Gorillaz[edit]

The article's been nominated for Good Article status a few times, and it's full of information - there aren't many band pages as detailed as this one, and all for a band that doesn't quite even exist! However, there are lots of conflicts of information and some copying from other sources. A peer review would benefit this article and allow it to reach Good (and perhaps eventually Featured) article status. Taylor 07:20, 13 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think the article's biggest problem is it's lack of sources. I also feel that certain sections are way too detailed. The Live performances section should probably be cut down (for any other band I would say it should be removed completely, but I see why live performances are notable for a fictional band). Much of the Related projects section can probably also be shortend and merged into the band history. Rise Of The Ogre for example could be covered with one sentence, with any further information going into its own article. And the whole Similarities with The Beatles section seems very very original researchy to me and should just be removed. Links might also need some tweaking per WP:EL. I guess I'll just go and try to clean up some of the article myself instead of just complaining here. Didn't have a close look at the writing, but from what I remember when I was last working on the article, that might also need some work. But first and foremost: References. --Fritz Saalfeld (Talk) 09:34, 13 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
There are a few points where the article is in second person ("you"). These should be cleaned up as much as possible. -- BillWeiss | Talk 16:34, 14 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
