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

I have done the GA Reassessment on this article as part of the GA Sweeps project.

This article has several problems with it that make keeping it a GA difficult. Here are the primary issues:
 * References.
 * There are six dead links in the references section: 3, 19, 33, 36, 39, and 41. These have to be repaired.
 * Three subsections in the History section have no in-line citations, that is a concern as well. I note a  template that has been on the article since July of 2008, also a concern.
 * Stub paragraphs. A stub paragraph is a one sentence paragraph.  I count at least 8 in this article.  These should be either expanded or combined with other paragraphs.
 * The "Sign of the Beefcarver" sub section is three sentences in two paragraphs, this should be expanded or combined with another sub section.
 * The Lead. Per WP:LEAD the lead is to be a summary of the entire article that encompasses all the subjects in the article.  There are things brought up in the article, such as the controversy with Jack White singing or not singing, that are not mentioned in the lead.
 * Prose. Sentences such as, "The album made it into several best-of-2003 lists,[15][16][17] as well as reaching the top 10 in the UK album chart, and another single "Dance Commander", which gave Electric Six its third Top 40 single in the UK." are poorly written.  This should be broken up into separate sentences since the current sentence has two distinct subjects.  A thorough copy edit should be done on the article to bring it up to Good quality.
 * Images. According to the GA Criteria the editors should endeavor to add an image wherever possible.  Most band articles have an image of the band, or cover art of the one of their records (with Fair Use rationale of course).  There are no images in this article and I think there are ways of getting an image or two.

Considering the myriad of issues that this article has I feel it is necessary to delist the article. Please review these issues and make fixes and then renominate at WP:GAC. H1nkles (talk) 04:56, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
