Comments

  • Could link Music of Samoa for "Samoan musical culture" in the lead.
  • One para in the lead is probably sufficient for an article of this modest size.
  • "Charting" can be linked to Record chart.
  • "manager Happy Walters. Walters was" repetitive.
  • "written by Billy Gould, Boo-Yaa T.R.I.B.E., ... Mike Patton and Roddy Bottum, except" all overlinked.
  • "Samoan a capella" lead said musical culture, not specifically a capella.
  • "time, Jim Martin, did not wish to participate, Gould" --> "time, Jim Martin did not wish to participate so Gould..."
  • Our article seems to italicise The A.V. Club. As you have in ref 7 in fact.
  • ISBNs should be consistently formatted.

That's all. The Rambling Man (Keep wearing the mask...) 11:24, 3 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Thanks for having a look at this; I've made the recommended fixes; as for the a capella singing, that's what the source specified so I've just called it out specifically in the lead rather than glossing it as before. Standardised the ISBNs as 13-digits but can go the other way if there's a preference. Gʀᴀᴘᴘʟᴇ ˣ 11:33, 3 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Improved to Good Article status by Grapple X (talk). Self-nominated at 22:53, 4 September 2021 (UTC).[reply]

General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: Done.

Overall: Promoted to GA, long enough, no plagiarism, hook is cited and interesting and QPQ done. I would just suggest the hook be altered to the following. Please ping me if that's acceptable. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 19:55, 6 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • ALT1: ... that "Another Body Murdered", a collaboration between Faith No More and Boo-Yaa T.R.I.B.E., has been described as having "a chest-puffing, smack-talking energy that’s undeniable"?
    I mean that would be fine, I tend to go for the shorter version where possible but have no problem with this one. 𝄠ʀᴀᴘᴘʟᴇ X 20:05, 6 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    Great. Yeah, I think ALT1 wording is better because it indicates that that was said by someone outside of the song's creation (ie a reviewer), versus someone involved with its creation describing it like that. And the hook is still within the character count. Pass with ALT1. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 20:14, 6 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Promoter's comment to @Favre1fan93: While I get where you're coming from, I honestly think ALT0 was fine. Yes, there's something to be said for explicitly attribution, but I think the whimsy of just getting to the point outweighs that need. People are going to get from the absurdity of the line that it's not some universal truth about the song, it's something that someone said. This is a stylistic choice to be sure, and I am going to promote ALT1, but I think that there's something to be said for keeping the hooks a little hookier in exchange for ditching some minor context.
