GA review
(see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)
  1. It is reasonably well written.
    a (prose, spelling, and grammar):
    b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
  2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.
    a (references):
    b (citations to reliable sources):
    c (OR):
    d (copyvio and plagiarism):
  3. It is broad in its coverage.
    a (major aspects):
    b (focused):
  4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.
    Fair representation without bias:
  5. It is stable.
    No edit wars, etc.:
  6. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
    a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales):
    b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

Overall:
Pass/Fail:

· · ·
  • Copyvio check: I reviewed matches over 5% using Earwig's Copyvio Detector. No issues. (Matches were attributed quotes, titles, etc.)
  • Media: FUR in place for cover image. Other image is CC. Images are relevant. Placement and captions are fine. Alt text is OK - optionally it could be made a bit more descriptive of what is shown image. As far as I'm aware, the 27-second song sample is OK per Wikipedia policies.

Background and release

  • "a collection of songs containing confessions she had wanted to but could not make to the people she had met in real life." - I was thinking about suggesting a rewording of the second half of this, but can you just confirm what parts of the source are being summarised here? (I'm not sure "confessions" is quite right if it's the answer that starts "Everything that happens to me gets put into a song...")
  • "after which she proceeded to write the lyrics" - optionally, as a misreading of the lyric author would be unlikely, change to something like "and then proceeded to write the lyrics"

Composition

  • "runs at four minutes and 28 seconds" - seems an unusual phrase to me, but happy to retain this if it's common in American English.
  • "Some critics commented" - if it was the two cited, I'f name them and their publications. (e.g. "Both Matt Bjorke of Roughstock and Billboard's Brittany McKenna..." (For some reason I couldn't get to either the original or archived versions of these sources; I may try later)

Reception

  • "In Speak Now album reviews, some critics" - optionally expand these but as a range of opinions are included in the paragraph, it would also be OK to leave this as-is.
  • "his ranking of all songs" - useful to add the year, I think.

Live performances

  • "She performed" - better as "Swift performed" as this is the first mention in the section. (the current first "Swift" could then be changed to "she")

Music video

  • scarrittbennet.org isn't an independent source for the video being filmed there. Is there a better source? If not, can leave it as-is as it's not very controversial, unless I underestimate Swifities.

Charts/Certifications

  • No issues

Infobox and Lead

  • If the exact date for the music video is included, I'd suggest including the full date for the release of Speak Now

Sources

  • No questions or concerns about reiability or from a couple of checks (other than anything noted above).

Thanks for your work on the article Ippantekina. I'm happy to discuss, or be challenged on, my comments. Regards, BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 21:27, 11 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Many thanks, BennyOnTheLoose. I have responded above. Let me know if the article needs further work. Cheers, Ippantekina (talk) 04:26, 12 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, Ippantekina. I'm satisfied that the article meets the GA criteria, so I'm passing it. The inclusion of the full date for the release of Speak Now (per my comment on infobox and lead) isn't a blocker to GA status. Regards, BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 11:52, 12 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
