I'm Gonna Get You (Bizarre Inc song)
[edit]( )
- ... that The Black Eyed Peas' "Boom Boom Pow" was inspired by Bizarre Inc's "I'm Gonna Get You"?
Created by Launchballer (talk). Self nominated at 13:51, 5 March 2014 (UTC).
The article was of sufficient length as of 8 March 2014 (work on it began on 4 March), and appears sufficiently referenced. The hook is of appropriate length, but I don't think the article clearly states that the song which is its subject "inspired" The Black Eyed Peas' song. The article merely says that the song was one of will.i.am's "favourite songs" and that he "played [the] song for the power" in the bridge part of "Boom Boom Pow". — SMUconlaw (talk) 21:47, 23 March 2014 (UTC)
- What are you talking about - this revision, which was the state it was in when I nominated it in, had 1,684 characters according to DYK check?--Launchballer 22:29, 23 March 2014 (UTC)
- There isn't any problem with the length of the article – as I said, "[t]he article was of sufficient length". However, either the issue concerning the referencing of the hook needs to be addressed, or the hook should be reworded so that it is in line with the text of the article. — SMUconlaw (talk) 09:03, 24 March 2014 (UTC)
- Then why use that icon... anyway, I've fixed the article.--Launchballer 09:42, 24 March 2014 (UTC)
(for ALT1): Because, as far as I am aware, that icon indicates the hook is not ready for DYK. Anyway, I have had a look at the references you added, and note that they indicate that "I'm Gonna Get You" inspired part of "Boom Boom Pow", not the whole song, so I've done a minor edit to the article and think that the following alternative hook would be fine for DYK:
- ALT1: ... that part of The Black Eyed Peas' song "Boom Boom Pow" was inspired by Bizarre Inc's "I'm Gonna Get You"?
- Also, I just completed a general copyedit of the article and noticed that there are two references which are citations of other Wikipedia articles. This goes against WP:CIRCULAR, so please visit those articles, retrieve the reliable third-party references supporting the information in question, and insert the references into this article. — SMUconlaw (talk) 10:57, 24 March 2014 (UTC)
- My logic for including those references was that it was cleaner than copying several references over, but seeing how many more hit records sample the song, I've removed it and at a later date will expand that article. I should point out that you are mistaken with the use of icons:
- should be used when the article is ready to go.
should be used where there are offline references and the reviewer takes them in good faith. As I have cited inlay notes, this should be used here when it is approved.
should be used when there are minor fixes.
should be used when there are more serious errors.- should be used when there isn't a snowball's chance of hell of it making it to the front page.
should be used when a new reviewer is called for. As you have suggested an ALT, this one is currently necessary.--Launchballer 13:47, 24 March 2014 (UTC)

OK, thanks for pointing out the correct use of the icons. Just highlighting here that the ALT1 hook needs review by a second reviewer, as you mentioned. — SMUconlaw (talk) 14:25, 24 March 2014 (UTC)
- Comment - a QPQ is also required as Launchballer has far in excess of five DYK credits. SagaciousPhil - Chat 13:08, 3 April 2014 (UTC)
- ALT1 still needs reviewing by an independent reviewer. BlueMoonset (talk) 01:27, 12 April 2014 (UTC)
