Counting Crows[edit]

I would appreciate advice and comments on this article's present state and suggestions as to what it needs to make it better. I did some major editing and added a lot to the article, including all the references now present within it. I'm not really sure where to go from here though.

The images should be removed from the discography (See WP:MUSTARD#Discographies, Wikipedia:Non-free_content#Images, WP:FUC #3 and 8, and Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style_(lists_of_works)#Discographies). Also, anything notable and sourced in the trivia section should be moved to the appropriate areas of the article, and the rest removed. I also think the lead should be re-written. Instead of giving a summary of the article, it currently seems to be a place to "dump" information that didn't fit elsewhere (influences, origin of name). --Fritz Saalfeld (Talk) 13:27, 25 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thanks for your help. I've sorted the discography, and moved everything of interest in the trivia section either into the main body of the article, or into Adam Duritz, the singer. I'll work on the lead. --Tom s252 17:40, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Try to add some pictures, at least one for the infobox.
  • Expand the lead per WP:LEAD.
  • Check WP:MoS for proper linking of dates and years (principle: we link full dates not single years, unless it is years in music etc.)
  • Try not to have uncited paragraphs, and fix all the {fact}}s. In some parts the article looks heavily cited; in others under-cited. Have a good balance.
  • "Various songs from this tape would later resurface on the band's debut album August and Everything After; the songs contained on the tape featured different music and in some instances different lyrics." Try to avoid stubby one-sentence paragraphs like this one.
  • Get rid of "Trivia". It is recommended not to have trivia or listy sections. Incorporate useful information in your main text.
  • Format notes 17-19, using Template:cite web or Template:cite news.
  • Alphabetize categories at the end of the article.
  • You could add more about their musical influences, and about how critics have commented on their albums and on their music in general. I also think that this sentence "The band has covered artists such as Rod Stewart, Pure Prairie League, Rolling Stones, Grateful Dead, U2 and Oasis." is blur and, if you want to include it, it needs further analysis.--Yannismarou 12:14, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Many thanks for this.
    • There was a picture in the infobox, which was removed, I can only assume because it wasn't public domain. I've had difficulty finding a public domain replacement? Any tips?
    • I'll get to work on the rest of these, thanks again. --Tom s252 17:43, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
