should be in quotation marks as well.

I had put that tag there in hopes of some other editor could add more with sources. I did search for more sources so it could be expanded, however, none could be found. As for the songs, since there is no template for Korean terms, there is no way to make it look like the Japanese song titles. The most I can think of doing is this "Nae Gyeote Sumsiur Su Ittdamyeon (White Lie)" (네 곁에 숨쉴 수 있다면 (White Lie); If I Can Only Breathe Next To You).

• The lead does not adequately cover the entire contents of the article (WP:LEAD)

I'm going to wait for feedback first to see what other editors say of this. If seven days have gone by and there are no feedback, I'm delisting it.SandylovesMicky (talk) 21:03, 14 March 2010 (UTC)

Sorry you had to wait for feedback. I would have replied earlier but I thought I'd give the other editors a chance to improve the article since they view my editing of the article ownership. But since none of them replied I'll do it. MS (Talk|Contributions) 23:05, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

I appreciate that you were trying to change or tweak the article, MS. Kudos to you. However, as it has been 7 days and some of the things still remain (thank you for explaining some of the things to me, by the way. MUCH appreciated), what do you think? I still don't think it meets GA standards anymore, but we should come to a consensus first. SandylovesMicky (talk) 21:43, 21 March 2010 (UTC)

I was waiting for you to reply before I started to edit the article to see if you agreed with some of what I wrote. However, if you want to de-list it then go ahead. I'll just work on the problems and redo the GA process again. MS (Talk|Contributions) 22:39, 21 March 2010 (UTC)

I was waiting for more editors to voice their opinions, but I suppose since no one else wants to throw their two cents in, I'm de-listing it.SandylovesMicky (talk) 04:12, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
