I've listed this article for peer review because it has been completely reconstructed over the last week. I believe it is at least a B-class article, but I would like any advice on how to improve the page.

Thanks, Ars Sycro (talk) 07:38, 24 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ruhrfisch comments: Interesting article on a band I have never heard or heard of before. Here are some suggestions for improvement:

Watch POV and peacock language such as Dredg continued to push the boundaries of art and music with the 2002 release of El Cielo and... see WP:NPOV and WP:PEACOCK. If it is a quote, then put it in quotations and cite it please.
This needs a reference Around 1996, the band released two demos of original material. While not much is known of their first demo, their second demo was titled Conscious and shows little resemblance to their current sound. Who said this? Why is so little known about the first demo? This is just odd as wrtten. Done.
~~I would repeat their location in Early Years (1994-1998) and also give any background / history on the musicians. What other bands were they in before this - how did they know each other?~~ Done.
~~Be consistent - is it "dredg" or "Dredg" - both are used. I think there is a hat note for names that do not begin with a captial letter but are forced too by the Wiki naming convention~~ Done; switched to lowercase.
A model article is often helpful - several articles on albums are FA and may give ideas on style, organization, etc.
~~Etymology section is quite shirt - could it be combined with the Early years section?~~ Done.
Article could use a copyedit
There is no critical reception section - what have critics said about their albums and songs and performances?

Hope this helps, Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 03:50, 28 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your comments. I will strike them or add comments here as I tackle each issue.

With regards to the second note: Within the Dredg fanbase, the name of the second demo is accepted as "Conscious"; however, as I cannot find a suitable source, I will remove that information.

I have requested a review by a couple copy-editors mentioned on the review volunteers page. --Ars Sycro (talk) 04:45, 28 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
