• ... that "Pink Turns to Blue" was named one of the 500 best songs since punk rock began?

• Length, hook is fine; article is new. The reference is this book, but the cite is to a third-party, I assume not-reliable website which has reprinted the list- I assume in violation of copyright. No page number given either. Not sure if this is OK or not. bridies (talk) 16:54, 18 July 2012 (UTC)
  • I got the site off acclaimed musi.com, which I am sure is quite reliable. It seems like a serious website, not some bloke lying to us. ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs)}~ 00:19, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

• I'd suggest expanding/clarifying the cite, but otherwise: all right then bridies (talk) 17:37, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

• References have issues. Thirdav does not own the copyright to the NYT piece so should not be linked (link the abstract from nytimes.com instead). The rocklistmusic.co.uk source has the same issues; it should be referenced directly to the book and not some possible copyvio. See WP:ELNO for more details. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 06:12, 29 July 2012 (UTC)

• Removed links. ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs)}~ 18:07, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

• That Pitchfork 500 ref needs more information (preferably page numbers as well, but since your immediate source doesn't have it you'll have trouble). Try using www.worldcat.org to find the pertinent information. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:03, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

• Done. ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs)}~ 23:12, 1 August 2012 (UTC)

• Alright, looks good now. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:26, 1 August 2012 (UTC)
