replies: text: Erm, right. On the image issue, to quote the criteria page, specifically the fifth footnote, "a lack of images does not disqualify the article from GA status." As for the matter of it being 'way to short'- the criteria state only that the article "addresses the major aspects of the topic", and specifically says that "[the criteria] allows shorter articles, articles that do not necessarily outline every part of the topic, and broad overviews of large topics to be listed". What further issues are there to be addressed? If you think that there is any glaring omission from this article, I would appreciate it if you pointed it out. The article was heavily peer reviewed by authors experienced in the matter of heavy metal, and improved according to their suggestions. Finally, there are much shorter GAs out there. I understand that other crap exists is no valid argument, but I would personally say that Good Articles don't fall under the blanket of 'crap'. In any case, thanks for your comments. If you have any further advice, I'm all ears. J Milburn 17:21, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: GA

message: These are the issues that needs to be addressed before I can list this article as GA:
* The first problem is that the lead does not have any references/citations. WP:LEAD states that an article's lead section needs citations and references. I can see that all the sources are already available in the article's main body, you just need to cite them in the lead.
**  The consensus on this appears to be that citations are better in the body of the article, and as the lead is meant to be a summary, there should be nothing in it which is not already mentioned elsewhere in the article. To quote the relevent section, "While there is not a citation exception specific to leads, every effort should be made to place citations in the body of the article, and not in the Lead summary." The only things that needed to be cited are quotes and negative information in a BLP, neither of which apply here. J Milburn 12:05, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

message: Are they a heavy metal band? I thought Chrome was just a rock band.
:They call themselves "'80s rock 'n' roll", but if Motorhead are metal, I am pretty certain Chrome Division are. Plenty of reviewers call them heavy metal, I put that in the infobox because All Music Guide, generally a good source, calls them it. J Milburn 15:55, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I have added a citation to the genre, I am surprised I didn't add one in the first place. It was probably because AMG links are so flaming awkward. J Milburn 16:02, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
