- Pretty thorough job. Nice to see a lot of references too. I have some problems with a few things, so here are some suggestions for improvement.
- References and links. First, although I corrected this, references should come after the fact being verified with the reference -- you put many of your references before the fact. Second, if you have a link to a non-Wikipedia site that you want to include, but it doesn't verify a fact you noted in your article, it is probably better to put the link itself in "External links". Some of your links to record companies fall into this category. You can name the company in the article and put its link below. The "CEO Chicago Sessions" and "CEO Moonjune" references still in the article may be this same kind of link. Also, the CEO Moonjune reference seems out of place.
- Some miscellaneous points. (1) The headings are too long. Don't start the one with "with". (2) There are too many facts included in parentheses. Rewrite these areas and remove parentheses if at all possible. Sometimes just setting off a phrase with a comma will do. (3) Paragraph 1: self-titled album? Just use the actual title. Do you mean "eponymously" -- but who needs a fifty-cent word. (4) The numerous sites bulleted under "References" should be under "External links". (5) The tone of the article in many places is too promotional. This is an encyclopedia, not a review site. Go back and look for words and phrases that are there simply to compliment the group and don't otherwise inform. Tkotc (talk) 18:03, 16 March 2011 (UTC)
Hi this is the first time I have done any Wiki stuff, so am writing about a local band here in Sheffield. Any tips or advice would be good.

All facts need reliable sources, such as newspapers, books, magazines. See WP:VRS and WP:FIRST.
Specific to this article, see WP:BAND. Chzz ► 14:16, 16 March 2011 (UTC)

- Excellent article! I've moved it live for you. One improvement would be to add a bit more of an explanation in for laymen in the first paragraph, as the article is pretty technical. All the best, --Physics is all gnomes (talk) 17:03, 18 March 2011 (UTC)

Hi Wiki-friends! I'm new here, and just looking for some feedback on the article I created. My main concerns are the length (short, I know), and neutrality. Thanks!

- The article is pretty good. The problem I see is that you have two classes of references/sources that need to be carefully segregated. First are those sources that are called "reliable sources" in Wikipedia Land: third party sources with no conflict of interest (nothing to be gained by saying good things about the book). Sources that are "reliable" you can use without hesitation in the body of your article. Others need to go in "External links" or the like. Amazon has a conflict of interest, so I think your first reference needs to go. Link to that "Amazon Best Books" stuff in the "Reviews" section. You have three "reliable source" type links so your article should be ok without it. Try to find a way to link the USA Today and Kirkus articles into the body of the article as references. The author's site is also not a "reliable source". Put the "Reviews" page from her site into the "Reviews" section. Tkotc (talk) 03:13, 17 March 2011 (UTC)
