Good Article review progress box

This is going to be reviewed by me today! --K. Peake 10:28, 3 August 2022 (UTC)
Infobox and lead
[edit]- Since the actual recording month is not known, change to merely 1968 in the infobox
- But it's known that it's either July or October.
- Pye is linked both in the studio and label parameters leading to the exact same article, so only keep one
- One goes to Pye Studios and the other to Pye Records. The former redirects to the latter because there isn't an article for it, but there could be someday, so I think that means they both ought to be kept.
- Mention in the first sentence that it is from their sixth studio album, The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society (1968)
- Done.
- The second sentence should be written/sung and recorded period
- Done.
- "concert where Davies fell" → "concert during which Davies fell"
- Done.
- Make the third sentence the one about the musical style, then the lyrical content in another sentence or more
- Done.
- "The recording features" → "The song features"
- In the reword, is "Its" fine? I just want to avoid the repetition ("the song ... the song ... the song ...).
- "while its style indicated" → "while its style showcased"
- Done.
Background and composition
[edit]- Quote box looks good!
- "was further inspired by" → "was also inspired by"
- Done.
- "from Davies's time spent" → "from his time spent"
- Done.
- Swap the second and third paras for the correct comp order
- Done.
- I don't think "In writing" is really appropriate at the start of the para; maybe try something like when writing or through the writing of?
- Changed to the former.
- "all of his friends there" → "all of them there" to be less repetitive
- Done.
- "describes the ending" → "describes the ending as"
- Done.
- "sense of companionship."" → "sense of companionship"." per MOS:QUOTE
- Done.
- Pipe metre to Metre (music)
- Done.
- Pipe chorus to Refrain
- Done.
- Shouldn't you use the plural of lead vocal instead for Davies?
- I'm not sure what the convention is in British English. I see the FA Sgt. Pepper uses both.
- Wouldn't it be better to reword to mentioning something about the pitch instead of writing intonation?
- The source (Rogan 2015) says "posh intonation", but doesn't mention the pitch. I've changed it to "posh tone".
- "closes the song awkwardly and" → "is an awkward closer and"
- What's wrong with the original wording?
Recording and release
[edit]- Quote box looks good!
- "to expand its track listing to fifteen," → "to expand it to fifteen tracks,"
- Done.
- "though it possibly dated" → "though the song is possibly dated"
- Done.
- Remove the word magazine after The Village Voice
- Done.
- "He suggests the song displays" → "He suggested the song demonstrates"
- Done.
- "song", calling it" → "song", calling the song"
- Done.
- "of the band's next" → "of the band's succeeding"
- Done.
- "instead thinks the song" → "instead considers the song"
- Done.
- "of the village green."" → "of the village green"." per MOS:QUOTE
- Done.
Notes
[edit]- Hinman updated his dating to → Hinman updated his date to
- Done.
References
[edit]- Copyvio score looks great at 29.6%!!!
- Solely cite the publisher for ref 26
- Done.
Sources
[edit]- Pipe Backbeat Books to Rowman & Littlefield
- Per our discussion in the GAN for "Starstruck", I piped it to UBM Technology Group.
Final comments and verdict
[edit]- On hold until all of the issues are fixed; nice article once again! --K. Peake 11:15, 3 August 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks again Kyle Peake, comments and responses above. Tkbrett (✉) 18:27, 3 August 2022 (UTC)
- Tkbrett About the recording date in the infobox, simply change to 1968 because that is the know year and or for either month is not a good idea and the awkwardly part needs rewording to avoid overusage of the song. --K. Peake 07:38, 4 August 2022 (UTC)
- Kyle Peake: gotcha, I reworded the "awkwardly" part. Is there anything in the MOS about the infobox dating? Template:Infobox song#recorded doesn't provide any guidance, nor does MOS:ALBUM#Dating. I still feel its better as is than the broader "1968". Tkbrett (✉) 15:27, 4 August 2022 (UTC)
- Tkbrett Not that I'm aware of, however I'd advise against adding unspecific dates to infoboxes. --K. Peake 07:13, 5 August 2022 (UTC)
- Kyle Peake if it's really a personal preference thing and not anything in the MOS, I preferred to keep it as for the reasons above. Tkbrett (✉) 12:17, 5 August 2022 (UTC)
- Tkbrett Maybe you could add a note to the infobox clarifying this? --K. Peake 07:44, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
- Kyle Peake, sure, does this look okay? Tkbrett (✉) 11:15, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
- ✓ Pass now, the note works perfectly! --K. Peake 16:41, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks! Tkbrett (✉) 11:47, 7 August 2022 (UTC)
