Talk:Cowboys Are Frequently, Secretly Fond of Each Other/GA1

GA Reassessment
The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the reassessment.''

I will be doing the GA Reassessment of this article as part of the GA Sweeps project.

I have some issues with this article:

The first line has the quote, "the famouse gay cowboy song" with a reference, but if that is a direct quote then the person who said it should be in the article. There's a second quote in the next sentence, also referenced but with no attribution. Per WP:CITE references should be placed after punctuation marks, and preferrably at the end of sentences. There are several spots were in-line citations appear in the middle of sentences. But my primary concern are the five dead links in the reference section, the digisoul link at the end of the Reception section is also dead. Finally the Stream link in the external links section is also dead. Considering all the dead links the article is basically unreferenced. The dead reference links include 2, 4, 14, 15, and 16. I am going to delist the article at this time. Please reference it better and address some of my concerns and renominate at WP:GAC. H1nkles (talk) 02:42, 7 June 2009 (UTC)


 * 2 is archived but I won't pay to access. 4 and 14 appear to change their content regularly without archive. 15 is fixed. Nothing is wrong with 16.
 * That still leaves the majority of reference links (13/16 or 26/39), not "basically unreferenced". Hyacinth (talk) 06:55, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Through use of the Wayback Machine only one link is dead, and it is now marked as such. Hyacinth (talk) 00:27, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Now no links are dead! Hyacinth (talk) 08:53, 10 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Per WP:CITEFOOT: "The citation should be added close to the material it supports, offering text-source integrity." Hyacinth (talk) 09:13, 10 June 2012 (UTC)
