Review commentary

FA from 2005, has some 1c issues throughout, lots of big chunks of unsourced content. Concerns about image usage, two fair use images are used that could be fair use on their respective articles about the albums themselves, but are not necessary in this particular article, especially when free use images are available – in addition, the free-use images could use review. Concerns about quality of sourcing: There was an entire book written about this group, mentioned in Further reading, but not used as a source. Instead, we see lots of cites to websites like MySpace and other personal websites. Lack of comprehensiveness, fails to include info on reception and appreciation, and also could use info on awards received over the years, etc. -- Cirt (talk) 01:45, 14 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Comment - note criterion three issues:
 * File:The Big Music Waterboys Single Cover.jpg - No attribution of the author/copyright holder (NFCC#10A); rationale is not detailed or specific ("use in [Waterboys article] discusses this single's signifigance [sic] being identified by its cover"). How does a photograph of the cover convey understanding of the band, or this album's significance thereto (NFCC#8)?
 * File:The Whole of the Moon The Waterboys 19 sec.ogg - 183 kbps is not low resolution (NFCC#3B).
 * File:The Raggle Taggle Gypsy The Waterboys 13 sec.ogg - 149 kpbs is not low resolution.
 * File:Richard Naiff in Antwerp 2003 1.JPG - The OTRS ticket releases this under GFDL only. CC-by-SA license is inappropriate.
 * File:The Whole Of The Moon Waterboys Album Cover.jpg - "the article The Waterboys provides critical commentary on the album cover and discusses its imagery in relation to quotes used in the article" Where is this commentary?  If it's there, why is this cover alone at the bottom of the article?  No attribution of the author/copyright holder.  Эlcobbola  talk 18:05, 26 July 2010 (UTC)
