Wikipedia:WikiProject Biography/Peer review/Matisyahu
- The article has recently undergone some fairly significant rewriting and improvement, I'd like some feedback as to other areas of the article that could be improved in the hopes of nominating it for good article status soon. Thanks for your input! -- Chabuk [ T • C ] 06:12, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
Nice, but it still needs work. This is my review:
- Inconsistency in the inline citations. They should always go straight after (without a gap) the puntuation mark.
- Avoid the external jumps. Turn these links into proper inline citations.
- "He counts Bob Marley, Phish, God Street Wine and Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach among his musical inspirations and gives credit to Rabbi Simon Jacobson's book Toward a Meaningful Life for the lyrical inspiration to Youth's title track. Matisyahu does not perform in concert on Friday nights in observance of the Jewish Sabbath." Both assessments need citing.
- Avoid the stubby often one-sentence paragraphs.
- Fix the {{fact}]s, and try to have at least one citation in each paragraph.
- Biography is a long section; you could divide it into sub-sections. Check also Structure of the article and WP:LAYOUT in general. After all what you call "Biography section" is not really biographic: you mix, early years (biographic), career (biographic as well), and stylistic, musical comments (artistic). I suggest that you divide these sections (biographic (early years, career) - artistic), and, then, you further develop them with additional infos and properly cite them.
- "Most of ... derived from hip-ho". The prose in this long paragraph looks to me choppy. Many short sentences, not well-connected, with a problematic prose and seamless jumps from one point to the other.
- "Matisyahu is married to Tahlia Miller, the couple have two sons." This sentence looks lost in the middle of a desert! Do something with it. Place it in the right context.
- "Origin of his name" is uncited.
- Alphabetize categories at the end of the article.--Yannismarou 19:38, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
