[edit] Failed GA

I am delisting this from the GA nominees for the following reasons:

  • This is not well written. It contains a number of grammar errors, and some awkward sentences. Song titles are not properly formatted (double quotes, no italics).
  • It's got a fair bit of journalistic prose, especially in the "Single Background" section. Words like "massively" and "outclassed" should not be used unless heavily supported.
  • Statements such as that their US tour was "greatly detested" and that Damon Albarn found the house "romantic" are not properly sourced.
  • It is not well organized; there are too many small sections for such a short article, and they're only a few sentences each. Some of them should be combined - the Lyrics section certainly doesn't need to be in two parts.
  • It should be further wikified.

[edit] Additional comments

Originally posted these on a talk page, but might as well paste them here for anyone working on the article:

  • I really think "massively" is just a bad word to use there; something more balanced, like "considerably" would be better.
  • saying someone was outclassed is an opinion. You could state neutrally that a number of sources saw it that way (and it's good that you've got a source to back it up), but using "outclassed" as if it were a fact is POV.
  • The whole first section is badly worded. It's opinionated, not well sourced, has an ungainly phrase "as a sense of Britishness", and needs apostrophes.
  • Increase in Stature and Critical Reception could probably be combined into a single, better-flowing section.
  • Why is black and white "classic"? At very least, this should be wikilinked to some article about film noir or something.
  • It would be worth giving more context for the pro-British/anti-Americanism on display here. Is this something Albarn/the band talk about in interviews? Is there a political context outside of the poor reception on the tour? is this a consistent theme in their work?
  • Reference 2 is blank.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:For tomorrow damon.jpg

Image:For tomorrow damon.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
