Good Article Review - On Hold

The current content is fine, with just a few things to rectify before being promoted to Good status.

• "Ghost also features a fifteen-minute song comprised mostly of electronic noises." The sentence is pretty irrelevant to the lead and should be removed.
• "Tweedy entered a rehab clinic shortly before the release of the album, delaying its release by two weeks. It also shortened its promotional tour." Somewhat listy. Could be "Tweedy entered rehab for <reason for entering>, delaying the album's release by two weeks; this would also shorten the ensuing tour."
• "A Ghost Is Born was the first Wilco album with multi-instrumentalist Mikael Jorgensen--he had previously worked as an engineer with the band on their collaboration with The Minus 5." The dashes should be converted to a semicolon.
• "It was the highest peak and best sales week ever for the band." Awkward and grammatically incorrect. Also, if it is true, it needs to be sourced.
• "Although they had been nominated before, they were Wilco's first Grammy Awards" Subject issues.
• "Wilco began touring before the album was scheduled to be released." could be more concise as "Wilco began touring in support of Ghost even before the album had been released."

This is all that's keeping the article from Good status. If the above outline is not addressed within 7 days, though, the article can be failed at any time, without any notice. NSR77 ^T_C 19:16, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

All fixed up. Teemu08 20:08, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

Great. Everything's just fine now. Passed GAN. NSR77 ^T_C 02:17, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

Alternate cover

The alternate cover (for the 2LP vinyl pressing) should be put in the infobox (somehow). I have no idea how to upload images, or anything like that, but if someone's got the skills and the time, it'd be appreciated. It looks like this, by the way. -M.Nelson (talk) 17:16, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

Wait a min.

It says this album sold 590,00 copies and went Gold and Yankee Hotel Foxtrot which happens to be the best selling Wilco album with 500,000 sales.

Is this correct? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.215.151.124 (talk) 02:17, 13 January 2011 (UTC)
