I've gotten this article (and all of the Discographies of FF 1-12) up to GA status, and I'm looking to start pushing them to FA. As such, I'm starting with Discography of Final Fantasy VII. Any help would be appreciated. --PresN (talk) 19:27, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I would suggest breaking up the concept and creation paragraph into two-three paragraphs for better readability. The Prince (talk) 17:33, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Let's speak honestly - This is a type of article that I do not believe has been seen at FAC recently, if ever. You have four issues to deal with to get to FA: You will have people say it should be a featured list, so be prepared mentally to fend that off. Also, make sure it is copyedited by you, so there are no obvious mistakes, make sure you are secure in your images, so they are minimal and well sourced and rationaled, and most important, check out your references, as I remember you mentioning that some of the music article sources are not considered reliable, which will obviously not fly at FA. Do that, and I think you won't have any problem. :) Judgesurreal777 (talk) 03:31, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, I know. Before the peer review, I went looking for FAs that were discographies- there were none. My argument for that is that any FL that is a "discography" article is nothing but tables. I don't have a one in this article. I have one image and one sound clip (I got bitten about that before), which I think I can justify, and will do so in the nomination to head off problems. My biggest problem is references. I've dropped ffmusic.info, which was a straight up fansite, if a great source of information. I've left RPGFan - on the VG source list; soundtrack central- user submitted, but edited by the site before publication (only used once, I'll drop if it need be) and Square Enix Music Online- same idea, but they also have staff reviews, which I'm going to try and move to exclusively, if possible. My plus side- this is music, not games. There's not much to verify- as long as the site has some sort of editorial policy, it's just someone's opinion, nothing that can be challenged. I hope. --PresN (talk) 05:49, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You said you wanted to know what to work on before taking to FAC, so I looked at the sourcing and referencing with that in mind. I reviewed the article's sources as I would at FAC.
- Current refs 1, 10, are missing publishers, last acces dates, and/or other bibliographical information that's required.
- What makes the following sources reliable?

Hope this helps. Please note that I don't watchlist Peer Reviews I've done. If you have a question about something, you'll have to drop a note on my talk page to get my attention. (My watchlist is already WAY too long, adding peer reviews would make things much worse.) 22:55, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

Giggy

The first para of the lead is rather repetitive, with both things being released in 1997 and 2004, etc.
"The original music received very positive reviews, with reviewers finding many of the tunes to be very memorable." - I doubt the second "very" is needed.
Is this incorrect?

Yeah, the prose generally isn't bad. Would have a chance at FAC, I think. —Giggy 08:16, 25 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
