message: Both of these songs can be found on youtube, as well as Era Vulgaris.
The new album is going to be awesome. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 131.181.251.66 (talk) 05:56, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The article mentions the distribution of "Era Vulgaris"/You Know What You Did, the streaming of "3's & 7's" and "Sick, Sick, Sick", as well as the leak of the latter, do you think the article would be improved if these references were changed?--Skomorokh 06:07, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

text: Read the article. It's mentioned. red157 10:08, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Sick Sick Sick, 3's and 7's 

message: A quick look at this page shows some innaccuracies - the UK release date is June 11 not 12 and Uncut gave the album 5, not 4 stars.

replies: text: Indeed, Metacritic gives the page and correct score. It's much easier to get a score wrong on a website than a magazine. So I believe it should be changed to 5 as well. red157 16:15, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Much easier to change an error on a website than one in a magazine though. --MartinUK (talk) 19:07, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: As true as that is, it remains a 5 as it was never stated by the magazine as incorrect. Red157 22:03, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Mistakes 

message: Is there any way of putting review of single into the infobox of single (in this case 3's and 7's)?  Broken soul 15:38, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Is there any way? 

message: After reviewing the article, I believe that it does not satisfy the criteria for a good article. Here are a few points that I noticed:
*The cquote template is grossly overused in this article. While it is a good tool to punctuate a point, it should never be used in the lead, and the critical reception quotes should just be incorporated into text.
*<S>After the blockquote in Pre-release promotion, the text gets very dull and listy. Four of the first five sentences following the quote start the exact same way.

*Too much of the article is in short one and two sentence paragraphs. Incorporate some of these small paragraphs into larger ones.
*"On April 9, the final tracklist was posted on the official Queens of the Stone Age website" needs a year included. It's not good to start the article with a list, either, I would recommend moving the track list to the end.
*Citations should be placed at the end of the sentence, not in the middle unless the sentence features two contrasting points.
*Be consistent with your citation method. I'd recommend using citeweb and citenews, although this is not necessary. Citations should all list the publisher (i.e. Rolling Stone instead of Rollingstone.com), publication dates (if listed on the source), retrieval date (even if the source has a publication date), author (if listed by the source). Also, settle on "last retrieved" or "retrieved" - don't mix them.
*Citation 5 is blank.
*Fill in a citation for that citation needed template.
*Nothing is mentioned about the commercial success of the album, which leads to the next point...
*Frankly, the album fails the stability part of WP:WIAGA. This album was released too recently to meet the criteria of a good article, and will have to be frequently updated in the upcoming week or two as new critical responses are released. Currently, next to nothing is known about the commercial reception of the album, which is a critical point of any encyclopedic entry of an album. You'll need to wait a little while to see how this album performs as compared to previous efforts.

thread_title: Failed GA nom

message: The article states that there have been 2 songs that originated from Desert Session which is incorrect. 
Here is a list of other songs originally recorded for a Desert Sessions Release:
Desert Sessions Volumes 3 & 4
   "Avon" => Queens of the Stoneage
   "Monster in the Parasol" => Rated R
Desert Sessions Volumes 5 & 6
   "You Think I Ain't Worth a Dollar, But I Feel Like a Millionaire" => Songs for the Deaf
Desert Sessions Volumes 7 & 8
   "Hanging Tree" => Songs for the Deaf
:You missed In my Head. red157 18:55, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  More than 2 songs from Desert Sessions 

message: I've removed the following addition to the article:
:As of July 11, 2007, the album has sold 94,577 copies in the US. reference = http://www.ukmix.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=46325 Billboard Top 200
Although it looks legit, good faith, plausible etc., the source is an online forum. At this point, the article is not far off a decent shot at GA, so all claims need to be reliably sourced or removed, per WP:CITE. Skomorokh incite 04:02, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Unreliably sourced and unsourced info 

message: The article is much better, but there are a few things that need to addressed before its given GA status:
*Citations 44 and 45 need to be properly formatted
*Billboard is a magazine and needs to be italicized whenever it appears, including in citations.
*Same with Rolling Stone
*Suicide Girls.com shouldn't be italicized in cite 21
*cite 23 needs a publisher.
*All Music Guide shouldn't be italicized in cite 43
*I would avoid saying "earning the band their lowest rating on Metacritic, 75 out of 100.", since not all of the band's albums are listed on that site.
*A few more negative reviews are needed. Try  or 
*A number of magazines in the infobox also need to be italicized.
Also, if you're looking to improve the article beyond GA status, I would recommend trimming out some of the album charts in the lists section. However, its fine for a GA. Teemu08 22:01, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Both additional negative reviews have now been added, and the Metacritic reference is restricted to the two other studio albums that have reviews. Are there any additional concerns to be addressed? Skomorokh incite 13:17, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Looks good to me. Pass. Teemu08 00:29, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Wayhey... Thanks. Is the Songs for the Deaf article at that paticular 'point' yet? Red157 07:00, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  GA on hold 

message: The tracklisting on my copy reads the 12th song as "The Fun Machine Took a S***! and Died". I know that Wikipedia isn't censored, but in this case the band have censored themselves. What should the tracklisting on this article say? Pasta of Muppets (talk) 10:38, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Wikipedia is not censored, and it aspires to accuracy, so the article should reflect the exact formatting the band uses, if possible. Do you have access to the physical album? If so, please feel free to correct any innaccurate details here, citing the liner notes. Mahalo, the skomorokh 12:01, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

text: No worries, that's good enough for us. Thanks for the correction! Skomorokh 17:38, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
