Niandra Lades and Usually Just a T-Shirt
Niandra Lades and Usually Just a T-Shirt is the obscure, avant-garde debut album by John Frusciante. He quietly released this during his leave from the Red Hot Chili Peppers. It is an article on the short-side, indeed. Considering the obscurity of the album, though, Niandra Lades and Usually Just a T-Shirt consults every available source, ranging from published books to online articles. It was promoted to GA status a little less than two months ago and since then Grim-Gym and I have put the finishing touches on it. Please feel free to point out any and all inconsistencies, problems or flaws you can find! NSR 77 T C  04:07, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Support - As a significant contributor and co-nominator. Grim (talk) 21:15, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Support. Appears to cover the topic thoroughly and is well written.  One concern though, the article doesn't appear to cover how the album's cover art was chosen. Cla68 (talk) 08:03, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
 * It's actually a picture of Frusciante, but since he was incredibly drugged out at the time he gave several (bogus) explanations. I'll search for any possibilities right now, though. NSR 77  T C  19:56, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Support - Very nicely written, especially for an album with such little information available for it. I also see that you used the two off line reviews I sent you, glad I could help!   xihix  (talk) 01:52, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Support - As an efficient Spanish translator of all articles related to RHCP, I think it deserves the star. Keep on like this!  Regards. Ale flashero (talk) 02:28, 25 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Note, please straighten out this source, the publisher is johnfrusciante.com, but I can't figure out what's going on there.
 * ^ "John Frusciante: Perso e Ritrovato" (Pdf). No. 570 (March 2004). Retrieved on August 20, 2007.
 * That's the title of the interview. It is published on Frusciante's website which has permission, but no further publishing information is given. NSR 77  T C  20:51, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Then johnfrusciante.com would be the publisher for your purposes; you had something else in the publisher parameter on the cite template, and you had two publisher fields. I attempted a correction.  Sandy Georgia  (Talk) 03:22, 26 January 2008 (UTC)


 * What is this and how do we find it?
 * VPRO Interview with John Frusciante (1994)
 * Could be found on the internet; I added a link to part one over at YouTube. NSR 77  T C  20:51, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Not optimal (is it a copyvio?); it might be preferable to spell out and link to what VPRO is and cite it accordingly. Sandy Georgia  (Talk) 03:22, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
 * The article actually talks about the interview because it is pretty important. It links VPRO there and explains what it is. NSR 77  T C  05:04, 26 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Lot of sourcing to johnfrusciante.com. This sentence has ce needs (pls review throughout):
 * Frusciante's use of heroin and crack cocaine became more extreme during the final stages of recording in late 1993; as he began viewing drugs the only way to "make sure you stay in touch with beauty instead of letting the ugliness of the world corrupt your soul."[1][11] Sandy Georgia  (Talk) 19:11, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I fixed the sentence. I'm not particularly sure if that's what you were asking, though, since your question was pretty ambiguous. If it's still bothering you let me know. NSR 77  T C  20:51, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Fixed. Sandy Georgia  (Talk) 03:22, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
