Advice
Hello Dan. Since you're kind of more involved in the FA process, can you offer some advice how to nominate articles for that award? Furthermore, an opinion whether this list meets the criteria and what to improve will be welcomed.--Вик Ретлхед (talk) 10:05, 26 December 2013 (UTC)
- I couldn't tell you any more than what's at WP:FAC; just to be as prepared as possible, I would recommend either nominating it for GA first or a peer review, which would make for less things to correct during the FA process. Articles nominated for FA often have had either/or. I'm not too familiar with list articles, but there is a page on featured list critera here. Dan56 (talk) 12:01, 26 December 2013 (UTC)
- Oh, thanks, that what's I've been looking for. And can you point some similar lists just to see what are the other requirements?--Вик Ретлхед (talk) 12:12, 26 December 2013 (UTC)
- This category page shows all featured list articles, some of which are award articles, including List of awards and nominations received by Scissor Sisters, Fiona Apple, and Alanis Morissette. Dan56 (talk) 20:51, 26 December 2013 (UTC)

RE: Revolver (Beatles album)
Hey, sorry about that revert. Didn't realize you already cleaned it up. I just noticed some vandalism that needed to be removed, so I hit "Restore this version", and no edit conflict screen came up. Sorry! Didn't mean it. K6ka (talk | contrib) 20:57, 1 January 2014 (UTC)
- No prob. :) Dan56 (talk) 20:58, 1 January 2014 (UTC)
What does accuracy mean? RE: Revolver
To me accuracy does not mean placing something within an echo chamber that simply parrots how good or bad X or Y is. Accuracy in wikipedia should aim to give a complete overview of a given subject, and not a bias and useless one. It is not intellectually healthy for the mind nor for wikipedia to hide criticism. The beatles are one of my favorite bands and as such they deserve no less. Please stop making edits without opening up to other users and speaking about why.
The encyclopedia of popular music was removed in exchange for a more critical review for multiple reasons: A. The article mentions the critical source and quotes it by name. B. The source is more exhaustive in nature than the prior one, as Dan Morrell of the NYT says, "Music magazine editors have few more tried-and-true formulas for boosting newsstand sales and web traffic than best-of lists...vast digests of gathered knowledge and opinion, usually the work of teams of editors, journalists and musicians, painstakingly assembled. But their collaborative efforts pale in comparison to the solo work of Piero Scaruffi."
What this means is that this professor has created an essential encyclopedia without any motivation for capital, e.g. it is a purely academic source. Purely academic sources should take precedent over commercial ones as they have no necessary agenda per se.
AS such, either stop reverting edits or provide better reasoning.
Cheers, And don't think I care about time spent doing X or Y, such statistics are fabulously pointless.
Liftmoduleinterface (talk) 16:08, 2 January 2014 (UTC)
- My dude, Scaruffi is self-published, and your flattering words about his book don't justify your changes. And you have yet to address why you've been reverting my edits in totality. Use the article's talk page, there are other editors participating in the discussion that may be interested in how you're defending your edits, which involve reverting my other improvements to the article.

Justice
Hey, since you'll probably be my only corespondent, I'll bring it here. The quote ... gave way to weirdly produced progressive metal on 1988's ...And Justice for All" is used as a source to support that the album "features progressive metal music". Unless the entire sentence is provided, this can be considered WP:SYNTHESIS. Moreover, without the entire article from Google Books, this information can't be verified, not to say it could be written out of context. The sentence I cited points to a direct link to the book, so there's no doubt it can be misinterpreted.--Вик Ретлхед (talk) 00:43, 4 January 2014 (UTC)
- By the way, it's useful to link Justice in the progressive metal article so that readers can easily find it.--Вик Ретлхед (talk) 00:50, 4 January 2014 (UTC)
- If you use "musically progressive", I don't think you can pipe link "progressive" to "progressive metal". Dan56 (talk) 00:51, 4 January 2014 (UTC)
- Also, there's no requirement for urls in a book citation. After all, it is citing a print source. And synthesis involves using two sources to make a conclusion neither make, like "It is white." + "It is warm." = "It is white and warm." Me re-writing "it gave way to weirdly produced progressive metal on..." as "features progressive metal music..." is the same as "...is musically progressive" rewritten as "musically progressive album". The source says there was progressive metal on the album, which doesn't mean the same thing as the album featured progressive metal? Dan56 (talk) 00:56, 4 January 2014 (UTC)
- Actually it says "... gave way to weirdly produced progressive metal". Those "..." can be "Justice is a hip-hop album that gave way to...", see my point? That's why I'm requiring the entire sentence. I can say "it features X genre" on page Y from the book, but that isn't verifiable.--Вик Ретлхед (talk) 09:13, 4 January 2014 (UTC)
