Infobox
[edit]- Written: 1930 → should also be in the body of the article, along with a source in the aforementioned section
- Removed, not verifiable
- Genre: Traditional pop → same as previous
- Removed
- Lenght?
- There is no canonical track, so no fixed length.
- Audio Sample: WP:Sample, unless the song is over 5 minutes, no 30 seconds
- I do not know how to do this, so I just removed it.
Done
Lead
[edit]- Written by lyricist Yip Harburg and composer Jay Gorney → not mentioned in the body of the article
- Fixed
- it is largely in a minor key → composed largely in a minor key
- done
Done
Background
[edit]- The Great Depression in the United States, started by → The Great Depression in the United States, which started with
- By 1932 → In 1932
- The tune → Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?
- At this point, it wasn't called that.
- It doesn't sound encyclopedic, perhaps "the piece"? MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 00:18, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
- Changed to "melody". buidhe 00:57, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
- It doesn't sound encyclopedic, perhaps "the piece"? MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 00:18, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
- After his appliance business went bankrupt, → after this the first sentence should be writen as if it weren't for it Harburg wouldn't have gone to the music business.
- Reordered (I think that's what you were suggesting?)
- One paragraph
- It would be too long, and deals with two separate topics.
Done
Summary
[edit]- Re-title the section for "Composition and lyrical interpretation"
- In the second paragraph is always "the song, song and more song". Replace sometimes with "the track" or even with the title of the song "Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?", for example: "Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?" has an unusual structure for a Broadway song.
- It's not a track as there is no single canonical version. Done some.
- Understood. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 00:20, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
- the song jumps → "Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?" jumps → change this one as well.
- I think this could cause confusion, as the title is also part of the lyrics. Changed to "the melody jumps."
Done
Performance history
[edit]- Re-title "Live performances"
- includes recordings.
- How about "Musical and cover versions"? MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 00:35, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
- This section should be before the "Parody" one
- It would be confusing to discuss the reception to the musical without explaining the musical first.
- Angered by...→ move it to the reception portion
Done
Reception
[edit]- Re-title perhaps to "Reception and Legacy"
- Theater Arts Monthly's → redlink
- Redlinks encourage article creation.
- "On the Sunny Side of the Street", "Life Is Just a Bowl of Cherries", and "Happy Days Are Here Again" → year of release of the songs between brackets
- Michael Lasser write that → Michael Lasser wrote that
- According to Meyerson and Harburg, the challenge that Harburg → this gets cofusing
- They write that he → The latter
Done
Parody
[edit]- Fine
References
[edit]- The Kennedy Center, NPR → publisher
- these refereces are accurate as they are
- Why? MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 14:41, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
- OK, done. buidhe 17:58, 26 May 2020 (UTC)
- Why? MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 14:41, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
- these refereces are accurate as they are
- Reference 13 has no author, title...only work and date + The New York Times should be wikilinked
Done
External links
[edit]- Should mention the university, year of publication, full title
- Added year. Title is obvious, I don't see how the university hosting it is relevant to include.
- All the other references have it, why should this one be an exception? All external links have their publisher, why should this one be an exception? MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 00:36, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
- The university did not publish it. I added the print publisher but it is a redlink so I do not know how helpful it is.
- All the other references have it, why should this one be an exception? All external links have their publisher, why should this one be an exception? MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 00:36, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
- In the same way the other redlinks are. You have a redirect at Paramount Pictures. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 15:51, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
Done
Overall
[edit]- You can now address the issues, on hold for seven days. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 15:26, 23 May 2020 (UTC)
- @Buidhe: only missing one thing. Moreover, are you going to add those new sources? MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 12:43, 26 May 2020 (UTC)
- I will add them after you pass it. Many reviewers don't like it when the nominator adds additional sources during the review. buidhe 17:58, 26 May 2020 (UTC)
- Add them now, I would rather review them before I pass the article, there would be no need to add more information right after a GA review. Let me know once you do it. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 19:46, 26 May 2020 (UTC)

- @Buidhe: I made minor changes to the article, see if you are ok with those and let me know. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 10:53, 27 May 2020 (UTC)
- I have no objection. buidhe 19:10, 28 May 2020 (UTC)
