Reviewer: Hahc21 (talk · contribs) 16:31, 19 May 2012 (UTC) Hi again! Second time i review one of your articles. --Hahc21 (talk) 16:31, 19 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Overview[edit]

Well, as every article you nominate, good prose, order and and good structure are always present. I've already read the article about two days ago and, as the other two i'm reviewing are on hold, i'll work on this in the meantime.

Round 1[edit]

Lead: Good.

Writing and inspiration:

"Instruments for the song were provided by all three composers".

This statement says that instruments (musical devices) were provided by the composers.
It might say that the three composers provided instrumentation?

- It's been rewritten. - (CK)Lakeshade - talk2me - 17:34, 19 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Composition: Good.

Live performances and cover:

"Morris' character, Brittany S. Pierce, covered the song in the episode, performing a choreographed dance routine to the song."

I'm confident that this phrase have a redundancy, but i don't know.

- Slightly rephrased. This should fix the problem. - (CK)Lakeshade - talk2me - 17:34, 19 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

--Hahc21 (talk) 16:31, 19 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Everything has been addressed. Thanks for doing the review. - (CK)Lakeshade - talk2me - 17:34, 19 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ok. I see no other issues on it. Should i give the verdict by now? Or i wait until Till I Go Home (talk · contribs) to come and talk? --Hahc21 (talk) 17:45, 19 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Doesn't matter, he gets credit either way so might as well just give the verdict. - (CK)Lakeshade - talk2me - 17:55, 19 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Verdict[edit]

Ok, this is the first time I finish a review on 1 day. I scanned it easy and fast. I'll be watching the rest of the GANs he have submitted.

Final comments: Nice and easy. A record. I have to congratulate (CK)Lakeshade and Till I Go Home for their amazing work on this article. No big issues, only 2 prose little correctiosn and it's done. --Hahc21 (talk) 18:13, 19 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Censored Lines?[edit]

I found an audio (probably mp3) file of this song/poem that did not include, “Hey, dinosaur Baby, you're prehistoric A dinosaur. That's what you are, ha. Hey, carnivore You are my meat, I know it A dinosaur That's what you are, ha.” Instead, I only heard the whistling. Cbsteffen (talk) 07:10, 20 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
