Name

Red Hot Chili Peppers is too ambiguous. It does not have to mean a band. It also means red hot chili peppers (the vegetable). Coffsneeze 22:07, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

According to en, it does; I will add a disambig though.

Red Hot Chili Peppers means the band. Chilli Peppers or however you want to spell chilli, means the vegetable. Red Hot is just the describing part of them. Niandra 23:02, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

Requirements for very good articles

1. The article must be about a subject which belongs in Wikipedia. There is no use improving articles that do not belong here, and better fit another wiki, like Wikibooks, Wikispecies, Wiktionary, etc.

   Y: encyclopediac article about a notable band.

2. The article must be comprehensive. A comprehensive article is not missing any major facts and details.

   Y

3. The article must have a certain length. A minimum is 5 kilobytes, not including infoboxes, images, references, other websites, interwiki, and categories. There is no use in denoting very short articles as very good.

   Y

4. The article must have gone through a few revisions, possibly by different editors. No one writes perfect articles.

   Y

5. The article must be placed in the appropriate category. It must have at least one interwiki link.

   Y

6. The last few revisions should be minor changes (like spell-checking or link-fixing).

   Y

7. All important terms should be linked and there must be no red links left. Red links point to articles that do not exist yet. Usually the important word or phrase is only linked the first time it occurs.

   Y: I hope. This is sometimes a weakness for me so help is appreciated.

8. If there are any illustrations, they must be pertinent to the article. They must also be properly labelled.

   Y

9. There must be no templates pointing to the fact that the article needs improvement. These templates include {{complex}}, {{cleanup}}, {{stub}}, {{unreferenced}} and {{wikify}}. The article also should not need them.

   Y

10. Content that is from books, journal articles or other publications needs to be referenced. This can either be done with <ref>..</ref><references/> tags, or as a list of publications. For articles that have references or external links on the English Wikipedia, there must be at least one in the Simple English article as well.

Questions

would the editors who worked on this article help the article for Sum 41 here? It's a good article on English WP, and with help i could get it up to a Very good article here. LukeTheSpook (talk) 22:29, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

Just a question, but why was this article promoted to VGA status when there are statements in the introduction (the paragraphs before the first header) that need to be proven? Cheers, Razorflame 00:18, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

Another: is the sentence about how their songs are often about California in the introduction necessary? It looks silly.

Update: Unlimited Love & Dream Canteen

Looks like the article needs content for RHCP's new music. Happy to write new sections (and expand the one sentence Getaway section), but since it's a VGA I don't want to just cram them in there once I'm done. Anybody else want to help? Cheers 🤘🤘 - DovahFRD (talk) 01:19, 13 January 2023 (UTC)
