 * 1) Is it reasonably well written?
 * "exit the group over the following years" - over the following years? This is confusing at this point. Perhaps it would be better to say they both quit before the release of the band's next album.
 * Done.
 * "With the triptych of previous album complete" - specify the albums in brackets, and probably refer to it as 'Manson's triptych'. Perhaps consider fleshing this out further as people unfamiliar with Manson's work will have no idea what you're talking about.
 * Done.
 * "a 16-year-old fan who had been diagnosed with a terminal illness" - can you expand on how Manson made contact with this person? This is interesting.
 * Couldn't find many reliable sources on this, but managed to track down a poorly titled NME article. Done.
 * "John 5's (real name: John Lowery)" - this style of explaining the real name is odd and seems unnecessary. I also see no reason to explain Gacy's real name in brackets.
 * Removed both instances.
 * "the band's next studio album, 2007's Eat Me, Drink Me" - I think this would read better if you placed the year in brackets after the album title.
 * Done.
 * 1) Is it factually accurate and verifiable?
 * A. Has an appropriate reference section:
 * B. Citation to reliable sources where necessary:
 * C. No original research:
 * 1) Is it broad in its coverage?
 * A. Major aspects:
 * There's no indication of Manson's reaction to the Jones murder connection, even though said information appears in the sources cited.
 * I've added a quote to rectify this.
 * Why did Gacy quit? And why did he sue?
 * Hard to say what all that was about, really. Short answer = Gacy appears to have gone insane. I've expanded on that whole thing a bit more.
 * This source used in the article mentions that this is the second time Manson had the lowest selling No. 1 album of the year. That's probably worth mentioning.
 * Done.
 * B. Focused:
 * 1) Is it neutral?
 * Fair representation without bias:
 * 1) Is it stable?
 * No edit wars, etc:
 * 1) Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?
 * A. Images are tagged with their copyright status, and valid fair use rationales are provided for non-free content:
 * B. Images are provided if possible and are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions:
 * 1) Overall:
 * Pass or Fail: An enjoyable read. Will pass this as soon as minor issues are addressed. Incidentally I've been wondering for years why this album hasn't been certified gold in the US despite selling more than 500,000 copies. Any ideas as to why? I'm just curious.
