GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):

   "The album originally received favourable reviews on release" - perhaps "upon release"

    Done --Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 12:06, 10 September 2012 (UTC)

   What is "International Times"?

    Done International Times (also known as I.T.) was a late 1960s British magazine. I've found a direct web link to the source and wikilinked to International Times so it should be more understandable. --Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 12:06, 10 September 2012 (UTC)

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):

   Ref 4 does not seem to be reliable

   This, along with reference 1, is citing claims from the band that the title "Ummagumma" is totally made up. I've had a look and cannot find any obviously reliable source that says this, and think this may have just have been made up and propagated between Wikipedia and various unreliable sources. I'll ask a couple of the Floyd experts such as Andy Mabbett to see if they have a reliable source, but if I don't hear a response in a day or two, I'll conclude this "made up" and remove it. --Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 12:06, 10 September 2012 (UTC)

    Done I have found a book source that clarifies this. --Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 14:05, 10 September 2012 (UTC)

   Ref 27 does not load

    Done It works for me but I don't think this is a reliable source, so I've removed it. --Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 12:06, 10 September 2012 (UTC)

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

5. It is stable.

   No edit wars, etc.:

6. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.

   a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

7. Overall: Hold--Kürbis (✔) 11:41, 10 September 2012 (UTC)

   Pass/Fail:

• Pass A very good article. Congrats!--Kürbis (✔) 13:22, 12 September 2012 (UTC)
