[edit] The Jackson 5

Partial self-nomination. Was originally nominated last November. All previous concerns have since been addressed, and the article and its related articles have beeen significantly improved since then. --FuriousFreddy 22:32, 20 August 2005 (UTC)

    1. The image Image:Jacksons-victory.jpg is of significantly higher resolution than needed. Fair use images should be as small as possible: for an album cover, my recommendation is no larger than 480 pixels in any dimension.
    2. The images Image:Jacksons-an-american-dream.jpg and Image:Jackson-5-cartoon.jpg are claimed under fair use, but do not have explanations for why their use is allowed under fair use. See Wikipedia:Image description page#Fair use rationale for an explanation of what needs to be included in the explanation, and Sunset Boulevard (film) and related image description pages for a particularly good example of using fair use images in an article.
    3. The image Image:Jackson-5-concert.jpg does not seem to illustrate any particular part of the article. Since it's claimed under fair use, it should probably be removed.

    • The images in question have been given rationle for their use in the article (including Image:Jackson5-concert) on their image description pages, and the resolutions of said images have been lowered correctly. --FuriousFreddy 14:48, 21 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Support. This is an excellent article, definitly worth FA status.--Richy 10:03, 21 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Support - I was worried about the bit about the elder brothers and the father being "said" to have slept with groupies while Michael watched etc, not being attributed to anyone. Just seems like a pretty extreme allegation to include without attribution. So have added links to the transcripts of the programs and cited that it was said by J. Randy Taraborrelli. Other than that, very nicely done. Rossrs 13:11, 21 August 2005 (UTC)
    • Thanks. I footnoted it to the show (they have transcripts of it online? Great.) --FuriousFreddy 14:48, 21 August 2005 (UTC)
      • They do. I never cease to be amazed at what's available. I just added the links after your footnote. I wish I'd seen the show now, it makes for pretty amazing reading! Rossrs 15:08, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

  • Comment: At one point I was planning to add a EasyTimeline here, but the coding isn't working for me. Anyone want to take a shot? I really think a timeline would be useful in this article. - Mgm|(talk) 09:09, August 22, 2005 (UTC)
