Article Style[edit]

How do we get an administrator to approve the new article and remove its "written like an advert" tag??? (Lil-unique1 (talk) 17:05, 3 April 2009 (UTC))[reply]

Done. I've created a new section below to draw attention to the removing of tags, per the discussion here. I realise you're aware of this now, but I'll comment for later readers (summarising the issues discussed at WP:Help desk): anyone can remove tags if they feel the issues have been addressed, and it's probably a good idea to leave a note on the article's talk page (here!) explaining that that's been done.

Copyvio and advert tags removed[edit]

I've removed the {{copyvio}} and {{advert}} tags, as it looks to me like the issues have been addressed.

UK Charts[edit]

Why is the midweek chart position for this song on the page? It may be No.7 now but it may be No.22 by Sunday. Plus, the reference included only says "Love Sex Magic will break into the Top 10". It doesn't actually mean No.7. Am I right or wrong? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.71.57.231 (talk) 12:46, 9 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'd guess simply because the full-week charts aren't yet available, and that the editor who added the mid-week chart position plans to replace it when the full-week charts are available. My preference would be simply not to list the UK until the single has listed - properly - in the UK charts, but I don't feel strongly enough to remove the mid-week listing (so, basically, yes, I think you're quite right!)

Instruments[edit]

Does anybody know what instrument that is in the background through the whole song? Thanks. Andrew R (talk) 09:59, 10 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Reviewer: Jezhotwells (talk) 13:46, 5 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I shall be reviewing this article against the Good Article criteria, following its nomination for Good Article status.

Disambiguations: none found.

Linkrot: none found. Jezhotwells (talk) 13:48, 5 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Checking against GA criteria[edit]

GA review (see here for criteria)

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
~~The article is not well written:~~

the lead single in international countries "international countries"? What other kind are there?

The song sees a complete departure in Ciara's previous style of music "departure in"

Thus it embraces more of a dance-pop sound, "Thus" is unnecessary here

as well as Ciara performing choreography with dancers "performing choreography"?

For its routines it was nominated for ?

Ciara praised her time with Timberlake "praised her time".

She also complimented how passionate Timberlake was about his work, as well as his humbleness and attitude. "complimented"?

~~This is badly written, should never have been nominated in this state. Please get it copy-edited by someone with a command of good plain English. The WP:Guild of copyeditors may be able to help.~~
It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
References appear to be reliable, article is adequately referenced
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):
Good coverage, but is there nothing about the actual recording sessions? The credits section does not list any musicians?
It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias:
It is stable.
No edit wars, etc.:
It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
Overall:
Pass/Fail:
This article is not well written and needs copy-editing. There are also points about coverage above. On hold for seven days. Jezhotwells (talk) 14:29, 5 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The copy edit has taken place. Candy o32 00:35, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Really? The specific problems that I noted above remain. I suggest that you find someone who can actually read and write good plain English. The WP:Guild of copyeditors may be able to help. Jezhotwells (talk) 06:09, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I took your first suggestion and went to the Guild and posted my request, and someone from there was the one who did it. Just so you know, I am an intelligent native English speaker. Candy o32 22:36, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I see that some work has been done, but as I say many of the points i mentioned have not been addressed, so maybe you need to find someone else. I have noted before that not all members of the Guild of copyeditors are actually very good at copy-editing, and sadly this seems to be a nother instance of that.

Another edit has taken place another person. Candy o32 23:03, 9 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I think that the prose is now improved sufficiently. I made further copy-edits. better luck with finding a copy-editor next time. Listing as a Good Article. Jezhotwells (talk) 23:42, 11 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
