message: Music journalist Nick Kent described the album as "do it yourself, acid casualty doo-wop music."
Is there a citation available for this? Presumably he didn't say it when the album was released - he'd only have been 14 or 15 then. BTLizard 10:12, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: On reflection, I think it's probably from the big article he wrote about Brian Wilson in the NME in the mid-1970s; the phraseology would seem to indicate in that direction. A version of the piece later appeared in his book "The Dark Stuff", but I can't confirm because I haven't access to either version. BTLizard 11:13, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

message: There are several things in this article that seem to be just opinions, not facts. For example:
"Smiley Smile is an infamous album by The Beach Boys, issued in 1967. Released in the place of the much-touted Smile, and notoriously under-produced, the album was received with indifference and confusion upon its unveiling. However, Smiley Smile has managed to grow in stature over the years to become a cult favorite, in spite of its bizarre quality."
"the atmosphere is often perceived as eerie, disturbing or frightening, constrastive to earlier Beach Boys material which is most often experienced as warm and inviting."
This is an encyclopedia article, not a review. So I think those should be removed.

replies: text: I'd like to mention that I had this album at one time and the cover was completely different. It was a digital drawing of a smiling face (?) enlarged to the point that the individual square pixels were, eh, I don't know, a half an inch across? I acquired that record cover long ago and I suggest that it is the original cover. 173.174.85.204 (talk) 18:31, 16 June 2017 (UTC)

message: Have removed Glen Campbell, as he didn't play on any BB sessions post-PET SOUNDS. I'm assuming his inclusion was down to his claiming to have played on "Good Vibrations". He didn't: not listed on any AFM contracts.Andrew G. Doe (talk) 09:17, 7 June 2014 (UTC)

message: "Fall Breaks and Back to Winter" uses a similar bass line as that of "The Elements: Fire";"
I know this is what David Leaf wrote in his liner notes for the "Smiley Smile/Wild honey" twofer CD, but now that Brian Wilson's "Smile" has been released, it's apparent that "Fall Breaks and Back to Winter" uses a similar *vocal* line as that which was to be used in "The Elements: Fire".

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: A few things that should be fixed before any reviewer at FAC sees it, I imagine (it obviously didn't get too thorough a review for GA …)
* There are about 7 or 8 refs that don't carry a page number, even when other citations from the same source do.
* A few web citations don't include retrieval dates.
* A few of the refs that do show retrieval dates have them as dmy, whereas other dates are mdy.
* In the main text there are 4 types of dashes used: spaced ems, spaced ens, unspaced ems, and unspaced ens. It's either spaced ens or unspaced ems, according to the MoS, and only one type should be used throughout.
* The are some instances where MOS:LQ is not being followed, i.e. when quoted text doesn't amount to a full sentence.
I was going to add a couple more reviewer ratings, so I may well pick up the odd one of these as I go. JG66 (talk) 07:37, 2 June 2017 (UTC)

replies: text: There are two commented-out sections (Charts and Accolades) after the Personnel section with a line break between them. I've removed the line break. —Bruce1eetalk 21:12, 3 September 2017 (UTC)
