I wondered if this might look better. Now I can see it, I'm not so sure. Pdfpdf (talk) 11:18, 25 April 2014 (UTC)Reply

Assessment comment

The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:The Whitlams/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.

Comment(s)Press [show] to view →
C class:
  •  Y All the start class criteria
  •  Y A reasonably complete infobox, including suitable photo where available
  •  Y At least one other section of prose (in addition to the lead section)
  •  Y A discography containing major releases
  •  Y A "members" section listing performers.
  •  Y Independent in-line references supporting major/controversial claims.

Note: this last point is the weakest area in the current article. Some assessors would decline C-class on this basis alone.

B class:

  •  Y All the C class criteria
  •  Y A completed infobox, including suitable photo where possible and most technical details
  •  Y A full discography list, including albums, singles and their charting history
  •  Y A full "members" section including past members, time spans, and instrumentation
  •  N No obvious issues with sourcing, including the use of blatantly improper sources.
  •  N No significant issues exist to hamper readability, although it may not rigorously follow WP:MOS

Get some reliable independent references in there e.g. Both Plunder and Lewis die by suicide? Any major newspaper articles to support these claims?

Charting history try =The+Whitlams Australian Charts Portal for post-1988 releases. For earlier releases find chart positions from the Kent Music Report at a local library. Curiously why have a column for NZ charting in some tables when there's no entry?

Platinum or Gold certificates need verification from ARIA but only go back to 1997 see ARIA chart accreditations.

For ARIA Awards and nominations try =W&artist=Whitlams%20%20The ARIA Awards search history by artist.

Don't be tempted to use the band's own sites, those of its record/label pages or fansites (they're not independent).

On top of all of the above some copyediting and wikifying is also needed for B-class. e.g. The Lead paragraph should summarise the rest of the article without teasing the reader, some section headings seem over long, those with only two or three sentences in the section: combine them or expand. Some other prose editing for readability: don't forget your intended audience. e.g. why are they called The Whitlams who is this Gough Whitlam? (yeah I know but your casual reader may not).Shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 10:31, 28 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

== B-Class == Hi all, I have assessed this article to be B-Class and Low importance, I would like to say great work on the article, keep up the good work! However please find some more references, as currently it is a little unreferenced.
