Tenacious D

 * previous FAC (18:16, 18 February 2008)

Self-nominator I have addressed all the issues in the previous FAC, as well as reorganizing the content and adding more cites. I have done a lot of research, looking at Nirvana, U2 and AC/DC in order to get this up to scratch. Thanks, Tenacious D Fan (talk) 15:49, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Comments
 * http://www.virtualfestivals.com/ looks pretty good, but I'd appreciate any information that mentions the site as reliable. I see the blurbs on their about us page, just looking for some independant coverage.
 * The site has some media coverage on it here at bottom of page. "The Times: "Virtual Festivals is very much the complete package. Its clean online-magazine feel makes for an easy-to-use portal that provides everything from a thriving interactive festival community as well as well-informed editorial."

 * some of your references to magazines and newspapers need to be formatted in italics to be consistent with the rest of your references.
 * What makes http://www.cinemablend.com/ a reliable site?

This article is currently listed at the LOCE for copyediting, still has MOS errors, and according to the list above, still uses non-reliable sources. Not sure if this one falls under April Fools? Sandy Georgia (Talk) 20:47, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Well yes, it's a bit raw. Can the nominator please arrange for assistance WRT to 1a and 2? Why not withdraw it and resubmit when it's properly done? Tony   (talk)  06:22, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

I would like to withdraw this. I'll resubmit after a peer review and sorting cites out. Tenacious D Fan (talk) 12:13, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
