Radio (LL Cool J album)
Self-nominator. I'm nominating this article for featured article because... Dan56 (talk) 15:58, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

Oppose


 * Format all references according to WP:CITE/ES.
 * Add a Production section that mentions how the album was created.
 * The lead should at least have two paragraphs.
 * References go after punctuation, so something like "hop[14]:" should be "hop:[14]", per WP:FOOTNOTE.

Oppose Needs alot of work. Major issues include citation formatting, unreliable sources, fair-use images in a list, and a poor lead. I suggest a peer review, asking for some help from WP:ALBUM, and/or nominating the article for Good Article status. As it is, it's far from FA-standards. Drewcifer (talk) 04:57, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

Oppose I see you've put a lot of work into this, but it's not ready yet. There are way too many fair-use images; the references need formatting (titles, publishers, dates, and access dates); there are quotation issues; and the prose needs a thorough copyedit. Drewcifer gives good suggestions above for pursuing a project review. Maralia (talk) 05:43, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

Snowball oppose You might want to model it on the articles here. Read as many of them as you can, and then you may have idea of how to begin. indopug (talk) 10:00, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

Comments my first suggestion would be to get your references into order. A number of your website references lack publisher and/or last access dates, which are the bare minimum needed for WP:V. Books need publisher, author, and page number on top of title. Link checker tool shows two dead links. Probably a number of your websites are unreliable sources.

Comment You might want to shoot for WP:GA first.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 01:46, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

Oppose - This wouldn't pass GA on my watch let alone FA. Spend a few weeks on it though and GA is a definate possibility. References need formatting correctly, im not familiar with the style used here. Try using the templates they are a real help. Im a great fan of this one — Realist 2  ( Come Speak To Me ) 05:01, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

Oppose - Still needs work. References need to be formatted. (Ibaranoff24 (talk) 06:26, 19 June 2008 (UTC))
