Talk:Waking Up the Neighbours/GA1
GA Review
[edit]GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria
This article is in decent shape, but it needs more work before it becomes a Good Article.
- Is it well written?
- A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:
- In the Songs section, it would be best if the short sentences be combined together in a paragraph, as the short sentences look dull in the article. In the Canadian content section, add a period after this sentence ---> "The album made much controversy in Canada concerning the system of Canadian Content".
Done

In the Canadian content section, add a period after this sentence ---> "The album made much controversy in Canada concerning the system of Canadian Content".
- B. It complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation:
- In the Recording and production section, it would be best to link "Kamen" to ---> "Michael Kamen", I mean I was wondering who "Kamen" was, until I read the source. Also, this would help out a reader who reads this article. Same section, link "Beauty in the Beast" and if your talking about the film, italicize per here, but if your talking about the theme leave it with quotations. Same section, it would be best to introduce names first instead of introducing them afterwards; Link "Robert John "Mutt" Lange" after the mention of Adams in the first paragraph, do the same with "Michael Kamen" introduce the full name first and then add the last name afterwards. Same section, link "Kevin Costner" and italicize "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves". In the Songs section, it would be best if "(Everything I Do) I Do It for You", "Bryan Adams", "Billboard", "Grammy Awards of 1992", and "Billboard Hot 100" once, per here. In the Release and reception section, un-link "Mutt Lange", and mention "Mutt Lange" in the Canadian content section instead of adding his full name, and italicize "Billboard 200" and "Billboard 100". Again, link "(Everything I Do) I Do It for You" just once. Also, link "Canadian content" once. In the Waking Up the World tour section, fix the dates correctly, per here. Done
