Hey[edit]

Hey there Marc! I found your name in Iggy Azalea-related articles. I see you promoted some of her songs to good article, and i'm so happy as you started expanding the article about "Impossible is Nothing" it's one of my fav songs of her. Would you mind to expand the article of Maroon 5's latest single "This Summer's Gonna Hurt like a Motherfucker"? A catchy song with a hot music video <3 I wish that article was like this or this one <3 --CeleSTE 789 (talk) 15:00, 25 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hey CeleSTE 789 and welcome to Wikipedia :) I like that song too, but I'm quite preoccupied with Iggy's articles at the moment; I doubt I'd get around to that Maroon 5 song sorry! You should really give it a shot and expand it yourself though, if you have any queries about editing or Wikipedia policies or need some guidance feel free to ask me or an editor at Wikipedia:Teahouse/Questions. Using your Wikipedia:Sandbox is also very helpful for practicing. Cheers CoolMarc 15:11, 25 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Help requested on a song GAN[edit]

Hello Sturmvogel 66 First of all, thank you, but you may not know that the nominator of the said GA review has recently made it very clear that he views me as an inexperienced editor who has a lot to learn. CoolMarc 19:38, 12 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

GA review on "Photograph"[edit]

It's getting lengthy. Which you dreaded. But I somehow like it. It makes me think. And get involved. And aware again of MOS. BUT, should we prolong that particular discussion there on the GAN review page? --Efe (talk) 16:21, 7 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Efe It's getting lengthy indeed which is OK, you are addressing the concerns, and I as a nominator or reviewer always appreciate an in-detail, more refreshing review rather than an easy pass/quick fail. CoolMarc 17:26, 7 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Lol. I can't deal with unnecessary dramatics and off-topic fighting. As if we both don't have enough on our hands with the "Photograph" review. CoolMarc 13:44, 9 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I feel like it's on FAC. The article has a long way to be there, anyhow. And, I must say, I can't wait for the biographers to publish one or two or three for Sheeran! There's one, albeit unauthorized. But I need more offline sources. They give articles a robust take on FAC, only when used properly, of course. By the way, I'm having a copy of the BPI 2015 Music Market Yearbook probably by end of the month. So just in case you need help in the sourcing, I'm very much willing to help. --Efe (talk) 14:01, 9 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the heads-up. I generally struggle with finding print resources! CoolMarc 14:04, 9 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
So do I. Ed and Iggy are relatively new, so we'll probably wait for some more years before their biographers write anything. Going back to "Photograph", I'll re-check the sources. I think the remaining issue (based on the review page) is on the formatting. --Efe (talk) 14:07, 9 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
HI. It's been a while. Been quite busy and I may not be able (yet again) to log in until Sunday. I have responded to the remaining issues. Thank you. --Efe (talk) 15:40, 18 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Haha, it's good to see you editing more regularly again, your work has come along so nicely on Sheeran articles from what I've seen!

BlueMoonset I've had a look at the page and am not quite sure what the issue is? CoolMarc 13:12, 16 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Coolmarc, you have had five prior DYKs promoted to the main page, which means that you are no longer exempt from DYK's quid pro quo (QPQ) reviewing requirement. Basically, for each DYK nomination you make henceforth, including this one, you need to give a full review to another DYK nomination in order for your own nomination to be eligible for promotion to the main page. If you've never done a DYK review before, you'll want to look at the reviewing guide, and also the DYK rules and supplemental rules page (which generally gives further explanations and details on the rules). Please be sure that your review mentions what you checked (neutrality and close paraphrasing are the most common ones not listed, which is odd given their importance): there's a nice summary of the criteria in the template edit window. If you have any questions, I'll be happy to try to answer them. BlueMoonset (talk) 19:12, 16 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Please take the time to review a DYK nom. That is the only thing holding up your nomination of Impossible Is Nothing (Iggy Azalea song) from going onto the mainpage.4meter4 (talk) 06:08, 25 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Fifth Harmony "Down" // Credits & Personnel section[edit]

Hi! I updated the credits/personnel on "Down" (June 2nd) based on the actual credits from Epic, however those have not been published anywhere yet because the album has not been released. This was confirmed by Epic this morning via email. The Qobuz.com credits are incorrect & somewhat incomplete and I would like to fix the Wiki page before the wrong info is copied through out the internet. Epic can't do anything about it unfortunately because they didn't release any credits to begin with, and they're not sure where Qobuz even got that information. How can I verify this to prevent the personnel from being edited again?

Let me know. Thanks!

Redirects not being mentioned at the target article[edit]

Hi. I see you recently created two redirects for what is rumoured to be Ariana Grande's song, "R.E.M.". As far as I'm aware, it's still not officially confirmed as a song title at this point. Can you please in future make sure the redirects you create are at least mentioned by name at the article you're pointing them to? Otherwise, these can (and often are) nominated for speedy deletion or put up at WP:RFD if they are felt to be original research—which, arguably, they are in this case because it has not been said that it's a song (yet). Yes, it very well may turn out in a few days that Grande says it's a song, but we shouldn't jump the gun. In any case, they should be mentioned at the target article. Thanks. Ss112 22:01, 1 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Ss112. Thank you for your message. I do realize nothing has been released yet, but the song has been teased by Ariana on social media and the title appears on a tracklist in the "No Tears Left to Cry" video. Reputable sources like NME and Billboard have reported this, referring to it as a song. I redirected it to the main article as there is no album article at the moment and it made the most sense to redirect it there. CoolMarc 22:20, 1 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
NME says she's hinted at it being a song; nothing is confirmed. Billboard says much the same. They can't really say any more than what Grande has. I've seen the track list in the video and the posts about it elsewhere, but then by that same logic you could create redirects for the other titles listed in it ("God Is a Woman", "Successful" and so on)—however, I doubt these warrant mention at any of Grande's articles and would likely be removed as speculative, so I don't recommend doing it. At the very least, please insert a mention at the target article before making redirects. Like I said, it's to ensure your own redirects are not put up for deletion. You will frequently see those who comment at WP:RFD regularly tearing into editors who don't even make a bit of effort to make sure the redirects they make are sourced at where they point them. Ss112 22:28, 1 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Ss112: thanks for the advice. I doubt a mention of "R.E.M." at Grande's main article would be notable at this point. CoolMarc 22:34, 1 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Your edit summaries[edit]

Sorry Coolmarc, but I don't think edit summaries like this are going to be noticed by anybody who actually adds Monitor Latino charts. It's mostly IP addresses from what I see, and I don't see why they would care about your courtesy notices. They ignore what most editors say anyway. I know you're editing in good faith, but I'm just saying most people who add these charts will not be looking or see it there. Also, we can't force users to archive the charts they add anyway, so "must" is something you would have to be policing constantly, and I think you would burn out or get tired of doing it after a while. Ss112 10:13, 11 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I wasn't sure who added it previously, but I guess I'll try do it myself where I can haha. CoolMarc 10:20, 11 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Not a webzine or print source[edit]

It doesn't matter if what's listed in the website/work parameter is not a publication. It's not only publications that are italicised on Wikipedia, and even if that were the case, it's not a big issue. It technically fits the definition of a publication by a larger company, so it's italicised. If you really want to take issue with this, then you're going to have a lot of problems with what's listed in website/work parameters all across Wikipedia. It's just the way it goes. Ss112 07:53, 12 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Justin Timberlake not a singer-songwriter[edit]

His main article states that he is primarily a singer-songwriter, as do most of his other song articles that I've looked at, so I think we should be reflecting what that says. I'd wager that it's probably been discussed/debated before if it's still on his main article, so I think if you or another user has a concern with Timberlake being considered that (whatever your definition of "singer-songwriter" may be), it should probably be taken up at Talk:Justin Timberlake as that definition goes beyond this one article.

Hugh Mcintyre is not a self-published source. He has had his work published by a reliable source, Forbes, so that does not meet the definition of a WP:USERG source. Random people from the Internet cannot just establish a site on Forbes and upload their opinion. You will find most articles on Forbes are under the category (in the URL) of /sites/[contributor's name]. This is not something they just passed off themselves. Please stop removing his reviews (you've done it multiple times now) and be a bit more discerning about what you remove from music articles. Thank you. Ss112 08:31, 17 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Ss112. It may be acceptable if the content was authored by, and is credited to, credentialed members of the site's editorial staff. Forbes.com "contributors" are not Forbes editorial staff, but suppliers of user-generated content. Forbes contributors are listed as WP:PUS and have been disputed several times at WP:RSN, see Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard/Archive 214#Has anyone written up something referenceable on the problem with Forbes blogs?, Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard/Archive 159#Forbes/Forbes.com. Hugh McIntryre's articles have also been heavily criticised by the media and public before, see 12 3. While I don't want to get into another bickering with you; I really don't appreciate this disrespectful tone  Now please stop removing his reviews and be a bit more discerning about your removals from this plethora of pop articles you appear to be editing lately. CoolMarc 09:41, 17 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, because it seems you are just going through every song article you can and removing things. I don't see how it's "disrespectful" to ask you to do something you should already be doing—being discerning. Every editor should be. I'm asking you to be more so as you seem set on patrolling any recent popular song page for anything you deem to be a user-generated source or against WP:CHARTMATH. Some things are not so clear cut. Until there is a clear-cut consensus not to use somebody listed as a contributor to Forbes, we should not be acting as if there is. Forbes is also not listed at WP:ALBUMAVOID in any way. I don't believe he meets the criteria of a "user" who randomly signed up to supply Forbes with material. He has his own author page where articles he has written are hyperlinked. Per that very page, he is a freelance journalist who has had his work published by plenty of reliable sources. That's one of the criteria we look for when accepting people as critics or quoting them on Wikipedia. So Mcintyre declared Iggy Azalea "ran" hip hop and people criticised him. So what? Those are opinion pieces. You can find criticism of pieces by pretty much every major publication in existence. Does that mean we don't consider the New York Times a reliable source, for example? No, it doesn't. (Maybe yes if you're Donald Trump.) Also, at the very page you linked, the user Mark Miller quoted WP:NEWSORG: "Editorial commentary, analysis and opinion pieces, whether written by the editors of the publication (editorials) or outside authors (op-eds) are reliable primary sources for statements attributed to that editor or author, but are rarely reliable for statements of fact." Also, at the other page you linked, the user Masem said: "There's a few Forbes "contributors" that we at the VG project recognize as reasonably authoritative for their opinion when they post via Forbes, but that we avoid for facts because the pieces are not guaranteed to be reviewed and checked by an editor." We're not quoting him for facts in these instances, only his opinion. I believe that puts an end to concerns whether we can quote him in critical reception sections. Ss112 10:51, 17 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The bottom line is he is not from Forbes, he is a contributor for Forbes.com which has 1000s of contributors and are cited as WP:PUS. Forbes.com contributor articles are known for containing errors and lack of editorial oversight. I did not see any harm in removing a review by Forbes.com contributor as there were already many other reviews by much more reliable and reputable music critics already present in the "Accelerate" article. You are asking me to be discerning? It is a Wikipedia guidline to Be bold, if I see original research or poor grammar or a component chart added by some fan of the article's artist - I will be bold and remove it to better the encyclopedia. As I have previously asked you, comment on content, not the editor and your constant unwarranted criticisms of me as an editor is getting tiresome, especially when you have essentially been following me from place to place on Wikipedia to constantly single me out, confront me and look for anything to inhibit my edits. CoolMarc 11:46, 17 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
It doesn't matter, WP:NEWSORG says it's allowed. If you have a problem with Forbes as an overall source with contributors whose opinions are allowed here because they're published by a source we still consider reliable, please take it up at WP:RSN and determine an actual consensus we can use. I have not criticised you here, I've asked you to be discerning with what you remove. WP:BOLD doesn't just mean remove whatever you like without considering what it may be. If I were criticising you, I would not be doing so without reason. Also, dude, you evidently need to understand what watchlists are. I've created (usually as redirects) and contributed a lot to many of the articles you're editing, so most of them are on my watchlist. Most of my subsequent edits to the articles you've edited are in no way inhibiting you—by all means, please feel free to point out aside from your hasty removals (because it's not considered against WP:ALBUMAVOID and is in line with what WP:NEWSORG states we are allowed to include as opinions) that I've reverted how I've inhibited you. I have commented on content—that's what this whole section was originally about. Asking one editor not to remove content that is perfectly allowed per our guidelines to be there, and I will continue to undo instances where I feel that is the case. If you don't want to bicker with me, don't accuse me of following you around as if you're important to me. I really think that comes off as self-important. You aren't the first and you won't be the last editor to accuse me of following them. First and foremost, Coolmarc, you need to assume good faith. You've evidently taken offense to a simple request to be discerning, but I don't think you're acting in bad faith, so therefore, please don't accuse me of acting in bad faith as if I or another editor has nothing better to do with their time than follow you around. I will edit pages on my watchlist as I see fit, and it's everybody's right to do so as nobody, including you, owns them or has a claim over when/if another can edit them. Thank you. Ss112 12:18, 17 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
You aren't registering what I'm saying here... I don't have a problem with Forbes, I along with many editors at WP:RSN and Wikipedia's list of potentially unreliable sources have a problem with Forbes.com contributors. Hugh McIntyre does not work for Forbes and as I previously said why have a source like that when reviews by Billboard, Pitchfork, The Guardian etc are already included? You were being petty and if anything need to be discerning regarding what you revert and say. Saying that I just mean remove whatever you like without considering what it may be and your hasty, unjustified removals on my talk page and in your condescending edit summaries is criticizing me and its unwarranted because it's absolutely not true. I do not need your permission to be bold nor do I need your petty, exaggerated accusations all the time. Your watch list excuse is nonsense especially because if I'm not important to you then why is my talk page full of your messages, why don't I have to ping you and why do you conveniently happen to do a minor edit to or look for a problem with my edit, minutes later on every article I edit? There are more than enough diffs to prove this at an admin noticeboard so give it a rest. CoolMarc 12:59, 17 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Because some things you have done in your edits I disagree with and instead of writing summaries all the time, I've dropped you a line. It doesn't matter if he doesn't work for Forbes, for the last time, we can include his opinion in reception sections per WP:NEWSORG. I will not stop editing pages on my watchlist that you've recently edited. I don't care if you've edited them (or if another editor has), or that you take issue with what I do on them after you. That's not inhibiting what you've done most of the time, so if you want to cause unnecessary drama for yourself and maybe have a WP:BOOMERANG case, feel free to take it up at ANI. Some of your edits aren't perfect, don't pretend like they are, and don't act like you own articles you've recently edited. You don't, and don't threaten me, thank you. I also didn't say you needed my approval, yet another bad faith accusation. I asked you to be discerning and you've blown that way out of proportion and actually bickered with me, which you said you didn't want to do. Ss112 13:07, 17 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Here we go with the false accusations again. The way you are constantly on my neck and 2 minutes behind me on Wikipedia is discomforting enough for anyone to propose an interaction ban. Go pick another target or WP:DROPIT. CoolMarc 13:17, 17 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
What have I falsely accused you of? Also, any admin or those who've been subject to one will tell you: you do not want to go down the path of an WP:IBAN. You don't know how restrictive those are, including for the editor who asked for it. You may think it will stop somebody from editing after you or work to safeguard you, but it goes both ways and can easily lead to a block for you as well (I've talked to editors who've been subject to one). I don't have anything against you, Coolmarc, and you seem to think because I often edit after you (when I notice that it's been you) that it's because I have something against you. Not the case. You mostly do good work, because chart sections get out of hand for popular songs. There are some questionable sources that slip in. Only when I've said something about it have I actually had anything against what you've done, not you. Ss112 13:23, 17 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Ss112 asked me to look in on this. I think everybody needs to just take a deep breath and step back from the testiness, bearing in mind that we are all on the same team. Both of you obviously have an interest in editing some of the same articles. You should try, to the extent possible, to avoid stepping on each other's toes. If discussion about a given issue is needed, I would encourage doing it on the article talk page. This allows other interested editors to chime in. Please remember to assume good faith in your dealings with each other. Both of you are solid editors and a credit to the project. I have confidence in your ability to work out any differences in a manner that reflects that. Best regards... -Ad Orientem (talk) 13:30, 17 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

There has been no consensus to determine the Latvian chart a bad chart[edit]

IIRC, either you or another user started a discussion at Wikipedia talk:Record charts on the Latvian chart, the one located at the website pieci.lv and published by the national broadcaster Latvijas Radio 5, but there was no consensus. I don't go around adding the chart, but I don't agree with its removal from Havana (Camila Cabello song) or any article until there is consensus. I don't know if you were confused about it being the Latvian chart mentioned at WP:BADCHARTS, but that was a different Latvian chart entirely, one called "Latvijas rokziņu aģentūra" (there are logs proving this), so please don't remove it in future until there is consensus that it is a single-network chart and/or is listed at WP:BADCHARTS. It is just as notable as this Croatian chart you added to Mad Love (Mabel song), which by the same logic could be considered just as much of a single-network chart as it is also a radio chart published by a national broadcaster. Thanks. Ss112 14:26, 11 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Coolmarc,

Where's your source she lived in England except for 3 years in Sweden? Who decides what amount of time is required to call someone belonging to a country? Why is it an issue for you calling her Swedish when she undoubtedly is a Swedish citizen? That fact alone is contradicting your phrase "living in Sweden for 3 years doesn't make her Swedish" in an indisputable manner.

Read this English article which summons up pretty good her personal life without being offensive:

https://www.standard.co.uk/lifestyle/esmagazine/why-neneh-cherrys-daughter-mabel-mcvey-is-making-her-own-way-in-the-music-world-a3612131.html

I believe she moved to Stockholm at the age of 8. There's a lot of traces of her teen years in Swedish as well.

Goodbye[edit]

How can Goodbye be deleted? It charted in Canada and that passes notability.

@DarklyShadows: the song charting in Canada doesn't warrant it an article on Wikipedia. Please read WP:NSONGS regarding it appearing on chart: Note again that this indicates only that a song may be notable, not that it is notable.) The song has no individual coverage in the media, all the sources are from articles and reviews of the album. WP:NSONGS says Coverage of a song in the context of an album review does not establish notability. If the only coverage of a song occurs in the context of reviews of the album on which it appears, that material should be contained in the album article and an independent article about the song should not be created. CoolMarc 17:07, 28 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
User:Coolmarc - I have removed the Proposed Deletion tag. You may not have known that it should not be applied to a page twice. It was already removed once, by User:DarklyShadows. A Deletion Discussion is the next step that I would recommend, to allow the community to decide. Robert McClenon (talk) 21:25, 28 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Robert McClenon, I actually removed it, DarklyShadows did not. I removed it because I believe per WP:NSONGS the article shouldn't be deleted but redirected to the album article. What step do you suggest for this? CoolMarc 10:03, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
User:Coolmarc, User:DarklyShadows - Some editors think that AFD is not appropriate to a decision whether to redirect an article to a parent article, but I don't know of another way to resolve it (other than edit-warring, which is a bad idea). Since a redirect to a parent article is an alternative to deletion that is a side-door deletion, I think that a deletion discussion is the proper way to decide whether to redirect an article.

DarklyShadows, I'm sorry you feel this way. You should not take things personally and get too attached to articles you expand and edit. Wikipedia is frustrating at times for all of us, but this is how you learn to become a better editor. Nobody is out to get you, we are all just following guidelines on here such as WP:NSONGS in your situation. Cool Marc 11:37, 11 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to go ahead and remove the GA nomination on Lovely because I feel like you are going to fail it anyway. I was planning on editing Wikipedia full time after I finished school but it seems that all my work will be deleted by users like yourself because it is not "notable" and days of work will go down the drain. The same goes with GA nominations. Oh well, it's been a fun two years here. All the memories on this site will be nothing but a blur for me because of all the issues if editors. DarklyShadows (talk) 20:53, 11 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

DarklyShadows, Please familiarize yourself with Wikipedia:Good article nominations/Instructions
Withdrawing: To withdraw a nomination after the review has begun, let the reviewer know. The reviewer will then fail the nomination. You cannot remove the template after a review has been done. I have told you this before. I had no intention of failing which is why it was put on hold. Cool Marc 21:26, 11 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It would be like Goodbye all over again. You would say the article is shit and have it redirected to its parents album even though it charted. What a waste of time. DarklyShadows (talk) 21:57, 11 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Don't Start Now[edit]

Hello:

The copy edit you requested from the Guild of Copy Editors of the article Don't Start Now has been completed.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. The article is in great shape and I made only minor tweaks to improve it. Some FA reviewers do not like the "X said Y" format for Reception sections or long lists of reviews, in this case 16, I believe, so you may get some push back there. Just in case, you might want to work off-Wiki and select the most important reviews/reviewers and then summarise the others - i.e. "Reviewers used phrases such as a, b, c, and d to describe ...". and add the citations. You'll then have it ready if required.

Best of luck with the article moving forward.

Twofingered Typist, thanks so much for your help. The critical reception section was actually bigger than what it is at the moment and I cut it down and paraphrased where possible. I feel like the commentary included at the moment is all important. However, I respect your outside perspective and would not mind you trimming if you feel this will help! Cool Marc 19:56, 22 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Coolmarc: I agree. The quotes you've left each capture a different aspect of the album. I'm not suggesting you trim it now, I was just giving you a "heads up". I would wait to see what the FA reviewer's thoughts are. Twofingered Typist (talk) 20:19, 22 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for the heads-up! I'm going to see if I can improve it some more and then ask for a peer review and see how that goes! Cool Marc 16:43, 23 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Concerning your infobox edit[edit]

Excuse me, why exactly did you remove Britney Spears's name from the infobox regarding to songwriting credits of S&M Remix? It has been confirmed by Rolling Stone that she wrote the second verse on the remix. The verse literally wasn't on the original version of S&M. You're welcome to listen to both versions if you don't believe me. 1 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.132.79.9 (talk) 19:33, 25 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The Infobox and article is about the single version. Britney's writing credit is mentioned in the paragraph about the remix in the article body. Cool Marc 23:46, 25 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I would really appreciate your opinion on whether this article could be nominated for a GA in future? Or if it still needs to be worked on extensively. Thank you for your time.--Ashleyyoursmile (talk) 10:46, 25 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ashleyyoursmile, Hi there. From a glance there are MOS:NUMERAL issues in the chart performance section. I don't think Teen Vogue are reputable music critics. It's a teenage gossip magazine. Please see WP:ALBUMAVOID regarding the use of Forbes.com contributors and iTunes is a WP:SINGLEVENDOR so details about that chart should not appear in the article. Otherwise the article looks fine, coverage could be better. Did the band, producers, music video directors not give any interviews about how the song or video were made? Cool Marc 23:51, 25 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Coolmarc: Thank you for taking time to go through the page. About the coverage, there isn't much that I could find because the song served as a pre-release in lead-up to their album so BTS didn't promote it separately except for one performance at the James Cordon show. This interview is with one of the writers of the song but it barely covers anything about the process behind the song-writing. The band talked a bit about it on the Zach Sang show here. The press conference held for the album release addresses a question about why the art film was made, its originally in korean so here's a translation. One of the members co-wrote the track, this article shares about what it was to write the song. --Ashleyyoursmile (talk) 05:45, 26 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

GA[edit]

I at least want to make one Billie Eilish article GA. I have worked on Copycat (Billie Eilish song) and researched all the reliable articles I can find. Let me know if it is ready. DarklyShadows (talk) 21:42, 25 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

DarklyShadows, from a glance the coverage and prose is a long way from good article criteria. I would suggest taking time to read the criteria. PopCrush are an unreliable source per WP:ALBUMAVOID. Cool Marc 23:54, 25 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Can you give me an example for prose? DarklyShadows (talk) 00:06, 26 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

DarklyShadows, The first GA criteria is that an article must be Well written: the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct. From the lead I see grammar issues with "It served as the fourth single, released on July 14, 2017." "Musically an electropop track, with hip hop-influenced instrumentation, the song was heavily inspired by someone who kept on copying Eilish and what she did. Eilish's lyrics address how she is tried of someone copying everything she does." Needs a lot of work, spelling and incorrect word usage as well. Never use the term "most notably" that is WP:EDITORIALIZING. The tours did not promote the song they happened much much later after the single release. This is just from the lead section. I would suggest you to proof read your articles or ask someone at WP:GOCE to help you. The article needs more coverage though I'm sure you try research harder for more critic opinions, interviews from Eilish and her brother about the song and music video. Remember you can also use sources like podcasts, books, magazines, video interviews etc. Cool Marc 00:37, 26 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I understand the GA process now. I took a few days to read and study it. DarklyShadows (talk) 22:05, 31 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

DarklyShadows, Sorry but it doesn't look like you have based on the standard of those articles you nominated which are nothing more than start-class at this moment. Cool Marc 22:11, 31 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Tell me what I can do to improve it. I at least want one Billie Eilish article ga before I go DarklyShadows (talk) 22:12, 31 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

DarklyShadows, read the GA criteria again and my suggestions above they both apply to these articles you nominated. Cool Marc 22:14, 31 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. I have created this page for you, since you may have noticed it was a blacklisted title. You should promptly add your nomination to this page. -- zzuuzz (talk) 22:15, 31 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
