Madchester[edit]

Looking good, almost FA quality imo, but before a run at FAC, it needs a peer review. ALKIVAR™ 14:38, 7 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No references, no fair use rationales, prose is average and needs a good copyedit. The lead doesn't provide a summary of the articles content. Information Factory records could be fleshed out (for instance it doesn't mention Tony Wilson, or the later fim about the scene 24 Hour Party People).--nixie 03:22, 9 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I wrote nearly all of what's there now. I'm happy that it's a decent article, but would have to say that there's some substantiation needed to it. A couple of points to make if anyone's thinking of editing the article. Firstly, when I first started revising the article there had been some confusion in it over the difference between Madchester and Factory records. For those not familiar with Madchester, the film 24 Hour Party People is about Factory Records. It's a great film, but it isn't (and doesn't hold itself out to be) in any sense about Madchester. Secondly, if anyone can add substantiation to the article, then that would be great, but please don't go through adding "Some people say that..." or such like. Ten times better to leave it alone. Glad to hear that my prose is "average", though - perfect for an encyclopedia. --Vjam 19:45, 10 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
