# Talk:Better Out Than In

@Rich Farmbrough: Regarding [1]: A while back a new user added a bunch of unsourced content to complete the works of this 30-day show, much of it very brief with insignificant detail. I asked them to work on verifiability but got no response. I sort of felt bad and didn't want to outright remove it. I will try to brush this up, but is there anything else you were concerned about? I worked very hard to get this to GA and want to keep it that way :) — MusikAnimal talk 06:19, 23 April 2016 (UTC)

I'm sure it can be brought back to GA quality, but there were un-wiki things like "Indicative of people's greed there were soon men charging the people to view and take pictures of the artwork."  and general lack of NPOV, as well as some dubious phrasing.  Added to the weaker sourcing you mention, I found myself wondering if certain parts of the article were vandalism - as far as I could ascertain, they are not.
All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 20:11, 23 April 2016 (UTC).
I just stumbled upon this article and added a bunch of "citation needed" tags. This article does not currently meet Good article standards, I'm afraid... ---Another Believer (Talk) 17:42, 26 December 2017 (UTC)

@MusikAnimal: I see you are on vacation currently, but I'm curious if you plan to improve this article to meet GA standards. If not, I am going to submit a request for a community review as a step towards demotion. ---Another Believer (Talk) 21:28, 26 December 2017 (UTC)
@Another Believer: Yes I can address these issues when I return home next week. Thanks! — MusikAnimal talk 02:51, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
I've added some sources and removed all other unsourced content. It was all inserted by the same editor, who I reached out to directly about adding references and they never acted upon it. Many of those pieces weren't particularly notable in this series anyway, so I'm quite content putting the article closer to where it used to be, as unfortunately I don't have the time to do all the additional research to find sources. Let me know if you think anything else is below par. Best — MusikAnimal talk 19:36, 7 January 2018 (UTC)
