Bohemian Rhapsody

Nominator(s): TopGearFreak 20:02, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

previous FAC

I'm nominating this article for FA status because it recently became a GA (which I also nominated) and now after a peer review, I think it's ready. I am open to comments which will help it grow. TopGearFreak 20:02, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

Oppose - the prose is very poor. I suggest withdrawing this and getting an uninvolved editor to copy-edit the whole article. Graham Colm ^Talk 20:42, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

Note: I see no indication that WP:FAC instructions were followed:

Nominators must be sufficiently familiar with the subject matter and sources to deal with objections during the FAC process. Nominators who are not significant contributors to the article should consult regular editors of the article prior to nomination.

Oppose on criterion 3

• File:QueenBohemianRhapsody Mama.ogg - This fair use rationale does not list a specific purpose of use. Why does the reader need to hear this particular clip?
• File:QueenBohemianRhapsodySolo.ogg - The purpose of use in this fair use rationale is too vague. Please describe what it is about the band's style specifically that is illustrated by this clip.
• File:Bohemian vid.jpg - The band members are already depicted in the album cover. This image thus violates WP:NFCC #3a - minimal usage, which states "Multiple items of non-free content are not used if one item can convey equivalent significant information."

These issues should be relatively easy to resolve. Awadewit (talk) 01:03, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
