GA Review

This review is transcluded from Talk:Sway (Tove Styrke song)/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

Reviewer: Grnrchst (talk · contribs) 13:20, 30 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Gave the song a listen as I was writing the review. I quite liked it and I'm not even that into electropop, so I'm glad I got the chance to listen to something new from this process.

Lead and infobox

Background and release

"but she also worked" The "but" here is technically a word to watch, although not a particularly problematic usage. Consider a wee rewrite.

Done maybe? Pancake (talk) 11:09, 1 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Any other sources for its digital release and lack of cover art than its Apple Music store pages? In particular, the lack of cover art detail feels a bit synthy.

Removed the cover art part. Apple Music is used to verify the release date and label, ref 8 verifies the actual release of the song. Pancake (talk) 11:09, 1 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ok good, I think this is an acceptable use. --Grnrchst (talk) 11:27, 1 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Composition and lyrics

No notes.

Reception

Adam Graham quote is missing a closing quotation mark.

Oops, done! Pancake (talk) 11:09, 1 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Music video

Comment: "Young London skaters are not known for their love of appearing in pop videos." Lol.
It's commonly understood, so may not be necessary, but consider adding a link to London.

Not done as London is London. Pancake (talk) 11:09, 1 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Live performances

"as an innovative to end the show" Should this say "as an innovative way to end the show" or "as an innovative end to the show"?

Mercy me! Fixed. Pancake (talk) 11:09, 1 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Credits and personnel

No notes.

Charts

Did it not chart outside of Sweden? Just wondering as earlier Matt Nied said "this could easily dominate the charts."

It did not :( Tove is not a hitmaker on the charts. Pancake (talk) 11:09, 1 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Release history

Shouldn't this include the album release? Or is that not standard for singles releases?

The table is just for the release of the single, not the album. Pancake (talk) 11:09, 1 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

References

I see a lot of the references are to subscription-required, Swedish language publications. In cases where you're not already directly quoting, it might be worth adding some select quotations to the citations for easier verifiability.

Any citation in particular that you would like this added to? Also should the quote be in Swedish or translated? Pancake (talk) 11:09, 1 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

None in particular, just more generally. Ideally include both the original Swedish and a translation, using the "quote=" and "trans-quote=" fields. Note that this isn't obligatory, just a suggestion for verification purposes. -- Grnrchst (talk) 11:26, 1 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Holding for now. Only some very minor grammatical and sourcing issues are keeping me from quick-passing this. Once they've been addressed, I'll happily pass the review. Excellent work on this article PancakeMistake. --Grnrchst (talk) 13:20, 30 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

(Criteria marked are unassessed)

@PancakeMistake: Ok, thanks for addressing all my points! I'll pass the review now, as all the main grammatical and sourcing issues have been dealt with. Do consider adding quotes for the subscription-required sources, but that's not a blocker to passing. Nice work! --Grnrchst (talk) 11:29, 1 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
