Talk:Why Should the Fire Die?

Short
This article is way too short and needs more than one citation/reference for a GA rating. egde 21:15, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

GA
This article is not even close to being a good article. It's missing chunks of information found in other albums. Look in the recordings section of WP:GA for examples.-- Wizardman 22:16, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

GA Re-nomination
After adding several new sections, I have renominated this article for GA. --Thamusemeantfan (talk) 00:38, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Here are some comments to improve the article. Lets see what will be the decisions of GA reviewers. --BritandBeyonce (talk) 07:38, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
 * The article is not broad.
 * There is no production history especially the recording process.
 * ✅ Done. --Thamusemeantfan (talk) 02:19, 7 February 2008 (UTC)


 * it does not speak of the general content of the album (e.g. lyrical content) or musical style.
 * Complete the infobox (with writers).
 * Writers? --Thamusemeantfan (talk) 06:00, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh sorry. Just forget the writer thing. --BritandBeyonce (talk) 10:37, 6 February 2008 (UTC)


 * A lot of professional reviews were in the infobox but the critical reception is very short for an album.
 * ✅ Done. I lengthened it somewhat significantly, but I will have to add more later. --Thamusemeantfan (talk) 02:24, 7 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Mention in the reception section the album’s chart performances.
 * ✅ Done. I put it in the lead. --Thamusemeantfan (talk) 07:24, 3 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Remove the “not certified” thing and unbold 1; its POV.
 * ✅ Done. --Thamusemeantfan (talk) 01:09, 29 January 2008 (UTC)


 * When a single is part of the quoted material, use single quotation marks.
 * ✅ Done. --Thamusemeantfan (talk) 00:47, 29 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Mention what were the album’s feedbacks from critics in the lead.
 * ✅ Done. --Thamusemeantfan (talk) 01:09, 29 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Redundant linking in the track listing area.
 * ✅ Done. --Thamusemeantfan (talk) 00:45, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

--BritandBeyonce (talk) 07:38, 27 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Take out/change "MTV (highly positive) link".--andreasegde (talk) 13:27, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
 * ✅ Done. --75.41.121.205 (talk) 18:44, 17 February 2008 (UTC)


 * The first paragraph of "Songs" needs less quotes. --andreasegde (talk) 13:33, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
 * ✅ Done. --Thamusemeantfan (talk) 21:54, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

"popular American proverb",
 * Sorry, but there are more problems here:
 * ✅ Done. --Thamusemeantfan (talk) 21:57, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

"frequently praised",
 * ✅ Done. --Thamusemeantfan (talk) 21:54, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

"seems to be firing a shot across the bow" (is this relevant?)
 * ✅ Done. --Thamusemeantfan (talk) 21:57, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

The quotes seem to be some kind of street-speak, and are POV. --andreasegde (talk) 13:33, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

GA on hold

 * "The album peaked at #17 on the Billboard 200" - Billboard goes in italics
 * ✅ Some magazines that were overlooked, now in italics. --Efe (talk) 09:39, 20 February 2008 (UTC)


 * So many Professional reviews in the infobox...IMO remove the ones without articles for a start, and even then be picky
 * ✅. --Thamusemeantfan (talk) 23:38, 20 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Quote in Conception and production needs a source. I also don't see how it's SO significant
 * ✅. --Thamusemeantfan (talk) 23:31, 20 February 2008 (UTC)


 * "...spent writing songs for Why Should the Fire Die?, many songs were written" - really doesn't read well...
 * ✅. --Thamusemeantfan (talk) 23:29, 20 February 2008 (UTC)


 * "Chris Thile reportedly used candles to light the studio and drank Jameson Irish Whiskey." - yeah, so what? Why?
 * ✅. --Thamusemeantfan (talk) 23:29, 20 February 2008 (UTC)


 * You don't need to quote so much; use prose more (especially the Rolling Stone quote which sort of answers the above)
 * ✅. --Thamusemeantfan (talk) 23:29, 20 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Seriously, with the JamBase quote, enough is enough...that's verging on copyvio stuff. Use prose
 * ✅. --Thamusemeantfan (talk) 23:29, 20 February 2008 (UTC)


 * ""rock energy level and some sonic manipulation, with" - sonic is a dab page, and the wiktionary link isn't necessary
 * ✅. --Thamusemeantfan (talk) 00:15, 21 February 2008 (UTC)


 * I don't think it relevant to discuss every.single.song.
 * "has been said to feature "irregular tunings"[22]" - need some punctuation under the ref
 * ✅. --Thamusemeantfan (talk) 00:12, 21 February 2008 (UTC)


 * "Why Should the Fire Die? received rave reviews from United States contemporary music critics." - this isn't worded well. You don't need to wlink the US either, everyone knows what that is...
 * ✅. --Thamusemeantfan (talk) 00:09, 21 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Did it chart overseas at all?
 * ✅. No, it didn't. --Thamusemeantfan (talk) 04:09, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, that's about it. Note on my talk page when done please. Cheers, dihydrogen monoxide (H20) 08:02, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Passed. dihydrogen monoxide (H20) 02:16, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
