Levels

1. I am a major contributor to the article. Look at the past revisions of this article if you don't believe me.

Not true, you did in fact expanded the article. But you are far from it

2. The live performances section and the composition section aren't in bullet point format, they are in prose format.

  • "Levels" is a progressive house[1] song produced in the key of C♯ minor and a tempo of 126 BPM
  • It has simple but recognizable synth hook[5] with background instruments that rise up and ...
I'm sorry but this is not prose, these are bullet points.

3. If you have any recommendations to improve the article, put them in the nomination page. Do not undo the nomination in the talk page ever!

I'm trying to help you, I even said what you could do what to improve

4. Wait for a consensus to be reached, then the first reviewer who responded will close it and decide if it should be promoted.

Fine, have fun with a failed article. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 22:39, 3 August 2020 (UTC)

Too soon...

Pls review Wikipedia:Good article nominations/Instructions.

United States

Hi, thanks for trying to help out by reviewing the GA nomination here, but I'm afraid something like that needs to be done by a more experienced editor. GA reviewers need to have substantial experience of Wikipedia's content policies, and you're still very new. This is particularly true for an article like this which is very high profile and which has been delisted before. I suggest you try to get some more general experience of Wikipedia before you try reviewing GA nominations. Hut 8.5 09:18, 4 September 2020 (UTC)

GAN for Albert Kesselring

G'day Lazman321, just a word to the wise about this article. I strongly suggest you look at the FAR and talk page archives for the reasons this article was downgraded and compare those comments with the article as it stands. Cheers, Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 22:27, 6 October 2020 (UTC)

Okay. I will keep that in mind. Thanks. Lazman321 (talk) 22:42, 6 October 2020 (UTC)
The issue of Kesselring is very complicated and, although Wikipedia stupidly allows anyone to review, this sort of article is likely beyond the competence your very limited editing would imply. Chris Troutman (talk) 15:18, 9 October 2020 (UTC)
@Peacemaker67: @Chris troutman: I would personally say that I do have some competence when it comes to Wikipedia, but then again, I have done only 250 edits while you guys have done thousands of edits. If you guys are willing to review the article, then I will speedy delete my review as it is and let you guys review the article. But if not, I will review the article and try to see if the problems raised in the review have been taken with enough consideration. I will let you guys decide. Lazman321 (talk) 16:12, 9 October 2020 (UTC)
It's not for me to say if you can or can't do the GA review. The article was removed from the FA list because some editors think Wikipedia needs to do more to denounce Nazis. I don't have access to the source material so I can't perform a proper review. A new editor with the proper academic background might be ok but I would otherwise caution against it. Chris Troutman (talk) 19:42, 9 October 2020 (UTC)
I'm not assuming you don't have the ability to do a proper review, I would just caution against doing the review if you don't have access to the books mentioned in the FAR. A proper review will require looking at the queries raised there and deciding if the article properly represents the sources and whether all the required sources are being used. There are some other issues of due/undue detail which also need deciding on, and an understanding of the sources is needed in order to do some of that as well, although some of it is a philosophical matter about what level of detail is appropriate in a Wikipedia article, on which there are a spectrum of views. I would add that even though I understand German at schoolboy level, I do not have access to all the sources, which is why I have not and will not review the article.

Proposed deletion of File:Avicii - Levels - MusicVideo.png

Notice

The file File:Avicii - Levels - MusicVideo.png has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

The businessman dancing in front of his colleagues and boss can be easily described in words and already well understood without this screenshot. Image insufficiently supported by sourced critical commentary. Article subject is the song, not the music video. May fail compliance with WP:NFCC#8.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Fixing information on Nirvana (Band)

The band members stated multiple times, both before and after the dissolution of the band, that Pat Smear was a permanent member of the band. He was meant to contribute his guitar parts to You Know You're Right, and he appeared in photoshoots. The band referred to him as, "Our newest member" and "Our new guitar player" when he was added. During Kurt's eulogy speech Krist says "behalf of me, Dave and Pat". Grohl even said, "What Pat added more than anything was an injection of life and happiness to those last months of Nirvana. We’d talked about getting a second guitar player: we talked about Steve Turner, we talked about Buzz Osbourne, but of course we didn’t want to break up Mudhoney or the Melvins. Kurt had been in Los Angeles and walked into the SST Superstore where Pat was working, and they hit it off. One of the first rehearsals, we were trying to figure out The Man Who Sold The World and the three of us just couldn’t do it. Pat said, "Actually, it goes like this." I thought: 'There’s a musician in the band now!’ Having Pat changed things dramatically". I believe he should be added.

I am not the person to bring this up to. If you want to bring this up, bring it up on the Nirvana talk page. The consensus if you look into the archives is that Pat was just a touring member. If there is an interview where one of the members of Nirvana says that Pat is a full-time member(not they wanted him to be a full-time member or any vagueness around it), or a reliable source that says that Pat is a full-time member, then this can be added along with the citation backing it up. And don't add him to the infobox. The consensus is that only three members be added, not four, and especially if you can't find sources backing up Pat being a full-time member. Also, you added other information that could not be verified by the accompanying source, that information being the violent incident and the replacing of names that Nirvana initially went through.
