Go through Vinoir's sources list and check we've used everything of worth Search for other sources Add an audio sample so people can hear what they sound like Polish the article and submit for GA - this one is pretty near GA standard now

[edit] Song samples

I think clips of "I Gotta CD" and "One Love Nation" would be good here.

[edit] Bank of Sources...

...to incorporate into the article:

• BBC "Peel Sessions" website - for "Angels 1 - 5", showing Jimmy and Cressida (Bowyer) working together. --Vinoir 00:15, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
• International DJ magazine: "Worst Cover Versions" "Disco 2000 - Uptight (KLF Communications, 1988): The KLF had some brilliant ideas, but forming their own girl group and covering this classic Stevie Wonder Motown stomper wasn’t one of them. The resulting lurid day-glo fusion of Stock, Aitken & Waterman pop, edit-heavy ’80s house and dodgy female rap was possibly one of the worst records in the history of the world." Seems to be a credible monthly UK mag. --Vinoir 01:11, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
• Trouser Press - calls Disco 2000 "the entity responsible for an entertaining 1989 45 of Stevie Wonder's "Uptight" that sounds like Bananarama on a rap tip". --Vinoir 01:11, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
• Disco 2000 out-bugging the bad guys - from Library of Mu, "One Love Nation" video details: "this video is an attempted assasination upon the bloated carcass of traditional rock and roll". --Vinoir 14:50, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
• Untitled NME gossip - from Library of Mu (text not available): Disco 2000 are shooting a video with the Black Widows motorcycle group and not Dykes on Bikes as Cressida tried to make out. --Vinoir 14:50, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
• Disco 2000 at The Bell, King's Cross - from Library of Mu, a good review despite the fact that Mo and Cress are too drunk to perform and only do two songs. --Vinoir 14:50, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wow!

Lovely work on the History section, Vinoir! This article had me stumped, but you've filled it in beautifully. --kingboyk 14:07, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks heartily mate. I was also quite concerned, but now I'm optimistic that we're getting there. When brief composition details are added, a couple of samples, and formats/track listings (either separate section or in discography), it should resemble a GA with any luck. --Vinoir 14:53, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

Might conceivably resemble an FA, you never know. If it's complete it doesn't have to resemble a novella (or a chapter of our forthcoming book, available in all bad bookshops and a few good ones :)) --kingboyk 15:03, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

I personally don't understand why the guidelines expect an FA to be >25kb. It's nonsense. The old adage applies about it not being the size that counts, if you ask me. Maybe we should attempt a book before someone else uses (for profit) this free wonderland of stuff we've created. :-) --Vinoir 15:23, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
