I'll review this article shortly. Wizardman 04:03, 1 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Here are the issues I found:

"After Mark Hoppus graduated high school" graduated from high school (I actually had to double check to see if i was wrong on that, but the from addition is more grammatically correct)
While the background is interesting, I feel like parts of it border on tangential. The skate park injury is one example of stuff where I don't really see how it contributes to the article. Fine-tuning this section may be beneficial.
"The band's main influence on Buddha, according to DeLonge, was the Descendents. "I was trying to emulate that band. Really punchy guitars, fast, simple and formulaic nursery rhyme love songs," said DeLonge in 2012.[16]" DeLonge probably doesn't have to be noted twice; if he's noted right before the quote he'd be implied for the quote itself.
"which was a present from Hoppus' stepfather that he grabbed it on the way to Raynor's " that he grabbed on the...; also, who grabbed it? sounds like the stepfather did, not sure if that was the case.
"Blink-182 would allow Escalante's label, Kung Fu, re-release Buddha on compact disc." to re-release
Any follow-up on the legal situation, since what's in the article ends in 2001?
Given the subject matter the answer is probably a given, but why nothing on reception? I would imagine it was looked at after the band became big, and even a retroactive look at it by a reviewer or two would help the article out.

I'll put the article on hold and will pass when the issues are fixed. Wizardman 01:09, 6 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

All the fixes made to the article look good, so I will now pass the article as a GA. Wizardman 03:54, 7 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
