I’ll review this soon, probably within the next week or so. I’ve started reviewing the article, and hope to finish tomorrow.

Speatle Done – zmbro (talk) (cont) 17:58, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Looks mostly good. I did a bit more ce for things I forgot to mention. One more thing before I can pass the article. " "(You Will) Set the World on Fire" is a pompous mid-1980s rocker, echoing Bowie's cover of Pop's "Bang Bang" on Never Let Me Down. It takes place in 1960s Greenwich Village amid protests occurring during that time." Is there a source for this, or is it another one that has a cite one or two sentences later? Speatle (talk to me) please ping me when replying to something I said. 18:55, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Speatle Another. Like I said, everything is properly cited. – zmbro (talk) (cont) 21:37, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)
  1. It is reasonably well written.
    a (prose, spelling, and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
    Mostly looking good here, although I’m a bit worried about MOS:SAID (explain and confess are used a few times in the article)
    Not all instances I find violates that but I changed instances where I agree. – zmbro (talk) (cont) 17:57, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.
    a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR): d (copyvio and plagiarism):
    Once again, mostly good, although there are some sentences that might need a citation moved over (ex. “Where Are We Now?" is about Bowie's time living in Berlin in the late 1970s). Earwig shows a copyvio percentage of 43.8, but it’s all quotes and song names.
    That's cited by Pegg in the second sentence. Citing every sentence is overkill but I ensure everything is properly cited. – zmbro (talk) (cont) 17:57, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  3. It is broad in its coverage.
    a (major aspects): b (focused):
    Despite being over 100,000 bytes, the article is a quick read while still being relatively focused and covering major aspects.
  4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.
    Fair representation without bias:
  5. It is stable.
    No edit wars, etc.:
    All looking good here!
  6. 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):
    I’m not very experienced with image copyright, but to my unexperienced eye, it looks good to me.
    b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
    Is the Gerry Leonard picture really necessary for the article?
    I mean he co-wrote two tracks while Bowie wrote everything else so I'd say it's relevant. – zmbro (talk) (cont) 17:57, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  1. Overall: This is a nice article, but it still needs a bit of minor work before I can wholeheartedly pass it. I’m putting it on hold for a week so minor issues noted in the review can be fixed.All issues have been fixed and concerns assuaged. This article passes.
    Pass/Fail:
