I'll have to delay that since my computer is acting up.

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice,fiction, and lists):
It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):
It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias:
It is stable.
No edit wars, etc.:
It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
Overall:
Pass/Fail:

The article needs a few pictures, other than the single cover. It isn't very stable since this article has had loads of vandalism over the past few months (I can see why). Bruvtakesover (T|C) 21:05, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Would the article as it stands now, with one new fair use image, and three free license images (albeit only slightly related to the article) have passed the image section, if the evaluation was done now? I have sent an email to Rebecca's people, asking for an image of her, and also contacted "that girl in pink". Other than an image of a calendar, showing that Sunday follows Saturday, I'm not sure what else I'd put. -- Zanimum (talk) 22:52, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good now. Will add the full review in tomorrow (too tired tonight). Bruvtakesover (T|C) 22:58, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This is just a drive-by comment, but Good articles (unlike Featured articles) do not need pictures. In fact it is better not to put pictures in than have lots of free use ones or ones with dodgy licenses. AIRcorn (talk) 01:54, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Well since the images have been added in already, just keep them. Bruvtakesover (T|C) 16:16, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, so the video's screenshot should be kept then? -- Zanimum (talk) 17:34, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. Bruvtakesover (T|C) 17:46, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

user:J Milburn removed the image for the article. "It's just a picture of Black, whether it's from the music video or not. It's not telling us anything important." -- Zanimum (talk) 19:06, 23 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Full review? Okay, sure, didn't know there was more, but that would be great. I guess I'm sorta stuck with polishing this article now, not just nominating it and running away! (I visited the page on a whim, and decided to nom on a whim, but I'm willing to edit further, if advised. Also, no worries if I'm misinterpreting you, and full review means something else. By no means am I expecting more; your speedy response to the nomination was fantastic enough.)

Note that I do have a free license image of "that girl in pink" coming, her "momager" has replied already to my request. We'll see about Ms. Black's people. Aloha until then. -- Zanimum (talk) 23:15, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, great! :) Bruvtakesover (T|C) 23:19, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Citation 69 is dead, and citations 95-97 are bare URLs. What a pro. (talk) 09:13, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Was going to mention this. Bruvtakesover (T|C) 16:16, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed a bunch of references... but because of additional information added last night, the reference numbers have changed. -- Zanimum (talk) 17:34, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Great. 17:46, 16 January 2012 (UTC)

Comments, Jan 16

"There have been multiple covers of the song, including on the television series Glee, and in concert by Justin Bieber and Katy Perry, separately" - take away the and after Glee. Bruvtakesover (T|C) 17:57, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Changed. -- Zanimum (talk) 18:47, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"The music video for the song caught a sudden surge of hits after Michael J. Nelson, a comedian with a Twitter following, called it "the worst video ever made"." - You link other social networking sites, but not Twitter? Bruvtakesover (T|C) 22:29, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Added a reference/link to the exact post, and a to YouTube Trends citation of the post (an official blog of YouTube.) -- Zanimum (talk) 02:18, 18 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Great.

"In late 2010, a client of Los Angeles record label Ark Music Factory told thirteen-year-old classmate Black, who is from Anaheim Hills, California, about the company.[8][9]" - I think that needs reworded. Bruvtakesover (T|C) 22:29, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

How's this change? -- Zanimum (talk) 02:18, 18 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ok.

Cut down on the use of the likes and dislikes of the video. It isn't as important as other things in the article. Bruvtakesover (T|C) 22:29, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Would you mind if I moved them into a Notes section, a la this, for instance? -- Zanimum (talk) 02:18, 18 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Nope. Bruvtakesover (T|C) 13:02, 22 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Okay... so user:Adabow deleted the Notes section entirely. So I'll attempt to defend the obsession on "likes", less prominent than I thought it was. The intro mention is relevant due to the nature of social media. The reference at the start of "Critical reception" is relevant to it surpassing another video as most disliked on YouTube of all time, and the one before ref 64 is relevant because of its relation to the commenting being blocked. The ABC News acoustic video should be moved down to Notes, but there's no notes section left. Acceptable? -- Zanimum (talk) 19:13, 23 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

""Friday" debuted on the Billboard Social 50 chart at number 9 on April 2, 2011[51][52] "Friday" debuted on the Billboard Hot Digital Tracks/Songs chart at number 57" - What? Bruvtakesover (T|C) 22:29, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've added a Notes section to clarify what the Billboard Social 50 is, basically a social network monitoring service. -- Zanimum (talk) 02:18, 18 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

OK. Bruvtakesover (T|C) 13:02, 22 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This whole section has been removed. Considering she only had one song at the time, I feel the rating (which rates artist activity) is relevant, but whatever... -- Zanimum (talk) 19:06, 23 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

""Friday" debuted on the Billboard Social 50 chart at number 9 on April 2, 2011[51][52] "Friday" debuted on the Billboard Hot Digital Tracks/Songs chart at number 57[53] on April 2, 2011 and peaked to number 38." - Reword to 'and went on to peak at number 38'. Bruvtakesover (T|C) 22:29, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Done. -- Zanimum (talk) 02:18, 18 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. Bruvtakesover (T|C) 13:02, 22 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ref 57 is dead. Bruvtakesover (T|C) 22:29, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to leave this for now, but I can only find one obtuse reference to this. All other mentions are just copies of Wikipedia. The statement likely will be deleted. -- Zanimum (talk) 01:40, 18 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've asked Nerve Media if there's anything they can provide for me to cite. -- Zanimum (talk) 01:19, 20 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Giving up on this point, deleted the reference to it. -- Zanimum (talk) 20:02, 22 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

We need a source for when and where the video was taken in the Music Video section. Bruvtakesover (T|C) 22:29, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Traced out where they found it. -- Zanimum (talk) 01:40, 18 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ok. Bruvtakesover (T|C) 13:02, 22 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Everything looks ok now – passing! :) Bruvtakesover (T|C) 13:50, 29 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for all the guidance in this process, Bruvtakesover! Much appreciated. (And thanks to What a pro. and Aircorn as well.) -- Zanimum (talk) 15:06, 30 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
