Review commentary

 * Notified: User:BullWikiWinkle, User:Maxamegalon2000

I am nominating this featured article for review because large chunks are lacking in sources (1C): Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Many otters • One bat • One hammer) 20:15, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
 * The first three paragraphs of the "Music" section are unsourced, as is most of its "Music Videos" subsection.
 * "Reactions from original artists" also has unsourced OR.
 * "Notable television appearances" is also sorely lacking in sources, replete with a fact tag.
 * The discography list of Grammy awards should probably not have the dates pipe-linked, either.

Comment. Images need alt text as per WP:ALT. Eubulides (talk) 20:17, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Quick comment: Discog links are piped to the respective year's Grammy awards, as opposed to a date page. This would be appropriate "date" linking as such as it is. --M ASEM  (t) 20:22, 14 September 2009 (UTC)


 * File:Weirdalclassic.jpg: missing a fair use rationale.
 * File:Weird Al Yankovic.png: its parent file is missing permission. DrKiernan (talk) 15:14, 18 September 2009 (UTC)
 * I've fixed the first image with a new FUR. --M ASEM (t) 15:36, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

FARC commentary

 * Suggested FA criteria concern are citations, sources, alt text. Also note the recent change to WP:WIAFA (1c) requiring "high-quality" sources.  YellowMonkey  ( bananabucket '') 01:51, 28 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Delist as nominator. As I pointed out, large chunks of the article are undersourced or unsourced entirely. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Many otters • One bat • One hammer) 16:04, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
