Guns N' Roses
Previous reviews: 1

Myself and alot of other users have been working hard to improve the article from its previous state, mostly adding sources and rewording already written material. However, I am confused; what can be done now to the article? Any comments and constructive criticism are welcome. Kind regards, Sebi  &#91; talk &#93; 09:47, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Per Wikipedia:Context and Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dates), months and days of the week generally should not be linked. Years, decades, and centuries can be linked if they provide context for the article.[?]
 * ✅, see below. – sebi 07:12, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
 * If there is not a free use image in the top right corner of the article, please try to find and include one.[?]
 * There have been difficulties in locating a freely-licensed image that contains the current band lineup, so this is not done yet. – sebi 07:12, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Per Wikipedia:Context and Build the web, years with full dates should be linked; for example, link January 15, 2006.[?]
 * ✅ – sebi 07:12, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
 * As per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dates), dates shouldn't use th; for example, instead of using January 30th was a great day, use January 30 was a great day.[?]
 * ✅, can't find any, I'm sure they have been removed already. – sebi 07:12, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Per Manual of Style (headings), avoid using special characters (ex: &+{}[]) in headings.
 * Title contains an apostrophe, so I'll ignore this. – sebi 07:12, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Per WP:WIAFA, this article's table of contents (ToC) may be too long- consider shrinking it down by merging short sections or using a proper system of daughter pages as per Summary style.[?]
 * I'll make a proposal on the talk page later. – sebi 07:12, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Watch for redundancies that make the article too wordy instead of being crisp and concise. (You may wish to try Tony1's redundancy exercises.)
 * Vague terms of size often are unnecessary and redundant - “some”, “a variety/number/majority of”, “several”, “a few”, “many”, “any”, and “all”. For example, “ All pigs are pink, so we thought of a number of ways to turn them green.”
 * The script has spotted the following contractions: didn't, didn't, if these are outside of quotations, they should be expanded.
 * ✅ – sebi 07:06, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
 * As done in WP:FOOTNOTE, footnotes usually are located right after a punctuation mark (as recommended by the CMS, but not mandatory), such that there is no space in between. For example, the sun is larger than the moon [2]. is usually written as the sun is larger than the moon.[2][?]
 * ✅, none found (I remember fixing them previously). – sebi 07:12, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Please ensure that the article has gone through a thorough copyediting so that it exemplifies some of Wikipedia's best work. See also User:Tony1/How to satisfy Criterion 1a.[?]

 * Pretty much ✅, some of the sources (like an interview on a .txt file) have no dates, authors or publishers anywhere on them, but I'll hunt down some of those a little later. Thanks for the suggestion, though :) – sebi 07:00, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

I think it's overall a thorough, well done article, but strangely there seems to not be a specific description of musical style, tonality, composition and production techniques, etc. For comparison, look at the descriptions of musical techniques in the articles on Pink Floyd and Nine Inch Nails. I also wonder if you'd like to include some comments about the band's role in the "Sunset Strip scene/hair band genre" trends. VisitorTalk 06:11, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
