Good Article Review
I'm having this go through a Good article review User:cowbellcity45
 * Hi cowbell. I think you were looking for Good article candidates.  At Good Article reviews we re-review old GA and disputed GAs to see if they still fit the criteria.  To get an article granted GA status, you should go to the candidates page.  I know the name is confusing, we're probably gonna change that soon.  So in the meantime I hope you don't mind me taking the Weezer listing off the review page.  Good luck though. Drewcifer 05:07, 31 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Done. / edg ☺ ★ 06:55, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks dude User: cowbellcity45 Aug 31, 2007 15:02

Singles
I removed it because it is just a copied and pasted from the Weezer article. I also moved the information about My evaline and Mykel and Carli to the discography pages.

Rating
I've assessed the article as B as it contains an impressive array of references. It has a slightly stubby feel in places, and, as someone identified, lacks a reception section. For future reference, GAC is not the place to request a rating: it's the place for good article candidates. One of the easiest ways to request a rating is to blank the rating field in the project templates. Good luck with it. The JPS talk to me  15:14, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Fixes needed: a couple of MOS problems. Album and magazine titles should be italicised. I'd merge the first two reception sections into one: usually best to avoid sections of only one paragraph. Consider, also, writing the most notable awards/accolades into prose. Good work, though. The JPS talk to me  07:49, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

GA passed
An excellent all round article, I've passed it. Here are some suggestions on moving towards FA. Anyways, congrats on the GA! Dihydrogen Monoxide (H2O) 07:35, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
 * The lead could do with refs - it's optional, but I advise it.
 * IGN professional review should use the review template (rather then (9.0/10)).
 * - Where's the review?
 * You don't really need a section on the band's history - save that for their article.
 * All URLs accessed on February 5, 2007 UTC - Add this to the accessdate parameter in cite web instead.
 * Album section - Put the refs over the numbers, it looks better.
 * I don't think you need charting for singles - save that for their articles.
 * Yay!  cowbellcity45  talk  05:05, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Automated peer review
The following suggestions were generated by a semi-automatic javascript program, and might not be applicable for the article in question. You may wish to browse through User:AndyZ/Suggestions for further ideas. Thanks, Dihydrogen Monoxide (H2O) 07:35, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Please expand the lead to conform with guidelines at Lead. The article should have an appropriate number of paragraphs as is shown on WP:LEAD, and should adequately summarize the article.[?]
 * Per Wikipedia:Context and Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dates), months and days of the week generally should not be linked. Years, decades, and centuries can be linked if they provide context for the article.[?]
 * Per Wikipedia:Context and Build the web, years with full dates should be linked; for example, link January 15, 2006.[?]
 * Per Manual of Style (headings), headings generally should not repeat the title of the article. For example, if the article was Ferdinand Magellan, instead of using the heading  ==Magellan's journey== , use  ==Journey== .[?]
 * As done in WP:FOOTNOTE, footnotes usually are located right after a punctuation mark (as recommended by the CMS, but not mandatory), such that there is no space in between. For example, the sun is larger than the moon [2]. is usually written as the sun is larger than the moon.[2][?]
 * Please ensure that the article has gone through a thorough copyediting so that it exemplifies some of Wikipedia's best work. See also User:Tony1/How to satisfy Criterion 1a.[?]

B side (Mykel and Carli)
The B sides information was removed. Has it been moved somewhere I'm not finding? I feel this is important information.B sides 14:11, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

Allmusic review
"The album was well received by critics on its release,[27] Allmusic gave the album 5 stars explaining..." The allmusic review was written in retrospect, not at the album release, so it doesn't belong in the initial reception section. Rm999 (talk) 03:14, 3 January 2009 (UTC)


 * And the Allmusic review also states that it wasn't universally well-regarded, which contradicts the statement "well received by critics on its release". The Christgau Consumer Guide Review rating is neutral with no prose, which is certainly not positive. -- J. Wong (talk) 20:41, 27 October 2011 (UTC)

Article detailing the creation of the cover art
Here's a really thorough write-up about the creation of the cover art. If someone is interested, this would be a good addition to the article. One note that might not be clear on the first read, is that the art was insipired by the cassette cover of the Beach Boy's Do it Again compilation, not the LP version, and not the song "Do It Again". ▫  Johnny Mr Nin ja  16:58, 8 May 2014 (UTC)
