Fuck the Facts 2.0[edit]

After this page got deleted, I began work on a new one and here it is. Thanks to user:Zblewski for his help with this. I also made articles for a few of FTF's albums. I think all of their albums and EPs should have articles. Some of the splits are more notable than others so I was thinking of making 1 article with all of the splits on it in detail. But time will tell...Ibanez Guy (talk) 17:05, 9 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Happy to help.-- Zblewski |talk 04:30, 16 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Some comments on referencing[edit]

Yo guys, great work on the article so far. The citations need work though; the links in the References section look self-published and unreliable, while the links in the Media and Interviews section look more like reliable sources. I recommend you read WP:RS to get an idea of what is acceptable as a source. The Good article criteria include the following:

2. Verifiable with no original research:

2(a) it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline; and

2(b) reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose)

2(c) it contains no original research

The article would fail a GA nomination in its current state. Good luck with bringing it up to standard, and feel free to ask if you have any questions. Mahalo, the skomorokh 14:35, 5 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

GA fail[edit]

I am failing this article because is fails #3 on the "quick-fail" criteria, as it still has a cleanup tag {{primarysources}}. Also, it lacks in-line citations. On top of that, it has far too many redlinks. Feel free to fix these problems and renominate this article! --pbroks13^talk? 20:53, 10 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oh well, it was worth a try. Regarding the red links, should most, if not all, just be converted to text? I see that red links encourage the creation of new articles, but I don't see most of these linked bands/record labels being notable. Even with that, I kind of find it awkward to find bands and record labels not linked to, even if they're not notable, but hey, I guess it's Wikipedia's standards. As for the in-line citations, that will be fixed soon enough, I hope; the tags were placed in the article after I nominated it. --GVOLTT ^{How's my editing?}\_{My contribs} 21:58, 10 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This article still contains original research. It's a really good article, very well-written and informative, but I don't think it stands a chance at GA until inline citations are provided for all the information. Aryder779 (talk) 16:38, 8 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

External Links[edit]

The sections which say "Media" and "Interviews" shouldn't be there. They should be used as references to the article instead if they aren't already. ScarTissueBloodBlister (talk) 01:21, 3 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
