I'll be reviewing the GA for "Paper or Plastic". I look forward to reading the article, and will adding to the review as I go :)! Giacobbe talk 19:46, 12 May 2017 (UTC) Reviewer: (CA)Giacobbe (talk · contribs) 19:46, 12 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]


Overall

[edit]
  • Quick question: Why are all of your sources archived? They are barely a year old lol.
  • Images or quote boxes would help spruce the article up a bit.
  • I do not believe any additional images are necessary for this article; I cannot think of an additional image that would further illustrate the material beyond what is present in the text (especially since it is a very short article). There is actually a quote box in the "Music video" section. Aoba47 (talk) 22:32, 12 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • References should include both the work and the publisher, I've noted that several references are lacking such. I understand that some magazines and online media are published under the same name. In that case I would identify the publisher as such. For example 'Source Example Magazine' would be published under 'Source Example Inc/Ltd/LLC/etc'. Generally they state what they are published under (or their legal title) in the 'About Us' or 'Contact Us' section.

Intro

[edit]
  • "It was released as the fourth promotional single from the record."
  • Change to "Paper or Plastic" or "The song" — You refer to "Paper or Plastic" as it in the previous sentence, and in the sentence immediately following the one I quoted, you refer to it as the track.
  • "Critical response to the song was mixed; some music critics praised the sound while Mike Wass of Idolator criticized it alongside the other promotional singles for the album."
  • First bold — Change to "Paper or Plastic", same reasoning as above.
  • Second bold — Kinda sounds like you're giving Wass undue weight, might I suggest changing the sentence to - ""Paper or Plastic" garnered generally mixed responses from contemporary music critics; some praised the songs "unusually restrained" sound, while others criticized it alongside the album's previously released promotional singles.
  • "which Candy envisioned as a satire on political and socioeconomic repression of women and misogyny"

Composition

[edit]
  • An audio sample would also go a long way to help give the reader context.
