[edit] Pixies (band)
Self-nominating again; I feel the article has improved since it's last FAC nomination, and I addressed many of the issues raised (for example, I added a Musical Style section, noting their influences). CloudNine 16:14, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Haven't read the whole article yet, so I can't support or oppose yet, but the album covers each appear in the article twice. I'd recommend converting the table of albums at the bottom to look more like the table of singles, as fair use images in a "gallery" are typically disallowed by Wikipedia, even if the use could be justified under the law.Jay32183 21:14, 16 October 2006 (UTC)- Comment addressed Converted to a table format.

- Support Unless I missed something, I'm pretty sure this article meets the FA criteria. I also would like to request that the redlink in the singles table be made at least a stub. Jay32183 17:47, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
- Comment - All direct quotations need to be inline cited. LuciferMorgan 23:33, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
- It looks like the citations are there, but come before the quotation rather than after. Jay32183 17:55, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
- Support, as I think it is excellent. Good job! Tuf-Kat 08:23, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
- Support. I agree with Tuf-Kat, this is an excellent article. Trebor 10:53, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
- Support I've read through the article twice before today, and I must admit that it is superb. I must also admit that I hate to say how great the article is, because I absolutely despise the Pixies. They're my best friend's favorite band, and perhaps my worst favorite band. When "Bam Thwok" came out, you can't imagine how much I razzed my best friend over how terrible that song is (and he had no response, because he knew it was awful). I literally don't think I've ever heard a Pixies song I enjoyed, but with that said, the article is such a triumph that I can't not support it becoming an FA. -- Kicking222 15:06, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
- Support I don't like the Pixies that much, but this article is great. Well done, good and faithful
servants, er, contributors (Matthew 25:24). I'm not sure if it's accurate, since I'm not familiar with the Pixies, but it's [[|Accuracy and precision|more than precise]]. It's direct, and its length is due to its plethora of content, not wordiness. This deserves to be an FA, in my opinion. Gracenotes T § 18:42, 22 October 2006 (UTC) - Comment. As per Wikipedia:Music samples, it is preferable if you put the samples nest to text in boxes rather than grouping them in the end. CG 20:08, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
- Comment addressed - Well, the song samples are included in the prose (as in Pink Floyd) as well as in the end (I put samples at the end so it's easier to sample how the band progressed through their career). CloudNine 21:12, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
