The Wiggles[edit]
I've listed this article for peer review because I would like to see it eventually get to good article or even featured article status. The Wiggles have become important enough around the world to warrant this. I'd also like some input from editors who haven't (unlike me) spent a great deal of time on it and/or don't have an investment in it.
Thanks,

Changes per peer review[edit]
I have made changes as per the suggestions made by the automated peer review. Below are the specific changes I made:
- 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.
- Done. Tried to follow MOS as closely as possible.
- If there is not a free use image in the top right corner of the article, please try to find and include one.
- On August 1, I replaced the free image that was in the right corner of the article with an updated, non-free image with Sam Moran in it. The image was subsequently deleted, and on Sept. 29, it was removed from the article. On Oct. 16, I reinserted the original image because it was the only appropriate free use image. The solution, of course, is someone uploading a more recent image of The Wiggles on Wikimedia Commons. (Has someone attended a meet-and-greet with them after a concert?) At the current time, this is the best choice we have. Hopefully, the problem won't get in the way of GA status.
Per Wikipedia:Context and Wikipedia:Build the web, years with full dates should be linked; for example, link January 15, 2006.
- Done; for example, I linked the entire date of the date Greg left the group and the date of Paul Hester's death.
Per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (headings), headings generally do not start with articles ('the', 'a(n)'). For example, if there was a section called ==The Biography==, it should be changed to ==Biography==.
- Done. This was confusing because the heading in question was titled "The Wiggles videos." The article consistently refers to the group as "The Wiggles" (and not just "Wiggles"), so I changed the heading to "Videos/DVDs."
Per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (headings), headings generally should not repeat the title of the article. For example, if the article was Ferdinand Magellan, instead of using the heading ==Magellan's journey==, use ==Journey==.
- Done. Similiar issue as discussed above.
Please make the spelling of English words consistent with either American or British spelling, depending upon the subject of the article. Examples include: honor (A) (British: honour), honour (B) (American: honor), behavior (A) (British: behaviour), favorite (A) (British: favourite), recognize (A) (British: recognise), realize (A) (British: realise), traveled (A) (British: travelled), travelled (B) (American: traveled), program (A) (British: programme).
- Done, as best to my ability. It's possible that I missed some words, so someone with an outside perspective should look for more corrections.
The script has spotted the following contractions: couldn't, if these are outside of quotations, they should be expanded. 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][?]
- Done, but it could use additional eyes.
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.[?]
- Not yet, but working on it.

British spellings[edit]
As I stated above, I corrected to British spellings by eyeballing the article. I then cut and paste the article in Word and did a UK spell check and made additional changes. --Figureskatingfan 03:00, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
