Good Article review progress box

Infobox and lead
[edit]- Infobox looks good
- "Following the record company's success" → "Following the label's success" keep it simple
- Fixed.
- "needed to be "countrified", "flattening"[1]" feels like a word is missing; maybe "thereby 'flattening'"?
- Altered it a little bit. Let me know if it's alright.
Background
[edit]- "an album of the group" → "an album for the group"
- Done.
- "5600-person" shouldn't it be "5,600-person"?
- Done.
Recording
[edit]- Link Dylan
- Done.
Songs
[edit]- Looks good
Release and reception
[edit]- 2225 → 2,225
- Done.
- Change "record company" to "label" for simplicity's sake
- Done.
- Beatlemania should be linked a sentence before
- Fixed.
- characterises → characterizes
- Fixed.
Legacy
[edit]- Looks good
Track listing
[edit]- Why does the table not take up the full screen?
- Personal preference, I guess. I saw JG did it over a A Collection of Beatles Oldies and liked the look, but it doesn't really matter to me. I brought it back to its full width.
Personnel
[edit]- Looks good
Charts
[edit]- Since it's just one item you can remove the "weekly" sub-section
- Done.
Notes/References/Sources
[edit]- I would use an actual cite web template for AllMusic rather than the AllMusic specific one – I find that one to be outdated. That way you can also add an archive link
- Done.
- Missing access date and archive on ref 48
- I've had no luck with using the Wayback Machine. It always removes .html from the end of the link and saves a picture of https://www.chicagotribune.com rather than https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-1995-05-11-9505110077-story.html. I think an access-date is not needed per Template:Cite web: "Access dates are not required for links to published research papers, published books, or news articles with publication dates."
- You don't need to have page numbers in the sources section – that's what the sfn's are for
- The ones with page numbers are for chapters in books with multiple authors, indicating the page range of that particular chapter, then the specific page appears in the sfn.
Final thoughts
[edit]- Overall this was a very interesting read. I literally had no idea this existed nor anything like it did, and the fact that there was enough info here to warrant an article of this quality is very impressive to me. I really say congrats to you; you've been impressing me with all your Beatles-related articles so far and this is no exception. Well done. Just a few queries and this will be an easy pass. – zmbro (talk) 16:01, 27 August 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks zmbro, I really appreciate it! I hadn't heard of it either until I started working on "I've Just Seen a Face". It's a fun listen, albeit hard to find. The album isn't available on any streaming service in Canada; I only found a stereo mix on some obscure website, and I also managed to order the only LP available in Canada from Discogs. Luckily it's in very good condition, because even if the CRVB didn't appreciate the album art, I find it absolutely gorgeous. Also, their cover of "Norwegian Wood" is a real delight (maybe this link will work in the US). Tkbrett (✉) 14:18, 31 August 2021 (UTC)
- Tkbrett, Is it available on YouTube? Looks good, easy ✓ Pass – zmbro (talk) 15:19, 31 August 2021 (UTC)
- zmbro, maybe... try this link. It doesn't work in Canada, so I don't know if it will in the US. If not, I can always shoot you an email depending on how interested you are. :) Tkbrett (✉) 17:42, 31 August 2021 (UTC)
- Tkbrett, It does. Looks like the whole thing is available on YT. Sick, thanks. – zmbro (talk) 17:58, 31 August 2021 (UTC)
