Herb Alpert[edit]

Despite some personal bias (this is my namesake, after all), this seems like a pretty solid article on the whole. It feels thorough but not overly long or tangential. Images are relevant and properly licensed. The discography is complete and goes over the significance of Alpert and the Tijuana Brass's major works. The external links section is well-rounded. About the only possible points of correction I see here are quite minor — perhaps cutting down on a few wikilinks, tightening up the latter two sections on Alpert's later life, and expanding with some references. I'd like some outside advice on problems that I may not be seeing here. Thanks. Tijuana BrassE@ 17:08, 12 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm. Let's get a couple easy ones out of the way with first. A biography infobox could be used here, but after playing around with it and looking at some other biographical featured articles, it seems like it could work just as well without it (and from my standpoint, that seemed more aesthetically pleasing). Regarding the space between numbers and measurements, I looked through the article, but I'm not sure what triggered the script to mention that — couldn't find anything. Comments on either of these? I'll be looking for some references and trying to figure out how to expand the lead-in section in the meantime. Tijuana Brass¡Épa! 22:49, 12 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oh- I think "72 million" triggered that (script was searching for abbreviation of mile, "mi", I'll fix that). Just to add onto your load :)
  • Please alphabetize the categories and interlanguage links.
  • The article has a few or too many inline external links, which hamper the readibility of the article. Please convert them to footnotes, preferably in the cite.php format recommended by WP:WIAFA.
