• A script has been used to generate a semi-automated review of the article for issues relating to grammar and house style; it can be found on the automated peer review page for July 2008.

This peer review discussion has been closed.
I've listed this article for peer review because I'm looking to take it to WP:FLC but feel it could do with copyediting first (not my strong point).

• You said you wanted to know what to work on before taking to FLC, so I looked at the sourcing and referencing with that in mind. I reviewed the article's sources as I would at FAC. (Bear in mind that FAC and FLC might have differing requirements about where to put citations, but the reliability of sourcing should stay the same between the two processes.)
  • You've mixed using the Template:Citation with the templates that start with Cite such as Template:Cite journal or Template:Cite news. They shouldn't be mixed per WP:CITE#Citation templates.
  • What makes http://www.chartstats.com/index.php a reliable source?
  • Likewise http://finnishcharts.com/index.asp? (The other countrycharts.com sites give their sources at the bottom, it appears)

Hope this helps. Please note that I don't watchlist Peer Reviews I've done. If you have a question about something, you'll have to drop a note on my talk page to get my attention. (My watchlist is already WAY too long, adding peer reviews would make things much worse.) 11:33, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

Ruhrfisch comments: Very briefly, here are some suggestions for improvement. If you want more comments, please ask here.

• A model article is useful for ideas and examples to follow. There are many examples at Wikipedia:Featured_lists#Music. I would pick a recent FL as the standards have recently become tighter for FLs. Meshuggah discography is one recent FL that may be a good model.
• Article needs more references, for example the lead is entirely without refs. Since this is a list, the lead needs refs (see models).
• Article needs a good copyedit - just one sentence from the lead Since The Smiths disbanded in 1987 he has released nine studio albums, two live album[s], eight compilation albums, 38 singles and six music video[s] on HMV, Sire Records, Parlophone, RCA Victor, Mercury Records, Sanctuary Records, EMI, Reprise Records, Rhino and Decca Records. The last part (... on HMV, Sire Records, ...) seems overly detailed for the lead, which is a summary - could it just be something like on ten different record labels?
• Any chance to write a stub for the one redlink "Now My Heart Is Full"? It is not required for FL< but it looks odd in an otherwise complete list.

Hope this helps. If my comments are useful, please consider peer reviewing an article, especially one at Wikipedia:Peer review/backlog (which is how I found this article). Yours, Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 15:57, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
