# Talk:Why Should the Fire Die?

This article is way too short and needs more than one citation/reference for a GA rating. egde 21:15, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

This article is not even close to being a good article. It's missing chunks of information found in other albums. Look in the recordings section of WP:GA for examples.--Wizardman 22:16, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

After adding several new sections, I have renominated this article for GA. --Thamusemeantfan (talk) 00:38, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Here are some comments to improve the article. Lets see what will be the decisions of GA reviewers. --BritandBeyonce (talk) 07:38, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

The article is not broad.
There is no production history especially the recording process.
Y Done. --Thamusemeantfan (talk) 02:19, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
it does not speak of the general content of the album (e.g. lyrical content) or musical style.
Complete the infobox (with writers).
Writers? --Thamusemeantfan (talk) 06:00, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
Oh sorry. Just forget the writer thing. --BritandBeyonce (talk) 10:37, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
A lot of professional reviews were in the infobox but the critical reception is very short for an album.
Y Done. I lengthened it somewhat significantly, but I will have to add more later. --Thamusemeantfan (talk) 02:24, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
Mention in the reception section the album’s chart performances.
Y Done. I put it in the lead. --Thamusemeantfan (talk) 07:24, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
Remove the “not certified” thing and unbold 1; its POV.
Y Done. --Thamusemeantfan (talk) 01:09, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
When a single is part of the quoted material, use single quotation marks.
Y Done. --Thamusemeantfan (talk) 00:47, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
Mention what were the album’s feedbacks from critics in the lead.
Y Done. --Thamusemeantfan (talk) 01:09, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
Redundant linking in the track listing area.

Take out/change "MTV (highly positive) link".--andreasegde (talk) 13:27, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

The first paragraph of "Songs" needs less quotes. --andreasegde (talk) 13:33, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
Y Done. --Thamusemeantfan (talk) 21:54, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
Sorry, but there are more problems here:
"popular American proverb",

Y Done. --Thamusemeantfan (talk) 21:57, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
"frequently praised", 

Y Done. --Thamusemeantfan (talk) 21:54, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
"seems to be firing a shot across the bow" (is this relevant?) 

Y Done. --Thamusemeantfan (talk) 21:57, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
The quotes seem to be some kind of street-speak, and are POV. --andreasegde (talk) 13:33, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

"The album peaked at #17 on the Billboard 200" - Billboard goes in italics
 Done Some magazines that were overlooked, now in italics. --Efe (talk) 09:39, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
So many Professional reviews in the infobox...IMO remove the ones without articles for a start, and even then be picky
 Done. --Thamusemeantfan (talk) 23:38, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
Quote in Conception and production needs a source. I also don't see how it's SO significant
 Done. --Thamusemeantfan (talk) 23:31, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
"...spent writing songs for Why Should the Fire Die?, many songs were written" - really doesn't read well...
 Done. --Thamusemeantfan (talk) 23:29, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
"Chris Thile reportedly used candles to light the studio and drank Jameson Irish Whiskey." - yeah, so what? Why?
 Done. --Thamusemeantfan (talk) 23:29, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
You don't need to quote so much; use prose more (especially the Rolling Stone quote which sort of answers the above)
 Done. --Thamusemeantfan (talk) 23:29, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
Seriously, with the JamBase quote, enough is enough...that's verging on copyvio stuff. Use prose
 Done. --Thamusemeantfan (talk) 23:29, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
""rock energy level and some sonic manipulation, with" - sonic is a dab page, and the wiktionary link isn't necessary
 Done. --Thamusemeantfan (talk) 00:15, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
I don't think it relevant to discuss every.single.song.
"has been said to feature "irregular tunings"[22]" - need some punctuation under the ref
 Done. --Thamusemeantfan (talk) 00:12, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
"Why Should the Fire Die? received rave reviews from United States contemporary music critics." - this isn't worded well. You don't need to wlink the US either, everyone knows what that is...
 Done. --Thamusemeantfan (talk) 00:09, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
Did it chart overseas at all?
 Done. No, it didn't. --Thamusemeantfan (talk) 04:09, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
Yeah, that's about it. Note on my talk page when done please. Cheers, dihydrogen monoxide (H20) 08:02, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
