[edit] Storm (band) is currently rated stub-class.

I think there's a problem with that. This article used to be stub-class, but I have expanded it and given it a lot more information. Before I gave this article a makeover, it did not mention anything about the dispute of Kari Rueslåtten vs. Fenriz and Satyr. It didn't even mention that Kari was part of The 3rd and the Mortal. I have fixed that, and I don't think it is a stub anymore. I have also expanded this to slightly more than 4⅛ its size. I suggest this article should be re-ranked to at least start-class or maybe something higher. Thanks for reading this. I enjoyed improving this article. BTC 20:06, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

Ok, after a quick clean, I have upped it to start class. The issues that will need to be addressed before it can be considered B class are, in the following order-
  • The article currently cites only unreliable sources. Details from AMG, respected metal magazines (not just freewebs type ezines) or even Rockdetector would be better than the sources cited now- a self-published site, and a site that welcomes contributions from readers.
  • The article contains nothing about the band's formation, or the recording/reaction to their album. You've effectively got a third of the band's history.
  • Big long quotes are generally not considered encyclopedic, but I suspect you will have to remove them anyway unless you can find some more reliable sources.
Hope that helps- feel free to message WP:HMM or me on my talk page if you need any help. J Milburn (talk) 10:16, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

Okay, thanks for the input. Hopefully, I can help improve this article further. I kinda had a suspicion about putting the long quote from Satyr in. I might abridge that soon. Thanks again for the criticism. BTC 22:01, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
