Rollercoaster (Jim Verraros album)

[edit]

Moved to mainspace by Jpcase (talk). Self-nominated at 20:21, 29 December 2018 (UTC).

  • "First openly gay artist to place on AI", is not nearly as impressive since it was in season 1, no one could even possibly place before season 1 - gay, straight, trans or otherwise. I'll consider ALT1 and 2 for my review. MPJ-DK (talk) 02:52, 30 December 2018 (UTC)
  • I cannot find anywhere in the actual article that states that the lyrics are about gay sex, that is in the lead only and not sourced. MPJ-DK (talk) 03:05, 30 December 2018 (UTC)
  • Thanks for the review! Hmmm...you're right. I hadn't actually noticed that the term "gay sex" isn't used anywhere else in the article. But the album review from Out magazine [1] says, "'So Deep' replays the penetration metaphor of countless girly R&B jams, but this time it's a guy telling his presumably male partner, 'I wanna feel you inside'." It's pretty unambiguous as to what the author of that review is discussing, and I've quoted the review in the "Reception" section. That said, I'm not attached to any particular hook. Here are a couple more options.

Alright formal review time. I'll hit the other points first and then we'll figure out which hook works etc.
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: First couple of checks look good, the copyright checking tool found a 52% match but that's primarily the quote so that is acceptable. MPJ-DK (talk) 02:03, 31 December 2018 (UTC)

  • for ALT4, the juxtaposition of George Michael and Green Day is to me the most interesting hook. MPJ-DK (talk) 04:12, 1 January 2019 (UTC)
