GA Review process

[edit]

Although this song is quite notable, there are few readily available sources for the song on the internet. I would like the reviewer to consider this while reviewing the article; thank you! Carbrera (talk) 00:52, 15 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm User:MarioSoulTruthFan and I'll be reviewing this article in a short time.

Lead

[edit]
  • Link → music critics

 Done

  • The single was subsequently considered Ivy's signature song, due to heavy promotion → this is not said in the article, add it and source.

 Done

Background

[edit]
  • later interview → When?

 Done fixed per date of interview; good catch!

  • ...the idea of incorporating new genres into their music; → full stop after music, then capital letter.

 Done

  • stated that → doesn't need "that".

 Done

  • "the first songs [we] recorded were jangly and simple and straight-ahead. We started gravitating toward the groovier, slightly more melancholy stuff. It works well with Dominique's voice" → use your own words in some of this quote.

 Done re-worded

  • "Along with the exploration came "stronger" songs" → sounds terrible.

 Done re-worded

Composition and release

[edit]
  • Musically, "Edge of the Ocean" is an indie pop and trip hop song; → full stop and sources.

 Done

  • "The single was not released elsewhere until May 27, 2002, when it was released as a CD single in the United Kingdom" → in spite of being a unreliable source, the date only has 2001.

 Not done. The source is now reliable but there is no, month or day of the release. Still only year.

Critical reception

[edit]
  • Flawless.

 Done Hey thanks!

Music video and promotion

[edit]
  • The video begins with Durand casually walking around in California near the ocean; several shots of nearby boats, cliffs and landscape are interwoven as Durand mouths the song's lyrics. Chase and Schlesinger also appear in the video. → source.

 Done YT video is the only source regarding the video out there (that I can find, and trust me, I've looked)

  • The track was later joked about, with a reviewer noting that "chances are you've heard it and didn't even know it". → not sure if this is the best section for this piece of information.

 Done moved

Track listings and formats

[edit]
  • See on References section, below.

 Done

Credits and personnel

[edit]
  • Link mixing, mastering and such only once in this section, in other words, most of them are not linked and need to be once.

 Done

Charts

[edit]

 Done

Release history

[edit]
  • See below

 Done

References

[edit]
  • Lot's to do here:
  1. andychase.com → Andy Chase

 Done

  1. Discogs is not reliable → replace it.

 Done I have added additional reliable sources (Amazon) for verification

  1. 15 → Despite being the official video, it's not official source (Ivy's channel), use MTV or other.
  • I'm not sure what you want me to change regarding this
I was saying to find a reliable source for the video, but since you can't find it with your research and I couldn't as well. Let's leave it at that.
  1. IMDb → unreliable source, replace it.

 Done replaced
