Of course!

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):

   The last part of the first sentence, there is something missing ahead "the US", maybe "in"

   And the second sentence also has the "in the US" at the end; maybe rephrase to remove repetition.

   "and their last with " - Their last what? His last appearance?

   ""new"" - why in quatation marks? If he debuted on this album, this should be mentioned in the lead

   "According to several interviews with Bruce Dickinson, he" - "he" is Harris?

   "song-writing" - this should be written together

   "having to give what he calls a "moral contribution", i.e. having an influence on particular tracks without giving enough creative input to earn a writing credit.[6]" - sounds like noun + ing. Abbreviations should be spelled out, or replaced with better words

   "an albums"

   "having to write an albums worth of songs almost entirely from scratch for the first time.[3]" - needs rephrasing

   B-side should be linked

   Quotation marks in quotes should be replaced with apostrophes

   "star struck" - what does that mean?

   "90's" should be "90s" per WP:DECADE

   "A Tribute to the Beast, Vol. 2 " should be italicized

   "Sebastian Bach" "Skid Row" and "Iced Earth" should be linked

   ""The Number of the Beast" quotation mark missing

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):

   How reliable is

   [1]

   [2] (Firefox blocks this website)

   [3]

   Amazon? - remove; also you claim that all the information in the first section of "Appearance in media" is available in [4], which is totally incorrect

   Youtube? - remove; easily fails WP:V and WP:RS

   Myspace? - remove; similar situation as with Youtube.

   Many references have no publisher, accessdate, etc--♫GoP♫_T^C_N 13:19, 27 January 2012 (UTC)

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

5. It is stable.

   No edit wars, etc.:

6. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.

   a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

Comment

Hi, I have addressed all the issues that have been outlined so far.--Nerdtrap (talk) 21:22, 23 January 2012 (UTC)

Replaced unsuitable refs (although how an amazon link which details the soundtrack is unacceptable I don't know). Removed Uncle Howie records because I couldn't find a replacement. Also removed the part about Nick Tershay for the same reasons (although I would have thought that an interview with the man himself would have been fine, even if it was on Youtube!!!).--Nerdtrap (talk) 14:44, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
