GA review (see here for criteria)
  1. It is reasonably well written.
    a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
    Number signs generally aren't allowed in text; for instance, #1 should be written out as No. 1 or number one. Otherwise, I see no formatting issues.
  2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.
    a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
    See below; I had several issues with the citation, but adding them in bullet form breaks the GAList template.
  3. It is broad in its coverage.
    a (major aspects): b (focused):
    I don't think that the article discusses her 1980s material fully enough. This was the peak of her career, and it could easily be split into album-by-album detail. I was able to go into album-by-album detail on GAs for far less prolific artists, such as Joe Diffie. Also, does she have a middle name? If so, it should be added to the article.
  4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.
    Fair representation without bias:
  5. It is stable.
    No edit wars, etc.:
  6. 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):
    Right now five images may seem like overkill, but if the article is lengthened per my suggestion, it'd probably be better off.
  7. Overall:
    Pass/Fail:
    The article still has a long way to go. As I said, use citation templates, weed out the bad references, and add more information on the segment for her 1980s career. I could probably take a whack at the expansion myself at some point.
Issues with sourcing
  • Source #4 (CountryWorks.com) is a 404.
  • Source #7 (Musician Guide) has been deemed unreliable in past GANs because the site lacks an editorial policy.
  • Source #17 (Legacy Recordings) seems to be just a directory listing. Could a better source be found?
  • I removed one source that was a Wikipedia mirror.
  • Source #21 (WNYC.org) is also a 404.
  • Some sources are formatted as bare links. I would also recommend using citation templates such as {{Cite web}} for neatness.
  • Finally, there was an interview in the external links which I removed, since it was almost singlehandedly spammed on several articles.
