Eric Clapton
This article is very well writen, (never mind about the cites), and everything is in the right spot. Dennis Kussinich 08 23:55, 3 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Object Suggest a peer review first. There are several problems with the sections: see WP:TRIV, WP:GTL, and WP:MSH (caps, articles). There are several [citation needed] tags all over the article, a couple of external link jumps to be converted to refs, and most of the refs are hard to read due to the excessive blue linking (try using the  and   parameters of Web cite to resolve this). Several images fail WP:FUC, including Image:Clapton is God Graffiti.jpg and Image:Claptonstrat.jpg. AZ t 01:10, 4 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Object. Mostly uncited, contains a trivia section, sections should be reordered to WP:GTL, reference formatting is incomplete.  Sandy Georgia  (Talk) 04:27, 4 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Oppose Whole sections are unreferenced, contains a trivia section, and needs some stylistic fixes. ← A NAS  Talk? 13:06, 4 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Object. Uncited, listy, trivia sections.--Yannismarou 15:14, 4 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Object Severe lack of citations. Needs a trivia-ectomy. Anger22 (Talk 2 22) 19:12, 4 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Object Needs some major referencing. Hello32020 21:27, 4 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Object. One of the few citations in the text actually refutes the claim it is supposed to be supporting (that there was a "Clapton is God" graffiti craze). -- Qarnos 07:38, 5 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Object. The article is basically uncited and has a long, listy trivia section. -- Underneath-it-All 20:22, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
 * STRONG OBJECT. Too much trivia, not enough referencing. Writing not compelling or brilliant. &mdash;ExplorerCDT 10:00, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
