I'll be reviewing this nomination.  Toa   Nidhiki  05  15:41, 10 June 2012 (UTC)


 * GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

As a whole this is a very solid article and I doubt there are any major issues. I have not conducted a prose or citation check at the moment, but I will do so soon. I do not expect there to be any significant issues and I think this has a very good shot at passing GA.
 * 1) It is reasonably well written.
 * a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
 * Album meets criteria 1b; I will make a comprehensive check of 1a later.
 * Just a few errors in 1a.
 * Split "It also earned attention with its music video by Stéphane Sednaoui, which featured Manson detaining, stripping and shaving a man from a first-person perspective, and earned much airplay on MTV and was nominated for Breakthrough Video at the 1996 MTV Video Music Awards." into two sentences. It is very long as is and would be better suited as two sentences.
 * Put a comma after AKAI samplers in the sentence "AKAI samplers and a small drum kit".
 * I'm not going to require the # symbols be changed to 'number' because it isn't required (to my knowledge) in GA criteria, but a future FA review would probably require it. Just a heads up there. :)
 * No need for the comma after 'Garbage' in the phrase "Upon both the release of Garbage, and the release of "Queer" as a single".
 * I don't see any other glaring errors although I would suggest a thorough copyedit before any FA nomination to find any errors I may have missed.


 * 1) It is factually accurate and verifiable.
 * a (references): b (citations to reliable sources):  c (OR):
 * Per WP:GACN, criteria 2a and 2c are met. I will do a comprehensive check of all citations to see if this passes 2b later.
 * I think the citations are all good and they follow a consistent date format, so 2b passes
 * 1) It is broad in its coverage.
 * a (major aspects): b (focused):
 * Both criteria are met; the article covers all major aspects of the song including recording, release, music video, and charts.
 * 1) It follows the neutral point of view policy.
 * Fair representation without bias:
 * Article is not a plug for the song and doesn't represent it as anything it isn't.
 * 1) It is stable.
 * No edit wars, etc.:
 * As there are no edit wars on this page criteria 5 is met.
 * 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):
 * All images have non-free media disclaimers. Music video images have solid reasoning as to why it is allowed.
 * 1) Overall:
 * Pass/Fail:
 * Looks like this all passes!  Toa   Nidhiki05  03:01, 13 June 2012 (UTC)
