Hello! I will be reviewing this article as part of the March 2024 GAN backlog drive. I will add comments in the table below. More to follow! Unexpectedlydian♯4talk 10:13, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Sricsi Thank you for your work on this article, it's very comprehensive and an interesting read. I think it's almost good to go, only a few comments to address in the table below. Do let me know if you have any questions! Unexpectedlydian♯4talk 18:47, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Unexpectedlydian Apologies for the late reply, but I was on holiday. Hope I’m not running out of time here, but I try to get into looking at your review during the next days. I hope this is still okay. Sricsi (talk) 20:14, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hey @Sricsi, no problem at all. Hope you enjoyed your holiday! Unexpectedlydian♯4talk 21:02, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Unexpectedlydian I've addressed your notes in this review. Could you tell me if there is anything further that needs to be corrected/adjusted? Thank you for all your help. :) Sricsi (talk) 13:28, 10 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @Sricsi, thanks so much for addressing the suggestions. Very happy to promote this to GA now, well done :) Unexpectedlydian♯4talk 16:21, 10 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Unexpectedlydian just a reminder to close this discussion! (You might find User:Novem Linguae/Scripts/GANReviewTool.js helpful going forward, since it automates this part. But I think you'll have to close this discussion manually since the article is already marked as GA.) -- asilvering (talk) 16:35, 10 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

1. Well-written:
1a. the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct.

Lead

Background

  • checkY

Development and composition

  • No need to wikilink "saxophone".

Critical reception

Commercial performance

Track listing

Personnel

  • No need to wikilink alto saxophone, bassoon, oboe, flute, French horn or timpani. Maybe English horn is obscure enough to be linked, but all other links are standard orchestral or jazz instruments.

Charts

1b. it complies with the Manual of Style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation.

Lead sections

  • checkY

Layout

  • checkY

Words to watch

  • None identified.

Fiction

  • N/A

List incorporation

  • Lists and tables are appropriate.

This article also follows guidelines at WikiProject Albums Album article style advice.


2. Verifiable with no original research:
2a. it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline.
  • References, sources and citations are correctly formatted.


2b. reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose).

Prose spot-check

I will check sections of prose where bold claims are made or quotations are used.

  • General point: Whenever critical quotations are used in the article (e.g. Bennett "sounds genuinely desperate with devotion" in his solo rendition of "So in Love", while in her solo number of "Let's Do It", Gaga "goes full musical theatre, humming appreciatively as trumpeter Brian Newman lets rip with a solo.", can you attribute the quotation directly to the relevant author in the prose? E.g. "Helen Brown writing in The Independent, says..."
  • It features a saxophone solo and has often been cited for its complicated rhyming scheme. I don't think the citations quite back this up - i.e. that it "has often been cited".

Source spot-check

I will select sources to spot-check and may expand the list if any issues are identified.

Colapinto, John (February 1, 2021)

  • checkY

Wilman, Chris (August 3, 2021)

  • checkY

Hunt, El (September 30, 2021).

  • checkY

Brown, Helen (May 30, 2020).

  • In the Wiki article, can you use a direct quote from the Independent article when referencing the "rattle of drums and trumpet fanfare"?

Petridis, Alexis (September 30, 2021).

  • The sixth track "I Concentrate on You"... Why is this citation used? I can't see any reference to the song in The Guardian article.
  • Petridis praised Gaga's "authentic" performances The Guardian article does not use the word "authentic".

McCormick, Neil (September 30, 2021).

  • checkY

Amorosi, A.D. (August 6, 2021).

  • Bennett then picks up with "The only exception I know is the case..." line I can't see this in the source.

Nolfi, Joey (November 3, 2021)

  • checkY

Romaine, Jenna (June 30, 2021).

  • checkY

Calvario, Liz (December 17, 2021).

  • checkY

Gross, Joe (September 29, 2021).

  • checkY

Smyth, David (October 1, 2021)

  • checkY

Caulfield, Keith (October 10, 2021).

  • checkY

Approx. 10% of sources checked, I don't see any issues that warrant further spot-checks.


2c. it contains no original research.
  • I am content from spot checks that the article does not contain OR.


2d. it contains no copyright violations or plagiarism.
  • Spot checks have not detected copyright. Earwig copyvio detector only flags quotations.


3. Broad in its coverage:
3a. it addresses the main aspects of the topic.
  • The main aspects of the topic are all addressed.


3b. it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style).
  • Happy that the article does not go into necessary detail. There are a lot of quotes regarding criticism, but I think that is ok given the amount of critical reception the album received.


4. Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each.
  • Article content is presented neutrally.


5. Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute.
  • No evidence of instability or edit warring. Majority of recent edits are by nominator.


6. Illustrated, if possible, by media such as images, video, or audio:
6a. media are tagged with their copyright statuses, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content.
  • Images are all tagged with copyright status. The music video image has a fair use rationale which I believe to be appropriate within context.


6b. media are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions.
  • Images are appropriate. I have been bold and added an alt description to the one image which was missing it.


7. Overall assessment.
