This is going to be reviewed today! --K. Peake 07:16, 5 August 2022 (UTC)
Infobox and lead
[edit]- Infobox looks good!
- Mention in the first sentence that it is from their sixth studio album, The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society (1968)
- Done.
- Make the second sentence one mentioning the song's writing, singing and recording date
- Done.
- Follow the above with the inspiration, then one sentence of comp and lyrical meaning
- Done.
- Remove the sequencing sentence since that is not notable and the album can be mentioned in the first sentence
- Done.
- "The recording features a" → "The song features a" moving this to the comp/lyrics part like I said
- Done.
- Remove session keyboardist introduction to Nicky Hopkins
- Done.
- "and others comment that its" → "Others comment that its" to avoid a run-on sentence
- Done.
- "The Kinks performed the song" → "The Kinks performed "People Take Pictures of Each Other""
- Done.
Background and composition
[edit]- Quote box looks good!
- This section seems disordered; shouldn't you write about inspiration and its place on the album in background then follow with comp and lyrics of the song itself?
- Yeah, you're right it was a little out of order. I swapped paragraphs so the composition is discussed before its relation to the other songs on the album, which I think makes sense chronologically.
- "and Davies further stated in" → "and Davies eventually stated in"
- How about simply "... and Davies stated in ..."
- "encourage nostalgia while misleading" → "encourage nostalgia and mislead"
- Done.
- "Davies wrote it specifically" → "Davies wrote the song specifically"
- Done.
- Remove wikilink on "Pictures in the Sand"
- I think it's acceptable by WP:NSONG: Songs that do not rise to notability for an independent article should redirect to another relevant article, such as ... a prominent album ...
- "to photographs,[6] and" → "to photographs and" moving [6] solely to the end of the sentence
- Done.
- "where the latter features a" → "with the latter featuring a"
- Done.
- "it serves as a commentary on the album's other tracks," → "the song serves as a commentary on the other tracks,"
- Done.
- "thinks the song's closing lines" → "thinks the closing lines"
- Done.
Recording and release
[edit]- Audio sample looks good!
- Wikilink acoustic guitar
- Done.
- "and fast a breathless lead vocal" doesn't make much sense, unless you meant to write "a fast, breathless lead vocal"?
- Yes, that was a typo. Fixed.
- "rather than hiring session musicians to play it." → "rather than working with hiring session musicians." to be less repetitive
- How about ... rather than working with hired session musicians.
- Pipe coda to Coda (music)
- Done.
- Remove wikilink on Pye Records
- Done.
- "well without it."" → "well without it"." per MOS:QUOTE
- Done.
- "barely notice it."" → "barely notice it"."
- Done.
Other versions
[edit]- First para looks good!
- "The American rock band" → "American rock band" to avoid starting two consecutive sentences with the
- Done.
- "over time, adding in part:" → "over time, further adding:"
- Done.
References
[edit]- Copyvio score looks solid at 34.6%!!!
- Remove the author from ref 29 since staff is not a person
- Done.
Sources
[edit]- Pipe Overlook Press to The Overlook Press
- Done.
- Pipe Backbeat Books to UBM Technology Group
- Done.
