I am nominating this featured article for review because there are whole sections not sourced: Track listing, all but 2 on Personnel are unsourced. There are unreliable sources: IMDb, and techdirt; and sources not formatted correctly. LADY LOTUS • TALK 11:35, 9 April 2015 (UTC)

Why were instructions not followed to post concerns to the article Talk page first? I have this page watchlisted and would help address any concerns. Recommend closing this as premature. --Laser brain (talk) 12:50, 9 April 2015 (UTC)

Coming to also remind Lady Lotus to review FAR instructions and give talk page notice well in advance; recommend closing and housekeeping delete. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 14:22, 9 April 2015 (UTC)

My mistake, I am not used to these FAR or FLRC or anything like that. I will take it to the talk page, thank you. LADY LOTUS • TALK 15:23, 9 April 2015 (UTC)

Placing this on hold to allow talk-page step to occur. Nikkimaria (talk) 15:25, 9 April 2015 (UTC)

@WP:FAR coordinators: , nothing happening here. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 20:03, 30 April 2015 (UTC)

Off hold. Nikkimaria (talk) 22:04, 30 April 2015 (UTC)

@Lady Lotus: re off hold now. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 02:13, 1 May 2015 (UTC)

As far as I know, Lady Lotus' concerns were addressed. So, I'm unsure under what pretext this FAR is continuing. --Laser brain (talk) 13:37, 1 May 2015 (UTC)

If so this should quickly get consensus to keep and will be closed as such. See Wikipedia_talk:Featured_article_review/Coordination#On_hold_2 for process discussion. Nikkimaria (talk) 13:46, 1 May 2015 (UTC)

That :) Laser brain, I don't know how to better write this citation ... maybe you have ideas ??

• Ghosts I-IV PDF booklet

Also, if Lady Lotus indicates her concerns are resolved, this can be a quick Keep without FARC. But there are still issues. I went to check on the funky punctuation in quotes, and found a dead link:

• Viglione contributed percussion to tracks 19 and 22. He stated that Reznor's instructions to him were to "build a drumkit. Piece together any stuff that you want to bang on; rent what you want to rent. Have fun and ... be creative—See where your mind and your ideas take you."

Perhaps you know if that blog is a reliable source? If so, we can look it up in archive.org, but we may want to take a closer look at everything else. Also, the External links checker in the toolbox indicates some other citation issues. SandyGeorgia (Talk)

References

I'll dive back in and take a look at those. If the blog was written by the developers of Rock Band via an interview with Reznor, it should be reliable. --Laser brain (talk) 13:58, 1 May 2015 (UTC)

Thanks! Could you look at the others that pop up as iffy under the External links checker? For example, one is a youtube ... SandyGeorgia (Talk) 14:00, 1 May 2015 (UTC)

Yep. I found stuff to do—there are several problems with currency of information in addition to the dead links, etc. Working on it now. --Laser brain (talk) 12:27, 2 May 2015 (UTC)

Status: I have fixed various issues with broken links and out-of-date information in the article, plus done some random editing. Hopefully everyone's concerns have been addressed. Lady Lotus, it would be nice to get an update from you regarding your satisfaction with the article's current state. --Laser brain (talk) 17:21, 5 May 2015 (UTC)

When Laser and Lady Lotus are satisfied, I'm good for Close without FARC. (I do worry though, over the long run, that we don't specify as of dates whenever we mention $$ amounts-- 20 years from now, those numbers will need inflation adjustment, and I don't think FAC and FAR do a very good job of staying on top of that.) SandyGeorgia (Talk) 17:25, 5 May 2015 (UTC)

Once the IMDb source is replaced, then I will be satisfied. LADY LOTUS • TALK 18:08, 5 May 2015 (UTC)

@Lady Lotus: Ah, missed that one. I moved that statement out of the lead (looks like it was a drive-by add-on) and changed the source to The Huffington Post. --Laser brain (talk) 18:29, 5 May 2015 (UTC)

If there is a way to replace that one too, I have always been told that Huffington Post isn't reliable because of them being "biased" or something. I've never been able to use them in FC, so if you could replace it with something else, THEN I'll be satisfied ;) LADY LOTUS • TALK 18:40, 5 May 2015 (UTC)

@Lady Lotus: I'm unconcerned—I've read over at RSN that HuffPost should be used with care on BLPs and controversial matters, but the tracks appearing in the film is completely uncontroversial and verifiable to anyone who simply watches the film. I added another source anyway. --Laser brain (talk) 18:53, 5 May 2015 (UTC)

Works for me LADY LOTUS • TALK 18:55, 5 May 2015 (UTC)

OK, I'm good ... Keep without FARC. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 19:02, 5 May 2015 (UTC)

Since the original nominator is gone, who is keeping this watchlisted, so we don't end up right back here next year? SandyGeorgia (Talk) 18:33, 5 May 2015 (UTC)

@SandyGeorgia: I'll adopt it. It shouldn't need anything more than routine maintenance until the unlikely event that Reznor releases another series of Ghosts. I'm subscribed to his email list so I'll know if that happens. --Laser brain (talk) 18:53, 5 May 2015 (UTC)

Cool, Bst, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 19:02, 5 May 2015 (UTC)
