 * GA review (see here for criteria)


 * 1) It is reasonably well written.
 * a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
 * There are numerous grammar issues in the prose, some examples are given below. There are more - I will not list every single one. I suggest a third-party do a thorough copy edit of this. If you can't find anyone, you can try WP:GOCE/REQ.
 * "Korn (promoted with a ya as KoЯn)" - Is that meant to be "pronounced"?
 * Fixed
 * "The band would records at Indigo Ranch Studios" - The band would "record".
 * Fixed
 * "Stephen Thomas Erlewine of allmusic..." - Allmusic is spelt with a capital 'A'.
 * Fixed
 * Common words such as "loitering" should not be wikified.
 * Fixed
 * There are three sentences, almost one ofter the other, that contain "began playing". Rephrase these to eliminate the constant repetition.
 * Fixed
 * "The equipment Korn used is what gave the music its it..." - its it
 * Fixed
 * All music GA chart numbers are written alphabetically and not numerically. E.g. charted at number seventy-two (not 72).
 * Per WP:ORDINAL, it's unnecessary to spell out numbers greater than nine.
 * I am aware of what WP:MOS says, however, as I have already mentioned, all GAs that I have seen to do with music, it has been insisted that music charts be spelt out alphabetically. See Madonna (Madonna album) as an example, and there are many more if you look. I can't find the exact place where it says this must be like this, perhaps it is from a discussion at one of the music projects, but I have been told that they must be this way. Please change these or I will need to get an second opinion. - SMasters (talk) 06:35, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

 * 1) It is factually accurate and verifiable.
 * a (references): b (citations to reliable sources):  c (OR):
 * Article is properly referenced and has no WP:OR.
 * 1) It is broad in its coverage.
 * a (major aspects): b (focused):
 * Article covers all major aspects and is focused.
 * 1) It follows the neutral point of view policy.
 * Fair representation without bias:
 * Article complies to WP:NPOV.
 * 1) It is stable.
 * No edit wars, etc.:
 * Article is stable.
 * 1) It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
 * a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
 * Image tag checks out.
 * 1) Overall: There are numerous grammar and punctuation issues in the prose, which need to be rectified before the article can be passed. I will allow up to 7 days for these to be fixed. - SMasters (talk) 15:52, 22 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I've fixed everything you've asked, and I copyedited the page, and I think it looks good now. Crowz  RSA  02:30, 26 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks for all the work done on the article. I am now confident that it now meets all the requirements for a GA and I am happy to pass it. Well done. – SMasters (talk) 03:59, 27 March 2011 (UTC)
