GA review (see here for criteria)

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose): b (MoS):

   The lead does not comply with WP:LEAD; it does not summarize the article, nor is the information in the lead anywhere else in the article. Under the discography, the dates should only be the years they released their work, not the day, month and year.

   In regards to the latter, do you mean the article should simply read "To Lose My Life (2008)" as opposed to the full date? --^{SteelersFanUK06} ReplyOnMine! 15:37, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

   Yes, just as it it seen here. DiverseMentality 17:20, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

    Done as required. --^{SteelersFanUK06} ReplyOnMine! 05:06, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

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

   Blogs, such as BlogSpot and WordPress, are not reliable sources. Under 'Name change', source ten doesn't cite that A&R executives were in attendance of their first gig. The last sentence of that section, "The full-length video for…" is not cited.

    Done A&R Source now sorted, video sourced on their own official website, removed all references to BlogSpot and WordPress. --^{SteelersFanUK06} ReplyOnMine! 05:06, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

   There doesn't seem to be any information when the band was named Fear of Flying, except that they had recorded songs under that name. Any chance on expanding the history before the name change? There also doesn't seem to be any information of the date they changed their name (a year alone would suffice).

   What other information are you suggesting should be entered? I have entered genre, gigs played, singles... --^{SteelersFanUK06} ReplyOnMine! 15:37, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

   Did they do anything notable as Fear of Flying? Concerts, EPs, singles, anything of the matter? Of course, I can't hold you down for it if this information doesn't exist; it's more of my wondering if anything like this can be found. DiverseMentality 17:23, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

   ←They played the inaugural Underage Festival (notable festival) as well as releasing two singles. They never had any EPs. All of this is already in --^{SteelersFanUK06} ReplyOnMine! 02:53, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

   Ahh, I see, thanks. DiverseMentality 08:20, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

    Done sufficient information provided about the band's history as Fear of Flying. --^{SteelersFanUK06} ReplyOnMine! 05:06, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

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:

   I am placing the article on hold for seven days to allow for the above concerns to be addressed. DiverseMentality 05:57, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

   All concerns have been addressed, I'm passing the article. Good work! DiverseMentality 21:03, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
