Keeping Addressed the concerns myself that are part of the Good article criteria. AIRcorn (talk) 08:53, 26 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This article has an outstanding copyedit tag that needs to be taken care of. It says that the "article may require copy editing for Language should be selected mix of American and UK spelling. Also, formatting of albums and songs not consistent.". Also the last paragraph of the Critical reception section is lacking a citation. AIRcorn (talk) 06:36, 13 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from Zac

• They are StarGate, not Stargate. In all of their credits, they are StarGate. I don't know why the article is titled the way it is.
• The paragraphs are too short, some should be combined.
• I can't find any evidence what-so-ever that a documentary about them exists. And how is that even "Formation and early works" anyway?
• Notable collaborations Aren't we not supposed to use the word "notable" in this way?
• Stargate produced "Black and Yellow" for rapper Wiz Khalifa in 2010 and the song become a great success, reaching No. 1 in the Billboard U.S Charts. They also produced "Letting Go" which was Sean Kingston's song featuring Nicki Minaj. It featured in the Billboard Top 40 in 2010 Unsourced, poor prose
• Stargate produced four No. 1 singles for Barbadian recording artist Rihanna including "Rude Boy", "Only Girl (In The World)", "What's My Name?" and "S&M". In addition,they produced three tracks from her 2012 album Talk That Talk. Unsourced, poor prose
• Top ten singles --> Why exactly is this included here again?

• Critical reception to their latest efforts, including the US No. 1 single "Rude Boy" and "Te Amo" by Rihanna and "Beautiful Monster" by Ne-Yo has been mainly positive, noting a departure from their signature sound of 2007 and 2008. This is further demonstrated in the 2010 Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 records "Firework" for Katy Perry, "Only Girl (In The World)" and "What´s My Name?" for Rihanna. In 2011, the production team were able to add two more No. 1 singles to their discography when Wiz Khalifa's song "Black and Yellow" and Rihanna's song "S&M" both topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Also unsourced, poor prose

• • Article titles are not part of the GA criteria, also see Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Trademarks it should be Stargate anyway. I don't know of a reason not to use notable, it is a way to keep the section in check. Not fussed either way about the top ten singles. AIRcorn (talk) 08:53, 26 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• As of today the article is no longer stable and can be delisted for that reason alone. Till 08:22, 13 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Incorrect. An article cannot be delisted for being not stable during GAR. Many GAs are unstable as people improve them from GA to FAC. Unstable articles do not lose GA status. --LauraHale (talk) 08:36, 13 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    • The article didn't initially go through a GAR process, hence why the article is unstable, because someone reverted my good-faith edit. Till 08:43, 13 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
      • If that was the case articles would be delistd evertime two editors disagreed. Just because the edit is done in good faith does not mean it can't be reverted. AIRcorn (talk) 08:46, 13 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
