Talk:Shame (Robbie Williams and Gary Barlow song)

Intro.

Is the intro a sample of Blackbird? It sounds very simillar and even has the clicks that feature in said music. Also, is it not odd that an article on a single doesn't really mention much about the music at all?(Morcus (talk) 17:08, 15 October 2010 (UTC))

GA Review

Hello, I am Carbrera, and I'll be reviewing this article for possible good article submission.

Full review coming very soon. Carbrera (talk) 02:16, 30 March 2016 (UTC)

Infobox

• The single cover image needs an alt
• Redo the "recorded" section so it makes more sense; use Asking 4 It as an example please
  • With all due respect, that's a choice. I prefer how it is in "Shame".
    • Oh, I see. I was looking at this part exclusively through editing mode, so I overall assumed it would be a bulleted list. Yeah, this way's fine
• Remove the "certification" section since its empty

Lead

Paragraph 1

• Remove the link to "lead single" per WP:OVERLINKING

Paragraph 2

• Remove the hidden linking of "|single charts"; it's unnecessary
  • I think it's quite necessary because it links the UK Singles Chart

Development and release

Paragraph 1

• The description for the image is a bit confusing to me; could you reword it?
• "that he is..." → "that he was..."
• Remove "; Williams didn't join them at the beginning."

Paragraph 2

• "William's" → "Williams'"
  • The article is written in British English and Britons use ex. Williams's over Williams', but it's fixed now :)
• The second sentence uses a a lot of commas; could you reword this sentence as well?
  • I tried my best here.

Paragraph 3

• Insert a comma after "some countries"
• "apart of the title track,..." → "apart from the title track,..."

Composition and lyrical interpretation

• I would change the section title to "Composition and lyrics"
  • According to me it should be either 'Composition and lyrical interpretation' or 'Music and lyrics'; I usually prefer the first one
• The rest of this section is fantastic
  • Thank you!

Critical reception

Paragraph 1

• You could add a link to contemporary music critics here
• Are there more reviews you could add to this section; it would benefit the article greatly?
  • Unfortunately I couldn't find more :/

Chart performance

Paragraph 1

• Add a topic sentence discussing the track's commercial performance/reception please
  • I think we should leave the people to judge it, because everybody has diff perception of it honestly
• Other than that, also good work

Music video

Paragraph 1

• Can you add dates on when the video was shot? If applicable of course...
  • Done.
• Instead of the photo of the two actors, would one of the actual video be more beneficial?
  • I did have, but there isn't a clear scene that we can use honestly, so the photo got removed and I added pics of the actors
• The synopsis is good, but a bit long? Do you think it should be shortened a bit?
  • Tried to cut it a bit, I think it's fine now, no?

Live performances

• You use "Shame" a lot; remember, you can also use "the track", "the single", "the song", etc....
  • Done. Used only twice now.
