Tenacious D

previous FAC (18:16, 18 February 2008)

Check external links

Self-nominator I have addressed all the issues in the previous FAC, as well as reorganizing the content and adding more cites. I have done a lot of research, looking at Nirvana, U2 and AC/DC in order to get this up to scratch. Thanks, Tenacious D Fan (talk) 15:49, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

• Note: Please check links; one appears to be dead. ЭLСОВВОLД _talk 15:55, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, sorted. Tenacious D Fan (talk) 17:03, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Comments

• http://www.virtualfestivals.com/ looks pretty good, but I'd appreciate any information that mentions the site as reliable. I see the blurbs on their about us page, just looking for some independant coverage.

The site has some media coverage on it here at bottom of page. "The Times: "Virtual Festivals is very much the complete package. Its clean online-magazine feel makes for an easy-to-use portal that provides everything from a thriving interactive festival community as well as well-informed editorial."

• I don't see much on this site http://www.phase9.tv/ about themselves?

Point taken, removed unnecessary sentence.Tenacious D Fan (talk) 20:56, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

• Likewise http://www.livedaily.com/

I would argue yes. this shows why. A lot of interviews with big names, referenced in authoritative sources etc. Tenacious D Fan (talk) 21:12, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

• Is this http://www.breakingnews.ie/ a newspaper/radio station/tv station in Ireland? I'll admit that I'm not that up on Irish media.

Added published info. Thomas Crosbie Holdings Tenacious D Fan (talk) 21:06, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

• What makes this http://www.tenaciousjoes.com/tenaciousdalbum.html a reliable site? And it is lacking publisher information in its ref.
• some of your references to magazines and newspapers need to be formatted in italics to be consistent with the rest of your references.
• What makes http://www.cinemablend.com/ a reliable site?
• What makes http://www.aintitcool.com/?q=node/20176 a reliable site? I'll note that our own article says that it uses unverified information.
• http://us.imdb.com/news/sb/2006-11-27 (Current ref 42) is lacking publisher and last access date information. Also, is it really reliable coming off IMDb?
• http://www.chartstats.com/index.php is this reliable?

Good point. Changed to reliable source. Tenacious D Fan (talk) 21:06, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

• What makes http://www.readjunk.com/about a reliable site?
• http://www.cinemablend.com/celebrity/Black-Fears-Lucas-Lawsuit-8201.html (current ref 54) lacks publisher information
• Is http://www.bgnews.com/home/ a college newspaper?

Changed cite. Tenacious D Fan (talk) 21:10, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

• http://www.aeclectic.net/tarot/basics/devil.shtml is lacking publisher and last access date. Also, is this a reliable source? (I can't believe I'm saying that about a Tarot card site...)
• What makes http://www.joblo.com/ a reliable source?
• http://www.news.com/8301-10784_3-9722230-7.html (current ref 80) is lacking a publisher.
• http://tenaciousd.com/tour.html (current ref 81) is lacking publisher information
• http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1285/is_9_32/ai_92233487 was this originally published in Interview? It does need publisher information, though.
• http://www.194u.com/products.php?prodid=13233 is lacking publisher, etc. information. Also, is this a reliable source?
• Current ref 97 (Tenacious D Official news) Is lacking publisher information
• Current ref 98, the gollum YouTube video, is that out of copyright? We can't link to copyright violations.

All the links checked out for me with the link checking tool. Ealdgyth - Talk 20:11, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

This article is currently listed at the LOCE for copyediting, still has MOS errors, and according to the list above, still uses non-reliable sources. Not sure if this one falls under April Fools? SandyGeorgia (Talk) 20:47, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Well yes, it's a bit raw. Can the nominator please arrange for assistance WRT to 1a and 2? Why not withdraw it and resubmit when it's properly done? Tony (talk) 06:22, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

I would like to withdraw this. I'll resubmit after a peer review and sorting cites out. Tenacious D Fan (talk) 12:13, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
