- General
- Disambiguation links and external links are in good shape!
- I recommend adding in an "External links" section with a MetroLyrics link.
Done
- Introduction
- I think it would be best to just say that the song charted without being released as a single, since none of the charts listed are particularly great positions.
- Done
- Background
- The liner notes referenced in this section don't imply that Marvin's Room is infamous. You can keep this statement if you find a reference that verifies its notoriety; otherwise, I think it should be removed.
- Done
- Composition
- The reference you provide doesn't seem to include the full Curtis Mayfield speech, unless I'm missing something?
- How would you suggest sourcing from MetroLyrics? The same as any other ref? Giacobbe talk 21:10, 19 April 2014 (UTC)
- I recommend changing "he's" for "he is".
- Done
- Controversy
- Looks good!
- Critical reception
- Can you mention in the beginning of the section that the song received favorable reviews? This would be good to know at quick glance.
- Done
- Charts
- I'd like to see the chart positions turned into a brief paragraph in addition to the table; it can be in the beginning of this section or a newly-created "Commercial performance" section, your choice!
- Done
- Credits and personnel
- I would recommend moving this content above the "Charts" section.
- Done
- References
- Buzz Media should be listed as Spin Media.
- PopMatters should not be italicized.
- Done
The article is in good shape, and after my last wave of comments is addressed, I'll be happy to pass the article! WikiRedactor (talk) 21:05, 19 April 2014 (UTC)
- Passing, congratulations! WikiRedactor (talk) 21:14, 19 April 2014 (UTC)
Comments from non-involved users
[edit]- Prism's review
Reference style
[edit]- FN9 has PopMatters italicized where it should not be.
- FN10 should have The A.V. Club italicized.
- FN3, FN12 and FN13 have "curly apostrophes" (‘ instead of ') that need correction.
- Done
Prose
[edit]- Lead
- Could you rephrase the first sentence of the lead to something like "(x) is a song recorded by (y) for his twentieth studio album"?
- "somg" (typo)
- "written by David Foster and Linda Thompson-Jenner, who receive writing credits." (clarify this in a way that readers are able to realize that they received writing credits for "Tuscan Leather")
- "it's" → "its"
- "Tuscan Leather" (in the beginning of the second paragraph) → The song/The track to avoid repetition.
- Done
Just some minor changes that in my eyes will improve the article even further.
