Hi. I will be reviewing this article for GA status. On initial reading, the article looks very good. Please feel free to ask me any questions. &mdash; Mattisse (Talk) 16:02, 20 August 2008 (UTC)


 * First, I tried to fix the deprecated quotations. I think I screwed it up but I will have someone look at it and fix it. Please forgive me!


 * The article is overwikilinked per WP:CONTEXT. I will remove some of the obvious ones. Also, if you want, I can take out the autoformatted dates, as they are in the process of being deprecated (I believe). FAC does not encourage them.


 * I really think it is an excellent article in terms of appropriate lead, engaging text, and lots of information in a compact article. I will have to look for faults as they are not obvious.


 * "As with What's Going On, Let's Get It On was also intended to have a deeper meaning than of what was being used to portrayed it; in What's Going On's case, politics, and with the follow up, love, which would be used by Gaye as a metaphor for God's love." I think this sentence is somewhat awkward. Perhaps something like:


 * "As with What's Going On, Let's Get It On was also intended to have a deeper meaning than the general theme used to portrayed it; in the case of What's Going On, that was politics, and with the follow up album it was love, which would be used by Gaye as a metaphor for God's love."


 * I believe you have to settle on some consistency with numbers. WP:MOSNUM had no answer the last time I asked whether #1, Number One, number one etc should be used. It seems like in music articles #1 is typically used, whereas in sports No. 1 is used. Also, there is that rule about spelling out numbers under 10 and using numerical values for numbers over 10. But there are many exceptions depending on context, etc.


 * All the links check out. Youtube generally is not allowed as a reference do to copyright problems.


 * There is a problem with the references. They all have to be similarly formated, like use all citation, or use all cite xxx. Also they all need publishers.


 * I wonder if it would be helpful to break up some of the long text passages into paragraphs.

I dont get the problem with citation. All of them, except for the footnotes, have publishers. Dan56 (talk) 07:12, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

 * You must have a consistent standard for formatting references. See WP:Citation templates and scroll down to where the templates xxx are. (cite book xxx, cite web xxx etc. or the citation book etc.) Or go to Template:Cite book. WP:Footnote gives an over all explanation. (There is also the Harvard method, which you probably would not want to bother with and don't need.) The issue is to choose a format and be consistent in the article. Always provide the publisher. And when you have a page range e.g. pp.56-67, you must use the pp. The single p. is for a single page.

As an example, look at Frank Zappa where the editor uses the "Citation" method for references.
