[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:AnotherYesterday.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:AnotherYesterday.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

[edit] Feeder article

I'll give it a wee once over when I'm free. Cheers for ther heads-up! Hyperspacey 15:18, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi.

I noticed a few issues with the article you may want to look at.

Overall, the sections are too short. Perhaps you could either lengthen them or combine them based on the band's change of musical styles?

Copyedit-"While have attracted", "of the charties", etc.

Standard intros are 3 paragraphs; the last paragraph is a bit short-maybe you could improve it? The :short mention of Jon Lee's suicide is a bit high up-try for chronological order.

Also, the listing of Feeder's influences in the intro needs references. The rest of the references, however, are properly and consistently formatted-one of the plusses of the article.

Influences section-bit short. Either try to find more or merge it with the rest of the article in some way.

Studio albums should be listed on the page with name, release date, and chart positions.

Lastly, delete fan sites from the external links (see WP:EL) and band logo from infobox-would fail fair use. Pop rock is really more of a conglomeration of genres; people would associate teen-pop acts with that.

If you need any more guidelines on how to work on these, I'd see Nirvana or The Smashing Pumpkins-both FA articles.

After you fix the issues I've pointed out, just leave another message on my talk page. I'd be happy to review it for GA!ErleGrey 00:46, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Feeder (band)

At first glance, it looks fine. If you've addressed the points made by the previous reviewer, I'd go ahead and put it up for nomination again. Stability is one of the criteria for GA status, but I wouldn't worry too much about that, seeing as there's such a backlog. -- Cielomobile ^{talk / contribs} 01:45, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
