The Long and Winding Road
- Notified: DannyRogers800, The Keymaster, Josedm, WikiProject Music, WikiProject Pop music, WikiProject Songs, diff for talk page notification (2026-03-08)
Twenty years after its first FAR resulted in "kept", I initially asked others in the talk page a month ago whether it complies with WP:FACR. So far, until I was pinged minutes or hours ago, no responses have been made. After my brief re-review moments ago, I found the article almost well written and research, but then I wonder whether its citation formatting has been consistent all along. Also, a London Evening Standard interview is used, yet WP:THESTANDARD says that The Standard reliability is questionable... or no consensus on its reliability has been made so far.
Admittedly, this article is one of remaining Featured Articles first promoted in 2004 but not yet (re-)reviewed until now and listed on WP:URFA/2020A. I'm starting this 2nd FA review not just to update that list but also show this to those interested in this article. George Ho (talk) 04:20, 4 April 2026 (UTC)
- Fron what I gather, the citations need to be formatted alike, or consistently, and some of the sources warrant replacing. I'll start now. I'll try to add some other scholarly sources too. DannyRogers800 (talk) 12:09, 4 April 2026 (UTC)
- @DannyRogers800: Are you still interested in addressing concerns? Z1720 (talk) 16:30, 16 April 2026 (UTC)
- Yes, you're right. DannyRogers800 (talk) 15:27, 17 April 2026 (UTC)

- Could we get an update on status here? Nikkimaria (talk) 00:02, 2 May 2026 (UTC)
- I'm at the end of my college term and won't be able to do any work until at least the beginning of June. If I have delayed you too long—as indeed I have—you may delist it, but I don't think this article lies beyond repair. I've had no time whatsoever to do any work here, except to write short replies. If it's delisted, I'll try to restore it in the summer. DannyRogers800 (talk) 20:31, 11 May 2026 (UTC)
- No worries. One-month delay is no biggie, IMO. Well, I'm more preoccupied with other things IRL... and some other areas I wanna work on. Thanks for the update. George Ho (talk) 20:38, 11 May 2026 (UTC)
- You're welcome, and thank you for being merciful. DannyRogers800 (talk) 20:40, 11 May 2026 (UTC)

- @DannyRogers800: Are you in a position to look at this now? Nikkimaria (talk) 02:28, 7 June 2026 (UTC)
- I've started today, Nikkimaria. DannyRogers800 (talk) 00:57, 10 June 2026 (UTC)
- This is just a note to confirm that a lot of progress has been made on the article. I am looking forward to finishing it in the coming days. DannyRogers800 (talk) 17:51, 13 June 2026 (UTC)
- @Nikkimaria My work is done. DannyRogers800 (talk) 13:18, 3 July 2026 (UTC)
- George Ho, have your concerns been addressed? Nikkimaria (talk) 00:10, 4 July 2026 (UTC)
- Meets WP:FACR#2c (consistent citations). Also, the Evening Standard is no longer used. Furthermore, the use of free and non-free images complies with WP:FACR#3 (media). Also, well detailed, organised, and researched. Hoping my review isn't too brief. George Ho (talk) 01:16, 4 July 2026 (UTC)
