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

---

As usual, mostly up to your standards. Just needs a little more polish and it should be good to go.

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose, spelling, and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):

   Just a few issues that should be easily fixed.

• As usual, watch for overlinking. You link Joe South and a couple other terms multiple times. In general, only link words the first time they appear.
• Also watch for overuse of commas. I removed a few.
• Early Life: You used "Anderson" a lot without qualifying which one since both her and her mom are mentioned.
• 1970-1980: "Anderson found Joe South's version of Rose Garden" -- when and where?
• "Even Cowgirls Get the Blues" album -- did this album chart any singles? Was it reviewed? This seems to be the only Columbia album that you didn't mention much about.
• "During this period Anderson did not release full-length albums, but did record a single for MCA Records." -- What was the single called, and did it chart?
• Musical Styles - maybe add a little more information about her singing voice? That seems to be the only stylistic aspect not touched on.
• Musical Styles - maybe add a little more information about her singing voice? That seems to be the only stylistic aspect not touched on.

1. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR): d (copyvio and plagiarism):

• What makes the Flower Power website a reliable source? Also, it gives me a "this site is not secure" warning when I open it. This was the only site that did not seem to be a reliable source. Consider using another source here.
• Citation 92 (Findagrave.com) is an incomplete footnote. This was the only one I spotted.
• The album liner notes are fine as references, but I would recommend adding the catalog number of the album (see how I did it on Steve Wariner or Eddy Raven as examples).
• Musical Styles - maybe add a little more information about her singing voice? That seems to be the only stylistic aspect not touched on.

1. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

2. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

3. It is stable.

   No edit wars, etc.:

   As usual I'm not expecting any stability issues on a country music article.

4. It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.

   a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

5. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

   Again, just a few minor details needing cleanup and this should pass.

• Okay, it looks like you've addressed all the major issues. I just did one last minor cleanup, and I think this is now passed as a GA. Once again, thanks for your work! Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 02:59, 18 February 2021 (UTC)
