Sky Blue Sky[edit]

previous FAC

Let's try this again. I've done what I can to make this recent release exhaustingly comprehensive and neutral. I addressed the specific concerns brought forward at the last FAC and tried to improve the overall prose of the article. I will promptly address any concerns that editors may have.

  • Support - Member of Wikipedia:WikiProject Alternative music. Prose problems from last FAC have been rectified and I feel it is a fine article. WesleyDodds 08:47, 29 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - Also a project member. This is a good, comprehensive, and balanced article on a great record. Well done. Ceoil 20:44, 29 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Some media outlets mentioned in the article are italicized, while others are not. This would need consistency - all italicized, or none. LuciferMorgan 21:07, 29 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • In accordance to the Manual of Style (WP:ITALICS), printed media such as magazines and news papers are italicized, while organizations with websites (PopMatters, Pitchfork, etc.) are not. Teemu08 00:05, 30 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Wish somebody told me that when I did my three FAs... nobody told me that.. LuciferMorgan 17:47, 30 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • "However, Brandon Kreitler of Dusted Magazine felt that the lyrics seem like an insular Tweedy confessional, while Doug Freeman of The Austin Chronicle described the collaborative songwriting as yielding "fatalistic ambivalence"." – "while" should only be used when emphasising that two events occur at the same time, or when emphasising contrast. It shouldn't be used as an additive link.
  • "The album received varied critical reception upon its release, with most outlets giving a positive review" - "with" shouldn't be used as an additive link. Also, the second part of the sentence almost contradicts the first.
  • Page ranges in the footnotes need en dashes rather than hyphens
  • Some reference titles need en dashes in place of hyphens
  • "peaking at number seven in Norway, number twenty-one in Belgium, number twenty-three in Australia and Ireland, number twenty-six in Sweden, number thirty-two in New Zealand, number thirty-six in Germany, and number thirty-nine in the United Kingdom" - IMO, all the numbers would be better as numerals.

I've addressed these comments. I will be on a short vacation until Tuesday, so don't think I'm ignoring any further comments until then. Teemu08 05:37, 5 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. Good job. Improved since the GA nom.--Esprit15d 16:15, 6 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
