GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

Nominator requested I review one of their GANs after kindly reviewing three of mine, which, now that I have returned from down south, will do. Review will come after I've taken a good look at the article. ChristieBot can be a bit slow, so pinging voorts now. Tim O'Doherty (talk) 20:20, 9 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It is reasonably well written.
a. (prose, spelling, and grammar):
Looks good, can't really nitpick any of it.

b. (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
Nothing bad, can't pick out anything wrong. Just had to add a full stop (or, given this article is written in AmE, a "period").
It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a. (reference section):

b. (citations to reliable sources):
I don't know of the general reliability of some of the sources, but AGF; a lot are opinion pieces anyway, and are there to verify the quotations.

c. (OR):
No OR.

d. (copyvio and plagiarism):

Earwig gives 30.1%, which is a bit high but nothing alarming, given that it's mostly quotes and the name that it's picking up on.
It is broad in its coverage.
a. (major aspects):

b. (focused):
It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias:

Good'n'neutral, the reviews are weighed against each other equally.
It is stable.
No edit wars, etc.:
It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.
a. (images are tagged and non-free content have non-free use rationales):

Fair use rationale on the one image looks fine to me.

b. (appropriate use with suitable captions):

No caption, but that's to be expected for articles on albums and songs.
Overall:
Pass/fail:

Well done to voorts and anybody else who worked on this article. Tim O'Doherty (talk) 20:46, 9 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Overall: @Voorts: Good article. but, the personnel and track listing should be cited.

Hi @Onegreatjoke: generally, those sections generally do not need cites per WP:TRACKLIST and WP:PERSONNEL because it's assumed they're from the liner notes. However, I've now cited the liner notes. voorts (talk/contributions) 20:34, 10 July 2023 (UTC) Onegreatjoke (talk) 14:56, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
